Churches Social Harms

The church has a very important role in the society in any way, I What is suggested in this article that should be limited or prohibited, country, afterall, announced that it has to be a limit on the core freedom, they are forbidden, freedom of religion and freedom including the media. As Americans, we granted the time and place restrictions, and are guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, we choose to talk about whatever we want and the right to worship the way. Nevertheless, the Church of occasional efforts to alleviate problems such as hunger, disease, and homelessness, and deserve credit for their efforts, while the church in that area, it many church movements that are harmful to society should not be overlooked. Doctrine of the Church to continue to rise to numerous social ills and solutions for many problems interfere. The doctrine of the church is often gotten into the way of the family and between family members sometimes cause irreparable rifts, there is no need to mention.

Church Unitarian-Universalists, except the Bible as a guidebook about human behavior and promote. As a result, in the United States each year dozens died and those who in the name of God as defined in the Bible thousands, causing injury or abuse, and is Some treatment to beat the children, pending handle snakes, drink poison, hands and feet cut off, eyes pulled out, and the devil the devil driving seriously the teachings of the Bible. Tragedy, often children, sometimes they are the result.

In the field of politics, the Church and the Bible are responsible for most of the opposition to the idea of ​​progressive Women, the availability of contraceptives, stem cell research, the abolition of corporal punishment of children, the removal of the death penalty, for equal rights for the enactment of sex education for the elimination of discrimination against homosexuals, hostility of the major causes law schools, the teaching of religion marriage and divorce laws, dignity, and ensure liberalization and death. Interesting point 40 or 50 years ago, where "divorce" absolutely from the Church of the Most topics abhorred, and now more or less possible. Church banned divorce in the same way you saw the last time, had many rallies against homosexual marriage?

In addition, the church books, magazines, and the driving force behind the efforts to censor movies. Institute and the wall of separation between church and state in order to annihilate the sectarian and divisive religious practices in public schools, they are working. Teaching of creationism as a science, and the church often prohibit abortion to school children in society in general during the Dark Ages, efforts to impose Western civilization characterized jopgogwa type of discriminatory attitudes and.

AIDS, including at the international level of the third world, the opposition of the Catholic Church on contraceptives overpopulation and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases a major cause. Overpopulation, poverty, hunger, war, disease occurs. The ability of poor countries and economic development of people with disabilities. Why the Church to promote you? I do not understand people, or feel threatened by Bible teaching and enlightening the public because it did not know anything other than interpret literally can not guarantee the continued survival of his own?

Some fundamentalist church until Christ returns to the state of the world is constantly growing, according to the prophecies of the Bible, then teach. This doctrine to believe that some of their followers are trying to solve the world's problems, to no avail. Walter Lippmann explains the reason for the attitude: "All evil god to believe that somehow fit, mysteries, plans, religiosity, and the whole seems to be in vain, they also prevention efforts."

Similarly, Thomas Paine, certainly people are willing to bottle as a prediction that he Want to do, "he pointed out. Finally, he beholds satisfaction, or disappointed achievement or until you see the problem proud of his judgment his mind hardened his predictions of error has occurred. "

Throughout the history of the church and the Bible provide the bulk of the support for slavery, the light of the king, the Witch and the burning of the wizard, the execution of heretics tortured, opposed to the persecution of homosexuals, religion, war, science, education, censorship, women's interest, degradation, loans outlawing a host of other socio-economic problems.

What do you think of fruit to some extent in all places, pride, almost fifteen centuries of Christianity by the legal establishment of Christianity "and: law enforcement, James Madison stated in the trial for church-state separation claims of clergy indolence, ignorance and servility Laity, superstition, bigotry and persecution. "

Comes to talk a lot about the recent history of support for the civil rights movement, religious. However, most of the opposition from the church, as well as forget about it.

Record: Susan Jacoby in her book Freethinkers: History of the United States secular. Their spiritual actual ancestors "The '60s, right-wing fundamentalists few exceptions without hard-core segregationists said they attacked the civil rights movement of the 20th century, the abolition of the 19th century, and attacked the women's liberation movement." She also was "most loyal white Southern Initial most of their spectacular was the separation of staunch defender churchgoers in the Civil rights era, "

Birmingham, Alabama, written from his prison cell in 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., it put it this way: "I suddenly catapulted to the leadership of the bus protest in Montgomery, when Alabama a few years ago, we in the church to think white support .... instead, refusing to understand the freedom movement and some of the leaders pretend that is entirely relative, all too many people who've been to more carefully than courage, but did not mention. "

Religious rituals, moral behavior, so you can replace the church can be an easy way for people to improve the world, so you do not need. Benjamin Franklin wrote in Poor Richard's Maxims: "God and serving the people of God to do good things, but the service easily think and, therefore, a Common choice. "Sit down and consider all the benefits users... at home and pray, expect God to be involved, but how to do Get out of here now! Hard, dirty work in the room, the prayer for God is much more difficult?

Church of the result due to the act of religion does not exist, as it does only good pointing. In that it helps to preserve them, but the result does not oppose the moral devil itself.

A hero to me, "It's wrong, and the world will finally be wrong and if you do not more people would not oppose the people rebelled, the BOK will youngwon." Must recognize and oppose a cause that is responsible for more people, in order to prevent the cause of religion in the ongoing religious doctrine. I society today, we have to compare George W. President Bush before he was elected back to where it was in the rest of the world we hope to be able to report ... George so simply for having to push a lot of all of us and made stupid religion stupid citizens of the world in much of the United States.

Signed this document Christian focused on, but other religions as a way exhonerates that. Because I do not understand about religion, however, is not included in the article. However, similar to what would occur in all the churches I mentioned principles, regardless of the detailed description of the messages that people will think.
