QUOTE(S-Majere @ Dec 20 2007, 11:33 AM)  I think eventually religion will just fade out. To the Debate Forum! QUOTE(Steven @ Dec 20 2007, 11:37 AM) Nope. People need religion. There are so many who don't want to search for an answer or an explanation to the unexplained, and religion is a very easy answer. Why did this happen? Oh, god's will! So, will religion fade out? Maybe organized religion? Ideas? Thoughts? |

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” |
