religion is the causes all of?

Question

all the problems we have in the world. what is your oppinion?

Answer 1

On the other hand, fear of divine wrath probably keeps a lot of people from doing terrible things. Maybe that's why some religious folks cling irrationally to the idea of organized religion: they need a very powerful incentive (fear of eternal hell, e.g.) to be decent people.

Answer 2

I can understand that it might appear to be that way.
But there is more to this than the apparency.

Consider this:

A society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.
If you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.
The source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.
Unfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others
to forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.

The key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:
The spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.

Answer 3

I don't think it has anything to do with religion, I feel it has more to do with the way people think, I don't have religion, but you don't see me on the news or in the papers making an A** out of my self. I think violence can happen to any one,any where, at any time. Even some priests go nutty on us, Religion is not to blam. Look how many crazy people we have today,killing for nothing. And the war............. That is all about caring about other people.......Being selfless,We just want another country to be as free as we all are in the USA, No religion did not cause it!!!

Answer 4

No the cause of all problems in the world are basic things like jealousy, greed, pride etc etc. Religion is just an excuse. Human nature is to blame.

Answer 5

What you call "religion" is a complex relationship between God, propositions, and people. In the ultimate example of throwing the baby out with the bath water, if you despise everything about religion then you despise some things that even you, as a hater of religion uphold and practice.

Be specific; what irks you? It's not all religion is it?

Answer 6

We are still living in the face of the earth thanks to religion. God is at work, but you don't know that. Religion save the world from a lot of bad stuff. If it was not for religion maybe we would not even exist for religion restrain people from doing what is wrong and cruel. people in the ancient time walked by the rules of their religion.

Answer 7

I would rather go with the religious person than the greedy one, or the bad mannered one. Religion generally speaking teaches us right from wrong and as long as we do our best, it is far better than the other person who could not give a toss for anyone other than him/herself. Although it may seem at times that one religion is at the throat of another, in practice it is generally not so. However, I would still prefer someone with principal, be it religion or not, against someone who has none............

Answer 8

Yes religion is the cause...not lack of religion. Those who lack religion could care less about what the religious are fighting about. Religion has caused more wars, death and destruction than any other "cause". It's crazy!

Answer 9

Religion isn't the cause. It's fundamentalism which causes all the problems: the belief that everyone has to follow your own interpretation of religion.

Answer 10

No I think the lack of Religion and willfulness of understanding is the cause of the problems.
