[QUOTE="Weasel, post: 403402, member: 9520"] This idea for a debate came to me after seeing our resident kindergartners/off-topic posters ([USER=37998]@Rommel[/USER] & [USER=71840]@Sent[/USER]) argue about something related to this in another debate. Let me set something straight first: this thread is [B]not [/B]about which religion you believe in, and also it's existance is [B]not being debated[/B]. There are already enough threads about those subjects. Even though it's a hard one to debate, the question itself is easy to understand. As the title says, is religion good or bad for humanity? I mean this in terms of freedom, progression, hope, well-being, etc. Let me give an example. Most religions have supressed science for a long time. Without it, we made have progressed way further in terms of technology. However, religion also have laid down some basic "rules" for people on how to get along with eachother (don't turn this into a discussion about extremists, please). Believing in something gives some people hope and strength, which without it wouldn't have been there. So, let's debate! [/QUOTE]
