Why do you believe in religion?

[The Arkitekt]

I saw Religulous yesterday, it was mad funny (the Scarface clip LOL) and it made a shitload of good points that were true... especially the end.

 

[Relic]

Someone name a war in which religion wasnt a huge factor..

 

[Kontents]

^^^^
War on Drugs. lmao!

 

[The Arkitekt]

lolol

 

[Sucio]

The Korean War? Vietnam?


I don't remember anything religious about those conflicts.....But I could be wrong....

 

[5th Sequence]

If you liked religulous, I highly recommend The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Awesome book.

Wish I hadn't missed this thread till this late, but my arguments have already been said by others.

Wish I had time to read all of these 7 pages lol damn. Props to people for remaining civil too.

Yea, I wouldnt think of Asians to start shit over religion. Although I think a good part of it is BS, Buddhism is like the only sensible religion



And 5th, i'll def peep that book if I get a chance

war is always political, religion is used as a weapon to get the people behind the political war.

I'm aware of that...

But I don't recall anything religious being discussed about those two conflicts.....

those were more to do with fighting communisn than religion, and communism is godless.

Fair enough, though they were based on a pretty misguided ideology which amounts to pretty much the same thing.

But yeah it's true not ALL wars are based on religion and some just use it as an excuse.
