Is organized religion obsolete?

Is organized religion obsolete?

In a word. Yes

So why is Islam growing in leaps and bounds year by year?

No. It is a unifying force, and unity has proved to be vital in the US and Middle East and elsewhere.

>religion has united the middle east
Wew lad.

Unity against ISIS is the only thing which will stop it.

Every religion goes through similar cycles. They start out expanding at a huge pace, gaining heaps of converts. But after a while the pace slows, infighting ensues, fractures appear, converstions slow down and the religion begins its slow decline. It happend with the jews and christianity, it is happening with Islam too

Yes.

But most Muslims support what ISIS believes, according to polls.

Most Muslims =/= All organised religion

yes.

No, and never will be really.
Lifelong athiest here, but I'm not an autist, and see what religion gives people.
Community, connection to their neighbors, social connections, a sense of belonging. The vast majority of church goers don;t buy 99% of whats preached.
The only religion that's really a problem is Islam, because it's locked in the fucking dark ages, and it's core tenants will never allow it to leave.
Most religions are a net good for society, believers and non believers alike, Islam needs to be forcibly ended though.

Really ISIS is the muslim KKK. They just hate everything that isnt exactly like them. Really the only difference between the KKK and ISIS is the white bed coverings and the fact that ISIS has the balls the bring about their war of apocalypse. KKK are just content pissing and moaning about it

Christianity hasnt been that much better for the past 1900 years or so and is still to this day a huge reason for the spread of aids and other diseases in the devoloping world

>developing world
Don;t care. Christianity is the scapegoat, but illiterate retards who can;t figure out how to take care of themselves are gonna give each other aids and shit no matter what religion is dominant.
And I don't care what anything was like more than 100 years ago, its completely irrelevant.
Islam = the worst of the worst ideas on how to conduct yourself NOW
Christianity = Perfectly acceptable mantra on life NOW.

It's also been the primary motivator for the vast majority of scientific researchers looking into cures. Whoops.

Religion in itself is obsolete.

Ricky Gervais says it right: "If we lost all knowledge, and had to start all over, science textbooks wouldn't change much. But you wouldn't get a repeating discovery of Bible Scriptures."

Yes well just because you are a cunt doesnt mean that what you are saying isnt any less crap. Christianity is not the scape goat if it is going around telling people who take their religion seriously they are going to burn in hell when they use condoms or other forms of birth control. Despite of your contempt for Islam, it has done far more for humanity as a whole then christianity ever will

But if that happened, we would form religion much much sooner than we formed science. It's more important to us emotionally.

Science is the antithisis of religion. So much so that your comment is comical farce. The vatican has been an impediment to science since its inception

That's pretty wrong.
Religions is rediscovered constantly.
It just takes different forms, now a days it's cloaked in a political mask.
Communism, Progressivism, feminism, intersectionality, they're all religions.
Its no coincidence it's the young and low IQ that throw themselves into these things and ignore all the cognitive dissonance it requires to buy into it and function in the real world.

Fedora "atheists" like to ignore there's a fuck of alot more to religion than just belief in a god. I'd say the vast majority of "athiests" are devoutly religious, worshiping government, this nebulous thing they don;t understand but they need to supply them with everything they need.
I'm an Atheist by the way, but a real one, not just a kid who heard smart people are atheist so me want be smart too lemme regurgitate some stuff hitchens said once.

dude, lrn to bait.
it goes on the hook, you don;t just throw it at the fish.

All the major scientific breakthroughs have come from religious men. Try again.

...

he's right though

Of course not.

Isis has tens of thousands of people willing to die for their cause, all with access to military grade weapons.

Also, the KKK is strictly nonviolent today. BLM has killed more people in the past couple years than the KKK has for the past almost 50

Can you name a single major scientific breakthrough prior to 1950 that wasn't from a religious man?

Only recently have atheists started doing anything. Religion is a huge motivator for good.

Again, ISIS (the muslim KKK) has the testicular fortitude to walk their talk

The white KKK are a bunch of fat inbred pussies.

It's easy to walk the talk when Saudi Arabia and Qatar are spending literally billions on arming and paying you to.

When Laplace presented Celestial Mechanics to Napoleon he was asked, why god had no place in his work. Laplace responded "Sir I have no need for this hypothesis". Thats just one example. There are many more

Bitch please, if the KKK was half as ballsy as ISIS they could be just as well armed just with what you can buy at walmart

not him but you are a moron pic not related

>Machine guns
>Rpgs
>Planes
>A fucking economy
