I'm sorry if I offend anyone but religion is now one of the worlds biggest killers. It's not just islam (the definate worse of the lot) but the whole concept of believing in a God just isn't worth the pain it is causing the world.....these books just brainwash people into been hypocrites. There is no middle ground, it either brings the best out of people or the worse. I don't follow religion and although I'm not a saint, I'm not evil either.
Also, God created earth, he created Adam & Eve. Soooooo where did the Dinosaurs come into play? It's evolution baby....nothing else.

I just wanted to say that it's not every day that you get to use the word "tosh" in a sentence.

Account then four the 43 million killed by Communist Russia and China in a relatively sort time span. Of course no one likes to admit these countries were operating under the official flag of atheism. It would incredibly naive to think if there was no religion there would be no war. Most wars are about stealing another persons land and goods. That will always remain. Karl Marx book brainwashed alot of people to do alot of evil.

I TOTALLY AGREE! religon is built out of fear of the unknown in the wee old days we didnt know why the sun rose and set and how things did what they did. So a thing was created called god it was the answer to everything " why does a flower grow" " oh that will be gods work" gives the answer to something the peasents could understand that a being more powerful did everything. Now the enlightened future thanks to the new god science know why these things happen and have no need of god hence religous numbers are dropping.

i agree with you to a certain degree... i think that religion is the reason why there are problems all around the world such as constant problems in the middle east, discrimination against the gay community, genocide, etc. but take a look at the bible... Jesus never told us to kill but to turn the other cheek, but we've got Tony Blair and George W Bush destroying Iraq, killing children, etc... I think instead of blaming religion, or even believing it, we should take the good things, such as the morals handed down to us, and expel the bad. Use the good things as a guideline to life and ignore the rest.

Don't confuse RELIGION with GOD.
I agree that religion has caused a vast amount of suffering through the world but this is by zealots who want to force everyone to believe what they believe. Also if you follow the cant and dogma it would drive you insane.
A belief in God can do no harm at all - after all God is just GOOD. If we all believed in GOOD things then the world would be a better place.

Steaming and nauseating tosh indeed. I'm fascinated by these bonios who agree that religion's bad, but claim that some extra-religious relationship with God is much better. OK, point made, but I think you'll find that when this questioner - or anyone else who doesn't 'Believe' - says 'religion', he means general belief in a deity. That would, in fact, probably EXclude non-theist religions.

Religion is man's way of finding excuses for his actions.
"God made me do it...."
"It is the will of Allah..."
blah blah blah blah
Dinosaurs existed......we have absolute PROOF (and carbon dated too!)
Religious freaks can prove nothing - everything is hearsay and nothing is fact.....however....human nature will always try to find reasons for things that may have no reason. We are on a planet, therefore somebody had to have created it. They give the `somebody` many names (God, Allah, Budha etc) therefore creating a `father figure` they thank for life and all things in it.
Well I'm sorry for those people, they're having a bubble! .....and before people start to flame the argument with comments about finding peace etc....it has already been mentioned and is a fact that nearly all wars and killings on this planet have religion to thank for them.

Couldn't have put it better myself. It IS a killer. And its such a shame that if God and the like don't exist then all this killing and all the wasted lives of people too afraid to make mistakes.....well. What a waste of a life when we might only have one. I believe that religion is just a way of making us a little less unafraid to die.

religion (don't use CAPS) is absolute Spiritual BS...
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
atheists = all the people in religion
Here's the Solution for religion:
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.
Your question did contain a lot of Truth, watch the believers and faithful responses...
and their "gods" children !!! lmao @ them...
Create Your Relationship.....................
