R&P: Would the world be a better place without organized religion?!
Question: R&P: Would the world be a better place without organized religion!?
In honor John Lennon's birthday a few days ago (remember the lyrics in "Imagine")!.!.!.
Would the world be a better, happier, more peaceful place without organized religion!?
I say YES!. It's depressing so many wars are waged and lives lost over beliefs started by ancient MEN with no understanding of science!.

Answers:
Yes!. People get way to worked up over something that may or may not even exist!. We as humanity shut people out or lock them in according to their religious behaviour and beliefs!. While most of this generation is doubtful, there is still many thick-skulled people who don't give a damn about an actual person, just what 'god' they worship!.
It's insanity!.

No!. We'd just fight over something else!. If not religion than some other facet of people's identities!. Sure you can point to a bunch of wars inspired by religious differences but I can point to just as many inspired by ideology, nationalism, scarcity of resources, and so on!.
Religious organizations also do plenty of good around the world!. Schools, hospitals, various poverty programs, hell the Catholic Church and Pope John Paul II helped bring down the Soviets!.

I never thought religion had a substantial negative side before but you do offer a different perspective!. I think life has the potential to be better if organized religion were abolished, but not neccessarily for everyone!. Some people need somewhere to go and something to believe in, so what the result of getting rid of organized religion would be varies from person to person!. For some, it has a positive affect, but others could be negatively affected!.

As much as I like John Lennon, "Imagine" was a stupid song!. People like to say religion is the root of all evil, but in reality evil people just use religion for their own evil purposes!. Good people use religion for good purposes!. This is something of a generalization, of course!.

Yes, it would be a happier co-existence with everyone!. I mean I practice Wicca and get bashed on "why don't you believe in God!?" or the classic funny but ignorant "can you fly on a broomstick!?"!. I hate it so, yes no religion would be perfect

It's not necessarily organized religion that is the problem, it is the people within these organizations!. People get so uptight about religion and think that it is somehow their duty to put down and hate on members of other religions!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
Yes, the world would indeed be a better place without religion, and it is one of the biggest obstacles to turning humanity into a truly global civilisation!.

I think that religion has a lot to offer but organized religion has certainly contributed to more wars and bigotry like you said!. Overall, I'd say yeah!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Well without organized religion, no church!. With no church, no gospel!. With no gospel, no Rock and Roll!.
Thus Religion has it's place!.

I really do think that Religion has caused many problems and many things in Science to not be discovered

Without religion, a majority of the countries wouldn't exist!. Pilgrims settled in this dirt for religious tolerance!. Think about it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Yes I believe so!. I definitely think the world would be better off and people would just be happier in general!.

I think so!.
But I can't say for sure!. Maybe all hell (no pun intended!?) would break loose if it was done away with!. Who knows!.

Absolutely!. But don't blame men, after all, a lot of Queens forced wars based on religion!.

In my opinion it would be!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I think that there would be a lot of advantages to having no religion, but there would be a lot of downsides, too!. First of all, I'm absolutely f*cking -sick- of people like Fred Phelps who take the Bible WAY too literally!. They pick up certain phrases and -twist- it to their advantage, changing the original meaning!. -Anyone- who can picket a funeral without feeling absolutely worthless is a horrible excuse of a human being--I don't care whose funeral it was!. THAT is one of the pitfalls of religion--that they can validate hate using a message that was meant to save and redeem!.
That said, some people need to believe in a greater being/purpose!. Some people need to hope!. Like someone said, we'd still find reasons to have wars--over stupid insignificant things!. Religion is just the most acceptable cover!.
I, for one, am not sure what I believe at the moment!. I feel like I'm a transcendentalist born in the wrong century, and I hold -morals- in higher esteem than any god!. If more people went along with what -they- felt was right, rather than what a book, or some fanatic told them, then the world might be a better place!.
MA: The Rolling Stones!. I'm not too crazy about them, but other than "Live and Let Die," I'm not really familiar with Wings' work!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
