Should religion be banned? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Caprice so freedom of religion....but ones who believe in Sharia law...those ones are not allowed...correct?

You realize that there are places in the world where the government is run by religious beliefs. Things like stonings and honour killings are government sanctioned. The people who believe in this system do not recognize any other system.

So how can we allow people in who believe that, and still retain our "freedom of religion" rule??

We have a problem

I never said I believed in freedom of religion. You said that. I said religion and government should be separate.
But yes, if your religion requires honor killings and stoning, then my opinion is that it should be banned. ANY religion that self governs rather than recognize the established laws of a secular government should not be tolerated. This is not a one world nation now, and it never will be. You know why? Religion.@Mongoheadmonster

@Caprice freedom of religion....the Constitution says that. Freedom of religion in Canada is a constitutionally protected right, allowing believers the freedom to assemble and worship without limitation or interference.

So then does it need revised? 🤔 I think it does

@SW-User no. But we should ban the forcing of democracy on places where it isn't welcome.

@Mongoheadmonster How would you enforce that?

@Tastyfrzz will you care if any of those beliefs negatively impact your rights and life???

They really shouldn't if they keep them private.

@Tastyfrzz but they don't and they won't...

@JustinOnTheRoad Religion is merely the language that people use to express what is fundamentally inexpressible.

@Mongoheadmonster 🤔

@Mongoheadmonster

Not so sure, I believe that's incorrect.

@revenant
Not at all, unless you are muslimies lol

@TheeOriginalAmazingsEXLover wait another month

@revenant
Will you dye your hair black and all? 😉 my type of lady lol!

@Mongoheadmonster It also needs to be written into law so that fundamentalist Christians can’t rob citizens of their rights as well. I don’t know if you’re aware of various “Freedom of religion” statutes that have popped up all over the country, but especially in the south and Midwest, spelling out that businesses can refuse to provide services based upon religious beliefs. Someone refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple is one thing, but companies refusing to include contraception in the healthcare packages of their employees, is another, and the proposal that doctors, attorneys, police, firefighters, etc., should have similar latitude based upon religious belief is when it becomes truly frightening. These people are already here and fully supported by the current administration.

@bijouxbroussard....well then maybe banning all religion isn't such a stupid idea then

@bijouxbroussard if the children can't play nice, then maybe they shouldn't be allowed to play that game anymore

@SatanBurger I agree with a lot of what you say, yet I do not believe it is enough. Yes banning doesn't make sense, yet without some way to limit religion those of zealous beliefs will get into office and therefore attempt to change the laws more towards their religious beliefs. Also in democracy one group of religious people can vote for candidates that are aligned towards their own beliefs. All it would take is a majority. This is the situation we in the U.S. are in today. And why there has never been a none- Christian president. Just look at the uproar that was made when some thought Obama was a Muslim even though it was not true.

@DeWayfarer You are right, it's partially one of the major pitfalls of a democratic society is that we are often held hostage by a majority.

This is what some are warning us about. I forget what it's called but it's a non hostile takeover. Slowly building numbers up until they can put their own people in charge....

@Cmstars
HAHA, he's a lunatic!

@ozgirl512 wmd ?

@ozgirl512 shit nevermind... I got it 😉

@Karmalives weapons of mass destruction

@CountScrofula was it money that sparked the modern day jihad in the late 1970s? No it wasn't. The modern jihadist movement emerged when several groups began campaigns to overthrow the Arab World's regimes and establish Islamic states.

@Speedyman Atheism is a religion.

@Whatcha no...it's a serious question.

@Emosaur You obviously don't know much about religion...most religions have basic teachings in peace, love, and harmony. And yes some have teachings in fighting and war...but that is the manmade additions to it and it is the PEOPLE who teach it and follow it who decide how it is followed, not the religion itself. To say otherwise is denying human and personal responsibility.

@Emosaur But ban it, and it would go underground and become even more extreme.
