Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

"I agree with you, But no where in the Bible says anything about Christianity as a separate religion But as a relationship with God."A science fiction book wouldn't have to claim to be a science fiction book for the story inside to be science fiction. A religion is an organized system of beliefs, associated with a community and reliant on faith. While not always a part of the definition, religions always have some explanation regarding what happens after we die, generally invoking some non physical portion of our consciousness. Christianity has all of these features. If individuals prefer to take a more solitary approach and distance themselves from the organization and community of Christianity, then I suppose I could accept them as being spiritual as opposed to religious. But if they have faith in Christ and the Holy Bible, than their spirituality is intrinsically tied to the religion, even if they themselves are not an active part of it. "nowhere in the Bible does it give any one particular person/persons such a ridiculous amount of power (The Pope). In Fact the Bible is against such things."I'm pretty sure you are totally right about this. Certainly, that's what Martin Luther taught. But even in Protestantism there is a level of organization, a hierarchy where someone is given either explicit or implicit authority over the "flock." Of course, this is natural. This is just how humans work, and the organization makes things a heck of a lot easier. Its why political parties, the military, universities, corporations or virtually any group with a common goal and/or resources arrange themselves in such patterns. The problem is, spirituality is so deeply emotional and transforming that it can be used by anyone in power to manipulate the followers if they desire. Even if they don't claim to have authority from God, their teachings and preachings still end up being praised as the Gospel truth by their followers. The faith itself can and does blind a lot of people as to what is really going on. It can obfuscate the real issues. And you don't need a Pope to get that ball rolling. "But you must understand that they weren't following the Bible in the First place."This is a hard judgment to make. The Bible says MANY things, not all of which are objectively compatible. Some are pretty vague, and many Christians agree that at least parts of it are parables. So it pretty much requires interpretation, and with so many stories being told within it, not to mention all the translations it has gone through and the vast cultural changes that have occurred since it was written, an extremely wide range of interpretations can be drawn. As a result, almost any group of Christians can claim that they are the only ones actually following the Bible, and that all others are getting it wrong. Objectivity becomes very difficult within religion. "I Know some very friendly, Kind hospitable Muslims."So do I. I don't judge people based on their spirituality. I have friends from several different faiths. My objection is to their beliefs, not the person themselves. "Scientific professionals and tools ( doctors,surgeons, X rays) could not explain what was wrong with the person involved with the events in question."That does happen from time to time. We don't know everything. But occasional failures by the scientific community are no reason to judge against in it, especially with all the benefits the scientific method has brought to humanity. And the idea that these failures automatic create a natural/supernatural dichotomy is illogical.
