Do you think the world is better off without religions ?

I think you may have missed the part of my brief history where I take about things other than doctrine, and the part where I said the things worthwhile in religion should continue.

The other thing you mentioned was 'moral common sense.' You didn't suggest that should continue, but that it should be subjected to the same kind of Enlightenment vetting.

to guys who said Yes!
are you gay?!
Is islam a religion?!
ok then, this religion tells homosexuals like yourselves should be killed or stoning, can you accept it?! imagine yourself in such a situation...!

although i believe that if one day any religion get deleted from the life of mankind, something similar to it would be created just to destroy the fear of the Death and tell the human: "don't be afraid, there is another life, death is not the end!"

Yes. However God is everything and everyone. People need to become more spiritual and in tune with themselves and God as opposed to bible thumping and going to church to sit stand kneel and say 10 hail mary's and then act like an asshole after. Organized religion is a joke to me.

absolutely not. how else are we supposed to tell which people are easily brainwashed and controlled?

what is terrifying about what kallipoilis says is that people who subscribe to such radical views is that they much more dangerous than a non-believer because they are able to justify their actions while a non-believer lives in the real world.

New info for better off without religion because i heard on a local radio ad saying,
the church business name has changed from:

"Uniting church care" to "Uniting community" because people don't like to hear things about religion.

^^ Maybe that's why they changed the name of the "Christian Children's Fund"?
