If your sister is a mother and she just lost her 3 year old boy and is in deep grief then what else is there that would make her feel better except that "he will go to a better place"? In the past and still now religion is used to comfort the people.

This however, was not the only purpose of religion. You have try and imagine a world without order, a world without police, a lawless world. What would stop people commiting crime like murder and thievery, answer: religion. If you can make people believe that they will go to hell for murder, thievery and all those other things then they will surely be intimidated and not commit those crimes (in most cases).

Richer people gave money to the poor and there were some other things good too about religion. Forexample, let's take the islam. They forbid people to eat pork, reason: Pig meat rots very quickly and in the past when we had no salt/frigerators so this was very problamatic since many people got sick. Forbid pork=problem solved.

The islam also says that you have to pray 5 times a day, reason: In Saudi Arabia (where the islam basically started) the climate is hot, as we all know hot weather makes people lazy and the hot weather makes them barely go out anymore. Also that they ate a lot of sheep contributes to the fact that they were fat. They needed exsercise so this was a perfect solution.

Basically, religion had a good purpose but has none left - well maybe to comfort people but then I ask you, is that really worth it? Is it worth to have so many leaders who believe in a talking snake (which seriously worries me) and so many people that believe the world is 5000 year old?

Howmany wars have there not been because of religion, howmany people have been killed by religion? Taliban destroyed Afghanistan in the name of religion, the church abused their power in the name of religion and I am not even talking about Jerusalam or all the crusades. Sum these things up and really think if this little comfort is worth it all. It's not only war and death that is brought in the name of religion but people are holding us back in the name of religion. Again and again they don't want changes! Abortion, GM are only few of the many examples.

Just want to comment on the religieuse person:

">> Fact is that things change so rapidly becaulse alot of people are trying to beter understand life its self instead of beleaving in a god. <<

Many scientists, including leading physicists, not only believe in God, but have their faith strengthened by their work. What are your PhDs in that your knowledge of science has discouraged faith in you? When have you seen belief in God interfere with scientific research? (presumably in modern times)"

This is not true, 93% of the scientis are NOT religieus and do not believe in god. Where did I get this information from? Watch the movie religulous time 11:10. I am confidant that if you are a moderate religieuse person that this movie will convince you in that there is no god. If you are an extremist - well may "god" help!

">>change is needed to strive forward<<

Is that like the Obama message, that we must change even what's working better than anything else the world has ever seen? Seems a little simple."

Just like you said that was a typically Obama message yours was a typically conservative right-wing message. I do understand why you are reluctant, it must be hard to believe there is no god if your whole life your family is telling you there is one.

Also I would like to add some additional information to the post of snailsex. Everyone is very confidant that the existance of Jesus has been proven but this is also not true, there is no evidance. Moreover, do you seriously believe there was a talking snake, "virgin" who gave birth to a child and the planet only being 5000 years old?!! There is evidence evidence that those parts are bullshit (there is nothing you can say against this, a fact is a fact)  and if you take that into account, is there not a possibility that more things written in ur holy book are false? Also the evolution theory is no longer a hypotheses, it's a fact and the planet is not 5000 years old and there was never a god which created all us of in 7 days. To think that leadng people in America, senators are believing in a talking snake and the earth being 5000 year old makes me really pissed. YES WE DO NEED A CHANGE!!!!

lolz if u want soft drugs come to Holland
