wow that sounds a lot like every other movie I've ever seen

Religion influences, it can not make someone do something. It is an enabler, to both the good and the bad. A gateway, in a sense. Without it, much may not exist. . It has helped some to contribute to art, music, architecture, food, concepts, and much more, including science. It has also helped some hold us back, placing up barriers and ceasing scientific and cultural ventures, as well as helping some cause many conflicts and struggles throughout history, such as war. It ultimately depends upon what view you see it from. But no matter which side you are on, the world certainly would be different without religion, maybe for good and maybe for bad. You just must, at the very least, tolerate a person's views. I, personally, believe that two things are essential in life: Love and Faith. 


I thought this topic was about a movie. :o

This topic sure got off topic quick and stayed there.
Then again the original topic wasn't very interesting.

The world could have easily done better with no faiths, or only 1 faith.

But that would never happen.



a world without religion
hmmm
atheists would be less angry

Without anything, everyone would be more happy.

Taking out your angst on other people is very unbecoming.

That's cause everyone would be an atheist. :D

The cause of suffering is desire.....

If we never had a knowledge of things better than what we have, desire wouldn't be a problem.

BUDDHISM!

We live in an imaginary world called Maya, and it only brings pain and suffering.

Give up all your possessions, achieve Nirvana (a state of peace and no desires), and you will become a Buddhastiva.

I blame 4chan for warping the meanings of words. Emo used to be a type of music, then it used to mean emotionally unstable, which could've gone to sadness or bipolar or self-hate. People decided self-hate was the best to make fun of and now emo has made it's way to Self Delete, when Self Delete isn't it at all. Emo is self hate now, but that doesn't mean Self Delete, cutting yourself is a relief from your self-hate, not a leading up to Self Delete.
the term emo was coined to make fun of kids who listened to emotive hardcore back in like 1985. you seem pretty uninformed so fyi 4chan wasn't around in 1985.

I don't think that you could ever have a world with no religion. When we think about the meaning of religion it's a set of beliefs in a higher power, or our meaning and how we got here. So when you say you don't believe in a god you're pretty much saying that your religion was that there was no got, we were just born to reproduce and keep our species going. Or people will go saying there is no god and they believe in evolution, which is a religion in itself whether you'd like to think so or not.
