Well I was just kinda thinking of why religion was created and if it was effectively serving it's purpose. It kind of makes me wonder as I keep seeing people using religion as a way to justify their thoughts, actions, and biases. And so i'm asking the great people of CreateBlog.com so see what they think and if it is justifiable.

QUOTE(jambaJUICE @ Nov 8 2004, 4:10 PM) Faith. Duhh. if everyone based everything on Science, the world would be even more cruel then it already is. there would be no boundaries. There would be artificial intelligence, clones, etc. roaming around because Science says its okay to explore and expand your limits. With religion, we believe there IS a God and a heaven, and every living thing was created by him. Not by man. psst. those who aren't religious don't believe everything was created by man. and sik - people existed before religion, and all people feel uncertain at some point so no..religion was not created before uncertainty. uncertainty is an emotion. |
