Religion needs immediate extermination

[florida.blanca]

---

let me ask you questions..were you baptized with a religion? if yes, then why still make this thread about religion needing to be diminished or as what you say, needs immediate extermination?? if no, it still goes the same way as 'yes'.. if religion has been here ever since the Lord came down to this earth, then why is it that you only want to take action on getting rid of it now? the topic here is just nonsense for me.. i'm not being personal it's just to senseless to put up this topic even if you know that you can never get rid of religion..

let me just give you some examples of the different kinds of religion here on earth..
*catholic
*born-again
*protestant
*mormons
*iglesia ni cristo
*agnostics
*athieists
*scientology
*and many more....

which one is your religion? so if you are planning to put topics like what you just posted, you should know better...

first off.. agnostic and atheist are not religions

so there's no sense in arguing with you coz you consider those religious views as "religions" though they aren't

and if you haven't read the reason why i posted on here the reason why religion needs immediate extermination, then basaha!

isn't it obvious why i called religion as a pest?

the hypocrisy and idiocy has made a lot of people unaware that what they're doing for their religion is simply preposterous!

ikaw ray murag nonsense diri

and one more thing, religion preaches a God who permits the killing of a son, stoning to death of a person with no apparent reason, and teaches that God permits the abuse of woman!

and if you'll ask history gurus, they have to agree that religion has done more evil than good

if you're still in the state of denial, hala pabilin mo mga ignorante!

if you exterminate the true religion..then you can do anything you want to do...because if walay religion wala sad hell or heaven..
You can have 11 wives without marrying any of them and its ok..wala bitaw hell its ok..
Pwede ra nimo pasagdan imo anak basta sustintuan lang ok ra....wala silay disiplina.
Pwede rako mangawat sa tago wala bitaw makakita...
Pwede ra nako pistipistihun ako mga ginikanan as long as dili nako sila dapatan ok ra....
Pwede rako mag imagine sa amo silingan nga girl then mag masturbate ko...ok ra.. Wala bitaw ginoo nga nakakita...

if thats the case unsa kaha ka gubot ang kalibutan samot!!!

Ang sakto ana bro or sis!! Exterminate the false religion.. How do we distinguish between false and true.. Its up for to know naa man ta manual ana. Gawas kung gahi mo ug ulo bisan gi sagpa na sa ilang nawng ang kamatuoran gahi gyud kaau ug ulo..

Religion man inyo pasanginlan nga ang mga taw nga mga gahi ug ulo man ang nakapasamok sa kalibutan..

Ka nindut uroy sa kalibutan kung ni tou lang ta sa tinoud nga sugo sa ginoo nato kay puro gyud to sa kaayuhan sa katawhan...

Dili to puro pangwarta...

Your religion has convinced you that you are incapable of doing good without it.

You forget that religion is merely a guide... always remember... it's ONLY a guide to those who need to be guided... in the same way laws of the state and social structures guide people through their lives.

Why is it that people in other countries live moral and good lives despite not having religion?

killing of a son: God gave up His Son to save us from sins. Are you familiar of the Holy Trinity? It means they are one.

Stoning to death with no apparent reason: after the disobedience of man, God already told us that one day, His Son will come and save us

teaches that God permits the abuse of what?!: clearly you don't know my God

It's funny that people always try to question our religion and yet they don't even know about it. Mystery... isn't religion suppose to be that way? If we are able to explain everything then we don't need a God anymore. So we don't need religion. Our religion has always been based on our faith. Clearly you don't know what you are talking about. People always criticize and judge us base on how they see our mistakes. Is that the way to know one's principle? judging the book by it's cover?

I may not have this super knowledge of RC but i do believe that you don't understand what you are saying. If you don't know about something of course you will judge it by the way you have seen it.

Our religion has never ever told us to commit sin instead to refrain ourselves in committing sin and love one another. Faith, hope and love. A strong faith that no one can ever question, a hope that never stops and love that does not ask for something in return. I am not telling you that this is the best and this is real because for you it is not but for me it is how i live my life.

