Most religions claim to have an account of makind's beginning as well as its end. And along with that religion's "history" of the world, there are the guidelines to living in accordance to that particular sect and how everyone else is in peril. What do you think? Who has the real "scoop"? Or is religion just another competition for the minds of people?

Do you know what is the strongest power in the world? It's belief. Religion is the best and easiest way to rule. It rules the whole world although in different ways. Christian, muslim it doesn't matter what people call it but one thing is clear that it has great power over mankind. God exists but question is we created him or he created us. I think that firs is right. I'm sure.You know human beings are keen on believing in something ( it doesn't matter is it god or low or devil). We created god just to avoid chaos. Imagine what it will be if people were not afraid of hell. Before god we were afraid of death now we're afraid of hell. Fact is that religion has become very powerful, in some way its good 'cos it gives meaning to peoples lives, but sometimes it makes people blind( but it doesn't matter if someone wants to be blind I've no problems. I wish them good luc an d good life full of meaning). I think religion was and will be very neccessary for most of people because they can't see the reason for living without life after death and they preffer to book one seat to heaven today. Beliefe can do amazing things, even miracles. We use only 2% of our brain powers, so imagine what we could do if we could use at least 30% of it.
Anyway, one clever man said: human is the only being in the world for whom existence is a problem. All our life we're trying to solve this problem. Some solve it by believing in god and heaven, that gives the meaning to their lives. Bad thing is that sometimes others use their belief.

Man made stories bring in misunderstanding and enmity. This is an eloquent proof of our ignorance.
When we read, especially when we humbly learn the teachings of Buddha, we see that there is nothing against Hinduism.
When we read, especially when we humbly learn the teachings of Christ, we see that there is nothing against Judaism.
When we read, especially when we humbly learn the teachings of Muhammad, we see that there is nothing against Christianity.
When we read, especially when we humbly learn the teachings of Baha'u'llah, we see that there is nothing against Islam.
This is another proof that only a Prophet can perfectly explain and peacefully modify the social part of the previous Revelation.
Wishing that you study the Baha'i Faith to see the eternal truth about
The Unity of God,
The Unity of Religion,
and the Unity of Mankind.

Or for some equally compelling conversation, let's talk about Santa Claus.

Religion is all nonsense, psychological pablum for the gullible and ignorant.
