Anne (Religion)

Personally, I think religion is something that people are finding usable as an explanation, a prejudice, an incentive to fight, and a way to blame mistakes. I think people are too absorbed in themselves and their own opinions to see what religion really is and they use it to fight amongst themselves. Discrimination just because someone follows a different God...prosecution because they go too far in that passion...or judging a complete stranger from the street because they appear to be (jewish, hindu, islam, etc.). So no...I don't think people could come together for a common cause because people use religion to keep themselves segregated.

  1. Fair points, Chey. But, I think religion has has a bright side. We have killed in the name religion, but we have also healed in the name of religion. Martin Luther King used Gandhi's ideas, and Gandhi used Emmerson's ideas.
