Parents Are Mad After A Lesbian Couple Gets Voted Prom King And Queen By Their Classmates

Did he tell you that personally? ;-)

There is a story about it.

A story from the same book with the talking donkey in it? A story from the book that says the earth is flat? A story from the book that says the earth is the center of our universe and planetary system? Does the sun go around the earth? A story from the book where jesus says you can actually move mountains with prayer alone? Go move a mountain with prayer. A story from a book where jesus is talking to a group of people where he told them, surely he will return before some of them have died? He never returned in their lifetime [Matthew 16:28].

Hinduism? Buddhism? They don’t seem to cause problems

Hinduism and buddhism cause less problems, but they still cause some problems. Almost all religions are misogynistic where women are viewed as less than men (this includes buddhism and hinduism). Hinduism says that the world rests on the back of giant turtle. That's just silly. To teach someone that as truth is harmful. You should look at the dhalia lama in Tibet. The buddhists had a very detrimental class/caste system, some people were treated as slaves. The dhalia lama used to rule with an iron fist and he even had people killed. Hinduism has that very harmful classist, racist caste system still happening. Hindus with darker skin are treated awfully (forced to clean toilets/outhouses, etc.). Go work with large groups of Indian people, you will see that hindus treat some other hindus very badly. Why do you need any religion and unverifiable claims? Just study science.

Good points. But isn't the caste system system only with Indian people? Those who practice the religion outside of India do not have the sexism and caste issues?

If you are looking for the least harmful religion, maybe look into Jainism. Jainists are strict vegans and they are against harming any living beings including the tiniest bugs.

This is not the place to win souls for your church. Just because some religion or a bible/q'uran gets mentioned doesn't mean it's ok to shove your religion and life choices in everyones face. Nobody wants that, ESPECIALLY not on bored panda. F off

The caste system was abolished a long time ago. It was not in the original version of the vedas or puranas, it was added later on by people trying to exploit others. Besides, I'm pretty sure that many smart people, no matter the religion are trying to weed out the impractical and harmful practices and beliefs of their religion and sticking to the good part. We have advanced and must adjust our beliefs as such. What was good then might not be good now. It is written in the vedas that we must not believe blindly, but test the theories presented and find out for ouselves.

Tell me, Terd. I asked you this before, but you never replied. Who creates science? What happens after death?

Noemie, I am not sure that people created all of science; a lot of aspects are more of a discovery. Did people create fire? No. Fire existed and people were able to harness and discover it. The Arabic numerals, did people create them? It is more of a discovery. We’ve always had 10 fingers, but it took someone to discover the principles of numbers and arithmetic. These things exist in the natural world. Nothing happens after death. That’s the natural order. Our particles get broken down and some feed the soil, plants, and worms. What happens to a chimpanzee after death in your view? Do they go to a chimp heaven? We had common ancestors with chimps, so at what point evolutionarily do chimps go to heaven?

So typical. Just because someone has a certain religion (or lifestyle) doesn't mean they're a professor in the matter and have to precisely everything. That's like saying you're not allowed to enjoy a donald duck comic, because you're not a comic nerd that knows every detail about marvel and dc and the most obscure characters that have ever existed in any comic Stop perstering people

The abrahimic religious texts are provably wrong. They are filled with thousands of contradictions, failed scientific claims, historical inaccuracies, sometimes forgeries, and errors. When these books say the earth is flat, that's wrong. When these books say they are inerrant, and we can see contradictions in them, they prove themselves wrong. When these books say the earth is center of our planetary system, we know they are wrong. When these books promote an evil morality, we know they are wrong. When these books condone slavery, and rape, and stoning gay people to death, we know they are wrong and evil.

You'll likely never see an evangelical Buddhist. :-)

Paul, that is a fascist approach. I agree that religion usually causes more harm than good in these current times (it had more uses in ancient times). But, the answers is never fascism. Should we lock the religious in concentration camps like the Jews? No. People should have the freedom to choose what to believe. They should also be educated too. Education will likely be the only thing to hinder religion. Same thing with flat earthers.

Hi Curry, Matthew 5:32 states that divorce is adultery. And Leviticus 20:10 says to stone adulterers to death.

Ivana, where did you hear this? What is your source of information? I’m sorry to say you are just incorrect. Talk to some high level university biblical scholars. You can’t just trust something you read on the internet that makes you feel better about these evil holy books.

Zaza, that is incorrect. Where did you get that information? You should talk to the best university level biblical scholars on the subject. What you are bringing is unverified trash from the internet. It may make you feel a bit better about your evil holy book, but it's wrong. The bible also says to stone adulterers to death. Should we really kill every adulterer? That would be a gigantic portion of humanity including many peoples' parents. The bible says to stone people to death that do any work on the sabbath day (even just moving sticks). Should we kill firemen that work on the sabbath? This book is straight up evil. These books also condone slavery.
