Same old same old argument. "But tha crusades!!! de inquersition!! and the uh uh uh duh duh duh the Ireland!!"

123 out of over 1700 wars have been caused by religion, and war is the greatest problem with the world despite it being necessary for we as the human race to evolve.
As well as that, other problems such as world hunger and poverty are mostly being solved by… religious charities? Yeah religion causes such a problem.

Think of it like this - Joseph McCarthy said Communism was the root of many problems in the world and the world would be better without it, and communism is an ideology like all religions, and you said Religion has been a root of many problems in this world and the world would be better without it. Basically you're a reverse McCarthy nice.



The torah is jewish law which is why it was made irrelevant upon Jesus' death on the cross.

What ever though grats on staff


You can't say religious because most religions now embrace science. Islam is really the only major religion that doesn't accept science. I mean look at Christianity (real Christianity like Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, not Protestants or Evangelists) and Hinduism are two of the three main major religions, and they have embraced science. Out of the top 5 even top 7 Islam is the only one to ignore science.

You're just making unjustified assumptions now.

I've already explained how your premises are wrong.
Are you saying that the Torah wasn't metaphorical before Jesus died on the cross? So the flood happened before he did and now it didn't? How the hell does this make any sense? You're positing reverse causality.


Edit (objection I): All it says is the old testament law is changed. Not the stories or ANYTHING. You have to remember a large portion of your religion are science denying young earth creationists. If it states it so blatantly then why does this sect exist?

Edit 2 (objection II): So you're saying that these deaths are ok?

Millions of people have died because of religion and in the name of religion.

Even though it shouldn't be our #1 goal of course imo I think the world would be better w/o it.

Edit 3 (objection III): It's funny because science is completely antithetical to religion and pretty much proves it all wrong. Nonetheless you are committing the no true scotsman fallacy here: I mean look at Christianity (real Christianity like Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, not Protestants or Evangelists)

regarding the wars, the crusades were justified
as were wars on protestant heretics
