No. Always be prepared to plant the seed of reason. It will not always find a fertile spot in the swamps of dogma, but when it does you may see the blooming of a great thinker, a scientist, a philosopher. If nothing else, you will have made it possible for someone to value humanity on its own terms.

None!! \n\nReligion is dead \nChristianity isn't a religion it's a relationship with Jesus our saviour. Religion as stated b4 in another question. Right or wrong isn't defined by us humans it's defined by God. Think about it \nIf we got to decide everything morally ourselves. look at other countries who do that who have never heard of Jesus, They die!!!\n\nMost commonly cause they were never introduced to ideas like marriage. \nWhat would America do without marriage. people sleep around with no responsibility. \nPeople wonder why we have aids epidemic  it's because of lack of morals about sex\n\nif we follow Gods commands we live. The bible teaches these things and it brings LIFE!! God's word is LIFE. \n\nReligion is dead relationship is what we need \n\nChristians aren't part of a religion They are those in relationship with christ Jesus.

no. yes. Originally, the religions allowed us to have civilization.\nWithout them, we would still be living in tribal or feudal warfare states. However, they have become sick and abused paradigms,\nand we should junk the whole lot of them in favor of modern sociology and civil engineering and ethics and psychology.

Hello brother (see my icon)!\n\nAgree for the most part.  Except for maybe the Dalai Lama.\n\nLaypeople especially.  The more that they seek the truth and comfort in the teachings (that should be dogma) the further they really are from knowing "god" or the source.\n\nKeep the unfaith brother!

Dogma is not exclusive to religion.

I think you've opened a *huge* can of worms here! But never being one to avoid discussion, I'll dive in......\n\nI agree.\nI think that religion was a device created by early mankind to explain the unexplainable, to create some social order and it was exploited by some people who had various socio-political agendas. \nI'm not denying that many, many people find their religion a source of comfort and I would not deny them their faith. I feel that religion has evolved with time, although some of the dogma has remained in the past.\nI'm sure lots will disagree, but that's just my own tuppenth worth.

I think religion often hurts humanity. If people took the core message of "treating others the way they would like to be treated" and got away from the "us vs. them" mentality the world would be a much better place...\nAs for the second part of your question, I believe the moment you go a notch above BASIC Catholicism (Born Again), Judaism (Orthodox- Ultra or Modern) or Islam (fundamental) I'd say you're flirting with fanaticism....

religion is a man made way of controlling the masses and god, in any format, was invented by man not the other way around so there will be no punishment for disbelieving

I'm guessing since we'll know a lot more about where we came from and about the world and science by then, so religion will be much more like buddhism now. It will be more focused around finding inner peace, and truth, and finding happiness within yourself. It will still preach morality like it does today, but I'm guessing that that would be more of the emphasis not really on the Bible or any holy book.

That takes a two part answer, Yes it has, and no it will never change as long as we have religion to deal with.

You have a good point there, in fact lets get rid of anything which maybe deemed as religious and that would stop all fighting as well as crulty in the world. Only trouble then, we would all have to live together happily. Good question, it would be great if the so called leaders of the churches and the worlds countrys take few minutes to think over this one.

Yes, many people here follow their beliefs dogmatically, in spite of evidence countering their belief. For example, many people here will not accept evolution in spite of so much incontevertible evidence that it is true.\n\nInstead, they cling dogmatically to a story in the bible
