What if everyone just lived in their happy little religion bubble and didn't try to change anyone else? Would that be alright, or would we still need to get rid of religion?

I think that'd be fine. I don't care what others' beliefs are until they try to impose on me.

It would not be alright because religion asks you to not value the "things of this world" and to not partake of earthly pleasures...well what other kinds of pleasures are there? Religion is evil in that it makes a person reject reality and substitute it with a fantasy that teaches ppl that if they behave in this life then they'll will go to a magic place where each person will live in a mansion and walk on streets of gold...really? Come on wake up, this is the only life we have enjoy it.

Religions like Christianity are actually not non violent in any respect; they seem to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. the reality that anybody could desire to push any non secular ideology on their toddler or every person else is dumb. each and every physique thinks that being an element to a faith is not any huge deal, and it is a healthful element. I conform to setup some morals and standards of habit. what's powerful is to unfold out love, unfold out that beneficial power. yet to have your toddler pass to a non secular college; you are able to doubtlessly f*ck up their programming up so badly. yet no person is objective adequate to work out that. human beings basically wanna have solid youngsters and keep on the family members custom that their family members had. What they could desire to do is instruct the numerous principals of each and every significant faith (or some thing like that) and not say the two one in each and every of them is the respond, there is basically too many. You gotta ask your self: the place did all of those religions come from? we don't be attentive to. i assume they got here from some clever those that have been given via diverse conflict, and that they discovered the thank you to stay existence, and that they wrote it down, and a few of it is clever even at present. yet while the e book you base each and every thing on includes: treating women persons as 2d type voters, condoning slavery, homicide, an indignant god that punishes human beings with the aid of dying and makes them burn in a fiery vengeance pit; you're enforcing all of this bullshit, and we nevertheless settle for it in 2012? while are we gonna get previous this maximum suitable bigotry and stupidity? tell me your reports, tell me what got here approximately, throw it in a pile and enable's form this out. you are able to't tell me it incredibly is the only way, you are the chosen human beings; basically stop! it is so loopy! while human beings pretend they have the respond, it ruins everybody else searching for the respond; because of the fact there is an selection to not even think of: there is an option to assert: screw the quest for the reality; enable's keep on with anyplace those douchebags are going. the way I see it, faith is a predetermined trend of habit that simplifies your existence and encourages you to not question something (exceedingly the religion you take place to have self belief in). Humanity devoid of religion is a serial killer and not utilising a chainsaw.

Unfortunately, people think that everyone else should be forced to live within the same religion bubble of their choosing as well.
Religion can be good for people, but it can also be bad. Religions often are ways to make people feel miserable, gulity, and ashamed of themselves for reasons that they shouldn't. It's often used against women to give them a lesser, second class status.

Religion doesn't cause violence. The bloodiest people in history are atheists. Atheistic communism alone has killed 150 million people in a single century.
Fanaticism causes violence and it can infect any belief system.
Getting rid of religion would put us at the mercy of people with no morals.

When religion purports to offer a complete answer to problems of purpose, morality, origins or science, it often discourages exploration of those areas by suppressing curiosity, denies its followers a broader perspective, and can prevent social, moral and scientific progress.
Many people believe they have a religious duty to take "control of a sinful secular society", either by putting fundamentalists in office, or by forcing "holy" law into the secular sphere.

You know people are offended even by appearences in without words. It is not the religions that cause the problem it is the people.

Nothing--but people just can't leave each other alone. Everyone seems to think they have the right to tell other people how to believe (or not believe) and live.

Violence resides in humanity - doesn't need a reason.
