all religion is evil

Every one of you is forgetting that there is NO evidence whatsoever that a god even exists. Whatever religion you follow you base your beliefs on the so called word of god, which has been passed down over time. You put your faith in this even though you have never met god or seen any evidence of god's existence.

Religion is merely the prehistoric foundations of legal systems and common law designed as a method of controlling people. "It is the will of god"...how could you possibly know this? You can believe it but you cannot know it. How could you claim to know what god (if existing) thinks or sees? Believe what you want but please don't claim to know anything about god for sure unless you have evidence.

If god does exists I am sure he or she would be appalled at the way religion has created all prejudice, war and hatred known to man. Even the Koran and Bible speak of killing enemy combatants as being ok...very strange that with this clause a loving god would actually endorse or encourage war. Stupid sheep people say this means it is ok to kill enemy combatants who war against their god endorsed lives. This is preposterous as many wars have seen the same religions fighting each other and millions of innocent people die. War and religion is ALWAYS about money, revenge and power, never about god but it is always claimed to be. This is evil and those who support religion are evil sheep.
