If Christianity disappears so will civilization.

This is what all religions teach, that the world will not function right if my personal tribal club is not the center of the world. Which is funny because no matter what current religions or boarders our species comes up with we still manage to fuck and make babies.

Religion is just an excuse for having to die....

Be careful what you pray for ;you just may get it!

unlike you, I don't pray for things to happen, which is just an advanced form of wishing on a magic lamp.

ah true ^^, at least a sexy genie comes from a lamp.

I really do pity people who can't find any worth in life without a religion as their crutch to stand up on, that they can't conceive of morality or empathy without being convinced they wouldn't have those things without god or allah or whatever else.

I wasn't raised with any connection to religion, and yet I have love, empathy for others, morals, standards, appreciation of the little things and big things, and all that came from just living it, being around people who appreciated it to, all who have never once spoken words of faith to me, just people who enjoy the good stuff in life.

If religion disappeared tomorrow, the world would be no different to people like us lot here, but to a faith follower, they would struggle with reality. They would have to adapt to understand the world around them, like how a child adapts to understand there is no father christmas.

Yet I've seen children deal with that sobering fact far better then adults do to the truth of religion.

  Refinement of intellectual and artistic taste will disappear without superstitious nonsense?    Now that is really being delusional from thinking religion is refinement of the intellect and knowledge when it is based on ignorance and emotions. Some of the most peaceful, and having refinement of the intellect are atheist scientists and artist. Remember the Dark Ages and inquisitions from religious authority that people could not even be questioned without being burned at the stake or stoned to death with their blessing?  Idiot! Solitary

Its funny how we live in w world where mankind as a species has figured out how to fly despite not having wings, cure diseases that even effects other animals, even the only creature on earth that can launch itself into space.. and yet it still needs tribal mentality practiced by its ancient ancestors thousands of years ago.

Christianity is a man made invention. I am sure they will find another sucker to play jesus and just create another fundamentalist dung hole.
