Imagine A World Without Religion

[Odds]

What a strange argument to make...

Is that your belief as to what would happen, and could you prove it would happen?

Proof. Why must y'all look for 'proof'. God isn't a science experiment.

The French Revolution tried to erase the idea and came up with all kinds of nonsense that led to 'The Terror'.
The Khmer Rouge tried to go back to 'Year Zero' and ended up in the killing fields of Cambodia.
Russia tried it and ended up with a subservient population who worshipped in secret.

Religious beliefs have of course been proven to have been the cause of untold deaths and that is fact!

People will argue over anything.
I refer you to the GD as ample evidence of this.

And as someone who has obviously been instilled with the belief that without organised control there is the 'danger' of 'anarchy' does not understand the meaning of 'anarchy'!

Uneducated/easily led people believe it is a descent into chaos, but educated people realise it is a system of self governance rather than imposed control...

prove it.

Based on what proof?

One could argue that alcohol/drugs provide a similar crutch...

And if the number of deaths were able to be tallied up, I'd wager that religion would be the 'winner'!

You could but the two have dissimilar perspectives

No one wakes up wanting to be religious.

But they may suddenly 'awake' to the 'calling'...

So tell that to the 'born again' christian nutters...

Or those who believe there are loads of virgins waiting for them.
(Essex is an obvious no go zone)

Or those trying to work out if their next incarnation will be as a slug or a PM.
(I admit, tricky working out the preference)

No, they won't.

Do you still believe in santa or the easter bunny?

Normal people get real before puberty!

prove it.

The typical reply of someone who is brain fed that the alternative to control is impossible...

Which proves the point!

You could but the two have dissimilar perspectives

Actually they are very similar....

Too much exposure and the result is the same - a screwed up head!

 

[Odds]

No, they won't.

Yes, they will.

don't be silly.

don't be stupid.

don't be stupid.

So no coherent reply then...

Strangely that tends to happen every time people with 'faith' call out to an imaginary friend for 'help'

Yes/no.

 

[motorbiking]

Easter bunnies are real.

start yourself with a reasonable argument. All you've done so far is fall back on relative absurdity.

I bet retribution isn't on the prayer list.

Yes it probably is as we work for 5 Muslims

Def not on the Quakers prayer list

We are key holders to there chapel / church

As we are for the Scientology ( fruit cakes ?) church

Stopping the disaster of an unwanted life

A bit of progress.
You admit that a life is ended.
Society is full of unwanted lives.
Just let's hope you or I don't fall into that category some day.

 

[Vinty]

You've apparently decided to take an off-the-shelf morality called a religion

What has religion got to do with the issue of abortion.
A lot of pro life supporters are not religious.

 

[Vinty]

If a child is born disabled its God's will.

That's not for me thanks.

Do disabled people support the abortion of disabled children.

. He even puts the life of an animal above that of human

Put it this way.
If it was a choice between Jimmy Saville(allegedly human) and my dog (animal) .
It would be my dog every time.

Humanity collectively has choices that animals don't.
Humans are sentient enough to know the difference between right and wrong.
So any suffering is self inflicted.
