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.
