When people are spending large amounts of their time on their religion or worse paying chunks of their salary to the church, itās not harmless. Refusing medical treatment, especially for your child, in the name of religion is batshit and dangerous.
Thatās before the utterly despicable wars and terror in the name of religion.

People who credit religion with saving people from illness make me cringe. My BIL had leukaemia as a child which he recovered from - his mother credits some visit to Knock in Ireland not the hard work of the doctors, the surgery or chemo. She went on and on about it then revealed they took three trips to Knock - to which I asked why it didn't work after the first trip .... 
Iād like to add Iām a complete hypocrite because I love a church wedding (any religion) or a baptism. I also adore Christmas Carol services.
At my old work place, someone in the mens toilets took a tit in the binI seem to be causing running trends this past few days from fig rolls tostories
I'd ban vaping in public as well. I don't care that that big cloud of carcinogenic chemicals you're blowing in my face smells of cherries or bananas and custard or whatever, it's still gonna give you cancer and I don't want it as well!
agreed on the above.
none of those things are really about religion though. Insidious people hijack religion and use it as an excuse for coercion, control and gaining power/money.
wars arenāt started because of religion because no religion truly advocates war (to my knowledge). It comes down to people being territorial, selfish and aggressive and using religion as a way to facilitate it.
I once got locked in a toilet cubicle at work new job so I was shy and I panicked and climbed over the connecting wall using the loo roll dispenser as leverage. Later on the caretaker had to open the door and all these women crowded around gasping as I had left loo roll coveting the toilet seat to protect my bum from germs as I piddled. Anyway, a woman who claimed she was psychic was saying " I always knew there was a weird presence there, never liked going in that one"
All of religion is just hijacked though. Even the āgoodā stuff.
100% this. I come from a Muslim background. People read the Daily Mail or watch news about terrorist attacks and assume that all Muslims are the same, and that all atrocities in the world are committed by us. When my grandfather died, I went to Mosque for the first time in my life for his funeral. Apart from it being very crowded, it was a wonderful experience. We wore hijab, but the majority of my family either don't wear it every day or choose to wear it. To me it's akin to Jewish men wearing a yarmulke to Synagogue.
A few years back there was uproar at a local school that wanted to take children to a Mosque for RE class and the parents were dead against it, and I fail to see how opening your mind a little bit to other religions is a bad thing.
Itās so hit and miss. Some stuff is cute but some of the skirts slide about
Before you know it is on back to front but if you size down it doesnāt cover your arse. Similar to this Zara is overrated. Theyāre just H&M with a higher price. Shite fit, they just stick any label on them, half the clothes are boring and if theyāre not boring theyāre impracticalā¦ oh finally a cute top thatās not a dull colourā¦oh wait, if I turn too quickly my tit will fall out and Iāll be arrested for flashing
Same with Oh Polly. Like how do you stay IN those dresses. My B cups would have flopped out in about20 minutes. Iām not a skinnygirl but Iām not plus size eitherā¦ that silk material reminds me of night dresses too
Everyone raves about them
People who have their dogs at their weddings are incredibly odd.
Pugs should all be put on a rocket and sent to space forever, the whole breed is a birth defect and inbred.

But religion IS about power. Religion is used and has been used for millennia to control the masses; thatās one of the fundamental things about it, it was used as a tool to get the people to behave in a way that was deemed appropriate by whichever governing body was in power at the time. If you canāt make a group of people believe in a higher power - you can control them and therefore make them do whatever you want. As history has proven time & time again. Also, churches/religious groups are so full of horseshit itās unbelievable. One
Of the most powerful and wealthiest groups on earth is the Catholic Church - if they wanted to, they could end world hunger and put and end to world poverty etc etc etc but they donāt!
For me thatās what religious faith is not what you can see but the comfort you get from it, if your MIL got her prayers answered and that miracle then itās done itās job .Thereās thousands travel to Lourdes every year hoping for the same thing if you donāt believe you wouldnāt understand it.People who credit religion with saving people from illness make me cringe. My BIL had leukaemia as a child which he recovered from - his mother credits some visit to Knock in Ireland not the hard work of the doctors, the surgery or chemo.

You did say christianity which includes catholics, protestants, orthodox etc.. I can't speak for any of the other branches of christianity but I was brought to mass every Sunday until I was about 12/13. I was dragged kicking and screaming to massI wasnāt talking about the Catholic Church, as someone who was brought up as a Rangers fan you wouldnāt catch me dead in a Catholic Church.
As I said I think itās a great thing to have faith and something that mabye gives you more meaning in life rather than just the shallow society we live in today. As the other poster said that Iām part of the problem if I donāt go, yeah I am thatās why Iv thought about going to church before but I never have, I wasnāt brought up with religion we spent Sunday morning in pyjamas watching tv as most families do. I think itās nice that families get up, dressed and go to church together on a Sunday, you probably get more adults that spend their Sunday morning recovering from a cocaine and alcohol binge the night before than going to church. Obviously not everyone is going to agree with that but that why I posted it on the unpopular opinion thread
my parents stopped going when my siblings and I said no more! I still wonder why would they be so adament on bringing their children to something they don't even really believe in. If anything dragging me to mass made me resent a religion that I didn't sign up for, then as a teenager I learned the horrors of my parents generation with the church and that was just it for me. Some people find a lot of happiness in religion and that's great but me personally, I couldnt think of anything worse than going to mass
They have ruined Ribena. It used to be nectar of the gods. I would rather treat myself to 1 can of full sugar cola a week than have drinks with sweeteners in every day - the flavour is just not there - they taste chalky to me.
But it wasnāt āa miracleā - it was a mixture of luck & medical intervention. The outcome would have been the same had the 3 trips to Knock never happened. Same as those who go to Lourdes to seek help for whatever it is they feel they need intervention with.
Exactly, I read it clogs your lungs up with oils that your lungs donāt know how to get rid of. If you are going to quit smoking, use patches, vaping should not be the alternative.
The little known third verse of popular hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful sums it up nicely:
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.
In other words, donāt question authority plebs.
