No, we think religion is BAD! The scourge of humanity.

I now that I was being polite, I hate Religion, I was trying to have something positive.

Quote:but is there anything you like about about Religion?
for me:
Christianity:
1. It has created some of the beautiful architecture in the western world.

But it destroyed much more beautiful architecture than it created.
Agreed as well.
Quote:
Quote:2. It has help some of the neediest people in the world.

Some? Perhaps. But it has certainly killed millions of totally innocent people. And is still killing millions: today with e.g. HIV/AIDS in Africa. And Xtianity stymied humanity's intellectual and scientific progress for a thousand years.
And agreed again but This whole thread is what positives religion was if if it is making us see how bat-shit crazy people can get. If you want to completely gut religion please do it in another thread.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
