I have heard many people feel as though religion is a good crutch for society. Even though they do not follow any religion. |

Mature manner? haha. Meh - I'd choose being immature over delusional any day. |

I would prefer a religiousless society. It encourages us to do very stupid things... first thing that comes to mind is the huge problem with HIV, largely caused by Catholicism still strongly enforcing the banning of condoms. |

A good crutch? All religion does is create more differences and seperate people. The only reason religion exists today (In the form it exists today) is because the rulers KNOW... They KNOW it creates differences and keeps people fighting other people. It also keeps peoples minds occupied and entertained so they, the rich, can slip out the back door with all the fucking money, while making even more money off religious institutions. The Catholics are part of, and fund, one of the richest institutions of modern day. You don't think there is some sort of business interest behind it? Of course there is! A handful of men are making money hand over fist! |

I also think, the world would be a better place without religion. |

I really don't get why so many religious people think atheists are out there to shun and degrade their beliefs. I don't need to find anything morally or ethically wrong with your beliefs to be an atheist; it's my philosophy, it's my religion. As long as you don't enforce yours onto others I'll leave your beliefs be. |

How you wish you could get away from the ultimate of truths. No man or men could have made this up. The reality in which we live is the same how else could we share eachothers thoughts. A lot of which we do is not controlled by or mind it is controlled by god. Who in the time before Christ would have had the wisdom to make ten commandments for all of humanity to follow and end up were we are now. At Least that's what I think. |

This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.

Yeah, I meant without the massive institutionalized organisations that tell others what to think and leave no room for any new findings or oppress those with different beliefs. I have absolutely nothing to say against anyone who believes in whatever god. I had been an atheist probably all my life, but I would not consider myself that anymore. But I'm not agnostic either.. somehow different. Anyhow.. I do think of myself as tolerant. But I also think that if there suddenly wouldn't be religion anymore, more problems would be solved than caused. But maybe I'm wrong |

Religion is just another label to smack on to someones forehead to further seperate people. It's used to divide up the rest of society. Religion is used as a barrier, and used as a lullaby to not question authority. |

And what's that? Are you really sure how they all felt? |

Not all of what was written for the bible is included in the bible...and in particular the birth of Jesus was written in a multitude of ways, and as was much of everything else about Jesus. The writings were written to try to make sure that Jesus "fulfilled" all of the prophecies of the messiah. The "birth" of Jesus had more than one version, and it they didn't include divinity nor virgin birth. |

Well, I have a pretty good idea from reading all the pretentious bullshit the bible entails. |

Nobody makes a choice to be delusional. Remember, your attitude makes a big difference. Being delusional is not an attitude to be conscious of. |

I'd like to highlight on one of your key ideas. "It's easy to exxagerate and dramatize" - I think you're finally getting the point man, congrats! But I'm going to assume you're going to stick with you're two thousand year old ideologies and label biblical scriptures as the only thing that isn't easily exxagerated and dramatized? |

Most likely made up, I wonder though did a great man named Jesus really exist? |
