Or you could stop hating on people, and do what the **** you want, instead of *****ing about religions do your own shit ignorant ass kid.
Because there's nothing to suggest their actions actually matter. That's a core part of religion. Act good -> go to heaven. On paper it sounds fine but in practice it breeds fanatics.
Religion doesn't cause wars, politics does.
I only said that as a retort for someone calling me a kid and being completely irrational when the point of this thread wasn't to start anything controversial, just to ask a damn question.
The amount of mediums aren't the problem. In the past people fought over religion, resources, ethnicity, race etc. All these problems are artificially created. Human beings possess an "us and them" philosophy, which is used to differentiate themselves from others. Even if you abolish religion someone will just artificially create another medium. Like I continue to say the problem is humans need to get rid of their negativity from the source, which is within themselves not from conceptual things such as religion and culture
So? What's gonna keep this thread from turning into a shitstorm if you're gonna bash as soon as you get bashed? One must back out. Speaking of wich, I'm done here...
Exactly history would still be there, a much different history then as we know it.
I completely agree with your first paragraph. Although, we were taught about World Religion in the final two years I was in high school, so I'm not completely ignorant towards any of them. Hell, we spent more time on Islam, Judaism and Buddhism compared to Christianity on its own. That's the problem I have with how Western society has evolved. We're constantly moving on a path where we're not necessarily guided by our own beliefs, but just what we own. Hence, capitalism in Canada and America. Advancement in technology and Science. It's all intertwined and the more intelligent we get, the less we need some kind of "hope" within an old age concept because we're learning more about everything that was supposed to be in the Bible/Quran.
That I completely agree on. But then factor in how widespread religion is compared to the other mediums. You can't just magically create something like religion over night which has a near global following in terms of populations for each religion. While removing religion doesn't necessarily solve the problem, it takes away the largest medium negative propaganda ever had. Look at the countries which envelop themselves entirely in religious constitution. The middle east and many countries around it are all very primitive and backwards compared to countries like England, America, Canada. All countries with high Agnostic/Atheistic populations along with people who claim to be Christian but barely practice. There's a direct correlation here. I'm not trying to force this on you. I actually like discussing this.
I respect your beliefs, but that's all up for debate.
Our method of documentation will only get better over time, so the history of religion will never be lost or altered.
At bold: You should specify which religion you're talking about. Islam operates that way. Christianity does not. You can't lump every religion together just because it's a religion. C'mon, now.
There is nothing to suggest their actions matter to you. Matters of faith are purely subjective you might see it as a waste of time but others believe it isn't. Finding a higgs boson isn't going to feed the over 1 billion hungry people in the world yet humans continue to search for more of these virtual particles. Does looking for these particles solve war, famine, discrimination?
