Religion

[SAmIDeXtEr]

My view is that the problem isn't religion itself, it's the fact that humanity will always be in conflict, we always crave ammunition & Religion is one of the many popular fuels for conflict. People just want to shove sticks up each others butts & they usee religion as 39.5ft pole of mahogany.

True but that won't change the fact that people will continue to fight in the name of God
For example Isis; aren't they fighting in the name of Allah and butchering people in the process
We are better off without religion. Religion torments weak minded people and turns their love into hatred like like uchiha and then they unleash their mangekyo sharingan on innocent people and humanity in general.

religion to some extent is a means to an end
Won't be surprised if ww3 or 4 occurs due to religious propaganda and this time "ALL THINGS SHALL END IN HIS NAME"

If the problem isn't religion, but the fact that people use religion as an excuse for their horrible acts, then without religion, they will just find another excuse.

But what do you mean by religion? Does one scientist represent the entirety of science? What religion are we talking about, what denomination with what belifs? If I said that eminem is bad, does that mean that he is actually bad or is it just my opinion of him from my perspective given how I interpreted it, so can you sure that all the people's representation is the actual entirety of all and every religion? There's this quote:
"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
Bertrand Russell

It's a means to an end. That end is random, and depends on who is using it. Some use it to Justify their actions, some use it to Teach others, some use it to Control Sheeple.

Blaming religion for the horrible acts that happen is like blaming the gun for killing someone, if I shoot you, by your logic, it's the gun's fault therefore pls sue my gun and not me for all your damages . People are in conflict because they're people, religion has no physical sustenance, it's meant to be a set of rules that govern behavior little difference from the law. In exchange you get damned or ascend to bliss. Unless you believe in Greeco-roman pantheon and other select religions then nvm, you get damned either way . People are going to make excuses for ANYTHING if it isn't religion it'll be something else. Religion in itself is good (depending on which religion you act on), it's the people that distort it and manipulate it for their own means. If I slapped you in the name of pizza, are you going to blame pizza or me just being an idiot ???

I don't really mind religion.

Comparing a Gun and Religion is not really appropriate. Religion isn't meant to kill things, but people use it as an excuse anyway. A gun is an undeniable weapon designed for no purpose but Death.

For future metaphors, i recommend a Knife over a Gun. Knives actually have constructive uses.

I was born into Christianity; I have witnessed almost everything christianity has to offer and based on my philanthropical observation
Religion is pointless, it's a means to an end, people wonna believe in something because there are scared, they are holding on to an unfathomable Illusion and eventually in isis case, it ruptures the mind like PORN and they go berserk. They ejaculate destruction in splash, they lay waste to civilization in the name of God as they moan and scream horrifically

Religion f's u up mentally
So many what ifs rumbling in your disoriented mind
The thought of going to hell or heaven sends chills down your cold spines as u watch the world dive into oblivion.

Oh, there's no "What If?"'s in my mind, and if there were i have a "This is how if"s to counter them.

This is the excuse that's as old of mankind, because x argument doesn't support my y argument said x argument is irrelevant. I never said they were the same thing I spelled it out for you, people can kill with a gun yes, but people can also use religion as an excuse to kill someone, both can be potential weapons. And not all guns are designed to kill just a vast majority there ARE some guns that are designed to stun or incapacitate (tranquilizer gun) a target either way both can be used as weapons that was the a point but my point was literally, a gun is just a gun and religion is just a bunch of rules and guidelines, it's the person that makes it to be what they are connoted to.

Guns that are designed to incapacitate are not Guns. They are weapons with "Gun" in their name. A Gun in the case of this argument is something that shoots Bullets.

A Religion is used as an excuse to kill, not a weapon. There is nothing "Potential" about a gun's use as a weapon. They are different cases entirely.

ISIS are not Muslims, rather they are plotting against Muslims. They just use the name of Islam i.e. associate themselves with Muslims while they do their horrific acts. This helps them continue with their brutal and horrific acts while simultaneously degrading Islam and Muslims (which is actually their true motive). Any proper observer must've known this by now. The very existence of ISIS is a propaganda.

And BTW, Islam doesn't teach or enforce any such thing which the ISIS is doing.

Every group has their maniacs. People only see the maniacs because they shout loudest.

From where am from, people doesn't use Religion as an excuse to kill or commit atrocities. Neither would I commit murder and use Religion as an excuse. =.=

Dat Hidan avatar though. He's a perfect example of this. Every group has it's maniacs.

 

[Wabbit]

It is not like crazy people can find another excuse. A religion has huge impact on people and culture. It could work as motivator or catalyst.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Sorry but this is nothing but a dumb generalizing. Fear is not always a factor in beliefs, people follow religion for various reasons so don't put them all in the same category. A book doesn't kill people, nor dooes it even motivate it, it's always your interpretation that does.You atheists should honestly worry about your own damn lifes, I would have given your opinion a certain amount of respect if you actually gave some thought into that BS.

Ty and have a good day.
