Yea this thread.. Gotta go

@Blamer: I'm someone who likes to think logically. I won't be 100% sure of anything. For example, I might be typing this in my dream right now.

Christianity.... So many brainwashed zombies...

[quote=WhySoRussian]No, if you remove Judaism, it won't remove Christianity and Islam.

I'd remove Islam.

EDIT: When you remove the belief system in this scenario, the people practicing it would become Atheist, not die.[/quote]
This is the kind of stuff that that our world does not need. This is the kind of stuff that wages wars. Why cant we just live in peace without bashing other religions? People like you start so many problems in today's world, and im telling u, we do not need that. This thread just shows how people are today. Why do we always have to encourage negative things. Why can't we make a thread about unity?
There's 'media' written all over your face Mr.WhySoRussian

[quote=EdwardMaya]I believe there was a thread regarding this before.
OT: None, people have the right to believe in what they want.
It's sad how we as the Western (a majority of basilers are from the US & Canada) so called most 'democratic' part of the world are looking down on individuals who choose to practice a particular religion and then reinforcing the idea that it should be removed from existence without any legitimate reason besides generalization by what we see on television. A majority of you have not even investigated every bit of detail and information about the religions mentioned to even give an educated judgement.

[b]I may be wrong, but I don't think there are many basilers with a degree in religious studies, or even a high school diploma for that matter. [/b]
@marxmaster I suggest locking the thread before you start a flame war.. Some people may find it offensive.

This is coming from a Muslim.[/quote]
haha, actually im studying to become a hafiz currently, but thats not the point.
Well anyways, well said muslim brotha!
OT:I wouldnt take out any religions because the only way to make peace in the world is to co-operate with all religions and races, and all of you muslims out there(Like Me xD) u should know this because of the story of Prophet Muhammad and how the idol-worshippers used to convert to Islam because of the way he acted so greatly towards them even if they, treated him badly.

[quote=angramainyu]Islam exalts Muslims in the same way that Christianity and Judaism do to their respective followings, and treats kuffar as second-class citizens.[/quote]

Not really, Islam even allows Muslims to marry non-Muslims such as Christians and Jews, under some conditions though. Also, the fact that Islam forbids everything that may harm ANYONE (Muslims or non-Muslims) alone is enough to prove my previous point.

[quote=DarkClaw]This sentence, annoys me to death. I'm jewish and I'm ok with ppl choosing judiasm, cus I know alot of ppl chose other regions too, but this sentence of saying "jews killed jesus" is such a big fat lie. this is the false reason hitler killed 6 million of us in the holocaust. If you care to accuatlly READ the bible, you will see that jesus, was jewish and he was killed by some religion which I forgot the name of , but a religion that started in rome, that THEN grew to become judiasm, then christianity and islam.
As you can see, Jews DID NOT KILL JESUS. and the part with the Rome religion is not a belief, it was prooved by scietists and historians.
I Rest my case.[/quote]

It's written in Quran, and Muslims only take instructions from Quran and Hadeeth (prophet Mohammad's speech), so get over it. I hope you realize that Muslims believe that both of the current Torah and Bible have been twisted and changed, so no point in reading them.

@Aren: Well then suit yourself?

[quote=Aren]@Dacarlover: Let's just say, for an instant, that it was written in the Quran that infidels (those who don't conform to your beliefs) should be killed so as not to reproduce and threaten the livelihood of your religion. In that 'hypothetical' sense, would you, as you do now, commit to your own beliefs?[/quote]

Once again, an impossible situation, Why would an Omnipotent and All merciful God demand the wanton desctruction of His own creations?
See, what you are trying to do is to try an create a situation where a follower of a certain religion would do literally anything God says, which is only completely acceptable if everything that is commanded is correct. And it will be correct, as the God of the religion is Omnipotent, with all knowledge, and so, is impossible for the above situation.

Judaism, because with out this, there would be no Jesus, thus no Christianity.

[quote=KnifeLegend]I don't mind religion in and of itself, I just take issue with the violence and suppression of knowledge associated with many major religions.

And @ everyone in this thread who's saying "Satanism", you should probably specify which kind you're talking about... because if it's LaVeyan, that's really a philosophical viewpoint, not a religion (as opposed to theistic Satanism).[/quote]

Historically speaking, after the birth of a religion, and the death of its propagator, it would gradually undergo a sort of decay, where which it's teachings are changed to suit those who are currently the "head authority" on the religion. The suppression of knowledge was to ensure that the followers of a ertain religion remained blind to what they were actually doing, and so that they aren't able to see the corruption happenning within the higher ranks of the religion's authoritative body.

@MarxMaster: If God intends to do something, it is a done deed.

I don't mind religion in and of itself, I just take issue with the violence and suppression of knowledge associated with many major religions.

