Religion sucks

[Enoch]

I agree but there are worse groups to choose from than Religion. Religion at the least teaches the word of god and also allows for belief in spirit. Dont blame religion its like blaming the loaded gun that a killer has instead of the killer. The biggest issue i have is that religion keeps us all segregated.
Anyways the government is far worse than any religion and in the end i choose to have a christian at my side than i would a politician.....

[James S]

Religions teach separation, which ironically goes against the very core spiritual principals they all claim to uphold.

We are not separate from one another and we are not separate from God, yet the religions teach us that we are.
Governments may seem to be worse than religions, but the govenments are only operating under moral and legal principals that were established by religions in the first place. It is through both world religions and world governments upholding of this philosophy of separation that we have so much prejudice and violence in the world.

[Enoch]

I dont think so. The government has done anything they want with religious order for quite some time now. Up to and including makeing sure our missionaries make it to other parts of the world to spread the Christian word. And remember not just the united states. Many other countries have no choice in religion at all. Unless of course they go underground. 
When the end time comes part of the strife i think at least will be between religion and government. Now im no christian but i have many near and dear to me that are. Just because they cannot yet see that they are not the end all. Does not mean that they are not strong. They have a very powerful belief. A belief that is not altogether wrong. And they are commited.  Politicians once you take away the money will collapse like a card house.....see what im trying to get at here. We by being religiously intolerant ourselves are no better than the Christian that hates us for being pagans. I for one am above that.
             I strive to spread the true word. Not to condone other people (other than the government). It will never help our cause to be just like the inquisition or the clerics who burned and slayed witches and pagans long ago. Im happy just to be able to choose what belief i will have and o be able to help people to SEE.
