Who is to blame? Religion or the People?

Question: Is religion the source of the crime or the people abusing religion?

Answer:I give you a book that is saying you have to kill any Jamaican citizen. You do so. Who is to blame? The book for saying it or you for doing it?

Religion and God were essential for the survival of human race, religion is part of human evolution but like many other things in the evolution religion will be replace with knowledge and a better understanding of the Universe and life.

The teaching of the many religions were crucial for the time being but it is you that need to make the decision if the same laws are still valid today.

Let say polygamy, at one point in the time it was crucial that one man had many wives, many mens got killed in the wars, if it was not for plural marriage the tribe may not even survived and so many of us wouldn't be here.

But does the same situation is necessary today?

I see religion as tool. A tool to human survival. A physiological tool. Religion like many other tools are being replaced by new tools and idea. We don't need A God to tell us "do not kill" , we have laws of the land. You kill you go to prison.

Moses 10 commandment where essential for the survival of the Israelites tribe, there was no police, prisons, judges and courts, Moses needed a law from a powerful God to keep the tribe under control and stopping them of killing each other and stealing commit adultery.

So back to your question, I blame the people for still using an old tool in a new era.

We have replaced Horses with Cars but we are still using religion for our moral and emotional understanding.

Do you know if we would follow the old testament and use it as our guide for moral believe, we would be ending up in prison? The old testament punishment for stealing, killing and many others are called gruesome in today’s standard. And this goes with every religion, Islam, Judaism, Christianity. Each had a different way of teaching based on the culture it was found in.

Archeology uses the shape of tools and the time stamp and place to determine the origin of it and the tribe it was used in. Now days basic tools such as fork, knives, cooking pot around world looks kind of similar.

So is the religion, the basic teachings are the same, with minor tweaks to fit in the country and culture was teached in. Nowadays the teaching of Islam, Christian and Judaism is not necessary for human survival, and if one to believe in it for its emotional and moral support, that person has not grown into the next face of human kind.

Today in order for us to grow and move forward we have to set aside religion and look into the future. We need to deal with religion as we have done with many tools from the past, religion belong into the museums and not in our daily lives anymore.

We need to respect and preserve our religious past but remember the important part of it, that is belong to the PAST.

This is why so many wars and hate is being spread in the name of religion and God. some are using the old teaching and laws to justify their action and hunger for power and money.

Muhammad had its way of dealing with criminal because there was no High security Prisons, there was no Gang unite and SWAT team, he had to use harsher punishments for the one that commit crimes. But do we have to follow the same laws today?

Catholic church killed over 50.000 women in the name of witchcraft because they did not want women to gain any power and control, why do you think that Da Vinci code made such a name for itself, because it is saying that the high priest next to Jesus was Marie Magdalena.

This idea makes the church look likes criminals, which in my mind they are.

So you see how the idea of religion was necessary than but not today anymore.
