This is a fallacious statement. Do you really think that if someone stopped believing in a god that such a person would start going about stealing, murdering and despoiling people? Some of the things taught by religion about right and wrong really should not be practiced in this day and age.


There is no doubt whatsoever that religion,true or false has been a major force in peoples lives,embedding that sense of responsibility,judgment and fear of god (deity) or punishment for whatever sin.That knowledge from childhood has helped shape our lives for better in many ways.However,i'd quickly point out that it is equally responsible bad side that comes from extremism but how many people out the 1.2 billion Muslims or over 2 billion christians jump into suicide vests and blow people up? Extremists like Bin Laden or Christian extremists like Mr Bush and their entire clan account for only 0.1% of the over 3.5 billion people that follow the Abrahamic traditions.
Religion has its strong and weak points buts its intention weather true or false is good for mankind.The basic teachings of every religion is peace and love for each other.I have seen people leave conflicts for God to resolve."Leave everything to God" is a common saying in nigeria.
Finally,i think atheists like the hitlers and stalins of our day should be kept in check as free thinking without the concept of God would lead to chaos just as history has thought us.I'm not sure about this but its quite believable that atheists may've been responsible for the atlantic slave trade. tongue What would life be without God?
Religion / Re: Abolish Religion ? by disciplex: 9:02am On Feb 12, 2010
Do we want to? Religion is one of the few things stopping a lot of people making bad choices. If we were to abolish religion all of the life lessons that were taught to us by religion about right and wrong would be lost. I'm not religious but the only thing stopping religious people from hurting over people is their fear of God and going to hell. I'm aware of zealots using religion as an excuse for terrorism but I truely believe it prevents more crime then it causes. Not only that religion can give people hope in a way that nothing else can. It can give people strength and heal people in a way I guess similar to a placebo. Finally isn't a good idea to be just a little bit religious? Just in case? I always feel it's best to keep all options open. Whats gonna happen if God does exist? you guys who want to abolish religion are gonna have red faces.
