(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well walking a few days ago me and my friend stumbled upon an argument. What would the world be like without religion? He said there would be more crime and etc. Although people don't commit crime because their religion says not to. They do it because of laws. To put it bluntly if you commit a crime you go to jail. I said that there would be less controversy and fighting over which religion is right and blah blah blah, and that we would come together as people and have more technological advances. I look at it like this. No religion=Star Wars on Earth. He looks as it as. No religion=More Crime on Earth.

What do you guys think? Discuss.

U wont @ me doe
The world would be a much better place, science would have definitely progressed way beyond what it is now and honestly, less wars would have been fought. Religion brings war, but it also brings hope to those who believe in it, so I dont see it going away any time soon because of all the people brainwashed by it already.

The world would be in chaos. Whats the point of living a good life if you have nothing to live for?

Religion is not what causes war. Its the people that interpret their religion wrongly. Relgion doesn't start wars. People do.

God is anything people believe IT to be, whether it be Person or an 8-Armed Elephant (No Offence )
People just believe what they are told, hence different Religions have different, believable Gods.

This is the Christian God. If you read the Book of Revelations in the New Testament, it describes how John saw God.

If there was no religion then there would be nothing to interpret. Therefore less war.

So there is nothing to live for without god? I myself am atheist and find plenty to live for. Japan, the most secular nation, has one of the lowest crime rates.

14% of the world is non-religious, so this theory has no weight at all.

Face it, you may not BELIEVE in God... But everyone (no matter how much they deny it) has HOPE.

Excuse me? If there was a god, pardon my French, I would call him a dick. To say that I have "hope" there is one is downright pitiful.

What keeps me going in life are the following:
- Happiness
- Family and Friends
- Desire to better the world
- Desire to enjoy life

So please, don't assume that just because one doesn't believe god exists that they have nothing to live for.

If it wasn't for something as little as religion these buildings would still be standing.

People should live life as they want :angel:

You responded by me saying that one can be secular and be plenty moral, by saying you don't believe but everyone has hope. There are a large amount of people who can see the beauty of the universe, enjoy family and friends, etc...

Agreed :y:, but when I said 'Hope' I meant like when all is lost, people look for someone be it alive or dead, for guidance... imo :angel:

Alright, I took it a very different way at first, sorry to get upset Smile
