I see from these posts that religion and God for most here triggering associations with specific negative historical and theological aspects. Please look at post #167 where I tried to clarify the difference between theology and a value system, which is what I am concerned with. Furthermore I am not denying the negative aspects. One thing I am trying to do is put it in perspective in relation to the comfort and meaning it has given to millions.
Saying religion should be abolished because of its historical abuses is like saying you want to abolish car travel because of accidents.
