There was a perfect god then the world would be perfect and there would be no wars or violance.

That's not necessarily true. If you are perfect, will your children be? Not quite, your partner might not be perfect and add flaws.

I don't think religions are bad, I think the people who try to force them upon other people are bad. As I said before, I think the quote was simply referring to the change from faith to logic.

Yes. God is dead. Religion is useless. It has no purpose (both God and religion). It is basically a way of control or a cure for insecurity (life after death, or the uknown) that humans have, because humans are weak minded, to some extent even more-so than other creatures because they dont have religion.

Religion is the root of all evil and the solution for it. By creating a non-existant super-being we have screwed ourselves into wars, agression, hate, and violence; the things religion was suppose to take care of.

If you believe in something that you cannot prove until you are dead, personally I think you are insane... Literally you have no sense, no will of your own, or no coherent thought what so ever.

Religion has caused so much trouble, so much anger, so much death. You cannot outweight the cons of religion with pros. It is impossible. For every life it "saves" it kills 100 more people.

See how angry I'm getting over it, and I dont even follow it? This is senseless, mindless garbage. If I could describe religion, I would use one word:
Evil.

Science cannot explain love, but people have and do die for it.

And you wont ever know if it exists or not, even if you die. It is an unexplainable part of LIFE. Not DEATH. You have to DIE before you can know if what you have believed all your LIFE exists or not, if this super-being called God exists or not (once you've DIED, if I haven't mentioned it). Love is something of LIFE. You actually feel it, and know it exists, while still ALIVE.

Look, I'll sum it up for you.
Love = you HAVE to be ALIVE in order to know if it exists or not
God = you HAVE to be DEAD in order to have complete proof if he exists or not

Everyone is entitled to believe in whatever they want, but facts are facts. Religion is a problem. Its a huge problem.

I think it has no purpose today.. but religion is why we are as we are right now (thanks god im me!) religion is now useless.. but it wasnt when it was created..

this is easy to prove because the human never created a totally useless thing..

(yeah i know this is pretty tempty to reply to this one by naming something useless.. but think more before replying ok.. and ull understand (i hope)

Yes, science can explain love.. (personally i cant (sorry) but i know science explains it.. theres nothing like "inexplicable" or stuff.. everything has a meaning.. sometimes its just over the capacities of average people.. thats all..

Proof that religion is corrupt and evil? Show me where in the bible (or in any religious text) with those one liners that promote corruption and evil.

Don't give me that "It caused the crusades and all that stuff" crap, because we've already established that it is the corrupt people that cause this to happen. They can twist ANYTHING and make it bad. Oh but you want to get rid of religion so that this doesn't happen right? Well if we want to get rid of religion just because it causes all sorts of corruption and all that stuff, we might as well get rid of everything else 100x more destructive in our lives, like money. Yes, we might as well throw our lives out the window while we're at it.

Please, if you're going to hate religion, at least find valid reasons to do so. Like what are some "valid" reasons you might ask? Such as religious people constantly trying to shove their beliefs down your throat? That's a good reason for you to have such hostile feelings for religion. If not, then just shut up.

See this is what seperates you and me. Religious people and non. We feel God around us (or at least I do) and I love having that feeling. When you go to church, you are in God's house, and the feeling is even stronger in there.

You can't just walk into a church and be like "Mmmmm ok Im not feeling anything"

its more deep then that, you got to really want to be close to God in order to feel him. Most atheists don't understand this concept, and have not attempted to.

You "feel" God all around you? You still dont have definite proof that he exists.

Religion is the root of all evil. It corrupts people, twists them and contorts them. It controls people and uses people. People are evil, and look who created religion. People did. Thus, religion is evil. Dont give me the bullcrap that, "RELGION ISN'T EVIL. ITS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE EVIL". We are the people! WE ARE EVIL! RELIGION WAS CREATED BY EVIL PEOPLE.
