Ain't that the truth.

Religion is the greatest source of evil in the world today.

What is interesting about it? Pinpointing a small contingency on one side of the political aisle and attempting to characterize the entire party in the same ilk?
Would you like to play that game? Do you have any idea how I could work this angle?
Check mate.
Howsabout you introduce a practical idea that doesn't exploit a small political subgroup?
Phil, when Jesus was asked if He was the Messiah, he did affirm it.
A lot of evil is done in the name of religion. A lot of evil is done without it. Look at Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and of course Hitler. It is within the heart of every human to do evil. Doing good is a choice we all have to make within ourselves.
19 out of 20 posts attacking the conservative side of the aisle gets to be a little much.Way to overreact, buddy.![]()

No offense.:smile:
According to the Bible the priests of Judaism religion asked Jesus if he was the Son of God and he says yes . He was condemmed to death because blasphemy . Just in case I don't believe in the Bible but just saying .No hootie- he did not.
He was asked exactly twice... Both times he replied that he was the son of man.
Period.
If your bible says different... then its been re-written... look at an original Catholic version... the guys who published the thing.
Those who want to defend a delusion always trot out the despots...
But its a lie.
In fact, Hitler was catholic. and the Pope NEVER denounced him, nor excommunicated him for the anti-jewish actions he took leading up to the war... he relocated them, took their property, ans exhorted the German people to violanece agasint them... and that was just fine with the pope.
Hitler's hatred of the jews was BORN in Christian preaching and christian anti-semitism.
And Christian Europe turned a blind eye to his "final solution" right up till the day Eisenhower liberated the death camps.
As to Mao and Stalin... the biggest mistake made by folks indicting them for being godless is that totalitarianism is NOT godless... IT simply replaces the image of God with the image of the despot.
Look around Maoist China or Stalinist Russia and you will see statuary, pictures and altars... all set up to the glorification of the supreme leader....
Despots co-opt people's natural tendency to want an all powerful daddy figure to make themselves the daddy.
They eschew "other religions" because they don't want any other gods before them.
So, sorry... fanatical dogma is the hallmark of religion-
And control of the masses is it aim.
Only religion can defend the killing of abortion doctors and the flying of planes into buildings.
Only religion can incite a people to kill their neighbors as in Rwanda and Bosnia.
Certainly... you can be evil and NOT be religious.
But truly evil people are rare.
Why religion is worse is because only religion can get otherwise good people to do evil.
Only religion can convince good people that murdering people is God's work.
The jews were nearly annihilated BECAUSE they were Jews... no other reason.
Osama Attacked America BECAUSE we are infidels... no other reason.
And those fucks who tied a gay man to a barbed wire fence had heard in church that God said homosexuality was an abomination punishable by death.
There is NO morality in Church... no goodness in the bible.
Jesus won't really teach you to treat other people with compassion...
'Cause jesus says that only Christians really count.
