[demolished]

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 ?

Explain.

okay, example if you belive in buddha, you must follow the eightful prophet. the eightful prophet contain eight useful infomation to be a better person and not to try to suffer more. one of the prophet saids " respect others ", then monk and buddism will also repect others but not all of buddism respect. it still helps out buddism. another example, one of the eightful prophet saids " be calm, dont be angry, or sad. " if your calm, you wont cuase alot of problems to people, if you get angry .. of course your gonna start causing more troubles. another example from the eightful prohpet .. " dont be nervous " .. becuase if your nervous, you cannot concertrate correctly and focus. It also affect you and what you do to other people

and etc ..is it enough reason ?

Key word, feel. So religion lulls us into a false sense of security. What if barbarians with technology superior to our own were to threaten to destroy us? Would us having more religion save us? I think not. Suppose a nuke was heading at your house, sent by people who have absolutly no belief in religion, only personal gain, would you praying save you? During the times of the Roman Empire, they would throw Christians into the Colossium and let out hungry lions. Of course the Christians would get in a circle and they'd star praying their hearts out, but eventurally they would all be eaten and the crowds would roar and everyone would leave cheerful, except the Christians who are now ripped to pieces and leave in the bellies of the lions.
