How Would You End All Religions on This Planet?

Anyway back to the thread...religion has helped us greatly...in some ways.
And if we did 'try to end it'...the world would be different..and not necessarily better.
Hope would be lost in the eyes of millions of people...and for a few other millions...life would not be worth living for.

I can't help but feel that if religion was wiped off the planet, that we'd find something else to fight and kill each other over. It's just apart of human nature. Would the change from killing ourselves over things that don't exist be a step up if we started killing ourselves over things that do exist?

Southpark did an excellent satire on that very scenario....it will happen. If not for a God, for whatever we put above ourselves and hold sacred.

Right, preach this from the rooftops.
With a satirical cartoon as your only source.
South Park also predicted that New Jersey will take over the United States with hair gel and sleazy outfits. "It's a Jersey thing."
Stop and think about what you're saying... if we have nothing to fight about... we'll fight for the sake of fighting? Anyone who believes that nonsense must be pretty sociopathic. What is so wrong with harmony in humanity?

I would torture and then slaughter all religious people, especially christians. That's my honest answer.
you realize your exact words are predicted in the bible right?? so does that make you condemned?? absolutely.
according to your ignorant self, youll deny everything the bible has to say. even its predictions.
however, in your case. there is no denying it.

Southpark didn't predict anything it merely does comedy, but they're right.
It's animal instinct to have war, humans believe it or not aren't the only species who has them on earth.
Anytime someone holds something above all else and claims it to be sacred that will be something they are willing to die and kill over, I'm honestly amazed how some people lack the slightest common sense.

I would allow people the right to "believe" in whatever they desire. Just as long as they simply respect my beliefs and don't kill me for not believing in their beliefs.
Basically, people have the right to their beliefs as long as they don't force them unto others. The end.
