Religion to me has always been a classic way to explain the unexplained. Religion has only survived as parents have forced their beliefs on their offspring from a young age. Turning them into the same ignorant person the parent was to begin with. I have seen many question the Big Bang theory, Plus others scientists have researched. See that word? Researched. What is the evidence that in the Christian faith that some bloke sat on a cloud pointing his finger? Because the nice man in the robe told you when you were 4 years old?
Intelligent yet naive people have been dedicating time and energy into knowing how the universe was made and to some people the question was “who?”
Us humans are far too clever for our own good causing suffering to ourselves as we HAVE to know everything.

I am no scholar but I believe that religion is a product of the times, meaning that many thousands of years ago the creature man was very violent and ignorant. The cruelty that was the norm in those times made people desperate for a change or a savior. So over the centuries religion evolved to meet the needs of the people. It never made much difference so many adaptation were made to meet the need. Now, is it wrong to want a different climate from the one they had? I believe that religion was not intended to be evil but over time it became political and controlled by evil people who are only interested in personal wealth and power. Is any religion better than the other? Well, many were really dreadful, human sacrifice and such. The religions of today are pretty much the same, all about greed and power.

The claim that there is science in the Quran is ridiculous. The examples cited by muslim apologists are incorrect and by no means science…

Religion was created to explain things. When humans first became sentient, they began to wonder about their surroundings, Why is the sky blue? Why do I need to eat food to survive? What happens after I die? They eventually became aware of their own mortality, and that scared them. Who wants to live with the burden of knowing that when you die, you are gone forever? So early humans created tales to tell their children to explain things that they wondered about, and at the center of these tales, was usually a supreme being. Humans want to feel that they have a second chance.
The question that we should be asking is not, “Why was religion created?”. It is “Why are people still believing it?” When religion was invented, it was to understand things, but why do people still believe it when we have science?

Another thing to think about is this In the 10 comandments the first is though shall not kill LOL If you read the bible all it talks about for punishment in 89% of all things you can do wrong, is stone them to death or put to death what a loving god huh! Another one that is a good joke is Though shall not worship any graven image. This I find too funny where in all churches there is a cross with jesus on it Hmm a dead guy on a crucifix or better known as a cross. The crucifix was a device to use to torture people or used to hang a person to death on. That is what these christians worship funny huh! And another good one is If you read the dead sea scrolls? If god made Adam first then put him in a deep sleep removed a rib and made Eve then why was Adam Married to Elisah before eve? The whole story is bull&$@#!!! Here’s one, The word of God came in the year Jesus was born being 0000 anything before being BC and anything after being AD then why did people have other gods thousands of years before christ? Christianity is a newer form of religon thats all and mostly made to control people by fear of burning yet god loves us all LMAO! If there were a god then I would have to say he messed up big time where non of us had done wrong period. Where this is what he made if he did not like it he should have been a better engineer and it would not be our falt it would be his! And the best question of all would be… Whould you really want to be tied to this christianity? After all this bunch of Killers come to what we now know as the USA. The USA was made by people that had no trouble killing almost all the indians just to steal there land for themselfs and do it in the name of GOD LOL I would not want to be tied into a bunch of murderers that kill for self profit using God as a excuse!!! How about this if there is only one God to follow then why are there over 60 religons that use christ as a tool? The whole this is made up to make money and scare the witts out of people by fear If only people saw the big Picture then we could evolve as a race.
Something else to concider! There is no proof of god or no trace of any of the opostlites The roam church Thinks but is not sure that St. Peter is buried there other then that there is no proof and is all based in faith. Hey if there were a God dont you think he could have writen a better book that was based in love instead of hate? But to each his own I guess, As a friend told me a long time ago! Its a good read but to belive in him would mean your nuts! Do you belive in Santa claus and the tooth fairy and the easter bunny there all in the same realness. where told there real as kids but learn the truth after and find that is’s all BS

“This is what many people with very little knowledge say”

This is what people with very little knowledge say, because their egos are so fragile. Religious people constantly accuse others of being narrowminded, prejudiced, etc, but it is perfectly obvious they are the very definition of that. And they are constantly told by their leaders that they are being persecuted so they don’t ever take other people seriously or treat them with real respect, after all, nonbelievers are out to get them. It is a cliche to see religious people treat others with great cruelty and haughtiness and have no other excuse than “you hate me because you don’t want to admit my religion is right”.

BTW I’m not an atheist, I just think religion is silly beyond belief, and just allows people to be comfortable in their ignorance. Look at the silly posts on this page. “Evolution is just a theory”, in other words, it’s easier to spew silly anti-science propaganda than break a sweat and actually learn the science. Remember what the fox said about the grapes.

I think exactly the same way as you do.
I’m not good at english but religion in my eyes looks silly and was invented long time ago by humans to make them behave and do good things.
but when i think about that twice it really scares me to death what is going to happen after i die scinse i dont belive in religion or god.
The thing also is that not many people want’s to belive in that when u die u rotten and get eaten by worms and stuff like that.
neather do i/SORRy for my aweful english but this is all i learned in school

ps.

also, the new theory of the origin of the universe is now called “M” theory, has to to with membranes in a continuem that flex and touch and where they touch, they form a universe, thousands of universes form and each is only slightly different than the others, and we exist in each of them. Or something like that.

rofl
i just wondered if it was Carl Marx who said originally, (originally can be debated) that religion is man’s way of controlling the masses, or something along those lines. We were having this very discussion the other night and my uncle mentioned that Carl Marx was responsible for this quotation
