Question: God is good, religion stinks! Now isn't that a good way to say what most sensible people are thinking!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
How do you know what sensible people are thinking!?

Just curious!.

I don't know that religion, itself, stinks!. I think perhaps what stinks is what people do to it that stinks!.

As for god or the concept of god, that's a personal choice for the individual!. For me, it's an open question!.

As for sensible people, I don't dare assume what they are thinking!. It's enough to be accountable for what I am thinking!. And most days, that's a wild ride!Www@QuestionHome@Com

"God is good" is a faith claim and non-demonstrable so I don't see how you can be sensible (or better 'reasonable') in claiming it!.
Some religion undoubtedly does stink, but in a lot of societies organised religions are doing more for poverty and hardship than any other organisations public or private!.
In Britain, the Archbishop of Canterbury's recent House of Lords speech on economic inequality is a solid attack on current financial thievery whether or not he believes in God!.

I'm an atheist myself, and still sensible about religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

God and religion both are good but it is the fanatics and the religious heads that make religion stink!.on one hand they say God is one!. But there are different religions and there different heads who preach the same!.so a contradiction arises about which God is true and which is fake!. if Jerusalem was the religious place of both Muslims and Christians then why was the battle of crusades fought!. was it for the same holy land which was drenched in the blood of both the communities!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well that's what I think!.
I believe in God!.
But all the other crap is too hard to believe!.
So I just stick to "I believe in God!.", when someone asks my religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

God is God an infinite perfect entity, religion is a man made entity, with all the flaws humans are capable of creating!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think what most sensible people would agree with Kahlil Gibran --> "Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am an athiest!. I do not believe in god and there is nothing you can say to ruin my day!!! haha!!! ; P

And i am sensible, Idiot!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

God is inside you!. Religion is outside!. How can they even be used interchangeably!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, isn't religion tied strictly to god!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