[quote=MarxMaster]I don't think it's incredible, since this thread practically asks people which religion they hate.[/quote]

So, you're saying its not aliens, but its aliens. Gotcha

The religion that is connected to "God".

[quote=Aren]@Dacarlover: So let me ask you this: If God asked you to kill me, would you do it?[/quote]

According to my beliefs, that is an impossible situation...God doesn't have any needs...
That's the thing... In Islam, God is not some human-like figure we can attribute human qualities to...

The amount of hate in this thread is incredible.

[quote=Aren]@Dacarlover: Ok, but you cannot deny that other people who believe in the same religious ideals would feel morally justified in their attempts to silence said transgressors.[/quote]

Actually, unless the said people live in an uneducated, war mongering tribe, (such as the taliban, etc) they wouldn't, as it's not allowed to punish someone for their personal sins... That is upto God.

@ZoroDrk: Yaaaaaaay
OT: I would take out Satansism or however you spell it.

@Aren: "Whereas the largest majority of muslims, who live in South East Asia in Indonesia, consider it blaspheme to mast ur bate.

I've also heard that the punishment for the act is a beheading."

Again, instead of spreading BS under the "i heard" pretext, why not google it, it's so damn easy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_m@sturbation

That's their own view, and they don't consider it blasphemy... It's classified under a major sin for most, but others aren't allowed to punish smeone who mast ur bates... It just goes on your "personal record of sins kept by the heavenly bookkeeper" <(Not exactly accurate, but i did my best to translate...)

and to your second comment, yes, so if they transgress, it's their own sin. They have transgressed against their own selves, not others, and thus are not "in need" of a punishment by someone else...
Mast ur bation isn't a sin against another individual, like murder or robbery, where a punishment by a judicial authority is necessary, but rather against oneself....
It's a personal opinion, since it's considered a transgression by the Quran, doesn't mean we immediately ostracize everyone who mast ur bates...

TAKE OUT SATANISM. It's a disgrace to all that is in existance.

@Aren: That's their own view, and they don't consider it blasphemy... It's classified under a minor sin for some sects, a major sin for others.

Removing Religion from the world will solve all the problems of the world. Religion is humanity's first attempt at understanding the universe and the world. In this case, first IS the worst.

I'm Islamic!

@WhySoRussian: When I said Jewish, I meant ethnic jews, not just judaism followers.
Regardless, people should be free to practice whatever the hell they want to, that is freedom of speech.

@angramainyu:
"Islam exalts Muslims in the same way that Christianity and Judaism do to their respective followings, and treats kuffar as second-class citizens."

A small fraction of uneducated people in the world who call themselves Muslim, may say that, but the general population, for the most part intereract with all cultures without any bias (unless said population has been negatively affected by a said culture, that's when emotion & anger overrides any non-animosity)
One of the few restrictions placed on non-muslims is that we are not allowed to marry them, which makes sense when it comes to raising children.

I've seen you go around in various threads over a period of time, and attribute to Islam, concepts that are either taken out of context, like quoting part of a sentence from a paragraph. As a moderator of a forum, you should not publicly display any bias against any faith. if you have such biases, keep them to yourself, no need to spread misinformation.

[quote=NotNotKelly]ofc u'd remove islam u dirty israeli[/quote]

MHMMM GUUURRRRRLLLLL

Christianity, easily. One of the most unethical religions out there. Also, most of them are idiots at that.

If I had the chance, I would go back in time and stop religion from existing, creating a new world.

Christianity....

[quote=xPlaydohx]Islam or Muslim because their extreamists are the worst.[/quote]

Kony is a Christian, by the way.
So was Hitler.

[quote=KilIerCombo]christianity for sure, most religions are like "okay whatever" when you tell them you have different beliefs then christianity comes along and says "why you no believe in my god? you wrong, im right"[/quote]

Christianity: God is good, even though he will screw everyone who doesn't believe in him, and has killed thousands of people
I would remove christianity or islam

[quote=Roy8484]So if my fairytale contains names of places that exist in real life, graves named after people in my story then by your logic, it must be true! Transformers then must be real, because hey, it's set in america (which is obviously real, duh), there's a graveyard of Optimus Prime(see below) and hey there's pieces of scrap metal all over the place that represent very valid historical evidence! And like you said if this wasn't true america must not exist either.

The Graveyard Itself: http://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/optimus-prime-jewish-gravestone.jpg

But seriously how can you believe a book that's been written by multiple authors, changed/altered so many times throughout thousands of years and still believe that it holds valid evidence? Did you just sleep through science class or are you just reluctant to believe the truth?[/quote]

Nice photo you got over there! so funny.

[quote=LokcCap]Oh, please explain how everything in the Bible is myth, when there is a place called Egypt, Israel, Palestine, a city called Jerusalem, historical evidence that Jesus Chirst actually existed, the dead sea scrolls,
Also explain how the graves of some people in the Bible have been found.
http://christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a026.html

If the bible was really a "myth" none of these would have ever existed.[/quote]

[quote=Roy8484]@LokcCap: Seriously? The only reason you even know about this myth of Jesus/God is because you read it from the Bible, without it you would have never been given such a concept in the first place. So by extension without the Bible, Jesus/God would not exist and yes without my parents I would not exist.

