Do you agree that religion is all false?

Question

It causes war and splits countries.

People kill each other over different belifes, what's the point in that ?

Whats your take on it?

Answer 1

Religion? Well I guess I'll let you use that word. However, there is a war stated in Scripture. It is promised and prophecied numerous times to spill over into the real world.
What's the big deal?

Answer 2

No, religion is not false. No doubt people have cause wars and split nations over religious beliefs, but they have also done so over ethnicities, money, greed, and philosophies.

The real problem is that man is by nature a sinner, prone to all sorts of evil, and is in desperate need of being cleansed by the only power that can, the blood of Christ.

Answer 3

It cause moral movements, like the anti-slavery one, and evokes in people the desire to help other, like with the tsunami relief. Now not everyone who was a part of the anti slavery movement or the tsunami relief was religious but a majority were and many did so due to the values taught by their religion. While it has been the cause of wars and killing, property has been bigger by far. I want what's yours and I can take it with this army. Before getting rid of religion you'd better rid of property.
(By the way I choose anti-slavery as my example of a moral movement as most people on will agree that was morally correct while many won't agree with other issues supported by the reliegious today, but we must allow history to decide on how it judges our actions)

Answer 4

your question is not the statement you made about possibly why you don't like religion as a concept.

religion is an excuse, one of many for those atrocities and conflicts between mankind.

sometimes it is the actual reason, sometimes it is an excuse to attack others, gain more land, political power, monopoly money- whatever.

EDIT- however as to your question- yes I do believe it is all false as they by thier very nature must "put the cart before the horse" because the methodology of religion to explain the world is not based upon observation and testing then explanation, it is based upon coming up with an explanation or answer for a question, then trying to make thier facts fit the answer that was created.

Answer 5

I don't know that because religion causes wars (and it does) means that it is "false." It means that the mob mentality has taken over, fearmongering has led people to believe that there is a threat to their religion, and they go to war. It's about individuals more than the religion itself. Some religious leaders are expert at whipping their gullible followers into a frenzy and convincing them that their actions are mandated and condoned by their religion.

Answer 6

Truth is relative. If someone adheres to religion then it is their truth. If someone adheres to the idea that a religion or all religions are false, that is their truth. So again, in my opinion, it's relative to each individual.

I don't think religion causes war. People cause war and often it is from misguided interpretations of their religious doctrine. I have read various doctrines and one common thread I see in all of them is that they teach love, compassion, tolerance and PEACE. If religious folks would cling to those core teachings instead of taking it upon themselves to do their god's work ~ judge, condemn, punish ~ we would have a far more peaceful world.

I chalk it up to human error.

Answer 7

No. Religion has got it right. There was a time when I thought otherwise, but I have been corrected. I do believe, however, that science is all false -- it is utterly mistaken about, well almost everything - mass, relativity, QM, diffusion, ... time. everything. What we have to do now, is connect religion to Science, by accepting that everything comes from God's perfect thought, then science will fall into place, subservient to God of course.

Answer 10

Religions cause Wars -- if you believe in absurdities you can be lead into committing atrocities. There is only one religion that allows freedom to be compassionate.

The one religion that gives its adherents freedom is:

The Church of God the Utterly Indifferent;

which gives thanks to God for his utter lack of interest in humanity, and the freedom it gives his creation.
