Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

You got two extremes here Atheism and christianity. Both are hard to swallow whouldnt you say? Because if life has no meaning, then what is the point of doing these deeds for your community, for the world, if you have nothing to fight for. And beleive me fighting for yourself isnt enough. I think you do realize this. Im sure their are parts of you you would like to change. Im sure of you had the choice you would choose to be the smartest, the strongest, the best person on this planet. But can you imagine a God who loves you dearly for who you are? Thats something to fight more. That is a weight off your sholders. That is a burden that has now been taken off. That my friend is something to fight for. A greater destiny. A greater meaning. A greater picture. He made you purposefully the way you are. Every detail. You were made for love. You were made to love. How can so many people get it wrong? Because people are by nature lost creatures with no light. God gives us himself and what do his people do? Rely on themselves to do the tasks at hand. And when we rely on ourselves, sadly that is where evil steps in. And it will jerk you around and flip you over like a pancake. Things can change so fast, you cannot beleive it. And what do people do? Blame the creater! If you plant a seed and nurture it and take care of it, do you expect it not to grow? If I plant a seed of pride in me and water what will I expect? For it to disapear? Its like a virus taking control of its host. Do you think it will be done over night?lol This is called longterm effects. Second we cant do it alone. It is, sry to say impossible. We cannot accomplish perfection, because we cannot even define the word perfection. We cannot comprehend it. It really sadens me to see people who think they know what perfection is. For example, the navy tells me that they will make me a better person. ?? What is better? Stronger, faster, smarter, more confident? And then next thing you know my recruiter is checking how women anywhere he goes, and he has a wife. :/ Is this the better person I want to be? Aboslutely not. Swear like a sailor sure does apply as well. Doesnt this bother you? Now imagine, the burden of sin being lifted off your shoulders. It feels soo good. The thing that we all long for! And it is reality! Can you imagine! Jesus died for us, he carried the cross, and all of our sins were put on him. Our sins can be forgiven and we can be made new, because of what he did for us. OF course this doesnt agree with our natural selves. We are destined to kill our natural selves. TO dig are way out of the cacoon, that binds us and takes us away. The devil will urge you to beleive this is nonsence, and to stay in our shells. So he can open us up in hell. JESUS DIDNT COME TO JUDGE US! BUT TO SAVE US! Amen

You got two extremes here Atheism and christianity. Both are hard to swallow whouldnt you say? One is an assertion and the other is a rejection of that assertion. Atheism does not involve swallowing anything; rather refusing to swallow it.Because if life has no meaning, then what is the point of doing these deeds for your communityBecause life can be fun without a spiritual meaning. In fact, without a spiritual meaning or an afterlife, it makes more sense to enrich the lives of the community one lives in.But can you imagine a God who loves you dearly for who you are?Not if one were a homosexual; His love is conspicuously absent in that case.How can so many people get it wrong?Because they are gullible idiots. Case example: religion.Because people are by nature lost creatures with no light. There is a single light of science and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.God gives us himself and what do his people do? Rely on themselves to do the tasks at hand.When was the last time God swept the floor for you?Do you think it will be done over night?lolIf the motive force (God) is omnipotent, I expect it to be done instantaneously.Second we cant do it alone.Do what?We cannot accomplish perfection, because we cannot even define the word perfection."Without flaw". It really sadens me to see people who think they know what perfection is. For example, the navy tells me that they will make me a better person. ?? What is better? Stronger, faster, smarter, more confident?Better does not imply perfection, and the navy does not assert that this is the case.And then next thing you know my recruiter is checking how women anywhere he goes, and he has a wife.Checking out women is quite different to cheating on one's lover.Is this the better person I want to be? Aboslutely not. Swear like a sailor sure does apply as well.That's a strange form of anecdotal evidence in which he who presented it did not experience the situation described. I believe this is more accurately described as "bullshit".Now imagine, the burden of sin being lifted off your shoulders.Removing that burden is as easy as saying "there is no sin, because there is no God".It feels soo good.So does homosexual intercourse, I understand. AmenBoulderdash.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

