Continue here TT. Thread just for you.

those archaic religions are condemned to oblivion, let's save our breath...

Religions are parasites, especially the monotheistic ones, we don't need them to develop some spirituality, provided you're not completely alienated by the world around, it will happen naturally.......

Some people just need to believe on something. Something higher to explain things in their lives or to live life better. Sometimes, religion solutions are nicer then sciences ones. But then like I said, for me it depends a bit on what kind of religion you follow. If it's a religion who makes strict boundaries, it;s something which shouldn't be in my opinion. But when it's a religion who helps you through life easier and "better', then I don't have any problems with it.. No matter what kind of religion it is.

It depends on how you explain the rules and what rules the religion makes. If you take, for example, the Bible or the Koran. Every religious person who sees it as the holy book explains it different. So it's up to yourself if you make it in something good or something bad. You don't have to believe in it the way your priest of whatever tells you to. If you look at the Koran for the Islam. Some people think they need to blow themselves up in name of the book and life to very strict and, especially for female, hard rules. But other Muslims do it different. They life in piece with their neighbor, although that person can have a different religion. They don't hit their wifes and just life in piece. But still believe in the Koran.

So if religions are a parasite or not, is just the way people tend to believe in it.

I meant religions are parasites by nature, regardless of any interpretation you can make of them... and telling airy-fairy stories to people is not helping them,
monotheistic religions are ready-to-believe stuff for the mass.

Many people need to find a higher meaning to their lives mainly because they got crappy unsatisfying chaotic lives they can't enjoy,
the only meaning of life is probably just to fully live/enjoy it.

Humans of this age are simplistic creatures you really don't need lots of time to go throught, that's why so many are manipulated and exploited
from the flesh to the soul.

Most people who have crappy, chaotic lives need to live that. Thanks to the need nowadays to have a job, no matter how shitty it gets.
Holland is supposed to be a rich and wealthy country with chances for everyone. But here are so many people who need to work 24/7, because otherwise they can't make a living. And even with this 24/7 jobs, they have barely enough to maintain themselves. Some of those people still live beneath the poverty level.

So that especially those people need a higher meaning to their live is understandable for me.

In some cases you're right though. Those people just need to get more out of their lives and enjoy the benefits of it better, instead of putting all their energy into doing what some man in a dress tells them. Although that's not my decision to make for them..

Humanity = Shit

Look at the shithole called Earth we live on. Crazy ass fuckers killing one another, babies and shit. Are these religions and Gods to be blamed? Fuck no, all of us are. No matter how good a person is every single person has done something "evil".

There are so many religions and so many different views, which one is to be followed? I do not believe in Atheism. Most Atheists are opinionated assholes anyways. Question is who made us and someone has to be watching us. I don't throw my self into believing all this Big Bang horseshit. If you do well that is your opinion. I love the Buddhist lifestyle just because they try to keep peace.

Every religion, I don't care if it is Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, whatever they all have their extremists and do things and their God's names. They are to be blamed not their "higher" powers. US humans are to be blamed.

I do believe in Christianity. Didn't when I was younger but I have come to terms with alot. It makes sense to me. I don't care if you don't agree with me but dare not disrespect me or again that is an "evil" thing to do.

I believe in no Religion. I believe in a higher power but follow no "system" I do agree that humans use too many excuses or do evil in their God's names. It is a way to not feel any guilt. Humans are to be blamed for corruption and extremists who takes the Religions too far. The world is too chaotic and Religions are becoming less and less especially Christianity. People are starting to fend for themselves and worship themselves. I can't even stand to watch the fucking news too much fucking chaos and drama.

Each time we do "evil" things, we poison the world and humanity... living in this hell we made is the only and ultimate punishment of us all... light comes from above just like innocence children bathe in.

When misery, suffering and poverty are overwhelming, people just can't think properly... and today, for a majority of people, it's just about surviving... religions makes a business of human's misery, just vultures eating the wounded ones...

Survival is definitely number one because of todays world. Religion has nothing to do with anything. What gets me is the majority of todays world blames Religion, movies, video games, etc for the violence going on when that is not true at all. I play violent games all the time and not once thought of going out and shooting up people. It is called parental control people.

People take shit upon themselves and if they are going to be oblivious and weak and believe lies than they deserve what they get. Grow some balls men and women carry pepper spray or slap someone in the head with a Bible.

I have no problem with Religions as I said before. Someone can walk to my door asking if I am saved or know Jesus and I will be polite and take time to listen instead of slamming the door in their face. It is my choice to believe or not like it is everyone's choice to murder, rape, do things in a God's name, etc.

Every human is weak.

...and then you will tell me we are all equal and got the same chances in life...

Religions and violence are well-known to fuck up your mind, but maybe you're simply not aware of that.

I'm sorry, but, reality is much more complex and terrifying.

I agree.

that's why we are crammed with lies since our very childhood... but if only there were just lies... changing the personality of people for the worst and wasting their potential calling it the proper and sociable way, and you just have to feel like shit for the rest of your life...

Religion is the root of all evil.

^ True. And a great overview from what everybody's saying here (in my opinion)

ask better why people need those fucking religions, and then you will end up thinking human nature is the root of all evil.....
