The World Doesn’t Need Religion :: Free Argumentative Essays

The World Doesnt Need ReligionReligion has screwed us up for a long time and wed be better off without it. By us I mean Americans living in the 21st century. Without trusts we would confound fewer labels separating us from each other and we wouldnt hate Jews or Catholics or Muslims. If we didnt have religions, we wouldnt have to convert anyone or save anyone. If we didnt have religions, slew could no longer get caught up in the fine lines of apparitional rightousness or be trapped in a double-standard morality. And most importantly, we would be truly free of religious engendered guilt that never quite goes away. In America, people are less tolerant than before and words equivalent Jew, Muslim, and Christian set us off and make us insane because we connect these labels with violence and war. We are planning to attack the axis of unholy and in giving Iraq this label, we assume a moral duty on our part and the devil on theirs. There is no simple reaction to the problems in th e Middle East which are daily getting more and more out of control. But adding quasi-religious labels pushes us farther apart(predicate) and increases the tension and opposition on all sides. I grew up in a Catholic family and went to Catholic grade crop and high school and I dont regret it. It was an interesting experience and surely formed a great part of my character. But looking back, I see that the corpse of organized religion is rigged and the deck is stacked more in favor of the church than it is in favor of the faithful. Consider for a act the Christian need to convert and save people, two more activities that could be done away with if we didnt have religion. Converting more followers keeps the organized religion afloat and promising salvation is the hook that gets peoples attention. No one knows what happens subsequently death. But some religions offer a promise of heaven or hell and, like children, we willing believe in this fantastic tabby tale. On another not e, the church introduces us to the concept of guilt and tells us we are guilty even before we are born. This is the most paradoxical thing I have ever heard. Nontheless, if we find God, or Jesus, or convert, or confess before we die, were saved.
