Yea Religion Should Be Changed.
The age old custumes IS coming to an end. What has only keeps use from moving forword as an iteligent creture is olmost fisling in the united states. But first maybe we have to change the word world to social strucure. The world is more than man. Has been here befor and maybe long after, ( unless a true tarrorist comes about ( one like the joker who doesn't want anything and doesn't give a f*ck what happenes to himself.) and tells no one of his plans as he works to distroy it. ). And maybe if there wert people who don't understand death. I think that is the only resson that reliogon still excists. If all people saw there brains as a comlex interwoven pulse of energy that just shuts down and nothing is senced anymore maybe people would start to learn from the world around them instead of what they hear. Then we will live as we are truely confortable, in anarcy as the governments desolves and people die in mass amounts. Then we will learn self controle instead of obedence.

it's that simple. Religion itself doesn't necassarily cause harm, it's the people who can't tolerate some one else' beliefs that decide to go out and kill someone 'cause of it.

Hate happens within or between any social arrangements alongside with intolerance. They just don't only happen with religious group as you and I know. But a more precise cause to the problem between religious societies and governments alike, is being uneducated about something, someone and the inability of people to see or focus on the similarities in others besides their differences.

Religion is not the problem. Take it away and then a new scapegoat will have to be prepared. Patriotism is a control tool, people wearing baseball caps are trying ot make us all wear caps!.

The problems in religion stem from one flaw. It is run here on Earth by humans. We are flawed by nature and there is nothing to do abut that. I can show as many churches that do not try to control people as anyone can show that do or have. Bad people are all over and will use what they see fit to get to the goal they are working towards.

Again I say. Let those that choose live their lives with their faith being a major part are no better or worse that those that do not. All sides of the issue need to take their ball and go home. Saying that God needs to be abolished is just as stupid as saying everyone needs to believe. Calling someone names because of their faith or lack of is so far below the level of intelligence of a forum like this it actually gives me a headache.

Have there been bad people that were powerful in a religious organization? Sure, Were they actually a person of faith? Of course not. No one can be true to a faith and use that faith to a personal gain. I can't think of a faith that tells people to go out and destroy others so you cna gain money or power. If there is one. i would not want to be a part of it. I would say most "good people" would not.

I agree with you, then again religion has been here almost since the time of man and we're surviving. Some people NEED a book to tell them not to kill and steal. I'm not so certain that if religion just disappeared we'd be better off. We'd probably have more problems with the lack of some religious institution to tell people how they should live.

religion is an integral part of being human there will never be a human civilization without it. if you were to erase all of it today by tomorrow some1 will have made up a new one

I disagree.

I don't believe human society is so fundamentally ignorant.

This is like saying we couldn't have civilization society without superstition.

I believe religion will take its true form. we will beleive and evolve around 2012

religion is good in its purist form. has religion ever been at its purist form? it's a good foundation for something magical and miraculous. i believe that humanity needs something to believe in, what it is i don't know. "peace be with you"...is a good start. then it goes completely down hill after that.

p.s. jesus was a pothead

It’s a human right to believe anything you like. I have thought the same thing before. I’m not religious one bit but without religion in the world I think it would be a little worse than what it is now.

I do think that religion should be taken out of any politics full stop as its the religious leaders of the world that cause the biggest problems more than anything else IMO but I think it’s part of every human being on this planet to have some kind of spiritual faith whether it be Christ or Aliens just don’t let it be an ingredient to how the human race should be governed and evolve.

We should ban all arms from pistols to nukes all the rulers of the world get together and discuss the process of uniting under a planetary banner and spending all the resources that would have gone into war into a new step towards colonizing and exploring space and finding other intelligent life.

It is time that we all focused on becoming what we are truly destined to be.
