Answer 1

I feel sad when people do.

some of the harm caused by religion:



* The Crusades.
* The Inquisition.
* Witch trials in Europe and America.
* The Divine right of Kings (valid until killed by another Divinely-appointed King).
* Missionaries destroying/converting smaller, "heathen" religions and cultures.
* Missionaries such as Mother Teresa.
* The demonization of other religions, e.g. Christianity demonizing Pagans ("They're devil-worshippers!"), the Romans demonizing Christians ("They're atheists and cannibals!").
* Persecution of Heretics - e.g. Galileo for daring to suggest that the Earth orbits the Sun.
* Children dying because their parents refused them medical treatment on religious grounds; relying instead on faith-healers and prayer.
* Slavery, supposedly supported by scripture ("Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, just as you would obey Christ.", St.Paul, Ephesians 6:5)
* Holy wars - followers of different faiths (or even the same faith) killing each other in the name of their (benevolent, loving and merciful) gods.
* The destruction of great works of art considered to be pornographic/blasphemous, and the persecution of the artists.
* Censorship (often destructive) of speech, art, books, music, films, poetry, songs and, if possible, thought.
* Persecution/punishment of blasphemers (Salman Rushdie still has a death sentence on him), and blasphemy laws in general.
* The requirement of theism in order to stand for public office or to testify in court.
* Serial killers believing they are doing the work of Satan (or sometimes Jesus).
* Often-fatal exorcisms by priests believing they are destroying the work of Satan.
* People suffering dreadful injury or death in the belief that their faith has made them invulnerable (e.g. people climbing into lion enclosures at zoos, with a Bible as protection).
* Whole societies divided by minor differences in belief or doctrine, often resulting in violence.
* Mass suicides of cult-members following a charismatic leader who believes the world is about to End (most recently, the Heaven's Gate and Solar Temple cults - there will be more as we approach the year 2000).
* The attempted genocide of followers of a particular faith (e.g. the Jewish Holocaust, "ethnic cleansing" in former Yugoslavia).
* Blood sacrifices to appease the Gods, or to ensure a good harvest. (The Aztecs made daily human sacrifices to ensure that the Sun would rise. Or did they? )
* The practice of "female circumcision" (more accurately termed genital mutilation).
* The discouragement of rational, critical thought (resulting in young-earth creationists, for example).
* Uncontrolled population growth caused (or at least helped) by churches prohibiting birth-control and abortion. (You can also add : unwanted pregnancies, ill-fated forced marriages, and pregnant teenagers condemned to a life in mental institutions to avoid embarrassing their families.)
* The spread of sexually transmitted diseases (e.g. AIDS) due to churches prohibiting the use of condoms.
* Believers whipping, impaling, poisoning or crucifying themselves during religious festivals as a demonstration of their faith and piety.
* Suicide bombers taught to believe that martyrs go straight to Paradise.
* The indoctrination of children into the religion of their parents, giving them an arbitrary, life-long belief that is almost entirely dependent on their place of birth.
* Women treated as second-class citizens or even slaves * Pentecostal snake-handlers
* Persecution of homosexuals
* Abuse of power, authority and trust by religious leaders (for financial gain or sexual abuse of followers and even children).
* Minor religions ("cults") stockpiling weapons to defend themselves from the Armies Of Satan (i.e. the police and the government).

Answer 2

Your not the only one that feels this way. I'm still struggling even after God came to me personally almost a year ago. Sometimes I just want to die if that's what it takes to get back to God. But then I think that giving into death is not what God wants from anyone. I believe there are ways out of life without having to die. It's messed-up and hard to prove but I think having to die is not something we have to do. I know God is always there. Sometimes I think she has to be just laughing at some of the things we as humans come up with. Take for instance atheists believing in dark matter. It cannot be detected by any of the human senses, yet it "has" to exist. Doesn't that sound a bit like believing in GOD? LOL funny:) God told me he foresaw what was happening in my life and that he has a plan, so I just have to have Faith. So do you. If you ask God for signs, you will receive them, they will be in some unexpected way. You just have to look. Look, Listen, Learn. To state the obvious - What human knows what it really wants? God knows what we NEED. If we got everything we ever thought about, then Hell would have to come into existence. Maybe it's too late. I hope not. Boy this isn't a very inspiring answer. Just saying what I think. I could be wrong.

Answer 3

I do feel sad. I feel sad that they don't love their creator and they don't recognize that everything they have is because of him. Every morning when they wake up is a gift from God. I feel sorry for people that think "this is it" and nothing after death. What a depressing thought. As they get older and the reality of life being over and done with I hope they begin to contemplate life after death and how critical it is to be right with God before you die. They make fun of Hell. Hell is no laughing matter. We are given the choice - life or death. Choose life.

Answer 4

Yes I do feel sad.
Imagine being in darkness, not even being able
to see your hand in front of your face. Imagine standing on a tiny point of a mountain being afraid
to move for fear you will fall. Imagine your whole
body burning up in a fire that is so painful you wish
for death but it never comes. Imagine hearing groans, screams, cries and realizing they are comming from you. Imagine all the time all of this
is going on that you know now why you are here..
you didn`t believe that Jesus died for your sins and now you are in hell.
That is why I am sad that people do not believe in
a loving creator who knew that people would fall into sin and who from the beginning had a plan to
save them from eternal damnation.

Answer 5

Nope. I came to my senses and stopped believing. Christians are some of the most evil people in the world and if god is so 'loving' then why doesn't he do anything about the state our world is in? Global warming, de-forestation, poverty and hunger, war and disease. and btw, learn to spell.

Answer 6

Yes. Because the more there are that don't believe the whole truth are the worse off all the rest of us are that do believe all of the truth of The Bible.

Answer 7

What is bleved? Wean?

Answer 8

I feel sad that more people are upset over your spelling than are worried about these poor souls. But believe me the day will come when they will all believe.

Answer 9

Yes, I feel very sad when someone tells me they Do NOT believe in God.
Jesus tells us to Pray For them, and If Possible, tell Them ABOUT HIM. If Not, Their Blood will Be On OUR HANDS!! It is OUR Instructions From God TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT JESUS TO ALL.
Amen + + + "Thank You, Jesus" (smile)

Answer 10

I do! Makes me very very sad! Peoples eternal souls are at stake, and they act as if it doesnt even phase them!

Answer 11

I feel sad for people who can't spell for s**t.
