  why i can't anymore : sorry for my poor english, but i've tried hard !!

  since the beginning of the time, till the 19th century and more, most of stories and songs for kids, was made to scary them with a moral at the end.

  to me, the bible is one of kind of that type of book (for children we are inside).

  we went out to eat with my daughter and husband tonight and on the way back i counted the churches on the 16 mile streach of road home.

  there were 18 churches that were on this one road.

  can you imagine the money that goes to pay the preachers and buy the buildings?

  this is not a battle I hope

  here are the answers you asked for (and again sorry for my english) : Those statistics come from ESSIE (high college from here, they did it in 1999 to figure out how lucky they are)
  
  My trouble with your point of view is that actually I feel like (monney is not the only trouble) with religion in general ...

  Now you know that people are financing churchs where children get abused (don't tell me it's not true), where weak and faithull people are also abused ...And how many people died because of their religions (before, now and will tomorow ?), how many people suicided (weaks or kamikazes) or gets crazy (even became killers because of religions) so this is not only about 3 billion people who are taking risk everyday because of their religion ... It's not only about your our my neighborwood ... So now how many people do they help ?... give your statititics ... I'd like to know, I may feel better ...

  It's not only about money ... Those who can say BINGO ! are using those who only take advantage to get psychological power on faithfull people (some GOUROU gets master degree in this concern)... And yes some priest/pastor/or whoever are good people of course ... the question is HOW MUCH and what's the results in regard of the troubles it brings to this world ...

  Everybody got the right to give their monney to whoever they want ... I've made my choice in this concern (cause to me, it's not about wasting monney but helping this world to become worse, and I don't want to be involved in this !) We don't need a church to help people ... (an association is enough, don't you think ?)

  to billygoat :

  If you can go to your church without fear to be threatened, tortured or killed, you have a better chance than 3 billion people.

  So now, how many people do they help ... sorry but everything is relative ... it's about billion people here who are suffuring in they're body because of there religion !!!

  population on earth… (figures in 1999)
  if we compare the population to a hundred people in a little town ... this is how it would look like.
  57 Asian
  21 Europeans
  14 Américans (North and et South)
  8 Africans
  52 women
  48 men
  70 Non-white people
  30 white people
  70 non-christians
  30 christians
  89 heterosexuals
  11 homosexuals
  6 would have 59% of the world richness,
  all of them would be from the U.S.A.
  80 would live in a housing of bad quality
  70 would be illiterate
  50 would suffer from malnutrition
  1 would be close to death
  1 would be close to born
  1 would have a college level
  1 would have a computer (maybe 1,5 in 2003)
  

  And now :

  If you wake up this morning with more health than disease, you are luckier than the million people which will not see the next week.
  
  If you never were in danger of a battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the anguish of torture, rage of the hunger, you are better than 500 million people.

  If you can go to your church without fear to be threatened, tortured or killed, you have a better chance than 3 billion people.

  If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on you, a roof on your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of inhabitants on earth.

  If you have money in your bank, in your wallet or in small box, you belonged to the 8% the most privileged world.

  If your parents are still alive and always marry, you are really rare person.

  ... see how lucky a few are ? ... TERRIBLE WORLD

  well, I agree that religion can help some people to get out of trouble, some people even learned to read and write ... in some ways it can be helpfull with or without money (and that's the whole thing !) my or your house could be a church actually (it wouldn't change a thing) ... A church to bring more people in the same place ? ... why ? ... More they are, less they really know each other

  religion brings people to the point that they don't care about that poor people (means those who are in big trouble in this world almost 80 % of more than 6 000 000 000 people actually) are living in this world thinking it is satan fault (or whatever) or that helping those people is God's job ! Some religion even give credit to persecute they're own beleivers (castes). This is the real INSENSITIVITY (understandable but so dammagable)

  Ya to me this is a real waist of money ... A real God would have espected us to give all this money to those 80 % people who are and will still suffer because nobody really cares about them (but what shall we do ? ... building churchs and pray ... see now how helpless and insensitive it is ???) Cause if we don't react ... We are the next once : 80 % today maybe 90 % tomorrow ... Who will care about us ? RELIGIONISTE only because they've got an interest to do it ...

  Oh well ... I've already cried so much on this ... and still
