20 Young People Who Believe Marriage Should Be Between One Man And One Woman

[Lockard 23]

Religion can be used for some people as a way to cope with the stresses of life. They don't walk around and preach it, and they certainly do not judge others if they do not believe the same -- is that still nonsense to you? I'm just curious and I'm not attacking, but I've not really seen many people argue against those who use religion to better themselves as individuals (love thy neighbour for example), help other people in the right way, and to help them cope with life.

Religion is more than reading a book and absorbing that information.

I'm judging religion by what I've read in the religious texts themselves and not by anything else. If no one in the world practiced or believed in any religion, I would still hold the same opinion of it.

People can find inspiration through all sorts of things, whether it be art, religion, spirituality (somewhat separate from religion) or whatever. Still doesn't change the fact that so much of what is written in religious texts is oppressive, offensive, barbaric, outdated, and sometimes just plain silly. The philosophical views of morality are ok for the most part, but the supernatural aspect of it is pretty fantastical, and even that probably isn't a strong enough word for it.

Religions like Scientology and Mormonism also have people whose lives have been bettered by it and there's even groups out there that represent these religions that help others. Yet people laugh at both of them the first chance they get. Explain that one to me. Look at how people laugh at Tom Cruise or how his reputation has taken a bit of a hit just by being a Scientologist. I've even seen people breathe a sign of relief when they find out that so and so in Hollywood isn't a Scientologist like they were rumored to be (like Will Smith, for example.)

I don't think anyone has even remotely said that the nonsense that is written in religious texts is justified, but the idiocy written in certain parts doesn't mean the whole religion is a fad and that inspiration from religion is somehow wrong. Hitler could write a book on being a leader, and while we would all disagree with a lot of his views, you could still take a lot of what he did as a leader and put it into practise because many people don't deny that he was in fact a great leader. We're going off-topic here, but yeah, I wouldn't generalise religion if I was you. It comes with the bad stuff, but there is plenty of good stuff about it if absorbed correctly.

Stop blaming everything on Religion. If people are bad that's their own faults. Not religions.

If he wants to add anything he'll find the thread lol, no need for random tags :dawg:

 

[Stopspot]

Couldn't you have just tagged Saylor in a separate post instead? This isn't the first random spamtagging you have done today Ambrose.

 

[Swift]

He's always tagging me for no fucking reason. Getting annoying.

This shit again!?

Come on now..

Love is love. Whether it's man on man, man on woman or woman on woman.

Love isn't something you take away from a person.
Everyone has love for people if the same gender as themselves.
It's not a shame when a son loves his dad, or a daughter loves her mother, but when two people of the same sex have feelings for eachother, it's wrong.

Friendships, relationships, partnerships, you name it. All of them have some love involved. Just think about it.

Bottom line is that I respect the people who come out for being who they are. If you are gay, straight, bi, tall, short, big, small, fat or thin, if you are being yourself and come out for your rights and beliefs, you got my respect..
