I Would Like to See Religion Wiped Off the Face of the Earth

Even this heading is a challenge to some, why? I would like to see an end to religious clashes and suffering in its name, but to put it as the heading suggests, is in itself warlike.

To clarify my comment, I just find the heading challenging to human nature, I am not in any way inflicting my views.

You can't have religion wiped out completely if you don't offer an alternative.

@SW-User A simple thing called humanity, easy to practice, at minimal cost to the world.

@Uncfred I understand all that and I agree with you, but that alone doesn't easily convince the millions of people who believe in religion. It offers them necessary things that other means have failed to provide; a sense of hope, a purpose, comfort in the face of death and meaninglessness and above all a sense of belonging. Humanity is a noble concept, but it doesn't necessarily have the organized teachings of those things that religion has.

@SW-User You have obviously thought about it, but I think that in time people would see the benefits of peace and cooperation. But then there are also the racists who would find something to fight about.

@Uncfred Maybe they will, I hope they do, but seeing the world today doesn't really help that hope grow.

@SW-User Too true honey, but I just wish that people would read my words in the context they were written

@Uncfred Look...you don't have the courage of your convictions that's YOUR problem, not mine. You wrote it, now own it.

@Abrienda Now tell me what I have written, it does not take courage.
