But people are the reason we have everything. And I'm not saying all of them are bad, it's just that we created mostly everything, good and bad.

I've found religion to be the root of almost every problem in the world.
oh yea, that too. I wish religion did not exist.

Atheism. harashawnWhy would you wish for something like that? I'm an Atheist, I have no control in what I believe in or not just like you.

I can assure you religion in my life has never once caused any problems what so ever. :P
Not in your life, but in the grand scheme of things, religion is the main creator of war and hate.

You shouldn't condem everyone just because of a few bad people, we're not all parasites.If only we caused half the War, Hate, Pain, and Sadness that the Big Religions have Caused...W1ckedGo0seAn excuse for war is not always the cause of it.
Why would you wish for something like that? I'm an Atheist, I have no control in what I believe in or not just like you.MushroomWigHow many people said "religion" in this thread, and people agreed with them? I don't hate atheists; I just hate atheism.

People are...not religion. People are the ones to make these horrible choices.

But then you wouldn't be here. and nothing would matter. how could you care about 'earth' more than humanity. in the grand scheme of things the universe doesn't care if we're here wrecking this meaningless little planet. the human race is the best thing this planet has to offer-conciousness is rare.If only we caused half the War, Hate, Pain, and Sadness that the Big Religions have Caused...[QUOTE="W1ckedGo0se"][QUOTE="harashawn"] Atheism.

Here's something I've come to realise here.
OT: Where atheist denounce religion because they can't or rather aren't brave enough do so in real life.

But still. People hate each other, people cause war, people kill, people hate, people fight, people hurt. Those are all things people created. People destroy trees so we could have a place to live, or use for firefood. We all use the Earth for something, and most of it is in a bad way.

If I werent' here, I wouldn't be having this discuss with you on why I put people, and you wouldn't care. I care more about humanity, but I was just saying if people weren't here, nothing would be as worse as it is now. And it's not just the best, it's also the worst.

You don't seem to have a problem with the people saying religion though.
I actually do, people have the right to believe whatever they want to. It's unfair to wish for something that has real meaning for people.[QUOTE="Espada12"][QUOTE="W1ckedGo0se"] If only we caused half the War, Hate, Pain, and Sadness that the Big Religions have Caused...W1ckedGo0se

Don't worry you guys have.... There is just to many bad Leaders of Religion that use it with there Greed to do what ever they like...This is not justification - I'm religious (very much so). It does not mean I agree with these leaders of religion. Religion does a lot of good in the world also. Would you be willing to get rid of all the goodreligion does as well??? Why not just say ' I would want all the bad to go away?? Religion itself is not bad - Choices people and leaders make are.

maybe thats because atheism is harmless
anyway, this bickering is kinda stupid. Outside of crazy muslims, religion isnt the destructive force it used to be. I think it does more good than bad

No it's not, if you don't believe in an after life you try to live your life to attain as much as you can, atheism promotes greed.

I feel as though you can't have one without the other. I want all religion, including atheism to be gone from this Earth.

But still. People hate each other people love, people cause war we also form peaceful agreements and charities, people kill people cure diseases, heal the sick, people hate we love, people fight people laugh and enjoy eachother's company, people hurt people heal. Those are all things people created Indeed, all things we created, proud of it all. People destroy trees so we could have a place to live, or use for firefood trees grow anew, circle of life. We all use the Earth for something, and most of it is in a bad way I wouldnt say that; there are issues we need to clear up, but just look around...the majority of people live in harmony with nature, at least outside of big cities.
If you want to look at the bad, thats fine. But be fair, be balanced; look at the good, too.
Remember the Cold War and how the Soviets were planning on invading Eastern Europe? There's a reason why they didn't...because they knew for a fact that NATO would retaliate with nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons aren't bad, yes they're designed to kill millions of people but there is a reason why only two have ever been used before, because leaders aren't stupid enough to start something that may end up causing their destruction. Hense why one of the missiles is named "The Peacekeeper".Nuclear Weapons

Other then the fact that places with low Religion like Japan (80% Atheist) have the lowest crime rates and America is the Opposite... Highest Religion and the highest Crime rate... If I can Find the site with the study I'll post it... sorry I don't have the link in my back pocket.[QUOTE="acidicadis"]

You make a good point. But the only thing I was saying, was that without people, we wouldn't have alot of the bad stuff we do now. We wouldn't have to clean things up, or live in harmony with nature.

I think the point is that religion is too often a scapegoat for morally defunct leaders to blame their actions on as well as atheists to blame the world's problem's on. If religion was suddenly wiped from the Earth it wouldn't solve anything. People would simply move on to another scapegoat.Please Log In to post.
