Appreciate religion

Seems like the real job and money goes in to "magical"/invisible job and money/heaven in religion. In poor countries it help people a lot.
I think, even if religion seems retarded with its magic(everything is possible), still, a lot of people are surviving relaying on this chance. I don't know what would I do if I was born in Africa or Mexico.

Quote:In poor countries it keeps people from turning in to Mexico.
What? You realize Mexico is an extremely religious country, right? And so is virtually every country in Africa? How would religion prevent poor people from 'turning into Mexico' when poor people in Mexico are hugely religious? What does this even mean?

What religion allows brutal crime?
What society, regardless of religion, allows brutal crime? And you didn't even try to address my point.

They're not "surviving relying on this chance". Religion is inexorably tied to -why- the place is a shithole to begin with. I never understood this notion..that some ideological subset can beat the ever living shit out of a people but then be made nostalgic for having flashed a counterfeit piece of cake in front of the poor fuckers.
That, to me, is pretty much the definition of religious effrontery.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Saudi Arabia, Iran for example "drowned" long ago in the afterlife promise and have extreme order.

...Is that you admiring Saudi Arabia? They're literally in the top 3 of utter worst human rights violators in the world. Are you fucking serious?

I think "extreme order" might actually be code for human rights abuse.
