Why Mix God With Religion
An individual can or can not believe in God. After all, it is impossible to explain the reason for the existence of our complex universe. Someday science may come to our rescue, but until then, we can argue about the existence of an all empowering God.
Religion however is another story. History shows that there were many religions that had believers, rituals, and validity. One point should be recognized. Most of history atrocities were, and still are, being committed in the name of religion. Using the theory that “my god is better than your god,” millions of innocent people were, and still are, being killed.
Would the world be better off without all organized religions? How many more people would be alive to contribute to society? How much money could be saved by not spending on war machines and used instead to help the poor, sick, and inocent?
My argument is not to condemn any specific religion, but to offer the thought that without organized religion the world might be a safer place to live.
