but buhdist dunt blive budda is a god, they belive him as a teacher. but heres my point, there are so many religions, they cannot all be right. jesus enforced many people's beleaf in one god, the almighty. judaism still belives in god, but not jesus (i think) hinduism belives in many gods that form one god, which is right? i am personally starting to beliv in this idea that religion was made up for control.
lol well this debate wasnt ment to change anyone views of god but as you can see religion is a huge controller for millions of people world wide and if we didnt have religion we would have alot betters things and alot worse... think about it
i am not dissagreeing with the idea of using a "religion" that wasnlt true as a form of control as bad (although in the middle ages the church took its power too far) but i am just saying that religios beleifs are not as strong as they were, and when you think about it deeply you see that it is all not true! well thats my oppinion at lest
But if you think about the lives that were saved, and sacraficed for religion thats when you know that religion has been taken too far... since the early 1500's its been going to far.. but all im saying is that religion is what keeps people going and it gives them hope... evn if its false hope it still makes those people have a huge weight lifted from their sholders...
in times of strugle and hardship, relisgon always appears, say a war. many people wil becoem resligos, as as there are thinsg ahppeing to them that are out of control, they seek a higher power and to get help with there problems, im not saying this is a bad thing, as the belife may help them stay sain and survive, athogh i do not belive the higher powers is anything more than the human need to think tehy ahve some control over the world.
may otehr point is that religon is a form of control. tahst not a bad thing, its was tehre to stop epopel stailing going on kill sprees using hell and heven as instives to be good and not do horrible things. now days thogh this form of control is not needed the police force can inforese the laws without any need for a higher power.
plus i think having relsigon control over peoples life could be quite dnageros, as is all blind belife. it is teh fantical religos belifes of asma bin lardens followers that casued the 9 / 11 tradgedy. religon can be easly manipluted by anyone seeking power, wich i see as dangeros, it can also stop people form follwing logic and isnetd fllwing gut felling as teh belives it is theree god. wichnis why asma bin larden did what he did, to him he wpreobly thoght it was hsi gods will, asthogh billion of otehsr disagree it is his personly [persption of god that makes the differnce, not the majority one.
The Islam holy book has the first 5 books in the bible in it. Not once did it say, 'Retaliate against the west by planning terrorist attacks'.Quote:

Just remember, if you don't believe in God, you don't believe in Christmas.
