An irrational institution whose relationship with the finer aspects of human nature is essentially that of a parasite on a host.

Get the religionmug. 1.An idea that is good at first, until it hatches into a belief, and, from there, a plague.
2.A belief system in false deities to comfort the human who is scared of death.

Get the religionmug. 1. Creates a sense of security for man in order to deal with his own mortality by putting himself at the centre of the universe.
2. Consequences include hindering human development as well as inciting mass murder of the human population consistently throughout history.
3. Used to keep in check the inherent human bloodlust. Which gives rise to distinct class differences as the more intelligent and influential can wield it at their will (see slavery).
4. Survives by indoctrination of the population almost at birth. Stipulates that severe punishment awaits those who deviate from its principles. Ironically punishment is dished out in this life rather than the next!!

Galileo a great man in history was continually subject to brutality, because what we know now as truth undermined religious doctrine.

Get the religionmug. A series of lies, myths, and associated bullsh*t that is used to excuse murder, violence, egotism and torture.
My religion says that everyone in your religion should die and burn in hell.
Yeah? Well MY religion says that everyone will be struck down by god if they don't follow it!
Atheist: Then how am I still alive...
SHUT UP INFIDEL!

Get the religionmug. If I alone believe in an imaginary being and state it publicly I would be understandably hospitalised. If I can get ten thousand others to believe the same thing I have tax free status for ever. Religion is the kidney stone of humanity.

Get the religionmug. overrated. Religion has been presented through out history as 'the way of life' or 'the true way to be happy after life'. In reality it is a way to manipulate, govern, and generally hate others without the normally required guilt. One may be allowed to participate in one religion, as all others are wrong. If one does not believe in a certain religion, they are doomed to eternal suffering. Religion has caused wars, death, murder, violence, riots, and general chaos through out history. For a purpose which was invented by man to potentially conform the masses to their every will.

Get the religionmug. The formula for all known religions is as follows:
"<Insert true/feasible fact here>, therefore <Insert outrageously untrue fact here>"
"<Insert true/feasible fact here>, therefore <Insert outrageously untrue fact here>"
Reginald likes to drink his tea with 2 teabags, therefore the Kiwi's of the sahara desert play the maracas every full moon as their religion dictates.
16 Chickens ate 10 Kilograms of chicken feed in 1 week, therefore small leprechauns live the shoes of families with 2 or more pets
The world exists, therefore God created it.
