I do hate to bring this up and get into this debate but the question does cross my mind week after week when things like this come up. Where would we be in a world without religion? Would it be a better place or would people just find something else to fight over? Is it just a case of "oh theres a stick, we can fight over that because we can make fire" syndrome? |

Would it be a better place or would people just find something else to fight over? Is it just a case of "oh theres a stick, we can fight over that because we can make fire" syndrome? I just think that it's a stupid claim to say the world would be a better place without religion. Religion is a source of morals, that's all, our entire system of law is basically evolution from religious teachings. What else does religion do... It offers explanations for things science can't explain, some people may say it's daft to believe in things with no proof, but the Big Bang is only a theory, and evolution is only a theory, yet schools teach them as though they're fact... And it acts as a comfort to people who are scared of death. How can religion be the root of all evil? It can't simple as. Politics are the root of all evil, and when politics hijack religious thought (which, yes, is unavoidable) then "Holy Wars" start. Which is ridiculous, because it's a contradiction in terms. People fight over politics and opinions, and religion is just one of those. The 9/11 thing was basically against materialism, capitalism and greed, not against Christendom, since the US is a secular country. It was over the US sticking its nose in other peoples' business and acting as World Police. It was just Bin Laden or whoever manipulating the strong beliefs of young Muslims to commit such an atrocity, but that could happen anyway... To take a political example, you could brainwash young patriots to attack France because they're a threat to us, or whatever. People will always fight over land, or money, or politics, religion is just one strand. That Richard Dawkins prick is nothing but a closed-minded bigot who is no better than extreme evangelists are. The world would be a better place without God? Bullshit. |

Again I hate getting into this debate but indeed if people had not mis construed the Holy Corane (spelling) would we not now have the hatred that the Tali-Ban seem to have for the west and thw west's way of life. Not to be specifically pointing out one religion as without the Bible would we not have had the crusades back in the early days.
I agree with what you are saying Boother but there is a terrible side to all this as well.
My dream in life is that people just get on regardless of who they follow, what god they worship if indeed any. Thats based on my origional post.

The Taliban ? you mean al qaeda ? the Taliban have never attacked the west, they were the government of a country in which Bin Laden was located, thats as far as their connection to 9/11 goes. Prior to 9/11 the talbian was aided by the US government via Pakistan. |
