If we keep on blaming religion all the problems of the world will aggravate to its maximum possible. Religion has kept the hopes of man alive through the centuries

Answer 1

I would have to say lack of education, Illiteracy. There are so many people in this world who can't read and there are so many people in this world who are being taught in schools and in their homes that Terrorism is good and they should hate Muslims or Jews or Christians...
These kids can't read properly so they go on what their teachers and parents are telling them.
I live in a Muslim country and I see first hand the lack of education and illiteracy that has struck most of these faithful Muslims....Instead of reading the Quran they listen to their leaders or family members. The leaders know this and prey on this weakness...Instead of telling them the truth they tell these Muslims that Shiia Muslims are bad and should be killed or that Prophet Muhammad condoned the killing of Dogs...Or that if a woman doesn't wear Hijaab she should be beaten....This is what they are being taught and instructed to follow and because of their lack of proper education and figuring out how to read properly they believe it...Even though in their (our) book it clearly goes against all these things. But with no proper education no one will know any better. and they don't. They actually believe what they are being told...faithfully with all of their hearts....
I had a teacher that taught History in Egypt, upon arriving she was instructed to never speak of the Holocaust as they did not want the kids knowing or hearing about it....
You see how important proper education is?
Learning how to read so we can fend for ourselves and discover the truth by using what God gave us...Our brains...
Not many people use their brains in a good knowledgeable way...
We need to clamp down on all Illiteracy rates and ensure that all of these upcoming generations are taught proper truthful things in school.

You wrote: "If we keep on blaming religion all the problems of the world will aggravate to its maximum possible. Religion has kept the hopes of man alive through the centuries."

Are you insane?

Religious fundamentalism is the greatest threat to humanity.

Let's take a look at Christianity. First, they wantonly and deliberately destroyed over 1,000 years worth of the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and other advanced civilizations in the area, because it was 'non-biblical'... then they tortured and killed everybody who was capable of independent thought... then they suppressed scholarsip for ANOTHER 1,000 years.

I am fond of saying that if it had not been for Christianity, Christopher Columbus would probably have been embarking on an expedition to the asteroid belt, to set up a mining colony or somehing like that, rather than setting out on a wooden ship to see if he could find a shortcut to the Orient.

It will take us another 600 years, minimum, to get to where we should be RIGHT NOW, had it not been for the gentle mercies of Christianity. Yet, there are Christian fundamentalists who would have us RETURN to the Dark Ages.... look up 'dominionism'.

Islam is STILL in the Dark Ages... and they will remain so, until the experience an 'Enlightenment' and an 'Age of Reason', such as occurred in Europe 400 years ago.

Answer 3

Sin.

Suffering is the result of human sin. The world is not the way that God created it and because of that, all are vulnerable to the affects of sin in the world. Why does one person suffer and another does not? Why do catastrophes happen to some and no others? It is because sin is in the world. But there will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Rev. 21:4).

Answer 4

An insufficient education.

I could just give the blunt reason...

I just believe people are easily mislead without a proper education. That's when people sign up for a suicide bombing, or they believe everything they hear from one news source, or they watch America's Got Talent. This all seems to stem from a lack of education.

Here in America, we seem to value pop culture a lot more than a good education, and because of that we as a country are beginning to fall behind. Granted this isn't a worldwide problem, but moreso an American problem, but an education is something everyone needs anyway. With a good education, anyone can be prosperous.

Answer 5

For Africa - poverty, hunger, diseases.
The rest of the world, Global warming, terrorism, racism, drug abuse.

These can be eradicated by the West stopping financing African despots who in turn through their oppressive policies cause poverty, hunger and diseases to their population.

The rest of the world needs to protect the environment control industrial pollution

Answer 6

in my opinion it is hatred and ignorance...these can lead to War and terrorism, which will eventually leave many people homeless and in major penury, and also claim thousands of precious lives...Peace is almost becoming non-existant because of lack of understanding between the east and the west..Instead of both parties trying to prove that neither of them is bad and that one is better than the other, if they concentrated on understanding each others' cultures, and actually listened to each other on many of these "peace-talks",we could actually focus on other major problems like: Global warming...

Answer 7

How long have we been on this earth? 6000 years? 6 billion years? Have we ever successful solved one of these problems? Two thousand years ago Jesus told one of His disciples the poor will always be around. He was right.

The major problem is we have turn our backs on our Creator. We can't fix that one either. But He will. Soon. Very soon.

Answer 8

Global warming, because it will affect everyone regardless of location, race, religion or socio-economic status, and is very hard to fix. Poverty, war, terrorism and hatred have always been around and always will.

Answer 9

Islamic terrorism

Answer 10

hatred...it already includes racial discrimination...if we will be able to eradicate hatred and replace it with love, then could help each other,thus, we could lessen poverty, no war, no terrorism...we could be "one" to save environment for the future..
