Personally I think everyone should take a chill pill on religion. If you look very closely at all religions and how alike they all are. Christianity also has many forms like Judaism, Catholic, Presbyterian, Quaker, ext. I was raised Quaker and even tried Buddhism for a year when I was 10. I think we should respect all forms of religion. Unless it's a like a cult that tries to kill people or other religions. And it doesn't if you believe there's a heaven or how you get up into heaven.

Judiasm is NOT a form of christianity! I know this 'cause I happen to be jewish scream .

I was talking about Messianic Jews, sorry to get you all worked up it was a simple error while typing. But Judaism is close to Christianity and Quakerism. I would know about that cause my Quaker meeting house shares is with a Jewish synagogue.

Just because we share religious text, doesn't make us close. There's a whole list of differing ethics and philosophies.

Sharing a religious text can make it close- identical, no- but close? I think- especially since Jesus was Jewish, Judaism and Christianity are in the same neighborhood.

They may be in the same neighborhood, but they're on different streets.

The real difference is that Christianity rearranges the order of the Jewish commandments importance. Anything else is filler- because the style isn't the core of the religions, they're not orthopraxic faiths.

No one of the differences in Judaism and Christianity is that,in the Jewish belief Jesus was a teacher and not recognized as a Messiah,while in Christianity they thought Jesus was god and he was in fact the Messiah.Both take two different directions in the way they see him.

None of which is that important because they worship the same god- their priorities on how they do that, by Love or by Law is the real difference.

Exactly people should stop looking at the differences. If we do then there will just be more fighting. Just like people, religions are all unique. So just like people there no reason they can't coexist as neighbors.

I think there are some religions that shouldn't be protected- not because of their beliefs but because of how they hurt others.

That's a very naive way to put it.You can't really stop people's views because everyone see's everything different.

That is true, like those who are in the KKK. But a lot of religions get bad raps cause there are some bad people in them. Like my friend who's Muslim, some random jerk called her a terrorist.

I say we should just destroy all faith and just accept that life is meaningless.

Yes, yes, and we can all descend into apathetic sedation and our whole society can simply cease, and everyone simply allow themselves to die, and it will be no loss, because life and society were meaningless to begin with.

...Or of course, we could just make the best of what we have, and rather than subscribe to the frankly ridiculous notion that life is meaningless; accept that we simply haven't discovered it's meaning yet, and likely never will.
I mean, since when did futility stop life from trying. That's one of the most wonderful things about life.
