I think most religions, or rather most eligiou sleaders, do not wich to promote love, so much as they watn to maintain power over the masses.

Level 7

I believe religion is just a way to justify hate, war and killing. Afterall, if your made up God says it's ok then it's a perfectly moral thing to do.

This is by design. The Gospels are set up for cherry picking.

Well said ??

Level 8

Religion teaches us to think others deserve our hatred, so any "love" would be pity.

Level 6

I think there is lots of good solid love in all the world’s religions. They all preach the same foundational principle of love, unity, and forgiveness. Just separate the words from the institutions.

Great quote!

Level 8

Religion has separated man into different groups/factions. If only people weren't so bored back then, that they had to make stories up and force people to believe it. This is what they did in their spare time, they made up stories and then believed them to be true. People are so gulible.
