Its a tradition and is an effective way of controlling humanity.
It keeps us from destroying ourselves actually.
It unites us.
However, its when two religions contradict thats the prollem.

I disagree. It was the source for destruction the most times. And it unites people with a bond of ignorance and lies. I follow no religion nor believe in anything, and I'm still sane, I don't want to destroy the world, and I'm united to some people.

I'd rather the world was full of destruction, rather than lambs.
And as it is, the world is full of lamps and destruction. Lot of good religion has brought, huh?

IRT Wiseman-Yes, you are perfectly sane. But the idea is that it controls most of the crazy people along with many sane people too. But it effectively keeps that stupid majority in check, allowing for global peace.
Seriously man, without religion who would be there to say killing is wrong?
We are violent natured beings, it is against our nature to live in peace. Religion can be very bad, but it still does a lot of good. Give it a break now and then, its done some good. A lot of good.

People should be smart enough to figure out that killing someone else is't good. Or we could think like Nietzsche*points to Beyond Good and Evil*

India? Poor? Don't make me laugh. While the country isn't the richest nation, they do have a good economy. While they do have poor people, all countries do. 99% of people can read and write. It is a very successful country. The only problem is a class system, which is pretty much gone now.
The reason for this success is a religion which gives the room to do what they want. The only difficulty is showing people kiss on tv and in movies. They don't seem to like that for some reason. But it doesn't stop them in private, of course.
I can see what some of you mean. You believe in science, whom says that live is as we see it. So the ideas of God or something spiritural seems stupid to you.
To others whom have spirit, they will see you as depressing, with no direction outside of life.
You can't call all religious people 'lambs'. Thats very unfair. Every person has a reason to why they believe something. Of course, some people will be plain ol' 'lambs', but thats not all.
I follow the beliefs of Wicca. Why? Because i don't think the mind just stops. I feel it goes somewhere. A energy that once created the world and life seems to make sense, as it includes evolution theories. The mind is created by that energy, and returns to it once the body is dead. Then it may be reincarnated.
Call me a 'lamb', i'll say 'fuck you, at least i do something after life'.
BTW, i got CBA's joke. The suggestion is, if you attack something, you're afraid of it. Therefore, if you are on that diet and you are scared of cows, you should eat beef.
