Antiquated Religious Beliefs: A Major Part of The Problem? »

Posted By marshfrog 9 months ago in Religion

From the page: "We don’t drive around in vehicles that are thousands of years old. We don’t see chariots running down our streets. Yet, many of us cling to dysfunctional and problematic religious belief systems that are thousands of years old literally. These religions are mainstream, active, and destructive.

        The page seems to be different and unique. I also agree with your opinion. I think that the religious beliefs are based on the person but not on the community.

          According to me the good thing about the religious benefits is that , one can have good control over the mind and stop many injustice acts.

              Religious beliefs are what we do follow since our ancient times. These some times have good impacts but some people go crazy of this religious beliefs, in such situations it can lead to a worse condition. And it is a good thing that one can have control over the mind.
