Top Ten Reasons to Not Be Religious
We actually have the knowledge to create life or even clone (using cells to create life). If that science has so many critics, it's because religious institutions think that we are messing with God's creation.
I am talking about one thing here. Theories about how life started (there are many plausible theories, not only the Big Bang) are also getting criticism from religion. In other words, religion is certainly holding back or at least slowing down progress made by science and therefore the teaching or education about those progressions.
No science, no peace, no critical thinking. And some people want to bring the Dark Ages back!
Let's not let history repeat itself.
Neither Mao, Stalin, nor Hitler were atheists. Mao started a religion called Maoism. Hitler died a Catholic. Stalin studied at an Orthodox seminary and is a saint in the Russian and Georgian Orthodox Churches (quite the feat for an atheist, don't you think?).
However, even if, for the sake of argument, all three were atheists, did they commit their atrocities in the name of atheism, or did they commit their atrocities in the name of Nazism or Communism? We all know that Islam is the same as Nazism (Hitler argues for this in Mein Kampf), and Christianity is the same as Communism (Thomas More's "Utopia" was a blueprint for a Communist society, and that guy is a Catholic saint of politicians, despite burning people alive for daring to own the Bible in English).
With all the religions in the world, there can only be one right one if they are all very intricate. The most likely religion to be true is atheism, which isn't a religion at all.
Nobody has proof. We mustn't argue simply.
Maybe you don't have to pray in some religions (Buddhism, Taoism) and in some it's a choice (Christianity), but in Islam, you have to pray five times a day. It seems that this is also the most ridiculous of all religions.
My friend made me pray and I hated it. She was all like, "You're doing it wrong. If you don't pray to God, Satan will get you. Satan is trying to get to you."
Who wants to take time in the day to pray to a made-up figure? That's like praying to Shrek every night before bed.
Whatever happened to "Thou shalt not kill"?
Faith without evidence or proof is blind faith and a very stupid way of life. How could you live reasonlessly with faith?
I have faith that science is true and that religion is not.
We don't need proof. All we need is faith.
They say that God gives them free will, and whenever they do something wrong with their free will, they say that God will forgive them (fancy ethic to clear their conscience). Religion is the most hypocritical way of living!
Not saying all are, just some people that I know in real life. For example, my teacher is a Hindu and some of the students in the class who were Christians were against that and started complaining.
Islam will tell you that it is a religion of love and understanding, but behind your back, they despise you. It's the most hypocritical religion in the world.
This is true. No religion can prove if the god they believe in is real, but nobody can prove that their god is fake. Even science can't prove it.
My parents (especially my mom) are religious and I'm not. I asked a question about it once and my mom thinks that I'm insulting her religion. Seriously?
