You are reading what you want to read... Noone said that religion was the "main provider of all crap in the world," just that it is often a major player, which it is. Generally, it is more from intolerance fostered by some religions putting themselves up as the only true religion, with all others being wrong, than the religion itself preaching death and destruction... At least, in the modern post-WWII world...

Actually, it is wind... Few words have one single meaning to them...

Anyway my point is the dictionary does describes things on a broad basis and does indeed include as part of religion as "anything you follow with zeal" yet 90% of people I talk to (not all christians as I have said many times) say that it's generally only something that beleives in a god or some form of creator.

That is a huge logical fallacy. Just because a lot of people think something does not make it true. In this case, it is absoultely, 100% wrong. No gods or creators of any sort are required to classify a belief system as a religion. Spiritualistic belief systems that do not have any gods, but instead have guiding animal spirits, or ancestor spirits, or other such spirits, are most certainly religions. Belief systems that solely revere and worship nature, not in the form of a god, but just nature itself, are most certainly religions. Belief systems that have no divine, but instead view that we are all part of the universe experiencing itself in different ways, are religions. Belief systems that focus solely on achieving personal spiritual enlightment as a means to leave behind the perpetual cycle of reincarnation and enter a "heaven," and have no "divine" to speak of, are religions. The list goes on. God worship is just one tiny fraction of the spectrum of systems that are qualified as religions... |

/me impales and gores Narf with his horns and tusks, then eats him with his sharp teeth and gaping jaw.

Re: OT:Why Aliens dont come here
/me rips out of Fyron's stomach in an aliens-esque scene. "LOBOTOMIZE FYRON" was, of course, code for LOBOTOMIZE TIMSTONE.
