What destroys more lives: war, prostitution, pornography, philosophy, religion, work, Hollywood, literature?

Answer 1

All you religion-haters...are you serious???

War undoubtedly destroys more lives. It kills many, leaves fatherless and husband-less the same families, it steals the potential leaders of a nation, and is typically a reaction to a threat or attempt to overtake another.

Religion, for its flaws, also is responsible for hospitals, schools, charity, the civil rights movement, the anti-slavery movement and reasoned environmentalism, not to mention personal benefits to believers.

Answer 2

Hollywood

Answer 3

Gotta go with war, with philosophy being second. Imagine all the wars that have and still exist. As far as philosophy, one man's beliefs caused the deaths of 6 million people. Stalin's philosophy caused the death rate to be high as well.

Answer 4

Religion, religious war, religious philosophy, religious work and religious literature. However, we've also seen evangelist prostitution and pornography as well.

Answer 5

War and religion. I can recall half baked arguments for the others but how does philosophy destroy lives?

Answer 6

How can anyone know this?

I'm gonna guess philosophy. Because so much of it is based in bullshit, but people tend to live by it. Some can even say religion on that same premise.

Answer 7

Anything up there considering heavy religion..., some hollywood religion is excepted, considering that people believe in what their hollywood rolemodels believe.

Answer 8

I have to agree with poison. Religion is the cause of many wars, and perpetuates and contributes to many illnesses (Black plague was fomented by the eradication of cats, determined by the church to represent "evil").

Answer 9

I would have to go with religion as it seems to cause hatred and wars.

Answer 10

Religion, this is a no-brainer (it's behind all wars, and then has other genocidal instruments on top of it all)
