Is Religion a force for Good TODAY?

Ask yourself what religion contributes to society TODAY. How will the world change without religion?

Let me ask you, is it possible for religious charity to run their organization without any strings attached? Does all the money donated to religious charity go straight to helping or does some go to prothelytizing and building churches or simply increase the wealth of the churches and their heirachies. .

Yes it does, as does extra money raised by Churches, fetes, etc.

Churches raise their own money for building etc.......

I know the difference Bob, do you?

Incorrect, the majority of wars are not the direct the result of religion. But if you believe your going into war by mandate from God if makes everything so much worst. Everything is possible and permissible if you believe God is on your side. 

...whose side is god on then? when the mind of man cannot conceive that which is his god? both sides seem to think they can and in my view that's the ultimate arrogance.

To coin a brilliant turn of phrase:  Tell me, what is God to you? Has he abandoned you? Is he such a worldly god that he must play at politics in the filth of conspiracy? Is he not divine?  (Sir Francis Walsingham)

Oh wait...that's right, that pertained to another period where religion was used to overthrow Kings and Queens.

Blessed are the cheesemakers...lol (all I said was Jehovah)

right...who threw that?

No some of the money go towards prothelytising. You would find many (I won't say all) religious charities help people but with strings attached. Casing in points. Mother Teresa and her charity was allegedly getting about 50 million a year. Almost nothing is spent on her dying chamber so where did the money go?

What does Religion contribute to society today, Bob? IMO, not much!

When a homeless person is freezing on a cold night, he goes to the labor party headquarters and not THE  CHURCH MISSION....RIGHT?

I promise the religious are doing more to help the homeless and hungry every day than   bob and you have done your entire friggin lives.

what would you know about what Bob or I have done? Absolutely nothing!
but you go right ahead and think what you want to think!

Looks as though you're doing enough *God Bothering* for the pair of us!  ;\
