What i am proposing is this. i would like to see if this thread can stay civilized in a religious DISCUSSION not a debate. A experiment if you will. i want to see if its possible to talk about religion without throwing names around or being disrespectful to all partys from all sides. so. to kick start us off. What do you believe and why?
Im interested to hear what everyones beliefs are
Why don't you?
If He cares about us so much, why does He let us destroy each other? Why is there war, famine, torture and so much hate. I do not except the free will excuse.

Unfortunately for the next couple of thousand years, these texts are blindly followed, millions of people killed in the name of ‘gods’ and even today religion is a dividing force and the cause of many wars.
I do not see any good come from religion at all, if the catholic religion for example was about helping the poor etc, then they themselves would be poor and not one of the richest organisations on the earth and I’m certain that if the Christian ‘god’ were real he would not want that either.

I do wish that all religions would just disappear overnight, for with religion we have no hope of becoming a better species of animal.
I wish we could work towards getting off this rock rather than fighting and killing each other.
Religion is not the key to a better life, rather the opposite.
