Religion ruins everything?

No.

Humans, ruin much, but not everything.

Humans, have severely clouded the message of the Bible deliberately under the tutelage of their father Satan. Yet, for those who desire to do their homework, the Bible's clarity is freely available.

Atheists of your ilk have been around for almost 500 years now. That means you've rejected religion for over 500 years. Meaning you've been unencumbered by religion for over 500 years now. So why haven't you guys all come together and produced the advanced civilization you're always claiming you would have without religion? You've had over 500 years to achieve it, (and the soviet union and communist china are your best results so far). Why haven't you created any greater works of art and music than the Christian artists and musicians who are still today heralded as unparalleled artistic geniuses? You've had 500 years to work up your muses. Why is it that the only scientific revolution in human history still only belongs to Christendom? Seriously, 500 years, that's half a millennium, where are all the great achievements of the atheists? All you do is sit around and whine about how great it would be without religion. In the mean time, religious people are out there making the world better. Thank you desmond tutu. ____ Edit: nice try, but Sweden has the highest population of atheists in the EU @ roughly 23%. That's no where close to 50% as you're claiming. The UK is even lower. And I am fairly certain those stats don't take into account the difference between atheist and non-religious And as far a Japan, most of the religions in Japan does not require a belief in a God, but they are very much still religions. Here again where you seem to not have made a distinction between atheist and non-theistic

God only has three answers for us yes, later and no. No often seems unfair to us(believe me I know how it feels), but you have to remember that God says no for very good reasons. He wants to protect us. Even if the situation looks promising he can see things later on down the line. Have you ever disobeyed God's "no" only to end up heartbroken in the end. I can think of several times that I regret not listening to God.

Besides, it's not religion ruining things, it's OUR actions.

Perhaps you should specify which religion you dislike.

There are many obscure religions that you probably never heard about. And if you don`t know every religion, then condemning them all is a bit ignorant.

Try a cool,refreshing beverage. Religion hasn't done a damn thing to ruin that.

GOD put you in this special religion respect it

Dont make it as if it is a bad thing

i am christian and i believe that the people, the people, not the faith, causes damage. But so do school teachers, politicians, police, anyone in a position of authority can abuse that power.

Yeah, loving your neighbours and being free of hatred really sucks.

It can ruin a lot of things.
