CDZ Should religions be banned instead of drugs?

[grbb]

Why does it have to be a choice between the two? Ban them both, along with smoking (tobacco), plastic straws and big gulps.

I gave you 4 choices.

Why we should ban religions instead of drugs : unpopularopinion

CMV: Religions Are More Dangerous than Drugs and Should be Dealt With Consistently : changemyview

The idea is that religions are more dangerous for societies than drugs.

People under influence of religions commit terrorism far more than drugs. I have never heard MDMA causing terrorism. I have heard people committing terrorism due to Islam.

Religions also cause corruption. Which is a harm to society. There are links where corruption in religious population is higher.

Yes. The article agrees that most religious people are peaceful.

So is most drug users.

Have you ever heard anyone under MDMA, LSD, or ganja harms anyone? Very rarely right?

So either legalize both or if we gonna ban one, ban religions.

The article mention a case where a politician is jailed for 2 years due to blaspheming against Islam. That person says that someone may be lying using religion. What he said is very reasonable because Indonesia is a very corrupt country. We also see that islamic countries tend to have higher corruption rate. So it's pretty obvious some people must have been using religions to persuade people to pick bad choices.

Other politicians spin his word. Basically they claimed that his word means he accuses the religion itself to lie or that the religious leaders are lying. He's in jail for 2 years.

Now, with laws protecting religions from freedom of speech, any religious leaders can tell people to vote only for their preferred candidate. They can pretend to get offended by those calling them lying. Then they can just rake in a lot of money through corruption.

Ever see drug users wanting to prohibit your freedom of speech?

So what should you ban?

Are you sure you have done a proper accounting of religion?

I say make drugs a religion so no taxing and no restrictions on "practicing"

All religions are not created equal. One is by far better than all the rest combined, and has vastly improved humanity, despite all the silly distorted rubbish put out bu the butt sex fetishists and sociopaths who think mindless self-indulgence is going to make for a 'free' society or something, despite the fact it never has and never will. See F.A. Hayek's great little book The Fatal Conceit; most educated atheists concede the overall positive effects of Christianity's influence over the centuries, far better than paganisms and the other assorted cults.

Well. I have no problem with Christianity now, especially Protestants. Most protestants are working hard and pretty close to libertarian anyway. I have the most problem with Islam. It's not even secular and too many followers are not.

However, your argument can also be used for drugs. Most drugs are dangerous. Hell, I wouldn't care if government ban Heroin or Krocodile. Those are really shit.

But MDMA? LSD? Meth? and Ganja? Those are soft drugs.

I think what I would propose is the following.

We got many countries in the world.

Say one country ban Ganja but allow Islam.

Another country ban Islam and allow ganja.

Which country you wanna live in?

At the end, I think it's not what's right or wrong. I want many small states to decide whatever they want to ban, and people can live in those states.

I think that would be the best arrangements.

Meth is a soft drug?

No...socialism should be banned...religions, especially the Jewish and Christian religion have contributed greatly to world peace and the betterment of man...socialism, just since 1917 has murdered close to 100 million people, likely more, and destroyed every country that ever fully embraces it, creating misery and poverty for all but the controlling minority....

Ban socialism, save the world.

There is at least one religion that effectively bans the others.

Episcopalians?

Yep, from the halls of real power they sure do.
