If you could snap your figures and one religion would disappear from the planet, if you chose one, which one?

Question

If people could also explain their answer, that would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

Easy

"snap" - "Be rid of the wrong religion"

The one left over, if there is one, would be the right one.

Answer 2

I'd agree with getting rid of the Fundamentalists in ALL religions. People who hate and use their holy books to hide behind and justify their hatred through, and bring death and destruction to the entire planet.

First it was Christianity, now it's Islam, who is doing this.

I'm not too happy with the Fundamentalist Jews either who don't allow women to participate in religious functions (minyan, tallit, tefillin, become rabbis, etc.) But at least they have never gone around blowing up people and trying to take over the world as Christianity did for 2000 years, and now Islam is coming to take over that job from the Christians.

But still, Fundamentalists are not good for people and other living things, no matter what religion they are from.

So I'd vote for making Fundamentalism illegal actually, in case snapping my fingers to make them disappear would kill them - otherwise I'd be no better than they are. I don't feel that I have the right to take anyone else's life because of their religious viewpoints.

If I could snap my fingers and know that they would all instantly disappear from here and all land on a deserted planet somewhere where they could all kill each OTHER off, that would be ok though. No problemo.

Answer 3

I know of no actual "religion" that would deserve that to happen to it, even though ALL religions are merely humanly-devised constructs. As a Christian believer, I recognize that the true essence of the unity of all Christian believers isn't a "religion," but rather is the **relationship** that we have with Jesus.

Most (but hopefully not all) of the world's religions are flawed very seriously in one regard. The presence of repressive extremists within them, either in the form of individuals, or cults, who are intolerant of one or more of the personal liberties that billions of people enjoy.

So -- if their **repressive mindset and bigotry** (not the people themselves) would disappear overnight, the world would be a WONDERFULLY better place.

Answer 4

Ideally I'd have more than one choice and I could zap the lot of them into oblivion, but as you're making me choose I'll go for Islam because it's the religion which I think is most demeaning to women.

Answer 5

God will not snap his fingers, but He'll speak the Word and rule and reign earth with a rod of iron. The wicked and evil will be removed in an instant. Every knee will bow and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Answer 6

Atheism is a non-belief system--The Bible is written so as to believe by Faith. Atheists look at the Bible and facts don't jive so they have to believe by Faith the Bible is not real. Facts don't lead to non belief acceptance of no-facts is by Faith

Answer 7

I'll start with the biggest, and hope that whoever gave me this power would be pleased enough to give me more powers

Answer 8

Snap! Atheism's abolished!

is Klue Klux Clan a religion? o is a cult. . or is abolished.

Answer 9

abrahamic religions... that should cover most of it. maybe i could say paganism because that includes almost all of them(including the abrahamic religions)

but if i said that, i dont think it will include scientology... scary scary thought to have that one left behind.

freebird: great answer

Answer 10

All of them that teach man made doctrines and not the truth of the scriptures.
