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.

i think people come hardwired for lots of things, capacity to religion included

@SW-User I might agree with the idea that we were hardwired for religion in a euphemistic sense but not in any literal sense. I don't see any evidence that we were created for the capacity specifically to religion. Sounds like sin to me.

@BibleData lol... euphemistic

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

@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.
