You couldn't be more right. Only people who don't know about religion would say that it teaches love, tolerance, and acceptance. How religion ever became associated with such good qualities I will never know. Too often Christianity teaches fear, bigotry, and hatred. It divides people and causes war. Unspeakable acts have been committed in the name of god... but of course you will just tell me that those were the people who were really evil and misguided... your god is the correct one... your actions are just... unlike all of those other religions throughout history. Right? Guess what, that is what every single one of those people and religions were convinced of when they committed atrocities. It all began with an overwhelming sense of righteousness. Religion is truly dangerous. Every religion has a different viewpoint on what is right. So many of you on this forum talk about how corrupted our society is becoming and say that the only way to maintain morality is through religion. Well I'm sorry, but without organized religion I believe that we would find that less separates and divides us than you might think. Perhaps it is organized religion that is perverting and corrupting society. There is so much immorality inside of religion it makes me wonder, what exactly is the point of it? Do you all really think that people must have religion to be good moral people?
