what is the dumbest of the organized religions, and why?

Answer 1

1. Atheism. The idea that humans just got here alone. (Evolution)
The idea that the other 90% of humanity are just morons and ninnies believing in Fairy Tales itself is bad.

2. Pasifitarianism (Flying Spaghetti Monster) is just a joke entirely. (Not sure this is organized)

3. Scientology Mostly for above listed reasons.

4. I think some of the denominations like Mormonism are bad too. Interpreting Genesis to take place in Missouri? Moronic. (sorry if I offend someone, but there is no evidence for Missouri)

BTW some comments on people talking about Christianity. First off, there has to be absolute truth. 2+2 absolutely can't equal 5. The Battle of the Bulge was not fought between Chinese and Aliens (don't listen to Calvin) Math is absolute, Social Studies is absolute, why should religion be any different.

As for using Holy Books for science. First off ID is not Chritianity. It's the same as using Math books for science. If two subjects conflict (Christianity and Evolution) one has to be wrong. Science changes. Even gravity is still a theory. (The newest issue of Discover gave an alternative theory) Many things excepted as scientific fact and orthodox have been wrong in the past. Christianity has been around for 2000 years with out changing. I'm gonna stick with the one that doesn't change.

Answer 2

Ah, you are attempting to evade the respond with the aid of no longer making it between the attainable selections. the main appropriate answer is Christianity, particularly than only any prepared faith. many faiths, surely i could probability to declare maximum, tell their adherents to seek for know-how and solutions. Christianity and, to a lesser quantity Judaism and Islam, tell human beings to easily believe in God. by the way, Christianity has already been used to do as you recommend: dumb down a inhabitants. The Christian Church, on the time Catholicism, replace into used frequently to maintain the a variety of of Europe in a state of complacency. The term replace into called the dark an prolonged time because of the fact coaching replace into reserved for the elite of the church, maximum the Aristocracy could no longer even examine. Christianity has even been called the religion of slavery, because it encourages obedience in this existence in return for a promised reward interior the subsequent.

Answer 3

Islam takes the cake: it is designed to eradicate human rights.

Note: I tried to reply to "Erin S," who asked me "Message: please don't think i'm arguing, i'm not. i really wanted to know what makes islam the stupidest religion in your mind? is actually the same god as christians. and jesus was a prophet, just not the end all and be all. you can't blame a religion for the fanatics."

Yahoo Answers would not allow me to send my answer because it said "Erin S" had not verified her Email address (whatever that means), so I elected to post my answer to her question here:

>> No offense intended or taken.

The greatest problem stems from organized religion (the bane of every pure faith) -- but that wasn't the question.

If Islam's abuses of humanity were limited to the actions of a few freaks having no legal authority, it would be as harmless as the bastardizations of Christianity: despite the absurdly irresponsible and hateful pronouncements of those having usurped its jargon, Christianity remains a benign and benevolent faith.

In Christianity, neither any person nor any group of persons (however organized) has the right either to put to death any person or to mutilate any person for any reason: all such authority is rightly reserved to God, Who is not (according to the historical record) impotent to act without reliance on the hands of man.

Unlike Islam, Christianity does not call for the anihilation of any people. Again, the words of its text (Bible v Qu'ran) are irrelevant apart from the actions typical of the adherents.

It can't be credibly argued that Islamic charities aren't conspirators in the evil of Islam.

If Muslims genuinely believed that Islam prohibits inhumane practices, that it respects individual autonomy with respect to (for instance) clothing choices, that it doesn't allow the outrages of "traditional wedding" as practiced in Saudi Arabia (etc. ad nauseum) -- then they would have long ago deposed their evil rulers.

Islam distinguishes itself as the religion most abusive against its devotees and most hateful towards mankind.<<

Answer 4

Why place judgement against a group like that? A religion is just that. It might be dumb to some people but to others it is a way to come closer to God.

I think there are some mislead people and they need to be moved back into a greater relationship with God.

Answer 5

All organized religion sucks, but the Hebrew faith sucks the least, if you ask me. I mean, they openly endorse questioning of the faith; and that's a step in the right direction. Really hate the Catholics, though.

Answer 6

Any religion that purposefully tries to deny science and say the earth is only 6000 years old is quite stupid.
any religion that oppresses and abuses their women and has the legal right to kill them and makes their women dress in sheets with only their eyes exposed is a dumb religion.

Answer 7

All religions have there faults. But I favor Christianity and Islam the least because they always have extremist cults and branches.

Answer 8

Scientology. They believe that aliens sucked up people's souls a long time ago and only by paying tons and tons of money to the scientology church can your body be free.

Answer 9
