Dont you see it, or do you?

Dont you see all the bad things religion has done/is doing? Doesnt that make you think?

All the hypocrisy, all the pain and suffering it has caused? I dont think that religion is a totally bad thing. But you have to admit it has countless bad qualities. Why cant you see those? Or do you see them and you just choose to ignore them? Or do you think all those things are justified?

Update:

I am sorry for generasing, if i write proper long questions noone will read them :(, I had none intent in generalsing, although it would be possible if that was my purpose.

You cant possibly compare a religion to a country, I am talking about the bad things they are doing NOW not in the past, and compared to those good things, I dont think the good things are vast.

And yes, I am satan.

    You sound like Satan.

    Is Satan talking through you?

    Maybe so?

    Some people who claim to follow a religion have done bad things in its name, just as some people who pledge allegiance to a country have done bad things in its name. That doesn't make the country, or the religion, a bad thing, especially considering the vast good that has been done by many countries and religions.

    Too much generalisation.

    Not every religion in the world is causing suffering+pain. You'll be forgiven for thinking so, though, when the 3 major world religions are of the Abrahamic flavour.

    I find it more and more amazing that there aren't riots and fights targeting christianity and Islam every single year. :P

    It would help if you would list at least one example of the "countless bad qualities". Assertions without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
