  Would the world be a better place without religion?

  by micheal in

  i understand we all need guidance and some people need hope, even if it is not real.

  but personally, i believe religion has caused so many hideous crimes against humanity that it is something we would all be better off without.. it really is too bad that religion has capitalized on humankind's need for a divine being to only abuse and control its fellow humans.. so, what do you think?

  would we be better of without religion?.

  it can eventually reveal that the minds grasping for the ultimate Truth, will always come up empty. Then, there can be a relaxing, a surrender, a letting go, a silent clarity in which intrinsic wisdom can reveal itself.

  That is an amazing point my friend.

  For such a long time I have been searching, asking, pleading for answers to the most important questions - I have come up completly empty.

  I am starting to give up but never accept that I will never find out, at least in this world, the answers I must know to be happy.

  If your going to be there, you have your options

  1. Walk the halls because you're bored to death

  2. Sleep at your seats

  3. Continue asking yourself why why why do I continue to come to these comatose events and continued to be tortured by the sheer boredom of this crap.

  4. GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE

  It seems very clear that ALL humans have an insatiable hunger to find god, ( or at least why we are here and where are we going ) thus religion.

  Religion has gone as far as it can, it cannot possibly do more than it already has. It cannot stop hunger, it cannot stop wars, it cannot bring eternal happiness. No, only God can do that and without God religion is just another human run organization on this earth.

  So maybe religion isn't to blame as much as God's inactivity.

  I think that religion is the poison arrow in the Achille's heel of our world, slowly but surely bringing the world that we live in to an untimely demise...

  Very true. Nothing divides and causes more hatred than religion

  I understand what you are saying mysterious, but wheather or not there is a god religion is governed by humans and whenever a human governs something so far-reaching as religion there will be corruption. History has shown that this has and will always be the case.

  Thank those who helped you out of the Org

  here's a thread for all of you to thank those who helped you make your way out of the org.

  i'll start.. i'd like to thank my ex-fiance for the support that she had given me when i needed it the most.

  when i was faced with the elders coming to give me a shepharding call, she had given me the encouragement to stand up to them, and tell them truly how i felt.