And yes, everything in the Bible is a myth/fallacy unless you're willing to believe something purely on the basis of faith which is believing in something without evidence.[/quote]

[quote=Roy8484]Jesus Christ/"God" come from Christianity, so if Christianity never existed neither would they have.[/quote]

Using your logic, since you were born from your parents, if you never existed, your parents would have never existed as well.

@angramainyu I've just researched into Satanism, and I'm apologize if I offended you in anyway. I never knew there was branches into Satanism, LaVeyan Satanism(which I believe you associate yourself with), Theistic, Luciferianism, Paladist, etc.

I guess I thought that all Satanists where those guys that drank blood and did horrible rituals.(Source:Tv)

The Islam, for hating the Jews.

I wouldn't remove any religion, but if have to think as low as TS's shallow thinking I would say definitely Judaism. The reason is simply it being the most racist and dangerous religion out there, afaik, it encourages Jews to do absolutely no good to non-Jews saying that they are the chosen ones along with some other crap, and us Muslims believe that the Jews killed prophet Jesus (called Eesa in Arabic), along with their other countless crimes mentioned in Quran.

[quote=Momo123]Atheism, if that's even considered a religion. All they do is bash other people for believing in god and thinking their right.

/thread[/quote]

Some irony in that, from christians I seen, you don't believe in my god, burn in hell.

[quote=LokcCap]Satanism. Those guys are crazy. Also I would get rid of Westboro Baptist Church.

You guys can get rid of Christianity, because I believe Christianity is a way of life and having an absolute faith in God and Jesus Christ, not a religion.[/quote]

Jesus Christ/"God" come from Christianity, so if Christianity never existed neither would they have.

I feel like all of you are giving Satanists a bad rep. There's extremists to every religion, and I'm sure the people sacrificing animals to some demonic being image you have in your heads is a silly stereotype.

Satanism. Those guys are crazy. Also I would get rid of Westboro Baptist Church.

): that I can't choose Judaism, so Christians it is.

I wouldn't really remove anything, but as a social threat to the US, I would "change" the Muslim Extremists. I mean, all people are really nice, but when you start terrorizing the lives of thousands of people, it's got to stop. Everyone can believe what they want, and how, but I just believe people shouldn't take it too far. Even from a Christian point of view, I think people blowing up abortion facilities is almost just as bad as the 9/11 attacks.

Oh, and Satanism. That is just downright wrong. Also, can someone try to tell me why people worship the face of evil? Do they think that Satan's the real "God", or do they worship him beCAUSE he's evil?

EDIT: I mean, everyone has the right to believe in what they think is true, or is not true, right?

[quote=Keey]arceus[/quote]

Amen

[quote=Dacarlover]It isn't surprising that you being a really anti-Islamic Israeli would say that, but then again, your words are no similar from the actions of Adolf Hitler, who believed that because some germans were jewish, that they didn't deserve to live. Kinda strange, considering your opinions reflect those of the very person most hebrew people hate...

At those who answered for ANY belief, think again. IF you were to act on what you stated, what difference is there between you and a Nazi?
Being a Muslim, a core belief is that everyone should be able to practice what they want, no matter how idiotic it may seem to you or others...[/quote]

In my scenario, all the people who have their belief removed become atheist, not die.
The BELIEF is removed, not the people.

EDIT: Also, the Nazis executed "ethnic" Jews, regardless of their faith.

idunno.

[quote=Sn0wy101]Atheism.[/quote]
That's not a religion.
EDIT: Saw your later post.
Also, why do you wanna remove Atheism?

[quote=Chocoholica]If Satanism is a religion, I would remove that despicable hellish thing too.

And how dare you saying that about Christianity >.<[/quote]

How dare you say that stuff about satanism. See how that works? I thought as a christian you wouldn't judge someones opinion.

[quote=cb000]Either all or none. I don't think I have sufficient information to say one particular religion is the worst.[/quote]

This right here. I'd like to remove all of them. All religion does is cause problems. Like right now, people are fighting about religion and getting offended by this thread. If there was no religion we wouldn't have this problem.

If all cannot be removed then i'd remove satanism. Simply because i imagine it being a dark hatred type thing.

I would like everyone to live in bliss. Not giving a snap about this stuff.

I would remove all of them for sure. However, since that's not an option, Islam. Maybe it's not fair to Muslims, but there seems to be more Islamic extremists, than all of the other religions combined. Even Christian and Jewish fundamentalists don't necessarily act on their absurd beliefs.

Atheism, if that's even considered a religion. All they do is bash other people for believing in god and thinking their right.
