Religions put people against, God put them together!

I've  extracted this post from l.pharaoh's topic. I'm curious to know what you think about…..

 

 

 I believe in only a unique God. I don't feel Christian, Mulism or whatever other Religion practiser either!

 

I do believe in God but I definitely don't believe in Religions.

 

Religions put people against, God put them together!

I wish religions brought people together more than it split them apart.

 

I have more respect for people that live by a faith, than live by none, and continue to make the world a horrible, egotistical place.

I think we all wish the same, Fabs. But the opinions of some about THEIR religion is what causes manu's observations that religions split people apart. Views that THEIRS is the one, true, and only real religion. (and by extension, all others are untrue and unreal, which means their followers are not as good) These views naturally lead to feelings of superiority and marginalizing others which makes it easy to oppress or kill them. 

 

Matrix, I'm very happy to see that you can recognize that religions are man made, but you seem to have  blind spot for your own religion.

Exactly.

I know the reason, I just wish it weren't that way.

so you can perhaps understand how some people can come to feel less need for organized religion in their lives or even become hostile towards it.

Iran, Islamic Republic Of

THE MYSTIC POET, Rumi, tells of three foreigners traveling down a road together. They come across a drachma on the road, and picking it up together, each declares what he wishes to do with it. The first says he will buy `inab, which is Arabic for grapes; the second, a Persian, says, "No! We must buy angur;' Persian for grapes. The third, a Roman, exclaims it must be vitis?Latin for grapes. They begin to fight, and soon a journey distinguished by camaraderie descends into a fisticuff of animosity. Rumi remarks that all they needed was a translator to explain that they all really wanted the same thing.

I think all religious and believes says one thing but we only see surface and it cause hostility.
