ITT: People think religion is why people kill each other

Nope [spoiler]how would REM lose their religion now?[/spoiler]

No. No I wouldn't.

Why didn't you ask a if we preferred a world with out gays

I dont know. Some people on here like to see religion as some small tack on a vast corkboard. The reality is that religion has influenced a huge amount of what North America is today. I believe that it is extremely difficult to deduce exactly how we would have changed if we didn't have religion as an influence. The one thing I seem to do is quickly jump to the assumption that our world would be extremely different. Thinking about it I am not so sure now. Perhaps society wouldn't change all that much. I honestly beleive that the evil would just find some other ideology to cling to as an excuse to wreak havok. All I know is that as of right now a portion of the world is in a good place morally and politically and I have to thank religion for being the proverbial guiding light. Maybe we would have been better off, maybe not, but I do hope we keep progressing together as a society for better change.

I would. But Eh.

Anime>Religion [spoiler]basically yes [/spoiler]

Nope. Shrek, The Omnissiah and The God-Emperor want a word with you.

Whenever I think about how the world would be without religion I always think about the South Park episode where Eric goes to the future and all the atheists are killing each other by the millions because they couldn't agree what to call their group. Mankind is destructive. If we don't fight about religion we'll find something else stupid to fight about. Just a thought.

Without religion? Then we have nothing to hold to, to hope to,. Then why you play destiny??

I would prefer a world where everyone believes in themselves.

Personally for me I think the world would be better if there wasn't so much intolerance towards it, I mean sure people are entitled to their own view, but there is so much close mindedness with quite a bit of people.

No, it would be awful. People would have no incentive to do good, and the line between right and wrong would become very blurred. Depression would run rampant in a world where EVERYBODY believes that they're just some cosmic accident, and hundreds of thousands of suicides would follow. Governments would become tyrannical, because they have no God to answer to. THEY would become the highest power, and could do whatever they want without repercussions. After all, there would be no God to judge and punish them for whatever they've done. Every country would have it's own Adolf Hitler to run it. There would be no true reason for ANYBODY to do good, because no matter what you do, you die after 80 years (If you're lucky) and everything you did will be forgotten after 20 years. So, it would be far smarter to soak up all the pleasure and fun you can within that small window of time. Why do charity and service when you could find pleasure with alcohol, food, and sex? Humanity's main goal would be to have as much fun as possible before you die, no matter the consequences. Once you die, the world you leave behind will be the problem of somebody else, and they can deal with it. It would become a very dark world; one I would never want to live in.

Meh, ignorant assholes are always ignorant. Does not take much to degrade Human nature. In Pakistan right now and must say most of the shit that happens here are not die to religion. -blam!- racism is strong in eastern cultures.
