Re: Your views on religion at home…

ON TV LIVE GENERAL MUSHARAF KA qom se KHITAB.

Not exactly. I said IF followed correctly religion is beneficial

So you do agree if religion is followed correctly then it is beneficial. That is what religious people say.
No argument there.

BUT people don’t follow it correctly

Who is at fault then? Religion or people?

so it’s harmful.

Wrong conclusion my friend. If followed correctly, then it is beneficial as you said.

So, despite what the religion is intended for, the end result is that it causes harm.

**How?

You just said if religion is followed correctly then it is beneficial.

This is the contradiction I mentioned earlier which you deny.** Read your own words please.

That’s not up for debate. The biggest conflicts in the world today are because of religion.
**
Yes it is. Contradicting statements are not making your case.
**
Laws can be changed. Religion can’t.

**We are not talking about change.

We are discussing who to be blamed if laws are broken.**

See my point? If a Muslim wants to leave Islam, they will be killed. Christians don’t know their religion and will deny it but the punishment is the same for Christianity.

Irrelevant to topic.

Time Pass

Agreed with Unos.. the “scare” is not required for people to behave themselves and not kill and rape as they wish.

Yes it is. Read above the streetlight example.
**
Also for rape/murder etc. there are laws to deter people. Come on that is so easy concept to grasp.**

You think people will be nice and not commit crime on their own, unless deterred? **

If you do then I am wasting my time.**

Diwana - I am not grabbing your concept at all. I totally disagree with it. I just wanted you to admit that** religion is intentionally scaring people and imparting delusion on them in an effort to have them behave themselves.
**

**What is wrong with that?

If people ‘behave’ in this way, then so be it. Besides, laws against rape/murder in your opinion are imposed on people just to scare the heck out of them? No. Intention is good my friend.

Ideal society is where people follow both religion (correctly)and follow laws of land meant for greater good for fellow human being.

I suggest you read above posts carefully. Thanks.
