[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Okay, now say it with me, everyone: religion is bad. [/quote]

I am personally not religious, but I can't agree with such an unequivocal statement. A lot of good has been done in the name of religion, just as a lot of bad has. There are good and bad people who practice religion, just as there are good and bad people who don't.

I'm hard pressed to think of things that would even begin to offset the war, hatred, and oppression that religion has wrought. I think that if humans were able to relinquish superstition, then they would find their humanity again and would finally be able to meet everyone's basic needs on earth. Which would, of course, end violence like this.

It's not acceptable to say religion is bad, I get it, but just because Aunt Lois was able to find solace in a fairytale on her deathbed and a few people build a house every year doesn't mean that religion gets a pass for what it's done to humanity since time immemorial. [/quote]

I agree. Throughout the history of time, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and maybe even the Hindus have committed unspeakable atrocities against humanity  and it was committed in the name of their religions. There have been some good people in all the religions who have tried to do good and positive things in the name of his respective religions. But the horrors committed by others in their name, far outweigh the good. [/quote]
