i think this is a tricky question if you think about it.
is science important or .. religon ? why tho .. ? Religon helps make people safer . It help you to become a better person. Religon is mainly about beliefs and how to become a better person . . . the problem is . . did anyone prove that gods existed ? etc .. Science helps people to be safe. Science tell us what to aware of. Without science, we wouldnt know where we are, what is safe? .. such as planets or universe ..... etc .. if you think carefully, it could be tricky, you dont know which one is " more " important do you people understand what i'm saiding ? just think bout it. tell me what you think ? ![]() |

"The religion is responsible for its followers: therefore can be held accountable for these actions."
Religion has become a key aspect that shapes peoples' morality (For example: If you _____, _____ will result as a punishment/reward.) We have become so dependent on religion for answers that we no longer trust our instincts to influence our judgment. Instead of a strong sense of morals created solely by instinct, religion now plays a key role. This however, varies depending on how the religion is interpreted by its follower(s). When you have people who base their morals/values/ethics entirely on a religion, there will be extremists. (Saddam Hussein, inflicted terror to unbelievers who contended against Allah and His Messenger. His actions are done “in the name of Allah”. You also have the pro-life Christian group with a history of bombing clinics (killing many, especially doctors) but, “view of themselves as heroic rescuers aligned against Godless fornicators.”) Ex: A teenager gets pregnant after being raped by one of her family members and wants an abortion. According to pro-life and other anti-abortion groups, abortion should not be allowed unless the mother’s life is in danger. In this situation, would you rather be religiously correct and force the teen to keep the baby against her every will? Or because of the trauma she went through, and the major lifestyle shift that results in a teen pregnancy, should she be allowed to abort the baby? Morally speaking, it would be wrong to force any women no matter what, to have a baby against her will. I think i just turned my argument into an irrelevant one. ![]() Mmm, later I will some how tie this all into science vs religion. |

(Saddam Hussein, inflicted terror to unbelievers who contended against Allah and His Messenger. His actions are done “in the name of Allah”. Actually, under Hussein, the government of Iraq was largely secular, and Hussein was anything but a devoted Muslim. I don't believe he invoked the name of Allah to justify any of his actions, unless he was perhaps pandering to religious conservatives. |
