RE: [DMCForum] Religion is ?

If other beings are out there and are looking for intelligent life forms,
they probably would bypass Earth once they saw the current political
commercials.

Too me religion is an enigma.  What makes any religion better than another?

If religion brings people, then pagan religions win the award for 1000 
years under the Romans.

If numbers make a religion,  then Buddhism, shintoism, etc. of the 
eastern cultures  are the most prevalent.

If the most ecological religion wins the prize, then the religion of the 
american indians is the best.

One the other hand, more people have died in religious wars than for any 
other type of conflicts.

Religion was used as the primary justification to the public for 
enslaving the "heathen" indians in all of the americas and to steal 
their gold.

I still have not found any proof that a single deity religious system is 
any better than a multi deity system.


I can't wait until we find intelligent life in the universe or they find 
us!! There will be some "splainen" (ala desi arnes)  to do then!!!
