 Today, in Government class, I made the statement that, "Religion is archaic and holding [us] back." Followed by, "I think you're going to hell!" -- from another student in the class. I love people.  biggrin: 
 Only one person agreed with me. Two people disagreed with it, yet they failed to actually put up any valid points in argument with me.

 its a true statement, but those who are arguing it are the type of people running the country right now as well as those who elected them...its a shame
 i believe people have the right to thier own relationship with religion and god, but that its no ones right to preach or force it onto another person

 yah, something that in theory should give people a good moral ground to stand on is probably holding us back. imo, if more people sought ANY kind of something to believe in wed all be better off. |

IMO, religion is all fine and dandy.  But it is a lot like eating chocolate.  Eating a little, healthy amount is fine.  But when you are eating hershey bars like there is no tommorrow, then thats not good.  Same thing wth religion. |

If you mean people who take their faith seriously, aka deeply religious people, then look up JP II... I don't see how he caused any harm to the world - obviously, he helped people. If you mean extremists, than yes I agree with you. |

 Why can't we all just agree none of us know? I pity people who say there is no God but I pity the people who put all their "faith" into other human beings opinions. |
