[Serious Discussion] Religion

[Bloodst3r]

Sorry I don't have enough time to read or to reply to all of what's said as I'm on a 3G connection that is going down in a few, but this got my attention:

People can behave without thinking of god, jeez

If you think so, you really need to visit Egypt and similar countries. You have no idea how destructive people can get in here without religion. Even when it comes to work, According to our religion, Islam, hard and pure work is a must. I've seen a lot of people who work hard without cheating or scamming only for the sake of Islam.

Discussing this is getting boring, it's obvious everyone wont change his mind and everyone is perfectly satisfied the way he is

Seriously? Becasue you haven't freaking read them, how can you tell that you won't change your mind? -_____-

So you're implying that Egyptians are like animals who can't hold themselves back from being savage and uncivilized without an imaginary magic man to tame them?

lmao 
after looking at those forums for a while it really amazes me how ignorant some people can be  oll:
dunno if majority of them are just trolling or are they really serious about it...only couple of them really seem to believe in flat earth...
reading through a topic named "How whales prove flat earth" really got me laughing tho

It's because many of those unstable people are so because they are brought up in devout religious families. They are poisoned at a young age and taught that they and society cannot function without religion. If they were brought up without religion- not necessarily antitheist, but simply atheist, then they wouldn't be subjected to the same levels of barbarism (see: Scandinavia).
I'm not saying that the lack of religion is the only reason Scandinavia is so much more civilized, but religion does play a huge role in this barbarism.

Damn, you really stole the words out of my mouth

Like you can see eventho majority of the people in a country don't believe in god or have very moderate beliefs the society can still work properly. For example Scandinavia where the number of atheists of the population is between 50-80%. And the rest are either agnostic or really mildly religious.

Well tbh it seems like it's vice versa. During the Arab Spring it was total chaos out there, I doubt religion was helping too much to keep it in control...  oll:

In fact, in my opinion, it made it worse. People being divided into two or more groups making chaos in the country, just like Syria. Now in Syria there's not only the "Free Army" as they call it, but there are other groups that are not mentioned but are actually participating in the war, all because those people want an Islam-based government, and others don't. I believe that will make things much worse in Syria, but only time will tell.

Also, is that "flat earth society" for real? O.o
I have a feeling all those people are just trolling, or doing it for the lulz.

Haha I've stumbled upon that site once and it cracked the shit out of me.

Take that, add a few billion people, and an unbelievably huge budget and media, you get religion.



EDIT: THIS REPLY IS FUCKING HILARIUS XD

The way that guy said "IS ANOTHER EARTH"... I read it in Homer Simpson's voice xD
