    Any person of significant intelligence would have to agree that organized religion must end for us to progress. You honestly believe there is some being out there that watches us?
    God could just be some advanced race that we see as godlike but they are not gods.
    How can you believe that praying gets results. Its the same as santa claus. Bibles have been edited like 1000 times by whoever wants it to say what they want. Its crazy to not have sex with women. priests are disturbed.
    Lets forget religion, do what is the right thing, and progress as a species.

    Yeah, let people who live differently than you be. Even if you don't understand them.

    Religion is not the problem, the failure of humanity to realize the folly of war and murder is the problem.

    Religion can be the problem, if the holy book urges death to infidels and war on all unbelievers.

    In such a case, religion is a symptom, not the underlying problem.

    Indeed, it still are the people who choose to take it that seriously to actually do it who are the problem. By the way, there are still alot followers of organized religions who don't cause any problem.

    What difference does it make if they have head problems, but are no threat.

    probability...

    they contribute to a group that do something for a reason, even if the reason is nothing more than a different brain pattern....

    It makes no sense to me to say a particular religion is okay as long as its own followers don't take it seriously.

    Most religions have very negative things to say about followers of other religions. This is going to be an ongoing source of friction between religious groups.

    I don't get that. Sounds like a rationalization to me. You don't think it's a problem if a holy book urges killing non-believers?

    Uhm, I wasn't talking about their religion as a whole, but about a line in their holy book like the given example here when it urges death to infidels and war on all unbelievers.

    I think urging killing of humans through any medium, under any guise, is absolutely insane.

    But that insanity doesn't come from religion, it comes from humanity.

    Religion provides an easy excuse, but if there was no religion, warmongers would quickly find other excuses.
