As with any major institution or corporation it almost always leads to some sort of corruption, whether it be religion or science. I think science could be indicted in the same way, as it has created nuclear bombs and has caused damage to the environment.

I couldn't disagree more about religion being the cause of evil, murder, etc. Human nature 101; The scum bags will always invade that which can be manipulated for money and power. You have low life cops who become cops just so they can abuse the power. Is law enforcement bad? No, the abuse and manipulation of law enforcement is bad. That is just one example. First of all every 'Bad' religious incident from history such as the crusades was an example of religious people doing what their religion tells them NOT to do! You're not supposed to kill innocent people, priests are not supposed to rape boys according to Christianity. It's when people do what their religion tells then NOT to do that infuriates people, i'm with you on that. But what sense does it make to focus your blame on the religion that they ignored and violated? My other reason that I totally disagree with the 'religion causes evil' arguement is because it is a one sided arguement, it only views the negatives. How about people who were assholes their whole life but then they found God and did a total 180? What about ex-cons who turn themselve around because of God? Or what about just your average person who has restrained him or herself from doing evil a thousand times because they have a 'God is watching' conscious? I mean really, how many people do you know of who have killed in the name of God? Some but not many. Now compare that to how many people who have killed because they don't believe their are any consequences in life if you don't get caught? I'm not saying an athiest is more inclined to kill but I am saying that religion has restrained people from killing many times. The thing is that even though religion restrains a lot of people from doing evil you'll never read that in the paper or in history books. The 'Bad News' about religion will always make the papers. Yes wars are started over religion. But wars will always be started because 'My view opposes your view.' If it ain't religion it's money, or land, or oil, etc. America never went to war over the Bible but we still found ways to get into them. It's just that religious wars so happen to be between very religious countries. If they were secular they'd be warring over something else trust that

I do agree that organized religion has done more harm than good.

However, it isn't the actual religions that cause it. It's the people who claim they follow a certain religion and yet they do bad things that the religion itself does not teach.

In one way or another, all religions, whether Christianity, Islam or Hinduism (whatever it may be), they all teach peace and other ethical teachings. No one religion tells people to kill one another, or whatever it may be.

http://www.rfpusa.org/

If you take a look at this site, on the bottom, you can look through each religion, and it shows you how each of them has peaceful teachings.

I'm talking especially about Islam, which nowadays people feel is a dangerous and disastrous religion after 9/11. True Muslims don't bomb one another. It is those who feel, in the name of their religion, should destroy others, particularly the West. In fact, the word "Islam" is derived from an Arabic word meaning "Peace."

If an organized religion preaches peace and tells its congregation to go out and help the poor, then religion is doing good.

organized religion refers to a group of people who follow, practice and preach a common religion and lay down some morals and ethics for themselves and also in a way do good for society as well.

Religion provided a sort of moral compass, a code by which people could live, by which actions could be judged as good or bad. As human society came of age - escaping from the jungles and caves of our ancestors - there was a need to control the reptilian, animal brain, the tendency of "every man for himself," the law of the jungle. I do believe religions provided some of that discipline and a moral imperative.There is the ten commandment, the koran, laws of manu, etc. These are edicts of different religions, meant to prevent chaos, murder, mayhem.

Second, some religions, like Sikhism, came up in response to great oppression and cruelty. Sikh religion was formed to defend people from the atrocities of mughal rulers.

it doesn't matter to which God you are praying but how about we look at this way, that He becomes a Saviour of soul for many who pray to him everyday, on whom many people's life depend, in a way it also gives us the meaning of our being in the world. People need something to lean upon, a reason for being, some place of comfort and solace. Religion provides that a majority of people. While it's not real medicine, it serves the purpose of a placebo. And we all know that placebos work as well as the real thing. So, if religion does help even ONE person in leading a better and happier life, it has served it's purpose.

While destroying countless others in the process?

The idea that a depraved book of primitive savagery for the deluded should serve as some sort of moral compass is a tired idea that belongs in the dark ages.

Morality is just another part of evolution. Behaviours that are considered "moral" have been adopted simply because they are beneficial for survival.

There is the ten commandment, the koran, laws of manu, etc. These are edicts of different religions, meant to prevent chaos, murder, mayhem.

If you take the Bible for example, you can clearly see that morality exists in spite of it, not because of it.

If we were to look to the Bible for moral guidance, we'd be forbidding women to speak (the Bible says they are to remain silent and are not to teach, or have authority over any man), killing our children for being disobedient, stoning our daughters to death for losing their virginity, forcing them to marry men who rape them and sending them out to be gang raped by angry mobs to protect our male dinner guests; not to mention keeping slaves and beating them to death (condoned in the Bible so long as they don't die right away) and "dashing babies to death on rocks" because they happen to be the children of our enemies.

Does this really sound to you like a book to be consulted by anyone in search of morality?

Also the main character in this novel decides on an act of horribly gruesome phillicide or suicide to apparently free the people of the burden of sin which he created in the first place. As if the excruciating pain of one poor soul is meant to do anything but show that corporal punishment is the right way to go, who is he trying to impress with this move? it must be himself, I don't imagine anyone (sane) that would find the crucification of an innocent man to be impressive. We are to believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent which means he knows all and is all powerful so why did he start this shit train in the first place, he set in motion the process by which he would be killed by the very people he created and put in the center of his universe.

