[B]Question: Does Religion actually WORK ? Isn't one of the major goals of religion to promote Unity? What are your thoughts..... [/B]

I honestly think religion is more about the promotion of hatred, rather than love and respect.

All those events he mentioned have nothing to do with religion.
Again, it all about politics or some crazy fanatics that really believed they were performing God's will what's not religion's falt aswell.

religion is about respecting people who you think are better than you, despising those who don't.

No it's about making other people believe in what you believe and not by forcing them but by teaching them ideas of your religion.

I don't think that's the intention of religion, but that does seem to be the intention of many religious people, whether they realize it or not.

Don't forget about totally disregarding and tearing down thier beleifs as well, as well as limitting the freedoms of other people who don't share your Faith. 😉

Personally I believe that Islam, Christianity and Judaism just look at the same God from different angles.

Humanity is flawed, and it is the natural instinct of any human being to feel the urge to enforce his beliefs on others. It makes people feel good and satisfies the ego.

tearing down? Nope. There is nothing strange that every religion call itself a true religion. And nobody will force you believe if you don't feel like it. Again, if you talk about homosexuality then it's not religion that limits your freedom but law.

Yes Sam Z, Law that is often based on Religious Beliefs.

Does that make religion wrong? NO....it makes the intrusion of religion into politics wrong.

True. Even in countries where leader of the country is also a leader of religion they use it as cover to reach their goals.

I know, that unfortunately that's what gives Religion such an undesirable reputation to many people.

I'll try in the future, however, to not think of religious people simply as "blinded"--i know full well that not ALL religious people are like that.

I'm very happy to hear that. Honostly i am.

I am glad that this made you happy.

All I ask in return is that you promise yourself the same. I don't know enough about Islam, so i would have to do much more research on the religion before judging it (Although judging your Faith was not my intention)

All I ask, especially in the issue of Homosexuality, is that before you come up with assumptions of gay people and gayness in general, please do all your research.

A religious way of looking at it is only ONE WAY and too unfair a judgement in my opinion.

Talk to gay people, research sexual identity studies, and THEN your understanding of people like that will be MUCH CLEARER and your opinion MORE VALID.

That's all 🙂

I'll keep it in mind, and i really don't judge about gay people only from religious way. It's just the subject we talk about here needed me to look at it from religious point of view. But I never believe stereotypes, so don't worry. I never judge about people by others opinions.

Awesome Sam Z

I must apologize for misjudging you. I thought you closed minded, but i am clearly wrong.

Take care
