You should sue your history teachers
The dark ages came after the age of the apostle, so the dark ages came when man turned away from God, not when they created him.:disgust:

Yeah, right. Look at this board. People here cannot even respect people's choices regarding cars, women and computer parts... and you expect them to do so with religion?

No, I don't. Thats why I voted yes on the poll.

But that's not an honest answer. The world would be quite the same because we would find something else to divide ourselves with. So to say the world would be a better place is illogical given our nature.

Religion allows people a moral justification for hate, and worse, it unifies large numbers of people who when really worked up go out and try to kill those people. In short, it gives large numbers of stupid people a focal point.
I agree that something else would surely fill the void because those stupid people would just sit around all day until they came up with something. But, meh...at least they might not be able to talk themselves into thinking they'll go to heaven for dragging a gay guy behind their truck.

You are correct, oh Lord.Originally posted by: The Lord
Man is the cause of that not religion. They pervert religion to suit their needs.Originally posted by: hevnsnt
I wonder, would the world be a better place without religion. Take a look at the past, a lot of wars happened due to religious differences, look at the present.. The terrorists hate Americans due to religous differences..
Do you think that religion causes as much war/crime as it "prevents" I think so.

From wishful thinking to FUD in 6 minutes flat.
I'm impressed.

What? You're right ok. The whole world is horsesh|t and there's always going to be hate as long as people are in different classes. And even if we got to a point where everyone is equal, I'm sure we'd think of something. My comments were just sort of off the cuff, I didn't think I would have to be so serious in an Off Topic Poll who's third option is 'Gasoline'. (Which is starting to look like the correct answer...)
