Hindus did wrong by being the only indigenous religions that weren't thoroughly marginalized or wiped out by Christian and Islamic zealots. It boasts a large population, and for the intolerant, exclusivist monotheist, that is simply not acceptable. Apparently they've screwed over all the other indigenous traditions that they're not worthy of note. Only Hinduism stands as a stubborn testimony of their failure at achieving world domination.

Isn't cultural genocide beautiful?

Hinduism because it is polytheism of purest form.
.

Umm Hinduism is actually monotheistic essentially. Though there are many polytheistic Hindus of both soft and hard variety.

As for banning religion I would not ban any. Because to do so or to even contemplate belies insecurity about one's own religious (or lack thereof) beliefs. Nothing personal, of corse.

 

[vaguelyhumanoid]

Fascism/Nazism and anti-gay conversion therapy.

What's that? They have to be religions? None (well, maybe Scientology).

 

[morphesium]

It would be Hinduism and Christianity.

Nothing personal guys!



Correction: which two religions...

Excuse my poor english skills!

I don't want to discriminate one religion from the other here - ban all religions; I believe world is a better place without religions. a world with out superstitions. a much more technologically advanced world.

I would only ban any religion that tries to push its believes onto the public, and any that don't like the way my country is run, that being Australia.

Cannot ban any religion; but if any/some religion's believer is causing harm or commit crime towards other people, then those believer will be receive punishment by a fair judicial system.

Actually I would love my country full of Hindu's and Buddhist, yes, nice.

 

[Curious George]

It's not, actually, but it's nice to know that hard polytheists like myself are so far beneath your notice that we don't make your personal $#@% list.

I love you too, by the way.

Lol. Oh my, I might have just peed a little.

I don't know why this hit a funny chord but it did.

Perhaps unfortunately with respect to your goal, banning religion would not eliminate superstition. This would be ineffective both because religion is not accurately characterized as superstition, and also because superstition can easily be non-religious. "Magical thinking" is inherent in human psychology.

Oh, hey! I know! Let's ban all humans!

Even if we didn't have religion , we would be fighting over some other ideology, its our nature unfortunately.

I would restrict some practices and ban a few, but I wouldn't ban any religion. People are people, and good or bad, they'll do what they do and latch onto anything for inspiration to justify their acts. I simply do not see any valid reason to tell someone it is illegal to believe and think what they will about their own images of god, the afterlife, and other subjects of religious concern.

Cthulu & Cylon
(Their banning would inconvenience no one, but would raise their appeal to rebellious types.)

Cthulhu would greatly inconvenience me (quite possibly about at least 1/8 of all the metal songs in my library, if not more, are about him), but I'm almost behind that if it would get people reading about him. He already enjoys popularity among the dark-side rebellious types.
I have more important things to worry about than the Cylon.

What is so hypocritical, is that these Abrahamic religions are really polytheistic at heart.

Christianity worships mary jesus spirit god and saints ect ect, people poled at he vatican placed Jesus #6 of who is prayed to the most


Not to mention others who worship a meteor/rock and place their prophet at a status of any god to the point the man himself can do no wrong.




They could all be good, but the lack of moderation polishes the negative side enough we will always see it.

Sadly I think the weak minded will worship just about anything, you name it, they will worship it.

 

[YmirGF]

I couldn't ban any of them. It's so much fun watching them fight!

If "fighting" was in our nature, whatever religion we take, it should all be gruesome with the same intensity. That is not the case. We have some extremely violent and others very peaceful. We all wish to live in a peaceful community (along with our loved ones). Of course there are some who needs a "kick" or additional "endorphins". let them engage in some thrilling sports or things like that.
These violent religion(s) are all using brain washing to make people violent. (If violence was in our nature, it would have been the other way -people would have needed training to keep them passive).
Almost all religion /politics sow the seeds of hatred/violence by coating them with some thoughts of morale, justice etc otherwise people wont accept it.

for eg:- They say "those people (people with same belief but in a different area) are suffering, they get no justice under those disbelievers (Just their strategy to fool people) - it is you who have to fight for them, bring light to their world". If these followers never had some goodness to their fellow beings, these brain washers will never be able to sell their evil intentions. I have read about a religious bomber whose bombing has killed a lot of children - what he said about his bombing is this, he just sent all these kids to god. Often most of these believers believe they are doing "great acts" (something that their god will love) and not just violent ruthless acts.
I do agree that there is some violence in our nature but what i believe is this - our nature is far more peaceful than violent.

Since our morality is relative, and we are psychological beings, i do believe people can be brainwashed to bring out more goodness to the society, to make them much more peaceful , much more creative, much more ethical, much more humorous, and to keep higher moral standards.

I do agree that it is the lack of moderation that makes it evil.

No your wrong, we are all pretentiously violent, like it or not, that is our animal side, most will cover up their violet nature with all sorts of things, mainly religion, but behind that religion is nothing more than a violent person pretending to be meek and mild.

The Abrahamic religions have a long and bloody history of aggression, repression, proselytization, and imperialism.
Judaism has largely given this up, so I'll give it a pass.
