Quote:Agreed as well.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.
Quote: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.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.
