Will religion fade out? Options

[*Steven*]

I think eventually religion will just fade out.

To the Debate Forum!

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?

Of course it will, given time, everything fades out. f**king everything. I stay up and think about this shit during the nights I cannot sleep. That and the lagistics of Time Travel, I've discovered multiple angles at which Time travel could possibly (POSSIBLY) make sense, but not enough to write a full book on the subject or else I would have by now and changed the entire way scientists view the subject.
Think back on the fifties. No one alive today does anything the way they did in the fifties. Thats a bit of an overstatement but its almost true. The way we talk, dress, act, everything. We are becoming a smarter and dumber country at the same time, which really doesnt make that much sense. For instance, I know how to look up lots and lots of porn, and I know how to hide it. But I couldnt tell you how to build a mailbox, let alone a treehouse, when was the last time someone had a f**king treehouse? How about can telephones? DOES ANYONE REMEMBER CAN TELEPHONES!!!! I'm gonna start a topic about that.

Think about Gilgamesh, think about Marduk, think about Yahweh, all these different religious icons have been forgotten (save Yahweh but not everyone thinks its the same god as God). Given time, people will forget all about Jesus. Not true, people will remember him, but the stories of him and the bible will pass into myth, it's already happened with the Old Testament, there is barely a person or sect alive or in practice that still fully believe in the Old Testament, except the Jews but most of them don't believe the stories either.

Jeez, I miss childhood. Treehouses, snowforts, can telephones, tire swings, imagination, all those great things that came before the playstation and N64 ruined everything, they gave birth to the new age of gaming. Who do you know who actually plays outside anymore, except in the mid-west but they're all hicks and rednecks anyway, let them shoot eachother with b.b. guns and throw their cheese at eachother, the f**kers.