One is an assertion and the other is a rejection of that assertion. Atheism does not involve swallowing anything; rather refusing to swallow it.Atheism is when a person believes that there is no god(s) or spiritual existence of any kind. Because you cannot disprove the existence of god(s) or a spiritual existence, you are indeed swallowing a belief, just a different kind. If you wanted to say you're not swallowing anything, you would be an considered an agnostic.In fact, without a spiritual meaning or an afterlife, it makes more sense to enrich the lives of the community one lives in.Some people have no sense of community, and want only what's best for themselves. When they have a stick (hell) and a carrot (heaven) they may be better motivated to act in a manner which benefits others.Not if one were a homosexual; His love is conspicuously absent in that case.It is a common misconception that the Cristian God hates homosexuals. Most Christians believe that God hates the actions themselves, but not the person.Because they are gullible idiots. Case example: religion.So your case is that 2/3 of the world populations is just plain crazy?There is a single light of science and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.Science is only useful when things can be proven or disproven. You cannot prove or disprove the existence of the supernatural.When was the last time God swept the floor for you?If there was a God, do you really think he would do your daily tasks?If the motive force (God) is omnipotent, I expect it to be done instantaneously.Unless said god has a plan that involves more time, which again, you cannot prove or disprove.That's a strange form of anecdotal evidence in which he who presented it did not experience the situation described. I believe this is more accurately described as "bullshit".I believe the point being made was that people have different opinions about what is good or better.So does homosexual intercourse, I understand. Not to a straight person, which also demonstrates the difference in opinion as to what is good or better.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

We are rejecting an unfounded and wildly preposterous claim. The bible, for example, is described as the inerrant word of God, but has been proven to conflict with modern understanding in multiple instances.You are rejecting it based on the belief that it is a wildly preposterous claim. Not evidence. I could say that someone who believes in Santa Clause follows a wildly preposterous claim, but I couldn't disprove it because Santa Clause is a supernatural figure, and the supernatural can't be tested. All I can really say about it is that it sounds ridiculous to me.The end conclusion is that while we have never disproved the existence of the supernatural, we have shown every particular assertion of supernatural existence to be impossible or highly improbable.Probability relies on a quantifiable knowledge of things and events. The supernatural is not quantifiable through natural means. I would consider the use of a lie to motivate the persons in question to be immoral.Be that as it may, it can still be useful.What cannot be measured or observed has no physical or energetic manifestation and is therefore irrelevant to a material existence.If god did exist in the way many religions believe him to, would he be irrelevant?There is no scientific standpoint to be taken besides neutrality.Which is considered agnosticism.The logical extrapolation is that the scientific verifiability of the existence of the supernatural is entirely irrelevant to human beings.Again, If god did exist in the way many religions believe him to, how would he be irrelevant?Why would it not?There could be many reasons. For example, if you have children, do you do everything for them? If you did, they would never learn to do things for themselves.And for an omnipotent being to require time to bring a plan to fruition is impossible.Yes it is. But that is not what I meant. I was postulating that a longer time could have been planned, not that it was required.There was no point. The fool merely created a meaningless fabrication and based his conclusion upon it.Then I will make that point. Occasionally, people require unification to get things done. Historically, religion has been very effective at unifying large groups of people.I'm sure vaginal sex would not appeal to a homosexual. That doesn't make it morally wrong or evil.Suicide may seem appealing to a severely depressed person, but just because an action seems appealing doesn't mean it's right to do it.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

Gods love is not absent if you are a homosexual you clearly know very little about God, if science is such a wonderful light then how come science is the cause of so much suffering and death, nuclear bombs etc. God doesn't do things instantaneously because i don't think much could be learned if it was instantaneous. People don't change over night they have to make good decisions consistently to make that happen. Checking out a women is not different. Jesus taught that if you even look at a women in lust you have already committed adultry in your heart. That is why every thought must be taken captive so that evil thoughts cannot grow in your mind. I dont know if you have ever experienced guilt but i think homosexual intercourse can cause that feeling trumping any good feelings you might have. Amen means so be it, and it doesn't need to be used here i agree that is boulderdash in this context.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

Gods love is not absent if you are a homosexual you clearly know very little about GodOn the contrary, I know that if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.if science is such a wonderful light then how come science is the cause of so much suffering and death, nuclear bombsThe total death toll for all the nuclear weapons detonated since their invention stands at about 200,000, 99.99% of which is accounted for by the Fat Man and Little Boy gun-type fission weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6th and 9th respectively, 1945.Conversely, the number of people saved through the use of the antibiotic Penicillin and other medicines is incalculable, running into the tens and possibly hundreds of millions. There is simply no rational foundation to the notion that science is not a net contributor to the betterment of mankind.God doesn't do things instantaneously because i don't think much could be learned if it was instantaneous. Learning is impossible for the deity itself, if it exists. Learning for any of its creations is unnecessary and irrelevant, as eventually they die and are reposited in either heaven or Hell.Fortunately, the above reasoning is only valid if a deity exists, which is unlikely. People don't change over night they have to make good decisions consistently to make that happen.Religion is not necessary for this.hecking out a women is not different.Human beings have evolved to reproduce sexually. "Checking out" a woman is entirely natural for males and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.Jesus taught that if you even look at a women in lust you have already committed adultry in your heart.Jesus lied.That is why every thought must be taken captive so that evil thoughts cannot grow in your mind.That policy is called thought crime. It is evil. I dont know if you have ever experienced guilt but i think homosexual intercourse can cause that feeling trumping any good feelings you might have.How would you know? Perhaps you should ask a practising homosexual?
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

Science is not the cause of suffering and death; it is people who use the knowledge of Science as a weapon that cause these atrocities. Nuclear bombs do not exist naturally, thus the discipline of Science is not the "cause" of suffering.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

While I am certainly not a church goer, I am a believer, and I believe religion is a genuinely good thing. It gives people a moral compass and a reason to lead good lives. Imagine if we never had the Ten Commandments. Imagine if no one had ever said the words, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Imagine if people thought life was meaningless. We would live in an even crazier world.Now, religion does have a dark side. It can create extremists, oppressive theocratic regimes like the Taliban and dictators. I believe religion is like alcohol. In moderation it can make you feel good, but too much can, and does kill. Religious zealots leave nothing to interpretation and tend to believe their way is the only way, not just for them, but for everyone. And because of this, they also tend to condemn those who don't share their views. For instance, I was raised Catholic, but I am pro-choice, as have taken more flack for that than I care to remember from fellow Catholics as well as the religious right. That brings me to another issue. Religion, especially in America, has become unbelievably politicized. The Christian right are America's Taliban. They believe in the legitimacy of killing and/or intimidating people (like Dr. George Tiller), and would gladly see America discard the constitution and become nothing less than a theocracy. So, religion... Good. Religion politicized and corrupted... NOT GOOD!!! But be that as it may, I'm glad religion exists, and would not want to live in a world without it.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

No, religion not only gives us something to believe in, but a sense of community. While we are all challenged to "believe" in a religion someone else feels is the "only" religion", we are really challenged to be part of a global community.If we participate in a global community, we must realize that this community may have multiple roots and multiple branches.What really matters is the following:Everyone has an opinion.Everyone adds to and detracts from the goalEveryone wants to share their experiencesEveryone wants to extract value from both groups.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

If we didn't have religion then people wouldn't argue and fight over it, however most of the wars arnt really about religion, they're about other things, so religion should be left as it is, because it keeps some people going in life, and ives people something to belive in, so when times are bad, they can belive that there is someone who can make it betterrrrrr =]People would be all the same, they wouldn't have a god that made them different. ;D
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

The world wouldn't be better off without ALL religions, but certainly those that inspire people to commit acts of violence.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

Religion isn't just following a deity it is your beliefs and the way you live your life your customs and your traditions.people will always have a different belief to the person next to them.If everyone was the same religion then we would still have different say christian then there are loads of denominations and even in the same denomination there are diiferent sectors depending on where they live their parents and how strict their church is.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

No. There are religions that enable people to retain hope during desperate situations. They provide a moral structure for these people, in addition to fostering charity for those so inclined.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

As we see humanity evolve, we see religion die. But, that does not mean that humanity is evolved enough to completely eliminate religion.Religion was necessary in the past to help in establishing morals and explanations for people who didn't have any. As well, religion has, over the years, been a spiritual comforting for people who would be hopeless without it.As science progresses we are able to create explanations and ethics. This does not, however, completely eliminate the need for religion. I can't say what exactly will need to be structured in order for religion to not be necessary, anymore, but we will know when Atheism/Agnosticism and anything NOT religious is dominant (like Deism and shit like that).
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

