POLL: What is the World's Most Evil Religion?

Quote from Specul8r:



Surf,

I think it has much less to do with Christianity than it does with America being a highly motivated capatalist country. You don't seriously believe that Christianity has spawned our industrial age more so than the love of money do you? This is by far the most materialistic country in the world, it only makes sense to me that our material growth would outpace the rest.

With that said, it is true, that many eastern flavored "religions" (if they can even be considered as such; Taoism, Budhusim, Hinduism, etc) have certain belief structures that have hindered their lands material growth.

PEACE and good specul8tion



Oh btw, I'm not an aethist, just thought I would give a remark to the question...

spec,

hey bro great post and points. absolutely, it is capitalism that makes the west thrive crushing the economies of non western civilizations. however, my thinking goes deeper than capitalism or the love of money. my contention is that it is the biblical precepts of man being created in god's image, and the domination of nature doctrine that allowed the capitalistic "greed" urge in man to thrive instead of being surpresed as it is in non western religions / countries. the concept of man being "god like" or made in the image of god would do wonders for man's ego giving him the confidence to discover, conquer nature, cure disease, etc.

in addition, the interpretation of the bible that teaches that man can reach god on his own, without resorting to POPES, CHURCHES, or SAINTS provides the individual the ability to think on his own without resorting to church dogma resulting in this "individualistic thinking" transfering to other areas of life which leads to the great ideals of freedom, liberty, and individual rights.

it's all tied together---



best,

You again reference the idea of evolution in light of my posted argument that the fossil records do not bare you out.

Next. you contradicted yourself when you say that things were created with a purpose. In evolution there is no creation.

You are now confusing the issue.
 
HERE'S JOHNNY!!!

It seems that we are battleing many separate issues here. lets focus on one topic at a time.

It would appear that you are not clear on the definitions that I posted. It would also appear that you have a problem with death of the innocent is that not true? If so you are right. The death of the innocent would be problematic indeed. However, in the above reference the Cannanites were not innocent according to God's law. Remember, the wages of sin = death.
 
If you really think creationism is a stronger position than
evolution, then stop wasting your time here.

Write your glorious paper which proves beyond a reasonable
doubt, that this is in fact the case, and have it widely published.

Now run off and go convert the brightest minds in medicine
who hold evolution as the center of all modern biological
theory and convert them to creationists.

Oh... an be sure to send me the video tape of them
laughing their asses off :D

In case you haven't noticed, the modern body of
scientific knowledge is directly against you.
Creationism isnt even taken seriously by the scientific community.

Now go get busy. You have thousands of leading scientists
to convince. Convincing us is not worth your time :D

Babies are innocent by any reasonable definition.
I reject any silly story which says you are BORN a sinner/guilty.

ACTIONS are required for anything evil/bad to be commited.
An infant is NOT CAPABLE of "sinning" or doing anything bad.

Therefore, an infant is not capable of anything immoral by any reasonable standard.

Sending wild animals to kill children is EVIL by any reasonable
definition, regardless of what any mythical god says.

Slaughtering infants would be considered evil by any rational
modern human being.

This nonsense makes me sick.

What's the matter?
Is your back against a brick wall?
Are YOU afraid to experience your worldview come crashing down on you?


Actually, YOU are the one that has the difficult task of convincing the scientific community that evolution is still valid in light of the age of scientific enlightenment. Evolution is a Corpse propped up against the wall of fallacy. Many books, research papers , and speeches have been given already WITHIN the scientific community. Anthropologist know this. YOU are the one who is unenlightened on the subject.
