If we peel back the "Onion" of religion will we find something rotten at it's core?

Answer 1

Yes, darnit! Something stinks at church...

Answer 2

Its core is rather good, its some of the peelings that are rotten!

Answer 3

if the onion is Christianity, then I'd say yes. And not to mention how many tears will come to your eyes as you peel each layer.

Answer 4

yes...you will find a man interpreting with his own intelligence his own idea of what it takes to be holy. religeon is not pleasing God...religeon does not equal righteousness or being right....so i agree totally religeon is a rotten cancer of human misunderstanding of God. I seperate my definition of religeon from a belief in God tho...but i believe there is no private interpretation of God..only one correct way, and anyone that identifies with a certain sect or religeous label is dangerous to themselves and everyone around them.

Answer 5

Interesting question. I think that behind most religious beliefs and practices lies a heart of a sinner. Often we do what we do because we want to earn our own salvation. It is only when we trust on God and His working (Jesus dying on the cross, specifically) that we can ever please Him with our works.

Answer 6

I guess that depends on how astutely you made your selection at the produce bin of life.

Answer 7

Yes...Humans in control and believing they really understand.

Answer 8

You can't tell from the first layer? ;o>

Answer 9

no, your eyes will water and the stink will make you stop

Answer 10

no.
