Why must religion try to ruin everything?......?

Update:

@Hope is certainty ~ I think people are inherently pleonectic, not inherently evil. I don't not believe in any inherent higher moral archetype.

Religious people are very high up on my list of "blameworthy of the world's misery and chaos". If you don't believe me, well, open your bloody eyes.

Update 2:

You're right, Mr. Chao. May I posit this correction: "Religion is for those ignorant of either the lack of logical reasoning involved in religious beliefs, the lack of scientific evidence to support their beliefs, or both".

Update 3:

@Alex ~ What piffle. What people do you know that go out trick-or-treating Halloween night to pay tribute to death? I do not personally know a single person who does this. Very few people today celebrate the traditional Halloween, a historical Pagan convention. They prefer the secular version, where they dress up in silly or scary costumes and go fetch candy from similarily adorned houses.

    It is not religion that is the obstacle. Faith is with ease a process in which people were competent to justify what now we have learned over the centuries. What's ruining this world is liberal intolerance. All people has a right to suppose as they need, but that does not give you the right to drive me to suppose how you do. And that isn't always devout beliefs. It might be sexual beliefs, political affairs, and so forth. When you appear at who it's that's developing most of the world's unrest, it is those participants, companies, and governments that aren't tolerant of others. Your arguement about what would Jesus do, good he in general would have finished simply what Bush and the United nations did with Iraq. Negotiate, plead and finally take action. Is that improper? I have no idea but. I have not met my Maker yet. Oh and hiya this quite is a good question because it causes persons to fairly take a greater seem at how they look at the world. When you appear at the floor, sure it's faith. Whilst you seem to the basis motive, you see it's intolerance which is a human attribute, no longer a religious one.

    Religion doesn't have to try to ruin everything, everything is already in ruins Satan started the revolt from God for man with Adam and Eve. Jesus demolished any hope of Satan's revolt from ever being accomplished as planned. So in this hell hole called planet earth a person's only choice is join up with the bad guys (satan et al) and pretend the revolt is still in progress, or try to get back to God, which is the basis of religion (the very definition of the word re ligio. So we don't need religion to ruin everything, that has already been accomplished in every possible way.

    Halloween is for children.

    It's the one night of the year they get do something dangerous and walk around in the dark.

    But there are parents who don't like this, and since they are in control of their own children, we must let them throw private church parties and give out Chick tracts, and spoil the children's fun.

    Oh, you mean try to ruin the fact that millions of people, so called 'Christians' and non-Christians are out and about celebrating this grand holiday to pay tribute to ghosts, ghouls, witches, phantoms, the dead, and other things of that nature?

    As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I wouldn't even dream of participating in such an event. It's out-right dripping with satanic-influence. It's just a sugar-coated pagan holiday, masqueraded with the message of 'innocent-fun'. Like Christmas, it's just another excuse (in these days), for advertisers to try and coax millions of people to swarm retail stores, in order to stock up on 'holiday-themed' items.

    If you looked up the origins of these 'innocent' holidays and see where they actually came from, you may be surprised to know what you're really celebrating.

    EDIT:

    - - - - - - - -

    What's the difference? You're still celebrating the Holiday. It's still a Pagan Holiday, with satanic roots. Changing the way you celebrate it doesn't make it clean. It's still the same holiday. By dressing up as ghosts and other satanic spirit creatures, you're paying tribute to them, no?

    Use logic, dude.

    Jesusween is a thing for individuals that are too ignorant to know that halloween is not satanic. All you need to do is open their eyes and tell them not to believe everything that is said of the devil.

    From their website:

    "JesusWeen asks participants to:

    Knock on doors to give a tract, CD, DVD, or Bible

    When asked for treats give the gift of salvation"

    Sounds fun, dunnit?

    the religion is perfect, its the mentality of humanity that brings upon the imperfection.

    you probably want to observe and learn before attacking
