Because all the societies that abandoned religion have had so much success.![]()
lol got me there but I'm not saying we should have a society like under Stalin. You need morals.

I don't see what that has to do with religion. people gonna hate, regardless.If you can make sure every Christian, Muslim, and Jew in the world follows only the good parts of their respective religions then I'll say religion is good but that isn't going to happen so we will continue to have Jews, Christians, and Muslims killing each other because they can't get over their differences.
Which society would that be? And the moral code was based on what?It's fine to believe in God but the rest of it isn't needed. Society already has a moral code so we don't need the Bible for that.

I dunno , 1000 Points is pretty sharp , but , I have to think about that for awhile , a "place" could , can become nearly the same as a martyr , I suspect , if that place contains , remains , ruins or is the percieved place of a significant act , This one , though , in my belief , will not be one ....You are correct sir, I have corrected my error.
Yeah , not sure I understand the "society moral code ' ,,,, at all ...I don't see what that has to do with religion. people gonna hate, regardless.

I disagree , what you really have to decide is , if the negatives outweigh the positives . Looking at history only and being an unbeliever , I would expect , one may decide that the negatives do outweigh the positives , I clearly understand that. At the same time , as a believer , I must suggest to you , that as screwed up as the world has been , without , people who were peaceful believers , the world would be worse . Anyway , I wil still buy you a beer if we can talk about anything but current religionsThere are no beneficial aspects of religion.
I concur.Whether religion is based on facts or fantasies, people have certain deistic tendencies that are the result of our development as a species. If they don't worship God, they will worship the State as their God. Might as well have have something that occasionally does good things (religion) than an entity that only knows how to destroy (government).
It's fine to believe in God but the rest of it isn't needed. Society already has a moral code so we don't need the Bible for that. I'm sorry but the majority of Christians I have met (and don't say they aren't Christians because of their extreme statements) think homosexuals should be put into camps and murdered, if every Arab nation won't convert to Christianity we will convert them to ash, and all kinds of other hateful bigoted statements.
You are spot on, DDT you are so wrong, I have NEVER heard a Christian speak like that,I find that incredibly hard to believe and I'll outright call this out as a lie.
The majority of Christians you have met think homosexuals should be put into camps and murdered and Arabs that don't convert to Christianity should be murdered as well?
99% of the people I know are Christian and I've never in my life even met someone who espoused those views. So to say that the majority of Christians you have met believe this you are either lying or have lost your grip on reality.
I agree Stalin was evil , I bet ,though that he thought he had morals , they just will not be shared by me ....lol got me there but I'm not saying we should have a society like under Stalin. You need morals.
and Arabs that don't convert to Christianity should be murdered as well?
Wrong, being in that part of the world has nothing to do with Christianity. Its all a setup for the Armaggedon directive, this is where they pretend to play out the Armaggedon scenario, then say its over, no more reason for war, 7yrs of peace. More control mechanisms put in place.This is why America is in Iraq and Afghanistan. Converting people to Christianity via murder.
