    So because mankind doesn't yet know the genesis of the universe you decided to believe in stories made by the science fiction writers of two thousand years ago?

    Religion is just a creation of humanity born out of ignorance and imagination, and perpetuated by fear, hope and the desire for there to be justice in a world where there often isn't any.

    There are so many religions, and they're often in direct conflict with each other. Yet if anyone knew all the answers then everyone would know all the answers. If some omniscient thing wanted a single species of life on a small rock in space to know the truth of the cosmos I don't think it'd pick out a few "special" people to tell everyone else. All it takes is a little rational thought, yet a lot of people can't - or won't - accept it due to the reasons I've listed.

    And for those who claim it's not about the literal interpretations of scriptures but about being a good person and living a good life, well that's a load of crap. "It is the highly secularized countries that tend to fare the best in terms of crime rates, prosperity, equality, freedom, democracy, women's rights, human rights, educational attainment and life expectancy."

    I'd argue that humanity and in fact the world would be much better off without religion.

    I'm agnostic not atheist (because fuck if I know) but when it comes to man-made religion specifically I'm quite sure it's false.
    Hope this didn't come across too confrontational, my two cents. :cheers:

    Perhaps an opinion. Formed prematurely, with insufficient study. I won't say out of ignorance or dullness.
