Destroy All Religion

I believe the problem with the world and especially the US is the presence of religion. All religion does is promote hate, greed and get the Republican Party reelected. So I think we can all agree that we must get rid of all religion, especially the worst one of Christianity, but the question is how?

Here is my proposal. I find that weak people often turn to religion to 'ask' their God for things like daily bread or healthcare problems. So if government provides us all with free healthcare, free food and everything else free than people will realize that it is government that solves their problems, not some stupid god like Jesus Christ that never answers their troubles. Thus as government grows, religion contracts, look around the world and see that more government societies have less religion.

This is why I urge you all to vote for John Kerry, he will make things more free like free universal healthcare and free college education. His proposals are a good step in my opinion in ridding the world of all religion and faith, as like I just said people will look to government more for answers.

We all know religion is the root of all problems in this country, join me and vote Democrat so we can all move to a better world of no religion.

I am of the mindset that the more the government gets involved in my life, the worse off I actually am.

Look at it....everything the government gets involved in is a total disaster. Do I want them dictating how I get medical treatment? Hardly.

Do I want the government saying where and how my children should be taught? Never. Guidelines are one thing, but taking away my freedom to choose where I would send my child is just wrong.

That is just the tip of the iceberg as well.

Really? Kerry has promised free healthcare and free college education? Just FYI, free in terms of liberal Democrats actually translates to "paid for by those who work for a living".



Also FYI, John Kerry is an avowed Roman Catholic who claims that he believes life begins at conception (although granted he believes it ought to be up to anyone who feels like it to snuff that life right out...)

Sorry, go left not directed at you, just responding to this quote-"weakens the growth of government"? Hallelujah! Religion or no religion, anything that weakens the growth of gevernment is a-ok in my book. Your argument sounds a bit fascist to me-Hitler disliked religion for the very same reason.

Ok I used to feel that way too. I agree with you in that some religions are just and using people to further their agenda, numbers, rather than people. Ok fair enough. But, I also believe that Religion is a good thing. I used to go around telling people that organized religion sucked. I thought that because of all the religions that were so "righteous", they would hand out paraphenelia telling people that they were going to die in a fiery pit of hell if they worshiped any way except for the way they do. I think those religions are all bottom feeders and that most of them are just waiting to drink the kool-aid, if you know what I mean. I figured that caused wars. But I know now that no war happens in the US over religious issues, the real GOD is money. that is why we have wars for profit. If religion was as stong as all that, we woudl have waged a civil war over abortion years ago. People don't like it, and hey, they are entitled, but aside from a few fanatics, no religion has ever condoned measures as far as individuals have taken it on thier own. So, Fanatics suck. I will keep on saying that.

BUT... I think that religion is not all bad, in fact, I believe that for some it shows a serious strength. I have come to know a lot of religious people in my life, and found that they are more thoughtful than I though I could not see that at first glance.

This is obviously a troll thread started by a troll.

It's funny how many of you are taking it seriously!
