Religion is a cancer on society and literally the #1 worst thing to ever happen to humanity. Prove me wrong.
>Pro-tip: you fucking can't.
>>675469300
Prove wrong? I see nothing wrong. Anything that deludes people of their own cognition and accountability and turns them into sheep is bad for anyone but those that influence their delusions.
>>675469300
Agreed.
Also, nice dubs
>>675469300
What about herpes?
This shit hurts a lot more than being baptized then, I can tell you that.
>>675469300
Agree 100% filthy retarded brainwashed scum everyone of them !
Pretty much yes. but it can keep stupid people in line so the humanity might be more or less fucked up without it.

Christianity causes no harm. And don't preach about the crusade that happened thousand years ago.
dunno. the catholics were always there to feed and shelter me when i was homeless. its not like many people are lining up to help those in need.

It brainwashes people into rejecting proven scientific facts, as well as hating gays.
>>675470210
Its turned my crazy fun sister, in to a dult with 5 kids and a shit head husband.
>>675469300
Your post is spot-on, OP. I instantly lose respect for anyone that tells me that they associate with any sort of organized religion.
>>675470210
It caused creationists
Religion is the biggest brain wash which is totally acceptable everywhere in the world
It depends on how seriously you take your religion. light practice never harms anyone but when you become a fanatic you lose sight of reality
>>675470413
Yeah you really shouldn't need to be brainwashed to hate gays.
welp now i have vacations thanks to religion, so what atheist have ever done to me

Why does the government decry the news from the front?

YOU ARE TOTALLY FUCKING RIGHT!
>>675469300
STRANGELY THE NEXT THREAD IS ABOUT ISIS!
So many young people are against religion nowadays like never before, probably since we have the internet to answer our questions, instead of ancient metaphorical dogma.
It's just too bad young folks are still too stupid to actually have their voices heard, and vote. Old people vote all of the damn time, which is why so many rules in society suck.

Classic straw man arguments there bro, do u even know what a debate is?
Non religious people commit considerably less violent crimes than do religious people, especially amongst prison populations. I encourage you to look it up. Nobody is claiming that an atheist can't be driven to come just like anyone else, but an atheist has only himself to blame in justifying his actions, whereas any religious person can claim GOD GUIDED MY HAND AND MADE ME KILL DAT BOY CUZ IT WAS MEANT TO BEEEEEE

>any religious person can claim GOD GUIDED MY HAND AND MADE ME KILL DAT BOY CUZ IT WAS MEANT TO BEEEEEE
this is a straw man, anyone can claim any argument ever for why they did something. Also please show a valid study showing religious people commit more crimes, if that is your argument.
Read the unadulterated HalleluYAH scriptures, then realize it is not RELIGION (Religare; to hold back) but SPIRITUALITY that is key to peace and prosperity. The texts do not advocate suffering, only the temptations and deadly sins found within man provoke that, it is NOT religion, it is man himself.
You will argue that 'Islam' has committed atrocities, but you forget that Islam is not a man, it is an ideology that is actually peaceful. A gun does not kill, the man pulling the trigger does so.
Stop blaming faith for the world's problems. There are billions of religious people who are more righteous than most, stop scoping in on a select few who have likely misinterpreted the texts or come from a poor background and are forced to commit crimes due to the lack of good willing men to help them.
Im not being biased or anything but, it seems to me like you think your better than everyone else. You're taking something so complex and instilled into society as if it's not bigger than you. Religion will always be a part of society. And the things all of you are describing about religion are extremists. Extremists aren't the voice of every group and there are people who want to live their lives with their religion and mind themselves. In fact with things that you're typing on an "anon" website make you a biased radical. You saying the things you're saying will make no one change their views.
Please graduate high school before posting your edgy bullshit on 4chan.

Saw that image and thought this was a god-tier band thread. Oh well. Religion is for cucks and weak willed faggots that need emotional support because they can't handle reality.

Worst thing?
For thousands of years religion was only thing stopping people eating each other literally.
Religion gave birth to law, morale, science, education, philosophy.
Religion was one of the reasons why people started living settle life.
Religions were responsible for exploration of world.
Religions saved millions lives providing medicine, shelter for ill, support for orphans, widows and other poor people.
If you dig deep enough in your family tree you will find someone who would be dead if not religion.
Or you are talking about Islam?
it's like Christianity. Religion is not bad as theory. Bad are people who use religion as excuse to satisfy self interest, like Christianity in Crusades or Islam today.

>It was the church with its monasteries that caused a great deal of scientific advances
The church used to also be the only ones who were allowed to know how to read. Galileo was exiled from his home and imprisoned (by the church) for what he was ultimately correct about saying. William Tynsdale as burned at the stake for the crime of being the first person to translate the bible into English.

"Christianity causes no harm"
Tell that to all the kids who were molested by Catholic priests.
Also, religion holds back human progression as a whole.
>>675480108
That man altered the bible for his satisfaction and said god spoke to him and told him to do these things. Instead of using a deranged lunatic as the whole face of Christianity basing it off of an incident why don't you provide actual scriptures from the bible idiot and then come back and tell me if it's OK to rape young girls
>>675470210
Imagine where we would be if they didn't slow down human progress as much as they did
