Therefore if they didn't have religion they would have atheism, which would end up having a lot more people and it would split up into a bunch of different groups.

My main thing is that religions are all different. However, I'm 99% sure none of them promote violence(All of the so-called "moral" relgions, ie hinduism, christianity(all forms), islam, buddhism, etc).

Re: Atheism

I think religion as the first means of forming a civilization, could determine the advancement of a race. Long ago people had hundreds of gods and people were relatively happy, then people fought over which God or gods were superior. These conflicts shaped people tolerances and ideas thus effecting the route these people take as an advancement. Lets use the Dark Ages as an example the scientific advancement was at a stand still because the Vatican considered science to be a perversion from God. My own theory is that without the advancements of science people were kept subservient on the church for guidance. Religion is a basic double edged sword, providing law and order yet stopping natural advancement at the same time. Of course reckless advancement without stability wouldn't be so favored either.

Re: Atheism

Saying religion is bad is like saying guns are bad because one person killed someone else.

Like I keep saying, religions are not all the same and don't blame anybody else BUT people for the bad things that happen "because of religion".

I'm not a Christian,
I'm a Muslim.
Personally yes, it confuses me sometimes that I can never see God, or that no one that is alive today can.
Religion is cloudy.

ok because you can rationalize the reason of guns then tell me why we need missiles and tanks. What would religion say about certain kinds of weapons, atomic and biological weapons?

It doesn't say anything as it was not around at the time that any of the biblical writings were written(In Christianity) therefore it's impossible to say.

However I can guarantee you it would not say to use them.

I was referring to what some modern religions would say about weapons.

Yet religion which doesn't have the power to use them nor stop them is ultimately not in control over the people that use them.

Which is what I've been saying. Religion is not the culprit, people are.

Re: Atheism

Wow. I can't believe I went through six pages of the same shit being repeated over and over again. Here's a solution:

Who gives a fuck?

Religion is just a belief. No one can prove if its wrong or right. No matter what evidence you put forward, the other is not going to believe it. Why do we worry about what happened before we were alive or what's going to happen after we die? We should be worrying about NOW. Our economy is shit. We got people dying over stupid shit all over the world. I don't give two shits if there is a god or not. If I die and there is, oh well. I go to hell. If there isn't, then I just rot in the ground. Irregardless, I'm fucked. That's why I'm choosing to enjoy my life instead of worrying the rest of it on whether what's gonna happen or what happened. Shit, I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast this morning. My old history teach use to say, "There are three nessecities to start a civilization: "Government, People and supplies, and Religion."

I'm done. I'm not bored anymore in my Excel class lol.

Wrong. Almost all the way through. Try to cut down on the swear words, too.
I am in no real mood for a debate anymore. If you want to see some results, go look at my posts on pages 1-3.
