[quote=BARONTWANGLE,324035]Marrie - "Religion limits killing behaviors because of human subjectively believe in or fear of penalty from God." - you obviously haven't read any religious scriptures then! The Bible (supposedly the world's best selling book) tells its believers to kill people all the time, and for a number of sins (including those who follow other religions). The Qur'an seems slightly worse in the fact that it tells all Muslims they MUST kill other Muslims if they decide to stop their faith. Other holy scriptures all follow similar threats. I personally believe that Christianity is the worst of all religions because it hides its evil behind an innocent mask. Many people regard Christians as caring, kind, and forgiving people, but that it total nonsense. However, a good reputation is all that is needed. Mark Twain once wrote "Give a man a reputation as an early riser and he can sleep 'til noon". Religion breeds evil. It is wicked. See it for what it is - a cult. I agree with you that it is human nature to have jealousy and hatred inside, but religion just provides yet another reason to hate someone else. There are already many parameters which separate people in this world (Race, nationality, region, sex, age, even what sports team they support), and all religion does is provide another one. I don't know much about the readings of the Qur'an, but I do know that the Bible is nothing more than a fictitious fantasy, written 2000 years ago, on nothing more than the evidence of hearsay. It is full of contradictions, and as man has evolved his knowledge of science, more and more holes appear in the bible all the time. At first, Christians kick up a fuss about these, trying to twist the words around to mean something different, but eventually they have to admit defeat. The fact that the world revolves around the sun (and not vice versa) is now generally accepted by Christians as the truth, even though the Bible states otherwise. Soon they will have to accept that there was no flood, there was no resurrection, there was no virgin birth, the world is not only 6000 years old, and man is not made of dust! It is pathetic, and anyone who believes this story book is a fool. For any Christians who want to argue their case, maybe you can start by explaining how Noah found polar bears and penguins in Palestine? Explain how we have millions of pieces of evidence to show the existence of the Universe prior to 6000 years ago (Dinosaurs, geology, even Chinese civilisation!)? And finally explain why every church spire has a lightning rod on top - don't you think this shows lack of confidence?!!! [/quote]
