    Default WORST religion

    Allright: what do you think is the worst religion that you know about? And maybe the best, if you like any of them. I'm not going to tell you what my opinion in that is, it would make the thread look biased. I like Sikhism. I think like it's policy on beards, and carrying a knife is a good idea, makes it easier to protect yourself. It doesn't teach you to be aggresive, but encourages you to defend yourself. Any sikhs here? Tell me and +rep

    It seems to.

    But I'll answer anyway...

    I would say Christianity, because of a big lack of knowledge on the history of the religion itself. Most Christian cant tell you the story of Christianity. And many don't Romans and Greeks wrote the new testament. So they are easy to fool when they they don't know anything, and mostly when they show them to don't look further.

    I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.

    You're full of... "nonsense".

    Get your face out of the Da Vinci code or whatever trash it is you're reading.

    You know, I'm fairly sure human sacrifices in America were pretty damn bad compared to anything old world religions were doing at the time.

    Worst religions = Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, not in that order as all are equally terrible. All promote intolerance by enforcing the ideal of one supreme God, as this leaves no room for others gods or beliefs and each has a different view of their respective God, creating tension amongst one another. These three are the masters of disaster when it comes to religious conflict.

    Best religion = Hellenic polytheism. Many gods, tolerance towards other cultures with different gods and beliefs. Spawned no religious wars. Inspires people to live life to the fullest.

    I think you're quite right when you say they are not equally terrible, I think they complete each other in some ways (Not all)

    Every religion is equally poor. Every religion arrogantly believes it knows what God wants, everyone religion is naturally ignorant and reactionary. Every religion has caused unmeasurable amounts of death, and prejudice. Organized religion is inherently flawed, now believing in God itself is fine. But No, how can I say whats worse? Radical Islam or medieval Christianity, perhaps Aztec? They all had their faults, they all caused death, they are all to blame.

    Warm. I'd say any religion based on human sacrifice (don't give me the Abrahamic religions, none of them is based on sacrifice).

    While most religions do have many negative aspects.

    I think the worst religion though would be satanism, it is a religion designed ONLY to offend and promote conflict with another religion.
    The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...

    Under the perspicacious and benevolent patronage of the great and honorable Rez and a member of S.I.N


    He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

    Well.. many of the threads here are just trying to prove one/all religion wrong, and they don't get closed.

    I hope you can be mature (maybe I'm not the right one to say that - 15 years old ) and be tastefull when you critique other people's religion.

    Best: Any religion that worships the Sun. The Sun is cool

    Worst: Any religion that commends you what to do, instead of suggesting you.

    The Aztec are at the top of my list, just due to the incredibly savage nature of the rituals. Sure the Romans killed so many animals and humans in their gladiator fights, but that's just their culture, not part of the religion. The Aztecs ritually murdered tens of thousands of people to please a god.
