Now that religion is so deeply embedded into our culture, is it possible to ever go back to the days before religion. I mean, they did exist, so it isn't too unrealistic to think we can survive without it, but would it be de-volving ourselves to a less organized place in time or would it better us by not creating so much turmoil and conflict? Although I do not question the amazing things religion has brought to this world; passion, love, devotion and a sense of belonging to something greater, I do believe that tangibly, it has cost the world a much higher price. Conflict can be traced back long before Christianity came into the picture, but just since then there has been more death attributed to religion than any other cause (now I do not have evidence to back that up, but I do not think anyone could argue a more persistent killer of the innocent.) It is a shame to see that something that was brought to this world to help solve problems and bring people together, has been able to cause such hate and destruction on a global level.
Now, this forum tends to disprove my point a bit, but the arguments are somewhat intriguing, if you are bored take a look, maybe add your opinion
War, why?
