No religion is perfect because it is human attempt to be closer to God.\n\nIs romance wrong?  How many people have been murdered in the name of , or as a result of, romance.\n\nMoney has certainly been used for evil.  People have done evil things in the persuit of money.  But not many people are willing to reject money as a result of all the evil that creeps up around it.\n\nThe Bible says,  "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:25-27) \n\nI'm sure there are MANY people whose religion is worthless.  They have allowed themselves to be polluted by the world, especially be the quest for power. This would be the case in ANY religion!\n\nBut does that mean religion is bad, in & of itself?  My father had the country saying.  "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."  In other words, you don't abandon, or dispose of that which is precious just because of some dirt & filth.\n\nReligion is human's attempt at getting closer to God.  And that has to be a good thing.  That may not be your way, but don't fault them for their attempt, usless it becomes twisted for evil.

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. without it good people do good things and evil people do evil things. Only with religion do good people do evil things"\n\nTo do something so vile as to kill another person, because of your faith (a belief based on the absence of proof or inspite of proof to the contrary), is absolutely abhorent.  The issue here is that as long as the person thinks he's doing it 'in gods name' he can rationalize something that is evil in the name of something that is 'good'.

By the time I read all of the answers I realized that my thoughts had pretty much been covered. So kudos to all above me!\n\nBut I do want to emphasize what Snehal has proposed. One world........no religions. I agree with the answer that said that religions have basic similarities but that man has chosen to use their religion inappropriately. Wars have been fought merely over "interpretations." People have died for believing differently. Lives have been controlled because of those reading religion as a misinterpreted call for power. People are told what to think and what not to think and are condemned for differing opinions. \n\nI'm sure right now someone reading this is shaking their head thinking, "She has no clue what she is talking about." If it would stop with that, all would be fine. We are all entitled to have our own opinions. It is when someone will write me slamming me for my beliefs and finding  a way to avenge my thoughts by blasting me somewhere that we realize this is symbolic of our world's problems. It's not just because of religion of course. Religion is the scapegoat. Man can blame his judgements of others on the fact that they belong to "the wrong" religion. If we didn't have religions..........we would all have to face what we really are without the use of the scapegoat. \n\nGod? Well I believe we have a higher order. Does he want religions killing and disagreeing? *cough* Think about what He would write if he answered this question. :)

Religion is not about tolerance (despite much lip service to the contrary), it is about power and control and whenever that is challenged it brings about war. Sad but true!

Someone give this bigot a brain-ectomy, please.  \n\n*sighs*  They're not even remotely evil and theres no solid evidence that the Jews had Christ killed (who was a Jew, btw).  Even if a group of Jews did, how do you hold the entire religion responsible?

You know you have the right god when he hates all the same people you do.\n\nBTW, your quote was excellent.  It's the second thing I've been inspired to "save" from this forum\n\nWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. \n\nSteven Weinberg

It may not be "wrong," but it may be illogical. If you say you believe two religions that both claim to be the only true religion, you can't believe in one without contradicting the other. If you say you believe in both, you are then really saying that neither are true since you deny their claims of exclusive truth.

No. Every religion carrys a "bad egg". So just singling out a religion just doesn't make sense.

Can anyone not understand why we see a direct link between terrorism and Islam?  \n\nCan anyone not see the absurdity of leaders who are also zealots calling for the annihilation of Israel and all Jews?  Can any woman not object to the misogyny that pushes women back to the stone age?  Can any parent not be repulsed by images of little boys and girls blowing themselves up to kill innocents in the name of a religious belief?\n\nName one prominent and popular Muslim cleric / leader who has publicly denounced terrorism and jihad and all it stands for, and who has apologized to the targets of those who carry out this mayhem in the name of Allah. \n\nWhere is the leadership on the side of sanity?\n\nOf course it's wrong to generalize about any race, culture or religion.  I'm Catholic and currently there's a LOT of generalization and bias about priests and sex abuse.  Why?...because it's been happening.  But Catholic leaders everywhere have apologized for the behavior of this minority within their ranks.  \n\nIt's a darned better public position than to whine about stereotyping.

ALL religion causes violence and intolerance of others. Do away with all organized religion, not just Islam.

OK. I'm not really ready to do this but my time is limited this morning and I don't want to make this to long anyway. \nFirst: I AM an agnostic but I don't have a problem with God. My problem is with religion--almost any religion. \nAll the major religions in America are at war with each other. They won't admit it of course but the bible supports them. The bible is a book of war--Jericho is the first name that comes to mind--anyone who has read the bible and not just looked up a certain verse to back up their mood at the moment or whatever they have in mind right then should see that. Throughout history Jews have marched on Muslims, Christians have marched on Muslims, but then Muslims have marched on Jews and Christians. Each one splits into a hundred or a thousand factions and then kill each other. \nI will cut this short now. Read the bible, read whatever religious documents you prefer, then read some history books. With your reading, go back at least as far as the bible does then look around and realize that all the main religions will soon control nuclear weapons. That worries me--it should worry everyone.\nI do realize there are exceptions to all things but I wish we didn't need exceptions to make a better world.\nOh boy--that looks like a rant to me.

Just like anything else in the world, there is good and bad of everything.  There are good and bad blacks, whites, latinos and muslims, etc.\nThere are muslims who disagree with terrorists and the terrorists who claim they are the true muslims.  Who is right?\n\nFor me, there is none other religion than Christianity.  I say that with faith and non apologetically.  You can be as good as you want to, in any religion.  But without Christ, the religion is false.\nChrist is the only way to heaven.  But those are not my words, but the words of Christ Himself.  John 14:6\n\nSo, regardless if a muslim person is peaceful or not, they are still condemned to hell according to the bible.\nAgain, not my words, but the Word of God.

You are right about this being an open forum to discuss all topics without judgement, and you are right to have your own religious beliefs. The only thing I can see is wrong is when there are a few people in general (not directed towards anybody on here) who impose their beliefs on someone else, trying to make them believe in something they don't want to believe in. Unfortunately, that happens a lot. It's one thing to listen and have an open mind, but if someone tries to change me in a way I don't feel comfortable with, then it's crossing the line. But that may be the reason why. I don't agree with bashing of any sort, though. Just be yourself and don't let the bashing bother you. It's your beliefs and if someone doesn't agree with them, it's not your problem or your fault.

I believe that the holy quaran has some good priciples, but some things I can not believe.  I believe that ANY human 'claiming'whether islamic or christian can be a terrorist. There is a bunch of bad apples everywhere you look, just as there are good apples. I have nothing against Muslim, their religion, or the Quran.  I do have a problem with terrorist, whether they claim to be religous or not.

The human race is more responsible for the destruction and rape of the earth than any other.  While the 'religious' are more worried about other religions and being hateful and who's right the being that has given us all life, the earth, and sustained us is being destroyed in a quest for luxuries.  WE are ALL responsible for her and her well being but we would rather be hateful in the name of religion.  Ain't that funny?
