Religion has no proof of any kind and never has had, so why are people prepared to kill and die for it?

Answer 1

I'm afraid that the answer to that question is pretty easy, it's simply for power and money. Christianity and Islam like to kill their fellow human beings.

I know there are many nice people who believe in God, but the real evil amongst us, are the vast majority of religious followers and believers who have clearly shown over time to be the major instigators of wars, violence, abuse, greed and practically everything evil on our planet.

Even according to Genesis in the Bible, God is clearly the greatest mass murderer in history. The Bible is full of terrible atrocities and evil, far more than nice things, but of course believers will just ignore or twist the atrocities into whatever soothes their confused minds.

Everyone knows of murders and violence associated with Christianity and Islam, I suppose all of the other major religions have a track record of killing their fellow human beings as well.

All religious preachers just pump their one theory (God exists) down our throats.

When the science community makes a discovery or modifies a theory they publish a paper for all to view, speculate on, and debate. Invariably such discoveries open up our simplistic minds and expand our horizons. Examples would be the works of Einstein and Hawking, to name a very small sample.

So why do preachers have to continually pump their one theory (God exists) down our throats. Why do they stand on street corners and hand out leaflets, yell at passers by, gather huge crowds and push unsuspecting victims over in the belief they will be cured of whatever mental or physical ailment invades them, if they just believe in the theory of God.

Why can’t the believers of religious theory just behave in a decent manner, in much the same way as the scientific community does. The answer to all of these questions is simple. They know their theory of God is wrong, and saturation mental and verbal bombardment is the only way they can convince people, and they do it directly or indirectly for money.

For a better example of how money is involved consider this. Sam has a lunatic in his head, but God tries to cure him with another religious Bible con-trick.

For far too long we have been inundated with religious preachers knocking on doors, screaming on street corners, babbling in church, and worst of all, using TV to ram their beliefs down our throats and those of our children. Prophets or profits? I think the answer is obvious. Hands raised upwards, then into the pockets, let’s give money money money.

A little old lady comes on stage, push her forehead, she falls over and low and behold, she’s cured of her mental and physical woes. Hands raised again, yep you’re on to it, let’s give more money money money. Check out the preachers shiny white teeth as they count their gold.

Here’s the truth. Sam has a lunatic in his head, crippled legs, done his bit for the country, but Sam manages to come on stage smiling, gets pushed over, falls flat on his rear end and he’s still got a lunatic in his head, and he’s still a cripple. Guess what, no money money money. That’s the real truth. All of the magic cures are just fake stage plays, and they do it for money, money, money.

Answer 2

Religion is man seeking to understand why and who he is and what place he has in the scheme of things. People don't kill and die for religion they kill and die for money and power to fulfill that base human need to control and dominate they only use religion as an excuse to do those things to cloak themselves in the sanctimonious self righteous piety. Those who sit at their computers proclaiming they would die are merely blowing air no one really knows how they will react in any situation until the situation is upon them and to proclaim they would is vanity and pride, but they know how they will react when they fanatically follow blindly those in POWER telling them god said do this and that. For that person who said god wouldn't tell them to kill someone better go back and read their bible that old testament that they are so fond of thumping when they want to parade their prejudices under the veil of piety, there are plenty of episodes where that same god ordered entire cities down to the last living animal destroyed. It is for base human need to control and own and dominate that people kill and die and no other reason

Answer 3

You are assuming that religion is based on lies.

If you assume that religion is based on truths then there has been enormous proof.

Moses parted the red sea.
Jesus fed the five thousand and died and was resurrected.

If these stories can be believed than people would certainly go to great lengths to serve their leaders and spread belief.

Killing others doesn't seem like a good way to spread belief though. Seems like a way to gather power. Wars are power issues and not religious issues.

Answer 4

Blessed are those who haven't seen but believe.

From Jesus' appearance to the doubting Thomas the first week after His Resurrection.

Having no physical proof is no excuse for not believing.

Those who kill and die for religion are operating under Satan's wishes and not God's.

Answer 5

love has no proof of any kind and never has had, so why are people prepared to kill and die for IT?

Answer 6

What are you talking about and where do you get your information from??? Are you basing your assumption on what you believe?? If so, I guess we should all take your word that Religion has no significance? OK, I got it now, 'THANK YOU O WONDERFUL MASTER OF THE UNIVERISE WHO KNOWETH ALL THINGS. (NOT!!!) HUMM, I can't remember the last time I was willing to kill or die for my religion. I guess I have the wrong type???

Answer 7

Why do people do anything? Could it be that as humans we think we can do anything, even make wrong right by justifying? Suppose thier was no right or wrong, only good or bad. To clearify, good means empowers, bad means disempower. What would be the greatest good? This is how we should decide truth, otherwise we might be doing nothing more than justifying the lie we believe.

Answer 8

God has interacted with man since his existence, those too blind to realize it die in their skepticism. All of creation testifies of His glory, Jesus interacted with thousands of people and established His deity while on earth. The astronomical improbability of evolution and the scientific understanding of the mastery and order of the universe screams out of a creator.
There is proof all around you, you just have to open your eyes.

Answer 9

People who kill and die for religion are just using it as an excuse for their violence.

Answer 10

He who owns the religion owns the world. Ask the pope.
