Re: religion makes stupid people even more stupid
I completely understand and appreciate what you are trying to explain, but the only thing I am asking is to show how religion can make a person a better human being than he already is. Or to take diwana’s excellent example, while we know there are many ways how religion can be used as a knife that can kill or cause disharmony but can somebody explain how it can be used to remove the cancer or make this earth a better place?
That is very true, but the thing is that once we realize that a particular thing is or can be harmful even with its many benefits or idealistic thinking (communism for example) we try course correction and not pursue with it in the same manner. Why should religion be any different?
