A World without religion

[PrimoThePro]

less human morals, sure there'd be laws, but people would be less inclined to follow them. What im saying is, its not something we should wish had happened. no sacred scripture of any kind, of any religion, so our actual moral values would probobly be different. who knows? maybe it would have been okay to mistreat animals. hey, im not saying it would, im just giving an example.

Oh god end this thread, this is probably the worste religon thread I've ever seen and will only result in a war between different religons. So I will not contribute.

lol you have just contributed.

 

[CulexVanda]

We will never know until we try it

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

a good thing imo. It'd be one (HUGE) less thing we would all be fighting over, who follows who, why are my sandals brown and so forth.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

Well, for one thing, Bush wouldn't have been elected president...

I think the best religious thing I read was a Team Fortress 2 spray someone had

"Science flies us to the moon
Religion flies you into buildings"

I'm not sure where the world would be, in all honesty I think that religion makes a fine guideline in some respects, the whole extremist thing is completely unreasonable and is something I hate. And the mass genocides gah, you know what I honestly don't know where I stand on this. Mankind is bent on killing itself one way or another, whether it's religion or money or oil it's just something that's happening for ages.

well as the title states, what would the world look like if the never was or is religion (and yes i got this idea from family guy 801) and without the 1000 years of scientific suppression? (i know all credit for this idea to family guy) but still what is your opinion...

well by checking the graph of how science had advanced before the dark ages supression of science, "check the motivational posters, they tell the truth o.o", then id have to say....what flying cars and space travel o.o?

 

[ragestreet]

Instead of saying "God damn it" we'd say "Science damn it"

What if we already say that?

 

[justhereforthemoney]

I think that believing that the work would be a better place if there had never been religion is overrated.

In my humble opinion, a world without religion would be a world without hope. It would most likley have fewer wars, which would obviously be a good thing. But, it would also be quite depressing to not have anything to look forward to after death.

It is unfortunate that science was (still is) suppressed. I personally fail to see why science and religion cannot live in harmony.

But thats the beauty of it! Dont look forward to death, look forward for the life you can make for yourself, stop thinking about your appointment with the pearly gates of heaven and start focusing on how you can benefit the life you have today!

Different, but not necessarily better. Religion is as neutral as most other things, just the concept is abused. Though, odd to say that; considering religion defines good and evil, a lot of the time.

Still, if you kill a butterfly, shit goes down. We have no idea what would happen if something that major occurred. We can only relate religion's ties to events related to religion, that happened in a wold where religion was present.

Not all religions have a solid concept of the afterlife, by the way. Some of them do live for this life, but think their way of doing it is the awesome-est, or something.

 

[Kalas92]

I can't see it affecting me in anyway. Except it would get rid of some minor annoyances.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Hopefully without talking otters and wars over acronyms.


cookie for reference.

Gah, Southpark.

Valhalla actually.

While you make an extremly good point. I must tell you that I do not look forward to death ( don't even thinkabout it most of the time), I just don't fear it because I have something to look forward when my death inevitably comes.

And I have tried a life without and unsure of my religion. I didnot like it. I was angry all the time and had thoughts of ending everything. But when I turned eighteen I chose and haven't looked back, now I'm happy even while defending my religion against ignorante fools (not you). I'm still angry but a least I have a reason to be( most of the time).

I actually enjoy life.

I understand that. I was mainly just speaking for myself.

 

[MajoraPersona]

Religion gives some people a sense of control, which has proven health benefits. The disagreements between groups is integral to societal species, so that wouldn't go away. If people didn't believe that there was some sort of order or power over the world, then they'd likely lose their minds or die.

That's merely a theory, though. Life's just a chemical reaction that actively extends its duration. Abstract reasoning just makes the whole thing too easy.

 

[jboking]

Eh, it would likely be much the same with a few added gadgets. Really though, why do you want more gadgets that pull you from nature? The internet already has it's hooks far enough into me, I don't need to be able to hook my brain into it.
