In defence of religion (18)
wayward19Vancouver, British Columbia Canada35 Threads 117 PostsIt seems that everything said about religion is negative and only focus on the bad things. Very little is mentioned about the good. There is far more good things that came from real religious people than atheists and agnostics combined.

I am, believe me, only thing that comes close, is that for some, who have a deep faith, it can sometimes help them overcome their problems, but, then again, I have no faith and have always overcome my lifes problems one way or another

Hospitals run by religious groups, food and shelter for street people, schools built and maintained by volunteers, urban support systems in most cities, drug treatment centres, orphanages, free clothing and food to the poor, not to mention volunteer work in 3rd world countries. There is bad in everything, it's easy to point the finger without looking at ourselves.

The only real faith (IMO) is in oneself, I have total belief in me, I know that wherever I am ant any time of my life, the only person I can truly depend on is me, maybe that is a form of faith, not sure, but hey it works for me

wayward19: Not in all cases.I've worked in a couple of religious organizations and not once was religion promoted. Also a lot of other faiths were employed by the same Catholic based institutions such as hospitals.
I have yet to see a school run by Catholics that doesn't promote their own religion, in a hospital, I have no experience, but doubt they are doing it out of kindness, every religion uses whatever means to convert those around them to their faith, by allowing other faiths to work with them it just makes them look better, but the underlying trend is still there. IMO

It may depend on what country you live in. Here in Vancouver Canada we have a number of organizations run but religious groups and only a few push their beliefs while others are open to discussion and respect what others think.
