look at religion over the years starting way back at medieval times the crusades or holy war caused many deaths all in the name of Christianity and that they killed people of other religion (i forgot the religion but i believe it was Muslim)in the name of there god and jumping back to modern times you can even base 9/11 on a religion if you can justify so is it not an honor to die suicide bombing or plane jacking if you can justify that you did it in the name of the Muslim god




so basically im looking for the opinion's of people on armor games do you think religion's worth it? please at least attempt to back up your answer

The bible isn't proof at all. You can't prove it's wrong, but then again, you can't prove that it's right. So where do you end up with this? Back where you started; two sides arguing to no end.

On a slightly different note, a lot of the things we (as a people in general) do on a daily basis revolves around some sort of religion.
-Want to get married? Got to do it with a Priest.
-Church every Sunday, why? I'm willing to bet half the 'church goers' dont want to be there.
-Pray before meals and before going to bed.
-Holidays; most originated from certain religions. (Christmas, Easter, etc)
[I seem to be bashing Christians, and I apologize, but it is the most dominant religion in the United States.]

They even turned the 'non-believers' a religion. Atheists, Atheism.

exactly lil gangsta 72 but if the majority of the troops are fighting due to the fact that they joined the fighting due to religion then isent religion playing a majority role in the war?

religion is abused by peoples everywhere.. i think that's what makes the &quotroblems" appear, if it seems like im trying to preach it to anyone, I'm not.

Well, it's more than you've got...

What "evidence" do you have against it?

Ok this is the only post I read in this whole thread, but I just have to say that that makes no sense at all. No proof either way is what whoever said that meant. You CANT prove the bible isn't true, he said "you can't prove it's wrong", can you read??

If another book existed for over 2000 thousand years, don't you think people changed stuff to make it sound better?

It isn't the religion! It's the people who were so radical, extreme and fanatic about their own religion who caused all the trouble.

That is true. Religion helped people have hope and fill their hearts with what (to me) are lies, so long as they comfort people. Religion is not bad, but as jahsonx said, it's the people who are so much in love with their religion as to go to war for their religion. In a way, it's both worth and not worth it. It really just depends on what your views of life are and your views on religion.
