Has Religion Caused More Harm Than Good by Koreslee(m): 10:00am On Jul 13, 2016
Religion has caused more harm than good to me.
Reasons are stated below

1. The leading cause of
death throughout millennia has been a disagreement on
religion. We have had burnings, crusades, extermination, and
now we have jihadist crazies wanting to control the world.
Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to humanity and
will be its' destruction if the situation does not change and
people come to their senses.
2. Religion has its antecedents
in nationalism: the moral, cultural and legal identity of a
people. To that extent it was beneficial, in that it helped to turn
disparate families and tribes with shared language into a solid,
cooperative economic force.
But that happened in the Stone Age. By the late Bronze Age
when the major religions of the world were forming, religion
was a tool for enslavement, oppression, subjugation, and for
mobilising populations to war and conquest.
With few exceptions, religion has been a friend to tyrants and
an enemy to democracy; a friend to propaganda but an enemy
to free intellectual inquiry; a friend to racism, xenophobia,
genocide and slavery, but an enemy to tolerance, diversity and
the dignity of man.
That religion has done charity work, curated documents and
sponsored scholarship and art gains it no more credit than
despots who have done the same. That it has interlaced its
ostentatious benevolence with a driving hunger to assert its
moral supremacy over the mind of man is testimony to its
fundamental and ultimate aims.
Religion is human anxiety made intellectual, moral and social
tyranny, and has done far more harm than good.


I believe in God... I am not an antheist buh to me religion has caused more harm than good..

Jesus Christ was constantly against religion. As a matter of fact, religious people nailed Jesus to the cross.

Jesus was against religion and he started another religion. It's the norm anyway, but as a matter of fact, Jesus is a fiction in our own world. Eusebius and his cronies are the responsible ones for bringing the fictional Jesus alive.

I hope you are smart enough to understand this :

People have used the name of Christ to inveigle people into doing bad things - slavery is one of those things . The same way people have used God's appellation to finagle cash from the innocent Christians , stage fake miracles and even molest women .

Ehe na . That's why they are most active in the Religion section . Check all their profiles wink . They keep thinking about God and conjuring atheistic views and even if they get confuted they remain intransigent about them . In fact they are obsessed with God . Same thing on every social network and in real life , very iconoclastic too .
