Religion
Right, I've got nothing to do apart from talk to people over MSN, so I think I will have a go at Religion, specifically Christianity (letters to the usual address).
Firstly, Hell. Now, I'm told that hell is not a nice place and unless I believe I'm going to burn. This is what I don't understand about religion. You can't get to Paradise without believing in God, no matter how nice you are. And then there are the different denominations. Which is right?
Next: religion just isn't good for humanity. Jihad, a very bloody business and caused by religion. Crusades, an even bloodier business and caused by religion. And then there are the people who kill for their religion, like people who kill family planning doctors...
Now, moving very swiftly on to abortion. What's the problem with it? Surely it would be better for a woman to have a child when it can be supported and have a decent life, as opposed to forcing babies on teenagers and rape victims who might not be ready or even able to support a child. Should we really be letting an extreme right-wing religious group dictate our policy to us, like they are in America?
And then there's AIDS. Now, the Catholic church believes that contraception is bad (why?) and therefore shouldn't be used. Well, maybe if condoms were used we wouldn't get as much AIDS in the world. Makes sense doesn't it? Why doesn't the Catholic church think logically.
And then there's the Holocaust. The Vatican supported it. Yes they did, they actually signed a pact with Hitler saying so. And they call abortionists Nazis.
So, do we ned organised religion, or should we just tell people to be nice to each other, which is the basic message of every religion (Satanism excepted). Like I said, letters to the usual address.

now i know why we're friends :P
Really? Why?
I could have written that myself :) e3xcept the part about jihad... because jihad is an inner struggle... technically Al Quaeda are wrong to call their agression a jihad.
Juhad is not restricted to inner struggle. It can mean that, but not exclusively. Gi through your third form RS notes again.
