Religion is bullshit

[Edify]

The simple answer is yes: Religion is crap. Religion, as in the rules and rituals in order to earn some sort of afterlife.

On the other hand, Relationship is good. That is the relationship between God and man, like Father and son.

Christianity was intended to be about relationship but it has become more like over-doctrinated, rule-based religion.

After this thread being recycled 10000 times you can't even make this one original? Come on burnt you're better than this.

Ok burnt I think what you meant to say was that there is no such thing as a grander being then ourselves on this planet. Religion is in fact real and so was Jesus. Jesus just was a person but he was only a normal human who cared enough to help other people at all times other them himself. this is just simple fucking logic. Z
and religion itself is the following of people in a organization together. Anyways I don't want to rant too much but I'm glad you finally realized and maybe have learned to accept what live and you and blah n
blah blah else is with logic. Good Job you. I figured all that out years ago lol.

This is your brain



This is your brain on religion

Itt

We use extreme examples to try to prove a retarded point and justify a decision we are still not secure about!

Good work Burnt, you're proving your point really well here!!

[Galleleo]

Why don't we just leave it up to people to decide for themselves?

Some people get strength or other things from it, others don't and think it's nonsense. This discussion is the most futile and inane one that exists. Leave it up to people to make decisions for themselves and let them live in peace.

Ok. Doesn't mean you can't discuss it.

This discussion is the most futile and inane one that exists.

I think it's an interesting topic. People change religions all the time (http://religions.pewforum.org/reports) so discussing religion and which one is actually true or if none of them are makes perfect sense to me. If you don't like it then don't participate.

Leave it up to people to make decisions for themselves and let them live in peace.

I doubt anyone on this forum wants to convert people at the point of a gun so I don't even know who you are talking to.


Another reason to point out it's all bullshit is to convince people it's bullshit BEFORE they sign billion year contracts: http://laist.com/2010/03/04/about_th...illion-yea.php

Also some religions by their very nature force people to stay in by threatening with death if they leave: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,541540,00.html

And some parents just get really pissed

Smartest post in thread, +1 2 gall

[raizin]

yea paul let them live in peace, really smart.

You are now aware that religion has been the cause of about 99.99% of wars throughout mankind.

it is safe to assume that any man who believes in creation over evolution is either stupid, ignorant, or insane
