As long as you don't burn your wife's face, kill your sister for being raped, blow up any buildings, or attack a bomb to yourself and hop a bus, then I'll trust your religious intentions are good. ✅

Religion... root of all evil? XDD
I really dont understand at all what kind of religion people knows here... to say all the things people says XDD.

Humans are The Evil, actually. Humans are completely natural born evil.
Religion is here finally to control the natural evil and pervertions of the human kind.
Religion is here because of the need to fight the evil some how XD

Oh really? Then can you explain why it does such a crappy job?

whether or not religion is a force for evil or good depends on 2 things - The religion itself, and how it's adherents apply the religion.

As for the root of all evil - I'm going with Paul. The love of money is the root of evil. paraphrased to the love of things is the root of evil.

Eastern religions also teach it. Attachment leads to pain.

Attachment also leads to passion, which as we've seen is a very powerful force.

Are you advocating detachment?

👆 Attachment DOES lead to pain.

Of course our philosophy differes slightly to yours because, detachent should indicate the ipermanance of all things.

Nothing in this world is in its true form, because nothing is permanent.

Therefore, to attach yourself to something is to attach yourself to the falsness or illusion, as what you are attaching yourself too, is not permanent and will not last. (because as we said, nothing is in its right form, and everything changes constantly)

Such example can be applied to the money.

Don't forget that attachment to certain ideas, like religion, can be just as detrimental as attachment to money

Religion is not the root to all evil

Neither is money...

That's a load of bullsh*t....

Religion and Money can serve as justifications or motivations for evil, but if evil is truly an existant force, and not just an interpretation based on our biased perceptions, then its roots lay much deeper...within ourselves.

Where does sincere cruelty, hate, and sadism originate? How is it born ?

You guys HONESTLY think that Religion OR money can SPARK these things? They only serve as CATALYSTS, but those aspects of a person are far more internal than anything like reliigon or money.
