  1. All one needs to do is look at cultures that have Given up religion to see why it's needed.

  2. BryceStawski Conversely, sympathizing with Palestinians does Not mean that there Should be Palestine

  3. Michael Hart Because too many people (in Western countries, anyway) take things Personally. I have Atheist friends and while we might debate, I don't think they Have to believe or go to church with me. In fact my understanding and appreciation for my faith has been Deepened by our talks.

  4. Julius Caesar Japan is going down in flames: they have the Lowest rate of Sex (Not just birth or Marriages, but Sex) in Recorded History. Because of not being Religious, as well as Feminism.

  5. Bar Yehudai That would depend Entirely on your Reason. If you want it destroyed "because Jews" then yes.

  6. Dogematic Atheism No (well, some of them Were purposefully killing religious people. But the same thing happened in the dark ages of Other religions.) Roger Miller, an Early American Reverend, and the First person Known to have the concept of Separation of Church and State, said this "Forced Worship Stinks in God's Nostrils". He advocated, Correctly, that the influence of Government poisons religion just as much, (if Not More) as the Opposite can happen.

  9. darkblood626 That's Also why I posted the video link. But the fact you didn't mention it at all, I hope you merely didn't see it. Otherwise, that's disingenuous, of You.

  10. Beppe No one said you have to "abandon reason". Aside from some of History's greatest Philosophers (and Most of her Great Scientists and Inventors) being Religious, I have said several times that Great societies need religion. That does Not mean you should be Forced to worship. It damages the Faith as well as yourself.

  11. Mikko Haavisto Theocracy goes Against US principles. Freedom of Religion does Not make you a Theocracy

  12. TheRBGamer Actually, those countries Mainly fell because of America abusing their Intelligence community. The Shah and Saddam Both were American puppets, and Opium almost didn't Exist in Afghanistan until the US invaded.

  13. Sko Bird You've never heard of Seventh Day Adventists or Messianic Jews, have you?

  14. TheRBGamer Actually, the Islamic Enlightenment had the Most Polymaths (Genius in Multiple fields) in Recorded History.

  15. TheRBGamer You are correct about Extremism being dangerous, tho

  16. Mikko Haavisto They Said they were religious, most of them Weren't. Do you know the President who went to Church the Most? Clinton

  17. Hale Hardy Antisemitism isn't a "Left or Right" thing. What are you On about?

  18. Dogematic Atheism That's worship of the State, chief. Unless you've got another reason for the Atrocities of Communist regimes.

  19. darkblood626 It's right above my anecdote.

  20. Michael Hart To be fair, America has Freedom of Speech as well as Religion. Both of which has helped keep Religious Extremism in check.

  23. Grant King Already went over Japan's Negative population problem Like an inverted Triangle). But if you want to go with that, that's a combination of their Draconian Justice system (Guilty until proven innocent) AND their culture (A large part of which has basis in, you Guessed it, Religion (in this case, Buddhism and Confucianism).

  24. Grant King A) As I went over Earlier, Sex rates as well as Birth and Marriage have drastically Dropped. What you cited (which is similar in other countries) Does NOT account for that. B) My excon Uncles would disagree.

  25. Grant King C That doesn't mean that it wasn't more impactful in it's development Or that there weren't More Practitioners until Recently. It can Also be used for Philosophy as well, Like All Religions. D) Yes, despite your feelings, it is Still a religion, as Well as a philosophy, that emphasizes Order and Familial piety. E) You can be Shinto as Well As other Religions. There are Japanese people that are Multiple. In fact, it's the Most popular, though many of it's adherents are like C&E Christians. And it has a form of Pantheism, or Nature worship.

  28. Beppe There's the Christians (Anselm, Aquinas, Augustine) and those are just the Most famous. There's Ibn al-Haytham, al-Ghazali, and Ibn Rushd (Islamic Enlightenment) and those are just the Most famous amongst those. In fact, it's only recently in Philosophy and Science were they even Allowed to Not Be religious, so many were by default.

  29. Beppe The last part wasn't visible on my phone, sorry.

  30. Peppermint If you're speaking of Europe, they're being Overrun. Japan is dying. As for China and Russia, they started to become better After Religion was allowed. And India, which is on the Rise, has Always been Religious.
