Our lives (to a large extent) have been guided and influenced by religion for thousands of years and it just isn't working out. It hasn't worked thus far... maybe honesty is what is lacking and that is why it doesn't work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

 | What are the bad side-effects of religion other than a belief in a God? Does it lead to murder? Does it lead to poverty? What is so bad about believing in something and joining a group of believers? | |

I feel the dishonesty is the worse thing. The division it causes within families and across the globe is incredible. It causes guilt and bigotry (masturbation, sex, homosexuals). And it pains my heart to think of little kids that are forced to think about these earth shaking things at such a young age. Good, evil, the fate of their souls, getting into heaven, etc. I don't think that is good for them emotionally. But the dishonesty and division it causes around the planet, between humans that already have enough natural division in their lives, is disgusting to me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
