What ACTUALLY gives you hope for humanity?

[Grigori361]

The one hope. THE ONE HOPE i have left for the human race is Christianity. It gives me hope.

Hahhaahahahahah OH shit thanks for the laugh.... gods damn that made my day.... you are joking right?

if not I apologize, but I find that idea brilliantly funny, in an insane way.

No I am not joking, I'm sorry religion is such a joke to you.

heh, well that's a can of worms I won't open, no need for that powder keg, on the subject of hope, I don't bother much with the hope as a concept, however if you mean what gives humanity value to me above all else, I'd say emotion, the capability alone I find to be exceedingly beautiful.

I agree, Christianity is one of the few things in life that gives me hope.

I hope we progress further than believing In desert myths, and stop lying to ourselves to make life seem easier or to give false meaning. That we progress to not care about someone's sexual preference, that governments will stop being big brother and trying to control people who want to live their life as they see fit. That everyone has a choice on how they want to live their life, whether that be using drugs or walking the streets naked. We need to believe in reason beyond superstition, for rationality above blind faith. Science has progressed man beyond its wildest dreams, and will continue to do so, or the human race will come to a early end.

SEX

If it didn't feel great, we would have died off a long time ago. There's your answer.

statistically 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape

I'm not trying to be a dick, and I hope you don't mind if I ask, why?

I get the felling you say that because a lot of Christians feel like they have a lot of moral obligations. Then again, it's not like everybody who isn't Christian is a nomad killing every baby, kitten, and puppy they see along their path of destruction.

OT: I'm very optimistic, so I don't really need a reason. I just feel that there are greener pastures somewhere out there. I also feel that for every evil act you hear about, there is an equally good act that was committed somewhere. I think we just never hear about the good acts because the bad ones make for better TV.

My only hope for humanity is that darwinism will kick in again so we can finally advance as a species.

It wont. With no real natural predators, the human race will continue to stagnate until something drastic is done. I mean, hell, I graduated top of my class in high school (not the greatest achievement if you went to my school and knew what I meant by that) and am well on my way to medical school and have had a couple of girlfriends in college but nothing serious. Meanwhile, this guy I knew who BARELY graduated now has four kids and is paying child support for two illegitimate children that are also his. This is quite a disturbing trend if you ask me.

I come onto this thread wanting to take a peek into other peoples opinions on the world, and all i see is "religion vs atheism". Talk about a downer.

What we humans need isnt God or the belief that he doesnt exist. What we truly need is tolerance as a whole. We need to be able to accept our fellow humans as who they are. Even if every fiber in your body is screaming "wtf man thats not right, how can you believe in that?!" you have to step back, take a breath and say "alright, if thats how you feel, so be it, but i beg to differ/i hope you know what you are missing out on". Learn to LET IT GO. Its not a sign of weakness, its being the bigger man. Accept those differences, dont ignore it, just acknowledge it and dont pick at it. That is all...

Oh and that hope in humanity....erm....cant think of a good one yet lol

I have hope for humanity, because no matter what kind of shit most of us do to the world, there are people out there who dedicate their lives to making Earth a better place. They build wildlife preservation parks and protect the environment, they travel across the world to help the disadvantaged, they devise new, ethical ways of advancing our species, and they hunt down and destroy people and organisations who would do the rest of us harm.

The problem is... for every one of these people, there are at least a hundred others who live their lives without due consideration to anyone but themselves and sometimes those close to them.

 

[ImprovizoR]

I'm the only hope humanity has. Well that's just my opinion.

 

[drdamo]

Games are our best hope.
And i'm not talking about those Facebook farm/mafia/whatever games, yet that is one of the best formats that can help us make a better world, as long as we change the content.
Go browse TED for some interesting ideas.

 

[hellsdinner]

The fact that the escapist still exists... This is to you last beacon of hope to the internet and mankind!!!

 

[ultimateownage]

Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. I lost hope for humanity a looong time ago.

*EDIT*

using a word in a meaning other than it's literal intention
That is irony

Did you just quote that straight from Futurama?

 

[Section Crow]

In all seriousness...

Food and comedy

The only thing that gives me hope is the fact that I am not as stupid as the people around me. For example, I do not try to surf on cars going 40 mph. (I have seen this twice in the last 3 days.)

Sarah Palin. my hope is we Americans will finally realize how insane she is and unify from the terror over the fact that she has actual political power. and actually, be, well Americans again.i mean hell, i'm at the point where i think we almost need another major terrorist attack, because that the was the one of the first times in a long while when we weren't Blacks, Whites, Asians, or Latino, we were American, and we didn't have Arizona running around doing the kkk's job for them
