WRONG

Religion is the cause of discrimination......not the other way around!
It hurts people who do not agree.....It destroys lives.

Of course they did, just as they do in religious groups today....no different....Only difference now is that we have a religious people who condemn others with the ways of Satan....and though satan is a myth, it is still hammered on to people that don't agree with religion...........You think we like being associated with satan?.........Why is it if a person doesn't believe we are all decieved by satan?....why can't it just be we know the truth about things....

Well, specifically in the Bible, you see stuff like, "love thy neighbor" or, "love thine enemy." And has anybody ever heard of the Golden Rule?

Yes said by Jesus, who wasn't a Christian.

That doesn't make any sense. He's the son of God. He taught his father's gospel. That means he was teaching Christianity.

debbiejo Dreamer

No it doesn't....The church today doesn't follow Jesus....They follow Paul.....and no Jesus was not a Christian, he was a Jew. More enlightened though...kinda like Buddha.

apoc001 BEWY!

Well, my Christian church follows Christ. I just assumed the others were doing the same.

The problems with religion are ultimately problems with human beings. As much as religion may exacerbate these problems, getting rid of religion won' t get rid of the problems. They' ll just pop up again elsewhere.

Considering how much hatred and bloodshed has stemmed from religion throughout human history, would you say that religion is generally an evil thing? Would it be better if we had no religion at all? Is religion just a scapegoat, and even if we didn’t have it would we just find other reasons to hate and kill each other?
