[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 62543, member: 217"] Most actions people claim are done for religious behavior or to "help the poor" are solely done for economic gain. Religious institutions are no different. You've been lied to by every other institution in the WORLD. Government, Financial, Anything, I'm sure you can recall an incident where you have been lied to. What makes you really believe that for some reason the religious institutions have remained untouched for the longest period of time? And, there's LOADS of scientists who do a lot of work for the poor. Your pulling straws here. Oh, but what you are doing here is comparing how humans practice it and concluding that their idealogy is the one that is incorrect. In theory, Communist Manifesto is written brilliantly, it just does not allow much room for natural human actions. But, can't we blame this on the people rather than the philosophy and have people continue to try to get this philosophy to work correctly? Wouldn't we call that stupid, if people actually believed Communism would still create a stronghold after the horrendous actions it's done in the past. This is the same things I bring up against religion, but its always the believers who are saying "the philosophy is fine, its the people" "You can not judge the philosophy on how the followers practice it". That is EXACTLY how you are judging Communism, and it makes the most logical sense. 1) lol, I come to a philosophy forum and now I'm spitting "Anti-religious" propaganda. Man, these are the reasons I strayed away from such sites for a period of 2 years. THIS IS A PHILOSOPHY FORUM. Does everything have to be pro-Sikh to be admissable? I hope this site does not turn into the ridiculous hell-hole sikhsangat.com has. The sole point of this thread is to provoke thought and intellectual discussion. 2) Your not big on feminism because your a male who doesn't realize the historical context of the movement and the things you are claiming as "insults". 3) Sinister, I did deny the positive-ness religion has provided for society because I was making a thread outlining the PROBLEM with it. To call me blissfully ignorant on the polar opposite I feel is a personal attack. I did not wish to write a 100 page paper on the history of religion outlining its positive actions and negative ones. I was summarizing the problem of religion in a modern day context, and why it is no longer suitable. Has religion helped humanity reach this point? I would definitely agree. It was a vehicle we used to get here, but the vehicle caused a lot of trouble along the way and no longer works. It's time to make a new ship and continue to progress without tweaking a dead ship that has caused numerous amounts of trouble in the past. Religion gives poor people hope, I can not disagree with that. That is one of the main positive things that religion has. Most of the things we believe to be true, are lied to us, by these religious institutions. They want your mind. The point of this thread was to atleast liberate it for a minute and to think outside of the box we've all built for ourselves. [/QUOTE]
