Is There Good In All Religions?
80 Answers
There are sincere people in all religions. It is good that God sees those people and cares about them.
But sadly, religion has been used for evil ends. (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4)
News reports show some religions are even involved in terrorism, genocide, war.
How this must sadden sincere believers in God!

William Blake : The Fly
Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

Togo@ Wises King Solomon of ancient Israel gave this advice: “Go to the ant.” Why did he say this? What can we learn from ants?
(Proverbs 6:6-8) Those words of long ago express truths discovered by modern-day naturalists.
The ant’s natural course implies that humans should plan ahead and be hard workers. This applies in school, at work, and in spiritual activities. As the ant benefits from its industriousness, so God wants humans to ‘see good for all their hard work.’ Like busy ants, true Christians do a good day’s work. They ‘do with their might what their hands find to do,’ not because a boss is watching, but out of honesty and with a desire to be industrious, profitable workers.—Ecclesiastes 9:10;

goodlife //[The Bible] contains counsel on marriage, rearing children ...//
It says that the woman is a possession of and must always obey her husband. Children should be stoned to death for disobedience. Same sex attracted people should be killed and rapist must marry his victim.
The advice given by the Bible has no backing in rationality. Its only support is the ridiculous claim by stupid, ignorant, immoral people that it is "the word of God".

Ants do what they do because of chemical signals. In essence they are automatons. This is exactly what religion wants of its followers. To do as they are told without question.
Religious people have been and always will be dangerous people.

PeelerPal // Everybody has a god but not all will admit to who or what their god is. Atheists are religious, evolutionists are religious, avid football fans are religious...The issue is knowing that you are religious//
This ridiculous claim has been debunked so many times it hardly warrants a reply.
Religion is about holding a belief without the need of rational evidence. Science is about accepting only those things which have evidence to support them.
There is zero evidence for the existence of any gods. Hence atheism is the default state, not a religious belief.

Beso@you really don't understand the Bible do you? I have said it time and time again, you never will understand. You call yourself educated, maybe by worldly standards but certainly not by Bible standards. God chooses the meek not the intelligence of this world. Jesus said that those who were like little children would inherit the Kingdom, in other words, those who were teachable. Are you teachable? What you really need is a Bible Study.

The religious have been telling us for millennia that Jesus will return and the meek will be chosen. Still not even the tiniest sign, despite the story from Jesus that it would happen within the lifetime of some in His audience. Nearly two thousand years late for the appointment and yet the fools still wait.
Christianity is a nothing more than a Cargo Cult. You wait for the fabled return of your deity and you will wait forever.

Does your god avoid the intelligent or do the intelligent avoid your god?

\\ So how did you learn what you know? From an early age we all learn from books or were you so exceptional that you did not need books, were you born with the knowledge you have supposedly acquired? How idiotic your response!//
goodlife, you were taught to read, or were you so exceptional you did not need a teacher?

Did you not know all people are inclined to worship someone or something, even if it is to worship one’s own self. The person who sourly says, “I do not worship anybody or anything!” is really a worshiper of himself. He makes himself a human god, but due to his egotism he is unaware of that fact.
Yep he prides himself in the presumptuous idea that he gives worship to nothing whether alive or lifeless. (John 4:22)
