Science: God and Religion

If God isn't real it means that they've created God themselves. Even if there were only one true God and all the others were invented the billions of other gods would have been invented and aren't real. If a god can be nothing then it can be anything. Anything can be made into a god, into a religion. Science is the religion for the unbeliever, especially those abandoning their former faith. Its alleged knowledge brings comfort and it tells them how we should live their lives. It creates all things great and wonderous, it gives hope for the future. It should be defended zealously, proselytized in the schools, spoon-fed to the children.

Its made into a crutch. A thoughtless comfort. It warns of our destruction and is corrupt to the core with unbridled greed. If you are not one of the its believers you are scorned and ridiculed by its ignorant worshipers.

Science is not a religion. Science is a process for attempting to determine the truth about something in which truth can be determined.

Religion, in contrast, is the creation of answers to various questions about existence without regard to whether it's true or not. It is a means of creating and propagating a fiction in order to comfort and, to a great extent, control.

@DunningKruger What science allegedly is or does, even prior to it's corruption, is irrelevant. That argument is like going back to the dark ages and assuming their religion was a process for gaining ultimate truths through divine revelation. Religion is a strict adherence to a specific set of principles. To suggest it is designed by those who supplied the answers to their own questions would just make it science. That religion propagates fiction is exactly what I attributed to science. It isn't the process that makes the religion, it's the adoration and veneration.

I don't think that religion was designed [b]for[/b] control, it was redesigned and corrupted to be controlled. If its design was intended for control it failed miserably because the adherents are the ones controlling the religion not religion controlling the adherents.

Science is just a method of knowing something. Religion is the method of believing something. Whatever suits you, you much choose.

@BibleData Totally agree with you there. Religion keeps distorting from its original ideas. But then sticking to the Original ideas is also bad. Because what it needs is to evolve.

There was no religion when an idea was established. It was some wisdom, some methods and a way of life intended to enhance humanity from within. When that source of wisdom, say a prophet, passes away, those coming after failed to replicate that kind of wisdom and ended in interpreting it to their logic. That's can go bad.

Thats where religion starts.

@Renkon It has evolved, but that isn't the problem, it evolves into something else. If I start a Renkon religion and over time I completely misrepresent you into the exact opposite of your original intentions for profit isn't a positive move. The only reason for it would be to take advantage of the incentive to do so. Otherwise I would just form a completely new religion without fucking yours up.

@BibleData Yup, it is. It take horrifying forms.

@BibleData lol... [i]euphemistic[/i]

i'm sure it's blasphemy to those who are blinded by faith... and believe in such concepts as [i]sin[/i]

@SW-User Oxford's dictionary - Faith: complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

The English word credit, comes from the Latin and means believe, trust. Also credentials, accredit. credibility.

Sin is an ancient Hebrew word that means to miss the target or mark. It was used, for example, in application to an archer, stone or spear thrower. To sin against your boss would be to show up late for work.

If you take the ignorant bullshit of organized religion away those sorts of concepts are usually far more practical.

@BibleData thanks for the vocabulary lesson, lol, and i always take the[i] ignorant bullshit of organized religion[/i] away from all that is logical and practical as a rule

To me they work together. After all who created this scientific connection that happens between everything. For many of us science reveals how the Creator did it

You mean the church? Yes that turned out to be quite a money spinner.

In part. Not entirely. More generally the god concept.

[quote]Yes that turned out to be quite a money spinner.[/quote]

Yes, and I think that as that well runs dry science has dug it's own. It's really just people corrupting everything of any set value.
