I can't imagine Jesus, Ali and Buddha sitting around a table. Talking about weapons of mass destruction.

I can imagine corporatism tooling religion into mass destruction. Politics, Military and Religion merge together to control and own the World.

Great article. I have always thought of religion as a way to control the masses, before we had a government. I'm thankful that my parents were not religious. It really is a form of brainwashing.

Nice. I reject all religions. But let's acknowledge that monotheistic religions are the worst. There's a direct line from belief in a single one "true" God, to the word of God, the enemies or heretics of God, and finally the wars and slaughter of these enemies of God. It's inexorable. Add the Dark Ages, the combining of mono-G religions to empires, the wars between the one true God religions, and it's nothing less than an inevitable result in belief in a single God that is never wrong, that you're either with or against, and of course know exactly what he wants.

I've written before, but if we could add up the deaths in human history due to religions, the wars, the religious oppression and other atrocities, then that figure would pale all others.

Ignorance is the enemy

Religion = how to make puppets of people, create wars without ever getting your hands bloodied, dirty, etc, and NEVER having to take the responsibility for your actions.

Not a very well written article. Just puerile, rhetoric filled verbiage. Probably aimed at a particular audience. The author purports to have a degree in social political history. I’m sure if this was submitted as a course paper it would have been sent back after the first paragraph!

True. I have no use for religion.

Absolutely right!

No doubt!!!
