When does a religion stop being evil?

[sly_wolf 199]

Never. All religion should just be banned. ALL. Problem solved.

That sounds like communism.

You two seem confused. There are man made rules as to what is and isn't acceptable behaviour, right, wrong etc. These rules are the basis of being able to function as social beings - the problems arise when men pretend that there is some outside influence that ordains what is right or wrong, good or bad etc and some intrinsic belief in good versus evil. There is no outside influence, we create the rules, we need to accept the responsibilities of these rules (that people are responsible for the things that are 'wrong' in this world) because we made the rules in the first place. Of course, we are free to ignore them as we wish, we can believe that no rules apply to us, and many people do just that. If someone with a lot of power and influence breaks the rules you get war.

Were Jesus to have existed, he certainly wouldn't have been a viking.

Communism actually has a lot in common with religion. Banning the latter would necessarily mean to ban the former.
