I don't think Rabbis ...Yoga is NOT a religion.<br /><br />I don't think Rabbis and priests visit the sick with charitable intentions alone, their ultimate aim is to sell their religion. All authority figures of a religion are salespeople who push their faith down people's throats.<br /><br />Religion is the cause of most evil in the world today. What Bill Maher said is right, we are all mafia wives because a vast majority of us don't speak out and merely choose to be amused by the antics of the religious and spiritual in their faith induced ecstasies.<br /><br />Religion exists because of disparities in intelligence and social conditioning. The dumb will always be ruled and they want to be ruled. Religion is the most effective method to accomplish that.Nishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052221033301075322.post-8766749082114916142009-01-28T02:47:00.001-06:002009-01-28T02:47:00.001-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.aerochoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736950442328103762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052221033301075322.post-35303684222935951562009-01-28T02:47:00.000-06:002009-01-28T02:47:00.000-06:00I’m from S.

And I have hard time clearing the meaning of what’s Maher’s comment about ‘mafia wife’ even after he mentioned about ‘misogyny’. Now, I think I have a clue about what he said from your posting.<BR/>After I read what you wrote about the film, I want to make a few comments on what you said.<BR/>Yes, he implies that religion is the cause of all that is bad in the world. And you are right that there are other things, too. But, if you change the word ‘religion’ in Maher’s comment with ‘false belief’or ‘blinding belief’ then his argument is still valid.<BR/>He said solace and comfort given by religion are from terrible price. Now you said ‘How about the Imam, Rabbi or Priest who visits a sick person in the hospital?’<BR/>I think it’s funny. After they attack Palestinian people, and they bring them to the hospital?<BR/>You should think what make jews attack palsestinians first. You may say that it’s because palsestinians attaked jews.<BR/>Then what?<BR/>In the end. It’s just because of the religion with which Maher make fun of.<BR/>Are they good or just want to be looked good?<BR/>Even here in S. Korea, the tension between christians and the others is very high.<BR/>Many ministers had sermoned thier followers to vote for the guy who are christian without any other reasons. And the guy is ruining MY country.aerochoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736950442328103762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052221033301075322.post-81004990100367735982009-01-28T02:43:00.000-06:002009-01-28T02:43:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.aerochoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736950442328103762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052221033301075322.post-24463510509129193242008-10-27T09:14:00.000-05:002008-10-27T09:14:00.000-05:00Linor, the reason religion can succeed where educa...Linor, the reason religion can succeed where education cannot is that (unfortunately) religion can reach more people than education and many people are more willing to accept an idea if it is brought from a religious as opposed to an educational/academic perspective. If religion can be used to further understanding, tolerance and learning then yes I think it can make the world a far better place than it is now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052221033301075322.post-20506199261906903772008-10-22T23:30:00.000-05:002008-10-22T23:30:00.000-05:00the only thing that can save the world is religion...the only thing that can save the world is religion?

Religion could destroy the world, but its also the only thing that can save it.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124791899405561606noreply@blogger.com
