[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bible you clutch is a translation of a translation of a translation of stories that were fabricated and altered again and again over thousands of years. It's quite likely that many of your ancestors were forced to convert to the religion your family now eagerly celebrates. Religion and God are simply ancient control mechanisms to persuade you to follow your leader.[/quote]

And what do you follow? Do you think your actions are based on innate common sense or it it possible that religion has to some extent helped us determine right from wrong. I guarantee it, one day people will be fighting to make adultery and stealing acceptable.

I consider myself religious. I believe in God. I am not a Bible clutcher but I do feel that most religions are more similar than not in what they preach. I also think that for the most part, that if people followed what was preached, this world would be a MUCH better place.

The root of all evil and the demise of society isn't religion - it is the media and entertainment world  (Kardashians, anyone??). Why does a basketball player make so much money? Why do the Kardashans get more attention than those who are actually doing good? Why does the media focus on the bad to the point where we are completely desensitized? Why are so many people selfish and greedy? The reason isn't religion.[/quote]
