Religions - Your Opinion

[Infernaeus]

Nice post, but "I think religion is just fine" even though it is the causer of most wars and the reason why this world is not in one unity?

Wars are a part of human nature, and we attach all kinds of reasons to them, but the removal of religion would not remove wars or genocide or any of those travesties. Most wars have been caused by a number of very practical reasons, not religious ones. Greed, fear, and envy keep us from being a unified race of human beings, I think, and not religions. The only reason religion shows the signs of these character flaws is because we structured these religions, and we are these religions. So, just as we have flaws so too do our organizations.

Religion would only work in my eyes if people kept it to themselves and stopped knocking on peoples doors trying to convert people.

Yes, I think that spirituality is a completely individual experience, and if religions are there to help us with spiritual growth then they should be there for those who seek them, they shouldn't seek people and try to add to their congregation.
