Hey guys,

Religion (a belief in imaginary all powerful supernatural deities) has been the cause of more death and suffering than any one disease ever to inflict the human race. Wouldn't it be nice if we could start working on a cure for that.



I don't think so, religion has a humbling effect. Since you have a higher being to rule over you, it puts perspective on what you will do and what you would say. Also, it helps yoj set your goals and ultimately give you a certain purpose. Now i know through out history, religion was used as a tool to conquer nation and kill of cultures and people. But we should really think about it, religion didn't kill and hurt all those people. It's the people who actually twists their religion's peaceful message to further their goals
