I Really Wish People Would Stop Saying Religion

i really wish people would stop saying "religion" when they really mean 'christianity' or even 'christianity, judaism and islam'.

there are a whole and wonderful spectrum of far more reasonable and sensible beliefs, which have done nothing to be tarred with the same brush.

they may still be just as much fantasies, or they might not, the may be just as susceptible to being abused in similar ways (though by comparison they ever so very seldom are), but they still in no way deserve to be tarred with the same brush. nor to be so completely ignored by those to blind or laze to even bother to look, beyond what they are familiar with.

just as there is no reason to assume, that if there is one god, or many, that they are to blame for any word spoken or believed about them.

 

I have my own conscience.....do not not an exterior souce for that.....

 

Adds up to no reason

 

I wish people would just stop making religious threads.

How many times can you guys have the same argument expressed in different words?

It's whack.

 

I can probably make my same argument indefinitely. I express it in different words to collect understanding from different backgrounds.
Your wish that people would stop is whack

 

What is your conscience?

 

" con·science


/ˈkän(t)SHəns/


noun

noun: conscience; plural noun: consciences





an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior.

"he had a guilty conscience about his desires"




synonyms:

sense of right and wrong, moral sense, inner voice; More"

 

Where did you get your sense of right and wrong from? Is the guide you reflect upon in your inner voice, your guide or the one your parents taught you?

 

I was born with mine, buddy......no one taught me to cry as a 3 year old screaming for people to throw the fish they just hooked on the line back into the water, and they did.

 

or screaming at my grandfather to stop cutting down a tree.....

 

You were born with a clear conscience.

 

I was born as who I am.

 

without description a virgin birth.
Mom and dad taught you what they learned about the world.
There is another teacher in life and that is the taste of your own experience.

you are golden
let's go back to the garden

 

religion is a mental illness...

 

religion came because we thought we did something wrong
You may excuse yourself from it
go and sin no more

 

I see nothing wrong with using a cumulative term "religion" when discussing the few major Monotheistic Western religions, perhaps even solely for the preeminent religion of the culture, depending on the topic. These religions are usually the ones in which directly effect the person talking.

Your argument is akin to saying "I think people should stop saying racism, when they strictly mean white and black racial tensions. There is a whole history of _________ and _________ (insert other racial groups) race relations which are not tarred with the same brush."

the observation of what causes more and less harm and researching how to avoid doing so. that is the only basis of morality. there is no other.
belief may otherwise be fine. but it cannot replace do so. nor remove the moral responsibility to do so.
