Is religion ruining today's soceity?

[YoManGo!]

Most 'inter-religious' battles aren't fought over religious views, they're fought over issues to do with intergration in communities, it has very little to do with religion, asides from the fact the sides have generally different religions, which doesn't come into the argument.

Religion is a pretty nice scapegoat tbh.

What will become of this religious "war" - will one religion be superior to all or will we all become athiests?

I was using battle as a metaphor for ethnic disputes, hence the "'s!

Religion is defiantly a scapegoat.

without religion there would be no war.

but you can never get rid of religion.

yeah, that wasn't an attack at you or anything
i just think (like you??) that the main problem is people think the arguments are about religion when they're not.

yeah...
neither of the world wars were about religion
the war Britain and America are in at the moment has nothing to do with religion
unless you count ancient crusades as wars, a small proportion of wars are about religion

make sure you know what you're typing about is correct!

This is very true. Unfortuantly.

Fair enough. And yeah that is also what I think.

There's always been "superior" religions by the amount of people who believe in them, always has been, always will be. If it does all turn to Atheism, then some wise crack will try to be clever and rediscover religion.

I am strong athesist, and believe that religion should be scrapped. I know this won't happen, but I don't think its right that people worship a "higher being".

[F32]

Athiesm, in my opinion, should take over.

Then we can have sensible laws.

[YoManGo!]

@joshuarr: actually god came down in the form of Jesus so he could live just like a human being, 'to serve, not to be served upon.'

Seriously, get your facts right, people!

Do you have any proof of this?

The only proof you have is a book; that some guy wrote one day when he was bored.
