[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Sure, charitable work carried out by religious groups is good, but that's because charitable work carried out by [i]anyone[/i] is good. Just because people do good things in the name of religion, that doesn't make the religion itself good. In fact, along those same lines, religion has corrupted the idea of doing good deeds. I've heard people say that, if it weren't for fear of a god, they wouldn't give a shit about anyone else. The only thing shaping their morality is their religion. To me, that's a very bad thing. Religion has accustomed people to the idea of "I should act this way because [insert deity here] says I should". The idea of "I should act this way because it's right, and beneficial to the good of humanity" is a totally foreign concept to too many people. [/QB][/QUOTE]
