if religion is so great why does it seperate us? Why do others kill in the name of religion.

its funny people say "where god is not there........it's dangerous or there is more violance" I would like to say that in all the countries that have not much violance god is not seen very often but only in a church or at home or privatly. I don't mind, but would you like to have someone in a mall preaching? telling you your going to hell if you don't change religions.
The heavy religous areas are all stricken by war, poverty and communist governments. and they say it's all in the name of god................

I have always loved the Yahoo answerer who said, "Religion should be like underwear - worn on the inside."
Religion, a comfort to many, should never be rammed down the throats of others. It should never be said that anyone's belief system is more "right" than anyone else's - which I thought was judging others, and against most teachings.
Again, I have absolutely no problem with people who want to make a SILENT prayer over their meals, flights, football games, or anything else. Just don't pipe it through the PA System, thanks.
I wholeheartedly disagree with those who feel it is their calling to "preach" their beliefs, who often assume that they are 100% correct, and everyone will agree with them. Another saying comes to mind -
"Better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
Good question!

There is nothing wrong with people peacefully practicing their religion as it fits into their lives. There is nothing wrong with people giving thanks before meals or seeking comfort at times of fear (which, for many people, is on each and every plane). The problems start when one group decides they are right and everyone else is wrong and starts forcing their beliefs onto others. Handing out pamphlets, "witnessing", proselytizing in any form should be outlawed. A man who stood in a mall shouting about how all of the children who walked by were doomed forever to poverty because they weren't in college would be quickly ushered out yet when the same man stands there yelling at little children that they are doomed to Hell, he is left alone. Its just wrong. Religion is a private business and should be kept to oneself.

no, it should not be.
thats why malls and planes are so dangerous these days because God is not allowed there. if u dislike religion just ignore it, why should it bother u if the stranger next to u is praying for a safe flight. if anything u should be happy that the are welcoming God aboard.

Jesus tells us to go out into the world and preach! We are to spread the good news that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that if you believe in him, then you will have eternal life!
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 :Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

No, for some people religion is so much a part of their lives and their very being. Why would they leave their religion at home? It's not something that can be done.

No it should not. Whether someone is Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, New Age or Atheist, they have all rights to express their beliefs publicly. They must then also be willing to live with the consequences of their beliefs

religion needs to be eliminated, A.S.A.P.
and replaced by doing this:
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any other being with Spiritual intelligence.
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
