My personal belief is that all of us and the world in general would be a lot better off if religion had never come into existence to begin with. All it does is cause problems, like the situation that started this thread, the flaming in this thread, and other problems in general. There are dozens of different denominations of christians and they all pray to the same god, but at the same time hate each other because each side is convinced it's right. With Islam it's even worse, just look at the sunni/shiite sitation in Iraq. Not to mention what happens when religions collide. What's even worst is the fact that religious leaders basically change things as they go along, so if the church/pope or whatever decide that the religion believes this now, everyone will just change their beliefs because someone said so.
And FYI, I actually went to catholic high school (even though I wish I didn't) and just about everyone there had a hypocritical, arrogant, stuck up, I'm better than everyone because I'm awesome attitude. The exact opposite of what the religion claims to teach. Not to mention the fascist like disciplinary ideals (I actually got suspended for a day for making a photoshop of this kids picture). Granted, there were some decent people, but over all it was a joke. Public school would have been a lot better IMO. So basically I'm saying, if you ever have kids, don't send them any religious school, I know I sure as hell wouldn't. Being there for 4 years really messed me up. Everything they tell you is nothing by lies. Not a good thing at all
But I don't have a problem with people being religious as long as they don't try to convert everyone they see, force their religion on anyone else who doesn't want to hear it, or blowup abortion clinics/fly planes into buildings/whatever becuase god is calling them.
