CorkerSWFC Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is it worth all the hassle it brings in the world, does it ever strike people that these so called gods are pretend. and never even existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Of course there are no gods. Religion is a product of fear. The thought of a chaotic uncontrollable world is scary. It is much more comforting to imagine that some entity has agency over the world and is somehow in control. In recent years this fear of the chaotic has manifested itself with conspiracy theories popping up instead of religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Was another religion thread really necessary? Grahame hasn't got the other one closed yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Football is like religion for some people. I've no problem with some people being enthusiastic about their hobby, and as long as people treat their religion like a hobby then fine. It's when people try to insert their hobby into other people's lives, or worse still into politics, to dictate how others live, that the hobby becomes an obsessive cancer.

HeadingNorth Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Football is like religion for some people. I don't know of any brand of football which lays down guidelines about how to live one's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Oh, I see what you've done there. Your football threads not getting enough hits, so you thought you'd start a religious one? You forgot to put "muslim" in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just using Africans as an example there are alsorts of religions these day's in Sheffield. Should peoples children be able to choose if they want to follow there mums and dads religion, especially as they now reside in England ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
