Religion: The greatest of evils

Religion is greatest source of hate, death, violence, and destruction that has ever shown itself on mankind. Almost all wars throughout the history of our species have ties to a particular religion or religions. While it is obvious that the worlds religions are nothing more then old myths, and silly superstitious tradition. Its negativity is much greater then just providing ignorance to reality, it is a way to justify horrible actions. There have been so many horrible actions in our history that have been caused by religion (I'm sure no one has a problem thinking of some). Violence from religion is an obvious trend, a trend that continues to this day, and will continue into the future. The only difference is now the fanatics are in a position of obtaining nuclear weapons. There has been a lot of discussion about this, and it is a very serious issue. Believing you have the creator of the universe on your side gives you a lot of confidence in thinking you are right. If enough nukes get launched, it could "launch" this planet into a nuclear winter. Regardless of what a person believes, all people need to realize that violence is never a solution, it only perpetuates more violence and self-destruction. I said it before, I say it again: The most idiotic, if not the most moronic statement we can openly or publicly declare is: "WE MUST RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS." This is pure religious garbage. To begin with, religions do not, cannot, and will not respect other religions, so why should any of us as sick faithfools respect religion? --- Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter# Atheists#
