Yes, that's why I wrote "Root of Evil", not "Root of All Evil". I agree that religion has brought it some goods, but the humongous issues it has created cannot even be remotely compared with those goods.  Many things bring goods, however, that does not corroborate a reason to ignore the countless disadvantages (especially when people's live are at stake).
Yeah, I see what you mean by that, but most (i hope lol)religions don't have a clause saying "kill people if they aren't in said religion". Most religions tend to  not promote war and killing and those are things done by the people in the religions. It's really about people's response to religions, some take it far too literally others completely ignore it.

Either way I completely respect your view on this matter, though I probably agree more with Aznmagic's and TGE's posts.

The existence of a god does not require the existence of a religion.

Also, many of the 'kill all...' statements you introduced are extrapolations made by fools as opposed to the actual religious doctrine as any sane person would see it.

That said, I don't like organized religion, because it does cause a lot of death, and results in a marked superiority complex which I find disgusting, especially within my own people.

please go find any of what you just wrote in the Bible & Qur'an. I'm not a fan of organized religion myself but what frustrates me when people say stuff without doing any of their homework.

However, the existence of God DOES require evidence and proof. Otherwise, why don't people believe in unicorns, Santa Claus, tooth fairy and zombies- because there is no scientific evidence.

What you have been writing above needs evidence. Why are you dodging it all of the sudden??

Because you made it up?

have you ever tried to establish the exitstence of a god for yourself using rational logic?

Some people believe in god because it makes sense to them, and because they don't have the arrogance and/or creativity to try to understand everything.

Others believe in God because they have the arrogance to want to say that their way is THE way.

Others (like me) use the idea of a Godhead as a method of furthering their own understanding, belief or not.

Either way, the fact that you're acknowledging the idea of such a being means that it must exist in some form, perhaps within the consciousness with which you view the world.

Have you considered that all existence could be circular and actually depend on the consensus perception of humanity. As in, I perceive the existence of a god. Therefor, within my perception, god exists. God is the creator and causes me to be. But it is my consciousness that spawns the idea of god...

intrepretations (or conflict of interpretations) should not necessarily reflect negatively on the religions themselves

but, you're right.  an absence of religion guarantees an absence of turmoil.  i hear that stalin was a great fucking guy

wait wait, i thought this thread was about God. It's about religion? No, no. You've got this mistaken. You even started the thread about God. And now you are badmouthing people's religion? This is how threads get out of hand.

I believe we should settle this like mature adults, which means someone is going to have to make a poll  :lol:
