I'm sorry, but most of you religion-bashers need to take a look at the real heart of religion. Even as an agnostic I can't find myself to see religion as a bad thing. Religion itself is a good thing. People, however, are the problem.
Well since religion is something invented and perpetuated by humans, it is fundamentally flawed. And not only that, religion does cause more human suffering than human contentment. Ppl have done unspeakable things in the course of human history in the name of their god or religion, felling justified because "their" "god" is obviously the right one. LOL Religion is another way to disassociate ourselves from one another and to judge and condemn each other because of petty differences such as spiritual ideals.