Religion was necessary in the past to help in establishing morals and explanations for people who didn't have any. As well, religion has, over the years, been a spiritual comforting for people who would be hopeless without it.It never established morality, and the way we can deduce this is simple: from where do religious morals come from? The culture which fostered and codified these beliefs. Religion would therefore not be a source of these morals, but a means to codify what was already established.I would also argue that religion can and has existed to oppress people and offer them no comfort, to keep them subjugated and helpless as rigid class structures were made to be accepted as immutable.As science progresses we are able to create explanations and ethics. This does not, however, completely eliminate the need for religion. I can't say what exactly will need to be structured in order for religion to not be necessary, anymore, but we will know when Atheism/Agnosticism and anything NOT religious is dominant (like Deism and shit like that).The west is experiencing this now, we are nearing the end of western Christianity and that is why evangelicals and the Catholic church are so desperate to recruit.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

The west is experiencing this nowBut are non-religions dominant?not just yet.As I've said, when religion is no longer needed, we will see it through a natural process.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

But are non-religions dominant?not just yet.That's the tricky thing. What we have is a range of beliefs, the extreme non-belief end is atheism, but in the middle there are lots of irreligious people out there who say they believe in god but hate organised religion. If you combine these two then the population is definitely larger than the fundamentalist minority which is desperate for a return to the dark ages. It is probably also larger, or rivaling the size of the population which believes in oraganised religion.As I've said, when religion is no longer needed, we will see it through a natural process.I agree.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?

Religion is the monster under the bed that our parents tell us will devour us f we don't go to bed. It's necessary but it can't fill it's promises. How rarely do we see a man struck down after committing a sin. Moreover we're told that if we commit a sin we will go to purgatory unless we ask for forgiveness which is up to whoever can say they we're called by god to do a job. Americans are in the stage where the intellectuals are finally starting to see the necessity for going to sleep and not needing a scary monster to force them. They know they need the sleep and they know the monster isn't real, or doesn't effect them. Of course there are still remnants in the easily persuaded and That's scary. These people believe in the monster but their interpretation of its ideals are twisted. Basically, they base their sense of right and wrong on something that will forgive them as long as they listen to a man prattle about his personal thoughts once a week.

2 of which Americans are 14.3 trillion dollars in debt to because they have more self control than us. You can't say that a country is evil because they disagree with democracy. Communism can be very efficient so long as you're working towards a cause that everyone believes in. In fact many would argue America has communist aspects primarily welfare. The idea behind communism is very benevolent as well. It's a community of people supporting every member. You do this in America when you pay taxes that go to people on welfare. The only difference in communism is that everyone is on welfare and all your money goes to welfare. This is appropriate in some places. I being an objectivist (take the time to look it up it's not what it sounds like) dislike the idea of serving a purpose in life other than pursuing my own happiness free of the burdens of others.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

I'm not into religion at all, but I don't think we'd be better off without it. If we didn't have religion...can you imagine a life where no one followed a religion? It would be complete a catostrophe. There'd be nothing to look forward to, nothing to really believe in, no faith, no hope of any kind. We wouldn't really have any idea of why or how we got here or anything. There would be a lot of lose ends on everything. That's just my opinion though.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

I believe a world without religion is a suicidal world. Without religion, people would be impulsive and not care about anything. I have morals and values that my religion helps me stay focused on. Without it, I'd be suicidal.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

Nope...Cz religion is not just worship more likely a way of Life!!! To do wat is right and wat is wrong, well that also differ from religon to religion, But A life with no Religion means no RULES and Chaos and people are Lost!! Life with religion creates more war and does not settle diffrence, Since religion teaches you to not to discriminate etc...(You know the drill) Its chaos is better than the chaos of NO RELIGION AT ALL!! cz u have something to settle things with, and rules of respect to follow.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

If you have nothing to believe in, then what's the point? Why would you be a good person in life if you didn't believe that it would pay off in the end? Religion isn't the only thing that causes war. Differing political ideologies too. Would the world be better without those too? There's more than one way to skin a cat.

in the beginning there was anarchy.then came a system devised so cleverly as topromote peace.it was als designed to allow people of different races,backgrounds and culture relate peacefully.over time,more uses have emanated from it.it has been seen to bring love to a broken family,to bring joy to the lonely man and to give hope to the orphan children.it is an invaluable part of society which must never be rejected.