It's really easy for you to say we are ignorant but honestly, you don't know anything at all about our religion.

true, some people make religion an avenue through which they impose their beliefs on others.. but religion isn't supposed to be like that.. it's supposed to guide, not to dictate.. but what is happening in the country now? i think religion is hindering progress. for this reason, i somehow agree with the TS. but take note i said somehow, because i think religion, in its true sense, is a guiding light for us all, and serves as reinforcement of universal values - empathy, humanity, compassion, etc..

by the way, i notice some people here nga mu-react as if ang TS is an atheist.. being against religion does not make one an atheist.. you can still be spiritual, moral, and ethical, even without religion.

atheist siya doc, naa sa questions for the atheist nga thread

ang problema man gud ma'am, the catholic church is instructing the state what bills to pass and not!

dili pa ba evident nga ang religion nagspeak for the state?

example, catholic church

nagsigig panghilabot sa mga issues regarding the RH Bill and the Divorce Bill.

as a matter of fact, di naman ni sila dapat manghilabot, provided nga ang nabutang sa declaration of state and policies nga inviolable ang separation sa church ug state! pero ngano hilig man jud makisawsaw ang simbahan? just because we were once dominated by the catholic church and the spaniards before? c'mon! we know a lot of people are educated and unlike before who were deprived of education!

ang ako lang, gibuhat na sa estado kung unsay angay para natong mga citizens aning nasura! pero way laing mukuntra, ANG SIMBAHAN!

isn't it obvious nga NAGDALA RA JUD NI SILAG PAMUYSIT? with no apparent reason! mao na diha run! that's the reason why these CBCP guys and other sects who oppose the state and its plans be exterminated. because the catholic church itself is violating Art. 2 Sec. 6 of our constitution!

obvious na, apparent pa jud!

It is obvious, no doubt about that.

I think we are on the same boat in thinking that the representatives of the Catholic Church are using their influence as religious leaders to convince the Filipino people to join them on their opposition to the very controversial RH and Divorce Bills, correct? But the thing is, they're not just religious leaders, they're also citizens of the Republic of the Philippines and they too have the right to Freedom of Speech/Expression. Silencing those leaders in a matter so tender as this violates this human right. That's why the government (no matter how much they want to) can never ask those ridiculously influential citizens to shut up.

My second point is that (suppose in an alternate universe we eliminate religion altogether), majority of the Filipino people simply do not have the capacity to decide on political issues like these. I'm talking about the fishermen, farmers, and housewives who didn't even make it to high school, let alone college.

What they do have though is faith in God. A devotion so strong that they'd wish that while praying God would answer them back. Obviously God doesn't do this (that would be crazy), so they resort to the leaders for answers. What the leaders say to them almost often sounds divine.

Basically if we asked these fishermen, farmers and housewives anything about politics without religious influence, their answers would most likely be "I don't know" or "I'll leave it up to the leaders to decide". What I'm saying is religion or no religion, the answers will probably be the same.

My third point, in defense of the religious ones, extermination may be the wrong word. Religion serves a lot of other purposes, one being a coping mechanism for those who struggle or are in crisis. I'm sure everyone here has been in this kind of state before, and I'm pretty much sure too that some of them like to confess, hear mass, talk to a priest or a nun, or simply sit quietly in an empty chapel. Why? It helps them feel better, somehow. Now in a society like ours, this may be the only thing that's keeping those people together in one piece, and to take that away is not gonna help.

Let's face it. Wala naman tayong magagawa eh. Best thing we can do is to make the most educated decision we can make for ourselves.

Puno' man na'g fairy tales imong storya.

If God is all three (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) then he sort of faked his own death by sending himself (son) then dying and returning (holy spirit).

You basically said that since you can't explain everything, thats the reason why you need God and religion to exist.

Don't you see religion was created by man out of his ignorance and inability to comprehend the world around him? Religion is yet another attempt of man to explain the mystery of our existence.

The problem is the methods religion uses are very outdated in today's times. Science is a more tried and tested method because first and foremost it does not claim to explain everything and its structure is based on continuous revision and improvement of theories... vs. religion which has static beliefs that claim to explain everything.

Coping mechanism.... like opium?

Is this also the reason why religion is not as influential in educated, progressive and wealthy countries?

I hope it's not religion who drove you into this... peace and love

Religion is created by people, if needed to be exterminated then you have to annihilate the people... but obviously we can't exterminate the people... because it's morally wrong and against human law.

it's not the religion, it's the people...
