Makes people feel good, and provides a sense of community. Unfortunately, it also rots logical thinking.

Religion tries to give a set of values to live by. We despise each other because of ignorance. If people did really follow what their religions were saying then there would not be a problem since none of them want us to hate. It is people who either interpret it the wrong way or are so wrapped up in their religion who cause problems.

religion did serve a purpose once upon a time, when man did not understand anything about the natural world and attributed bewildering natural phenomena to some god or gods acting on the world around them. now that we have 'evolved' past those ancient notions, we no longer need to explain these things by invoking some supernatural power. that is, those of us who have been paying attention...

I dont really believe in "religion" I hate things being titled. I believe in being spiritual and having my beliefs. I guess I am considers "christian" I believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe in being saved. I dont despise anyone, nothing gives me the right to judge another person.

If you followed the Chistian teachings then we would all be loving one another and despising nobody.

There's no good religion. Jesus Is The Only Way. The Word of God Is. Religious people are tied to "acts and traditions" and those who are in God through Jesus (including me) are tied to His Words and are commited to change because they are obedient and guided by God's Holy Spirit. Real Christians are moved to change and to grow in love, mercy, respect, attitude among other things / we are moved to please God.

Very little. I even reject Douglas Adams - virtual god. The concept of god adds nothing to the world. Take all supernatural and superstition out and the world runs so much better.
