Religion was created to instill morals into the people who follow it. Rather than laws created by kings and rulers, religion is a moral code supposedly created by a higher being and therefore infallable. In the past, all groups have been equally wrong, from Christians killing muslims in the crusades, to islamic extremists trying to kill christians. Missionaries giving bibles to starving nations instead of food to preferrential treatment of certain religions in various societies.
Now that humans have the firepower to destroy large chunks of the planet at a time, religious differences could bring about the destruction of the people it was originally meant to protect.
Dont think im aiming this towards islam, im sure if the pope issued a statement saying that breathing is a sin, 75% of Catholics would suffocate. Its a problem with religion, the fact that almost no religion tolerates or aknowledges any other is bound to create problems
Agree or disagree? Give reasons