I know this is straying from the topic a bit so I would like to add that organized religion does give hope to people but at the price of their humanity.

You are straight up bitter towards religion. It's absolutely ridiculous to not see the point of the poster. For the love of God give credit where credit is due. "Destroyed countless others" What are you talking about the crusades or something? Religion haters can't get off that subject, the guy is talking about how it's an absolute FACT that religion helps millions relieve stress, feel good, act better, etc. And you come back at him with a speech about the countless others slain in the religions wars of the dark ages lol. It's real simple, religion is good when it is used properly. And like EVERYTHING else in life religion is a total scam that harms people when it's corrupted by scum bags who want to use people. Religion is dear to people, you better believe the snakes will use that to their advantage. But that's true for everything. Religion that hasn't been corrupted is a good thing religion that has been corrupted sucks!

Anyone who puts himself between you and the claimed; most great and unfathamable power in the world, is obviously a con man.

Imagine a mouse telling another mouse that he represented the sun and the other mouse should give him a tenth (or a tax subsidy, whatever) so the paying/swindled mouse can learn how to surrender to the heat of the sun in the right way.

Con´s usually hurt people but there are arguably exceptions, such as maybe Santa Claus (although he gets some complaints for being the deity of consumerism)

State, by why you mean politics and government, is not a religion. I think you mean zealous devotion.

Of course it has. I can't imagine how many millions of people have suffered at the hands of those who have committed crimes in the name of this or that god.

I will wait for the typical responses from religious apologists before saying anything else.

If you can’t imagine how many millions of people have suffered because of ecclesiastical religion, then it stands to reason you cannot also imagine the millions of people who have benefitted because of that religion. Consequently you have disqualified yourself from this debate because you cannot quantify either side of the comparison of this debate, let alone the basic requirement of quantifying both sides.

Furthermore, there is no factual data available for either side of this question; it is merely an exercise in bull-shitting one’s opinion under a transparent veil of falsely assumed evidence.

BTW, welcome to CD. Perhaps we’ll engage in a debate.

He wasn't saying that he had no idea. He was saying that the amount of people harmed by organised religion is immense, uncountable.

Furthermore, there is no factual data available for either side of this question; it is merely an exercise in bull-shitting one’s opinion under a transparent veil of falsely assumed evidence.

Of course there is. For example, Hitler's extermination of the Jews is a measured affect of the consequences of exploiting the Europeans' hatred of and distrust of Jews that has existed for generations, and was instilled by organised religion.

A contemporary example is the religious export machine that is Saudi Arabia, a country with an oil industry that dwarfs some of our wealthiest corporations, and the fact that they are using that wealth to fund mosques and activists in the west so that Wahhabism can grow in a culture that doesn't accept its backwards ideals of Sharia and misogyny.

Then there's the Catholic church and the recent scandal being allowed to come to light in which it actively helped cover up child molestations. This being only a tiny pip of the evil that the church has been behind, forgetting the rampant misinformation it teaches to poor, undereducated African nations, specifically that condoms are sinful and won't prevent the spread of HIV. Then we must remember that the church has been actively against the enlightenment, that it persecuted intellectuals throughout the middle ages, that it would burn people for heresy, sold indulgences to people, and had its fingers in all of Europe's governments for centuries.

How about modern day Evangelism and the Born-again movement that has married in with Creationism and Christian Reconstructionism in a campaign to undermine the scientific method and replace it with a mythology that holds the earth to be 6000 years old, among other ridiculous bits of dogma. So well-financed and loud is this movement that the general American population thinks that there is no scientific consensus about evolution, it thinks that there is a controversy, and so forth. In other words, this movement besides scamming people out of money for useless merchandise, has made the public a whole lot dumber and easier to manipulate.

These are just some of the little things that are bad about organised religion. I could go on for days about sectarian violence, about massacres against Protestants by Catholics and vice versa, but I don't have the time or the space.

well, so because something, in theory, created to help people, is allowed to do immense harm, as stated several times below, as long as it also helps people. This metaphor is probably quite flawed, but it's good enough for me: If you would think about setting a village on fire, because fire warms the cold people on the street, even though countless people might burn in their homes, would you do it. The fire helped people from dying from the cold, but also burned people to death in the process, so would it not be a better idea to set controlled fires (like campfires) or to build shelters, if the purpose of the idea is to help people and to prevent harm.

hummmmmmmmmmmm the crusades that killed hundreds of thousands if not millions. the conquering of Africa and attempted conquering if Europe by Islam........killed millions and the converting of the Americas by Spain killed millions more. all sounds very very nice and there are many many more examples through history. more people have been killed in the name of god than in the name of greed or power combined.

So to sum this up, you're suggesting that by believing in an over-bearing, omnipotent presence who will relegate BILLIONS of people to pain and suffering to a degree beyond human comprehension, and maintain that level of pain and suffering for all eternity - and by claiming you hold love for this entity of such massive discompassion, hate, torture, and willful sadism, that you have become a better person?
