WHEN will world leaders address the growing crisis; that religion causes religious extremism.

[Union Yes]

It's a worldwide epidemic.

WHEN will this fucking nonsense stop?

[sharesunited]

1. Hey, are you offering everlasting life? How do you propose to compete with THAT??

[greennina]

12. You can't compete with that!

That's why making that claim should be illegal. You make a very good point.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Alas fundamentalist thinking is NOT limited to religion

granted it helps, but any new revolution has its own brand of that too.

[vadawg]

3. whats your plan to ban anyone believing anything that isnt approved

good luck with trying to ban religion, it aint going to happen..

[elleng]

4. Never.

Something about human nature.

[Divine Discontent]

5. So we should be like China? How about we each work on people we meet 1 on 1 & show them how their

extremism is unhealthy. There's really not much you can do regarding 'religion'. I certainly don't like saying or hearing that I'm 'religious', for believing in a higher power that made everything. It's a belief, not a religion. I believe the people that cause the problems are cult followers who like to subject their power over others - they're nothing more than bigots with a church affiliation to hide behind, and we need to continue telling them that when they stick their nose into politics trying to take away rights or prevent them.

I share your disgust.

[vadawg]

8. im actually disgusted at the people who are just as much fundamentalists in their hatred of religion

im religious and i dont care what you believe, but you believe that i should not be allowed to believe what i do, so really you are the fundamentalist and probuably a bigger problem than the people you so want to control...

[Divine Discontent]

9. you certainly don't mean to respond to me. I don't like when I'm persecuted on hear for being

a Christian. I got attacked enough from people who claim they're Christians, but when they find out I'm attracted to the same sex, they suddenly say I'm going against God, as if I purposely am controlling my attraction. Bah!

[MilesColtrane]

6. Yeah, Lenin tried that.

[Divine Discontent]

10. exactly. communist countries, hitler, they all hated religion if I'm not mistaken.

[dysfunctional press]

7. it's been going on forever...

so when will it stop?

never.

[alittlelark]

11. 3,2,1.... to the Theology dungeon

I've been sent there as well.

[Ozymanithrax]

13. When leaders and large constituencies are no longer relitious...

Which should happen never.

Magical thinking is a plague upon the human race.
