That is a tired old line, isn't it. Just because you have no faith, don't discount everybody who does.
It has its place. You choose not to make use of it fine for you. Others do make use of it. IMHO civilization as it stands now would not exist if not for religion.
Right. It might be more peaceful. If no religion existed there wouldn't be nearly as many conflicts going on right now. As far as I am concerned, there is no place fore religion, it just leads to violence in 'gods name'. My 2cents.
...i agree with the both of you....but i guess that makes us ignorant and unable to grasp the "true meaning of religion"...(scurries off to the corner with the rest of uninteligent rejects)
