U may think u embarrassd Angela but knw dis that u also did same 2 urself. U shld hav told ha privately or politely nt makin it sound epileptic. Note dis F G and Co.
Hi all
I thought that this thread is dead?
Anyways going by the defnition of religion by "Clifford Geertz"
"Religion is a cultural system that creates powerful and long-lasting meaning, by establishing symbols that relate humanity to beliefs and values"
Then religion is not evil. period.
I posted a Blog - Religion & Politics Are The Two Most Evil Creation By Man in March 2011. You can check it out on this page. This is from my book "SHINE YOUR EYES MAMA AFRICA". You may be able to read some excerpts from the book on the Internet if you google it. Regards

Hi Gavin
Every aspect of human endeavor there is a benefit. The key is to have a clear paradigm shift. Avoid excess.
It all comes down to rationality .. As a boy growing up in Extreme religions Catholic church. There are down sides like
the fear of Hell and the profit of heaven.. But there are also the good side.. like the social work.. feeding the poor helping the elderly .
The issue here is the excess.. Beer is good.. but if your drink too much it is bad for your health ..
Now I replace my morning prayers with Yoga and meditation.. and I still feel the same..
too much of everything is bad, be it religion, sex, music, love, money... etc..
I guess the understanding depends on the level of education..

THAT IS CORRECT. RELIGION IS THE METHOD BY WHICH PEOPLE SERVE/WORSHIP THEIR GODS. FAITH HAS BEEN CONFUSED WITH RELIGION AND THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS.
IT IS LIKE PDP IS YOUR RELIGION HENCE YOU BELONG TO THE PDP MOVEMENT AND YOU WANT TO KEEP ENLARGING YOUR MEMBERSHIP BASE.
THIS IS WHAT RELIGION IS, WITH THE DIFFERENT FAITHS TRYING TO ENLARGE THEIR MEMBERSHIP BASE; IT IS A MOVEMENT JUST LIKE POLITICAL PARTIES AND IT IS EXPLAINED IN THE BLOG I POSTED ABOUT IT, WHERE YOU WILL SEE THE SIMILARITY.

Religion in itself is not evil, but most people that practice Religion are evil.
As many of us have agreed in this forum, that religion is not evil, it was a very good decision.
I hope that each and everyone of us can take responsibility for our action, and do the right thing in our daily life.
