Re: Trends in religion.

I dont have problems with all xxxs, my beef is with the zionists. Your statement there is in absolute terms which is typical of religous people but does not reflect reality. We Armenians are not in competition with the xxxs as a matter of fact we have much in common which should be used to build relations with our peoples. Zionists however are the scumm of the earth no better then fascist nazis were.

You just said you have a problem with organized religion. There is not a single group of people that are more organized on this planet than the J3ws.

Try this: Type J3wish organizations into google and take a look at how many (transparent and known) organizations exist. Good luck counting

Because Arabs have brains to and can figure out a bulls-h-i-t storry when they see one. Organized religion is one of the worst things ever created by man bringing him pain, suffering, wars, persecution and death. I hope it dies out fast everywhere good bye and good riddens!

You sound like the people who want guns to be banned. Just because some people who claim they follow a religion do evil things does not make the religion itself evil. If you are against only organized religion but do not mind personal religious/spiritual practice than you have a more legit point.

What if the religious texts prescribe these violent, "evil", things?

Prescribe and describe are worlds apart...

Read it in context both within the historical epoch in which the text(s) were first written, as well as the context within the wider passage/chapter.

Science will never provide all of lifes answers. And the majority of the worst dictators and mass killers of the 20th century were atheists. Food for thought.

I think in the US the younger generations are far less religio-nuts than the olders. Hopefully in a couple of generations we'll see this religion disease wiped out completely (localized and sporadic cancers will always remain in different shapes or forms but hopefully, at least systematically, we won't see religion as the core belief system anymore)

There seems to be a common theme among right wing rulers. That is, the cheapest way to control a poor population is with religion. I suspect the Republicans will take the helm after Obama's demise.

Yes, and the left wing panders to science/secularism and thinks that human beings can do anything. People can use any idea, no matter how noble, to do evil deeds. If a person has a negative or even evil agenda they will use whatever means they can to achieve their goals.

You think the "younger generation" are far less "religio-nuts" than older generations? Au contraire, mon frere! Have they truly given up "religion" or just traded the religion of their fathers for the new lie of materialism. The new materialism is even worse than the old materialism (communism); at least the communists on some level pretended like they were doing something good for the benefit of others. The new materialism is the religion of the self and we will be seeing and are seeing the fruits of this psuedo-religion today.
