Some people use religion to excuse and explain atrocities as though they were carrying out some greater orders.

I don't agree with pushing religion onto children, my parent's (neither of whom ever attend church) were really pissed off that I didn't have.my some christened but I said he should choose as and when he wants to get christened. He may want to follow another religion, he may want to become a jedi and when he decides that he can do it.

I believe Jesus was a very religious man of his time. Son of god, born if a virgin....Not so much but I remain open minded and respect people's wishes to believe that.

I think because people see so many bad examples of religion or what they "think" is religion it makes them ignorant .

Of course there's always wolves in sheep clothing ,and dishonest corruption but it's ridiculous to put everyone in the same box .

The crazy fanatics are always the ones who get air time as well .

But yeah as I was saying the normal average person in religion is just minding their own business getting on with things ,and are peaceful .

Nothing wrong with a healthy debate,but I don't understand why people mock take the p is s out of religion .

As I've said I don't believe in reincarnation but I don't make fun of it
