Religion is like a Penis

[coolcoinz]

Ha ha ha ha
 
really?

Religion only creates pain and suffering for all the people of the world

Just watch the news

Notonly pain and suffering. It also helps dying people reach peace in their last moments. I understand religious people, it's nice to have something to believe in when you're all alone. That someone is watching and helping you and your dead relatives and friends are waiting for you in heaven. I know it's all bullshit, but it has a purpose. There are many people in history who achieved great things because of faith.

Saw this quote years ago and it still makes me chuckle. That's basically what religion is. Can't seem to stop the shoving it down the throat part though. That's how religion propagates itself. A large portion of people who are following a religion is largely due to being brought up into that religion.

No Child's Behind Left.  

....
Priests are famous for shoving both penis and religion down children's throats (hence the double entendre, making the meme funny)

Not really funny... the numbers make me sick!
.....

But only because you KNOW the numbers.

By contrast, anyone suggesting impropriety by clerics in a Muslim nation would be quickly shut up.

Or like the writer Salmon Rushbie, who did just that, he'd get a worldwide Fatwa, a death sentence.

Why assume Muslims are child molesters simply because catholics are?

You realize the catholic priests molesting children is directly caused by their prohibition against priests being married... right?

Do Muslim imams have a prohibition against marriage?  No... hence, false equivalence

I think what Spendulus meant was that in case of Christian clerics, it's way easier to find the minimum number of abuses. Mostly because in most Christian-majority countries, the law has secularized.

I suppose if someone would be able to find the number of abuses committed by imams, it might equal those by priests. Or even exceed them.

The crimes committed by the Muslim clerics are seldom reported, because of their powerful position in the society. A few years back, there was an incident in my hometown, when a madrassa (Muslim religious school) teacher sexually abused 40 or 50 of his students (both male and female, most of them below 10 years of age). The incident was quickly hushed up, and the teacher was transferred to another madrassa.

It seems to me that any person should have been ashamed to start even a topic with this name. I do not understand why so many people are against religion and their faith.

[hugoworld]

Perfectly, completely agree with you. Your ideas on religions made my day. Religions must be individual thing . Please , do not put your reli-penises on our throats all the time.

FWIW, I have no shame... only people with fear have shame

I have thousands of reasons to be against religion... religion does more harm than good

Religion teaches people to believe in things without evidence (faith), and to be proud of it, this is a harmful behavior

Religion is a huge waste of time

Religious people are often very cruel... religion has been used to condone slavery, genocide, and bigotry of all forms including discrimination against women and homosexuals

It's not even close... religion is EVIL... religion causes people to do EVIL things *cough* child raping priests *cough*

“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”

You need something like religion to convince a person they are doing a good deed by flying a plane into a building and killing hundreds of innocent people (9/11, suicide bombers, etc)

I do not know what religion really is like, but it is the incinerator of wars and the management of people. Many can not begin to live, because they are her slaves and live by all sorts of scriptures.

The fact is that each of us has our own thoughts and desires, but we need to respect them and confess each person. It's still a human relationship. They're animals. Therefore, it is necessary to be more lenient towards those who believe in anything and what they think.

Sigh. This is why we really need massive secularization of the state. If the religious elite can still keep on abusing their power in secular countries, just imagine if the religious establishment actually have a larger control the government, like how things have been in the past.

That madrassa incident reminds me of erring parish priests. How where they able to completely hush it? Did they manage to bribe media as well? I just hope enough people managed to hear of it through social media, at least they'd be able to protect their kids by moving them to a different madrassa or cautioning them of possible abuses.

Religion is usually based on the teachings derived from their ancestors, many religious people who do not understand what the purpose of their religion, because they only inherited it from his ancestors. Because often the crime that in the name of religion .

It completely pisses me off every time a few friends from a certain religion try to give me reasons why I should convert to their super 'holy' religion. The world will be so much better to live in once people from different religions learn to tolerate each other.

[Sadlife]

Religions are nothing but a way to control humans and makes us human beings self righteous they say that they want but ask money in church but watch the poor starve to death. I hate how the vatican preach about how to give the poor and the helpless support but doesn't do anything to save this people, this hypocrites teach righteousness while they sit in their golden thrones and piles of cash while the people in poor countries like africa are dying from starvation and poverty. Why are there countless wars that has been declared all for the sake of religions, why are random meaningless murder all for the name of religion.

[Lieldoryn]

Religion is a penis that Fucks everyone who approaches him. This is of course not literally but metaphorically. Religion uses all believers for their own selfish purposes. I'm sorry that religious people do not understand.

[neon_colors01]

LMAO I agree with this though.
This is hilarious.

Im not religious myself but I believe in divinity..

True, it's annoying how religion is sometimes use to brainwash people.
Religion as the cause of something huge has always been history.
Wars and etc even marriage can be triggered because of religion.

It's a belief and people certainly do everything for what they believe.

I know it's not bad.
But it's annoying when forced
 hence the saying

"Dont wave it on public or shove it in my children's throat"

*rape*

I can't imagine religions ever tolerating each other

Most religions have texts with words like:

Deuteronomy 17:12 - Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death.  Such evil must be purged from Israel

Exodus 22:19 - Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed

Zechariah 13:3 - If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, “You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord.”  When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through

Deuteronomy 13:7-12 - If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.  Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.  You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.  And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst.

Deuteronomy 17:2-5 - Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden.  When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.

The bible is pretty straight-forward... god commands his followers to murder non-believers in at least 100 different places in the bible

With words like this in their "holy book", it is difficult for religions to "tolerate each other"

Being a religious Hindu, who had to flee his hometown to defend his religious views, I have to disagree with you. We take out religious processions in the public, as a message to the Christians that despite committing genocide against us, they can't force us to abandon our religion.

I honestly didn't realize groups of Christians are still committing genocide (other than USA bombing/invading countries)... I thought that ended with the dark ages, crusades, inquisition, witch hunts and slavery

How long ago did they attack your village?

At first the media was covering the incident. But then Muslim groups threatened them that every Muslim would boycott the media, unless they withdraw the story from their dailies and tv channels. The Muslim lobby is quite powerful around here, and so the media apologized to them and withdraw the news.

Happened almost two decades back. My people are still living in refugee camps in inhumane conditions. They can go back to their villages only if they are ready to convert to Christianity. The biggest joke is that all this happening in a country which is having a Hindu majority. Check this:

this type of comment is really destructive, everybody should respect every religion and belief, maybe someone cannot put faith on any religion or principle but they should not put any destructive comment or insult to any religion. I personally believe that every religion has some basement so we must respect religion...
