There are around 4200 religions around the world and even in each one there are hundreds if not thousands of interpretations like catholics, protestant etc

But which one do you think is the right one as they cant all be right?

Is wrongest a word? oh, it is!!!
I always assumed wrong was wrong.
Religion is wrong, or having a set of beliefs that makes you 100% right if you believe in them and everyone else wrong if they don't is wrong. People are fluid, humanity is fluid, and human nature is fluid. Trying to box these into one belief system or another can't work and hasn't worked since the inception of religion.

We figured out in a thread yesterday that it is, perhaps surprisingly, Scientology.

[the truth]

Christinaity. The rest are either watered down versions , weak immitations or simply inferior.

I guess there's only one way to find out for sure.

Everyones own religion is true to them, that's all that matters.

If this thread goes on for a hundred pages this will still be the truest post.

If only it were true... but that is my point about religion. None of them are only personal, and all of them include a need to convert others to your point of view and to condemn those who are not of the same religion as you.

They are all right, at least to the people who believe in them.

All of them? Well that's not true.

and that would be fine if, like believing in say Klingons, it was a personal matter and not something that l in out schools and in our politics

I am afraid its not all that lovely dovey and anodyne


Look at how young disillusioned men, who dont get enough sex or dates, become radicalised and then commit mass murder to punish people who dont share their religious views.


The fact that people think they are right and others are wrong is front line major problem for mankind right here, right now

and in vfact ISIS probably tow that line the most

I see you bringing up the school issue a lot in serious debates in regards to religion, if it directly affects you and you don't want your child's education to involve any religion then you can arrange for that with the school or you send them to a non denominational school instead.

It's my personal view that non religious people attempt to force their opinion on others about what they believe rather than the other way round, of course that's not involving extremists but i'm sure you know were I'm coming from.

Your second last sentence is a complete contradiction, if they end up committing mass murder for the reasons you stated then the religion thing is only used as an excuse, the real reason they are angry is because they aren't getting enough sex or dates. Make your mind up?

Live and let live.

My religion doesn't actively recruit and I have never condemned anyone for their beliefs or their lack of them - except Leather Trumpet, he's fair game.

what is your reason for religifying children?

surely you agree that children should be given the best education afforded by the best peer reviewed research available and then when adults if they wish to get into religious cults they can?

I personally don't have any reasons or issues, it's not me that mentions it? I was replying to your comment about it

Some parents want there children to learn about religion (and btw a lot of schools teach the kids about a wide range of religions not just one) that's not the same as forcing them into a religion.

And just like those parents choose to do that you can choose not to like I mentioned above, just because you have an issue with it doesn't mean everyone does.

While I have no idea what religion you claim, and I can believe that you personally have never condemned someone else for their differing beliefs, the design and construct of a religion is faith that the core beliefs of it are the truth, and by saying what you believe is true over anyone's differing beliefs, your religion is putting all others in the category of the condemned by its own doctrine.

"It's true to me that god exists and that if I don't believe in him I go to hell after death" is saying that those not in my religion and belief system are condemned
