Or, religion is an innate longing built into us to ensure our search for and connection with our creator. If there is a creator it is not illogical to assume he would want that connection.

Circular argument.

Perhaps then, man, realizing he is not alone in the universe, would toss aside religious books and realize they were not written by gods, but by his fellow man and thus not w/out sin...

yes, imagine a world with no religion... its easy if you try... :p


No "preaching" here...

it would render that passage useless and in future copies they would leave it out...the only thing that could stop a religion is if god himself came down and put a stop to it...and even then a lot of reallly "devout" people would say "hes not the true god...hes the devil and hes LYING...)

Play word games all you want kappa, your ignorance and intollerance is clear from your first post in the thread.

I'm sure you have some witty comeback in store, but save your breath, I dont care anymore, you made yourself clear allready...

Fair enough.

Maybe I overreacted but for some resaon your first post pissed me off because of the disreard you showed to the 90% of humanity which is religious - in my perception basically you said they were idiots for holding their belifs. I think you should also read funked's comment and think about it, he made a very good point about the nature of your idea.

Actually I did.. Because I do have religious ideas.. Im not a racist and have no racist tendencies.. Yet, after pondering on yours and funked's post, I could see no relation..... I still cannot see it.. I dont want peps to have my religion (if I had one).... I want peps to be open minded enough to think past theirs... To think past the segregation of religion.. To think past their own hate of muslims, christians, baptist, catholic, protestants, and methodist.. I'm sure I left countless numbers of religious factions out.. Its not the belief in ANY one god im against.. Its the belief your/mine god is better im against... We are all just people...

In your post you said imagine a world without religion, thats quite a bit different than what you wrote above. BTW what you wrote above is rather nice and I agree with it a lot in fact.

There have been many that thought the same way. Some even tried to put it into practice. The Soviet Union failed pretty miserably. China hasn't done too badly, if you ignore many of their more blatant oppresive practices.
