Thread Name: BS: Is Religion Rubbish?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Religion Rubbish?
I wonder if all religions are inherently violent, even Buddhism (ok, not a real religion) with its involvment in the war in Sri Lanka - very violent on both the Hindu and Buddhist sides.
I'm happy with 'live and let live' but wonder if we would be better standing on our own two feet and not constantly passing the buck when the going gets tough, to some imaginary person, whatever name you decide to give her/him/it. I think it is the continuous seeking for someone else to solve your problems and take the blame which gets my goat the most.
