The questions I would like to discuss are about religion in general. Are religions a good thing, or a bad thing? Are there pros to believing in one religion? Are there cons? Are religions good for society, or do they hurt it? Would it be benificial for everyone to believe the same thing, or are there advantages in having many people with a variety of beliefs? Should someone come along and make up a new religion for others to follow and believe in, if it would benifit society as a whole, or does something like this hurt everyone?



I don't believe anything is good or bad unless it's used for good or bad, just as I don't believe anything or anyone is completely good or evil (with a few exceptions).

When religion is used to justify evil deeds, it's bad - or at least that aspect or usage of a religion is bad.

When religion enriches someone's life and state of mind in a healthy and positive way, it's a good thing.
