I propose we ban religion. Aslong as people still can't normally/peacefully co-excist, I say we ban religion.
Not because I have a problem with religion per se, I have the greatest respect for people who believe in whatever they believe, but the problem is, humanity as a whole.
We all pretty much know, that over the course of human history, nothing comes even close to a cause of wars, bloodshed, torturing people because they were "different" and who knows whatever reasons/causes in name of their gods.
The problem lies within our extremely low tolerance for others. And it is in that, that I believe that religions are just fuel for the fires. We alraedy discriminate enough as it is based on sex or skin color as it is. Think about the current hate of the islam going through the world, simply because we needed a scape goat. Something bad happened, though there may be people involved who share a common religion, the world now turns an evil eye to them.
But incidentally, alot of people at the same time, are also doing thigs for this religion. They are willing to die for their "god", even if it is under false premises. And that's scary. People who will blindly throw away their lives, for a promise of glory in the name of their god.
But there's also a huge other problem I have with, for example, the bible.
But for this example, I'd also like to bring in the one most important law we have. We have the right to be who we want to be, with the freedom of speech, original thought and all that comes with it. One important rule applies, you should not insult/hurt anyone in any possible way (discrimination for example) with this. We're allowed to have those thoughts, but aslong as we remain civil about it, it's okay.
That also brings us too part two, people also have the freedom to practice religion, aslong as this doesn't interfere with formely mentioned.
HUGE PROBLEM.
It actually says in the bible, that it is sinfull to share a bed with someone of the same gender. Discrimination, based on who a person actually is. And people cling so desperatly to this, they pay no mind to other people's feelings. They argue it's a mistake their all powerful God made, that they are imperfect creatures, in an otherwise imperfect world.
Here's a counter arguement, proving how narrowminded such vision is:
God actually shaped man in his own image. God has love for ALL of his creatures. If this is true, god is also homosexual, or at the very least, bisexual. You cannot say that God shaped us in his image, and then deny the fact that people created (also in this very same image), are simlpy a mistake of God.
Ironically, people who are homosexual, do believe in that very same god.
So where did this all go wrong?
The low tollerance, mankind suffers from.
And this brings me back to my original point, aslong as we cannot peacefully co-excist without religion, there shouldn't be any.
The moment we start apreciating others for who they are, stop judging them for who they are. Skin color, sexuality, sex, it should not matter.
So when we finally achieve this, maybe we can then we can truly apreciate a religion more.
