Out of all the people I have known, I think, well I'm sure, that I have met more people whose mind is messed up and warped by religion than those who I've known that had their brain totally messed up by drugs. And the drug users seemed to be far kinder people who treated all those around them better then the religious folk. But also keep in mind, I am from Utah.

i've been saying that for years, religion is the root of all evil.there is never a war that doesn't have to do with religion anymore.
maybe everyone should believe in the devil, no one ever fights because there devil is better then your devil

If, as Mao did, you think that "religion is the opium of the masses", then yes, religion should be considered as a dangerous and highly addictive drug. I do think that religion can lead people to do horrible things, and that it is directly the cause of lots of war and conflicts around the world

I don't know how it is in Utah, but there are a lot of murders that go on in the rest of the world from drug dealers that didn't get their money.
Sure, there are nutcakes everywhere, even in the name of God, but if you would follow the the actual teaching of Jesus Christ, the world would be a wonderful place!

You need to get out of Utah...people in religions, not "cults" are not "messed up" as you put it so childishly. I suggest you understand what the difference is and find people who are on the right path.

Like you said. Utah...depends on the religion.
If "religious" people would do what Christ taught instead of acting like fools on TV the world would be a better place!
Christianity was illegal during the New Testament times and all the apostles died for their faith.
Remember, Hitler burned bibles before he burned people.

Well, no, the Russians tried that with Communism...not so much...!?! People get fanatical about a lot of things...are you going to make all those things illegal too? Will that solve the 'problem'...? I suspect not.

Only some drugs are illegal, the harmful ones so I guess only harmful religion and churches should be illegal not the true.

Yes, except for atheistic religions.

Some people need to have their head examined. Attending church services will free your mind.

You obviously must be on drugs right now to have asked that question. Oh and a hint... learn how to spell "illegal."
