The *popular* religions in trouble

[Hiebreed]

Yeah, I agree, they are getting in trouble. I think it is the work of humans. I do not believe too much in religions, only follow your heart. If you have faith in God, and worship him in whatever way you want, then you will be loved by God.

humans.

"Men never do evil so completely & cheerfully as when they do it with religious conviction". though, that's not to say that the religion is evil, just that people are using it to justify their own evil acts. after all, countless good things have also been accomplished in the names of those religions...

Hmmm... jc84corvette said, "Chrisianity, Islamic, and Judaism.

"The Big 3" as some call it. My point is, all three of these religions are under lots of controversy with rape, war and other things. Is this the work of the devil? Or is it humans doing it."

 Hmmm...is it the work of the devil? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! No, those big three religions were f*cked up since conception.  First, all three religions that you mention are close copies of one another.  First came Judaism, then Christianity then Islam.  They didn't have the courtesy to make their own tales up, they just modified older tales from FAR older religions.  Famous examples, Noah's flood, the parting of the Red Sea and the Isrealites exodus from Egypt, the birth of Jesus... all are modified rip offs of older more established (but mostly now defunct) religions.  With all the controversy, wars and strife these big three religions have caused in the world, they are now finally meeting their chaotic, karmal destinies.  What that is, remains to be seen, and whether it will all play out within our lifetimes is completely up to the universal powers that be, but it should make for an incredibley entertaining spectacle while we can see it.  If not a bloody one.

I just think it's a cop-out to blame anyone but themselves for their destructive ends.  Especially the devil...lol!

It seems to me that some people join groups and just use them for gang warfare. (i.e. im in this religion, your in a different one, therefore i'll beat you up.)
This happens with sports too. I think football hooligans only support teams because it puts them in a 'gang' and they think it justifies them attacking someone in a different 'gang'.

Ghostrider?
Have you any idea for the basis for all religions come from?
I would try Sumeria and so would Sicthin.
Religions aren't in any trouble I would say.The only place they are in trouble are places where culture is linked so much to religion.
