Religion is the entire reason anyone goes to war. Take the Quran for example. The entire reason for terrorists attacking countries. Homophobic notions, disrespect for women. All from religion. Problems with same sex marriage when marriage was a law built on the foundation of religion. racism is also an example stemming from religion. Whats the point of making the oath in court if your an atheist I wonder? It's ironic England has almost stopped believing in religion completely, and has acquired more peace and freedom than the United states. Especially since The US was founded while trying to obtain freedom of religion from England. Religion is just a conglomeration of preists and believers who just want to sit on their asses for a living, get high, and accept death.

@sexysam I meant all reigion really but the most current problems are from the Quran because it's still taken so seriously. All it takes is a priest interpreting the bible a certain way and oh boy it's a big deal now. Did you hear about that noahs ark movie? They wanted to put it in the "Historical" genre. WTF? bullshit

its both. Religion can give people hope. It can give them faith. It can give them happiness and a lot of people wouldn’t have it without religion. Religion can also cause hate. Religion can cause people to believe that they’re in control of the bodies/lives of others. Religion can take lives.

all the religious crap i've studied over the years... i'm leaning towards 'bad influence'.
any 'classism' is not good, to separate peoples into categories and 'formulas' is not working out too well.

Bad. It’s a cult used for control and mass brainwash. It needs to be abolished. As in no people should be allowed to practice religion. It causes so much problems.

@MsAnnThropy how can anyone abolish religion? Is there a law? Is there an amendment or an article in the Constitution to counter it?

@sexysam Tribal, adj. "of or characteristic of a tribe or tribes."

@bijouxbroussard again, your term..tribalism!! Use any dictionary you want to...
bijouxbroussard · F
@sexysam this is the definition I meant by the term: "the behavior and attitudes that stem from strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group."
You replied,
"Educated people" do use dictionaries. That definition isn't in them, because it's a stereotype.
You replied,
For an educated person, tribals are ppl living in forests or unearthly place (human terms)

It's what you make it. Meaning, how you practice it. Just like everything else.
