4, you mean what attutide?

too much red, can`t help loving the colour :P

:lol: :lol: you're comparing one bad thing with another...all organized religions have been bad for a vast majority of humans! :confused: :/ only the leading 'lights' of these religions have profited. i'm not condoning hinduism or buddhism either. but at least there are no popes or kings that tell their people to fight a war in the name of religion...they're more humanistic. but, all the same, in the name of religion, hindus have caste system which is as bad as anything out there. :confused: :/ see, that`s why ppl should in my opinion be educated and be able to choose what they wanna believe in. so we can`t get rid of preachers or anyone who teaches the spiritual aspect of ourselves. that would lead to massive materialism. i`m not saying that priests aint rich but what they do and how they live shouldn`t interest any of us since we should concentrate on the knowledge they want to share with us. it`s like you`re being a fan of say coldplay, you like their music and listen to their lyrics but you shouldn`t be interested in any of the guys` personal life. or when for example your doctor smokes ciggs which is the opposite of what he tells you to stay healthy, he says steer clear of this shit while he breathes in himself but does that mean that he`s gonna prescribe you bad medicines when you`re ill? do the things he does when he`s home change the fact that he`s a good doctor and wants to help ppl? i`m not saying about criminal doctors, the evil ones. you see there`s evil all around us. you don`t even know if your neighbor aint a thief. there are good ppl as well as bad ppl, good doctors as well as bad ones, good priests as well as bad ones.

no, i already know it was meant to be sarcastic and ironic. but your sarcasm and irony falls on its face, for you can't even stand up for religion! no, we don't need religion to be our guiding light as a society... but yes, we still do need doctors, schools, civic society... the two are disjointed! that is your opinion and i respect that. however i do believe that religion has a meaning and is important for it has been here for milleniums and that means something. even the most primitive 1st human beings on this planet believed in something. ppl need faith. we have it in our genes. whether it`s the faith in God, gods, goddesses, nature or just simply faith in yourself, we all have the need to believe. it`s as important as physical health, school education, social relationships. the spiritual self is as important (if not more) as the physical one. i hope i made sense. :D

:D i feel so .... so eeer queeny

5 indeed get a new one please!!!!!!!!!

except for queen elizabeth of england, i can't think of any right now. Actually, there's the queen of Jhansi (she's well-respected and well-renowned for her courage in India). these two women for sure started their own wars. as to why others didn't...you have only to look at the society. church doesn't even allow women priests even now, right? women didn't play important role in society, not just in war... but the few examples that are out there, those women DID bring up God as their reason to fight... wasn't the fear of catholic takeover that prompted elizabeth to fight? or may be it's vice-versa...but there was definitely religion as the motive... these 2 women must have had an enormous amount of testosterone. a normal woman doesn`t have the need to start a war or gight like a man. it`s scientifically proven. queen elizabeth tha 1st was a great queen and a strong woman. and isn`t religion the cause of suffering to many women? take islam for instance. how are islamic women treated? like things. catholic church aint tha bad after all

ummm yeah...I doubt there is a buddhist 'pope' and a buddhist treasury that sends well-endowed missionaries abroad to teach people about love, or rather force-feed them the same... :rolleyes: and i do not

no, i only wondered that because you went into various societal limbs (schools, doctors, civic society etc.) and said we don't need those, either, 'cuz i seemed--to you--to say that we don't need religion. So to me, you came out saying that either we have the church or we have nothing. And i don't agree with it. Church has organized society in helpful ways but it has also caused problems, and there can be no getting away from that blame...it rests squarely on the shoulders of chruch hiercharcy. how can you say that it can't be blamed when in fact past popes have been glorified for declaring war and fighing war!? i suggest you read my brainstorm again and think of it as of something that was created and meant to be sarcastic and ironic :)
