  1. As an atheist, the thing I realise is we are all products of our environment, I am the result of religion. I live in a country full of atheists, 38.9%, we are the vast majority, this would be true of many western countries imo, to have left religion and not to go towards another and the only reason they might still say they believe in a god is the past.. Faith is a belief system, that doesn't allow for science , based off myths and legends of other religions and yet we say those that don't believe in our myths must have left something behind, because these people don't know what to move too, the post religion world doesn't have hell but it doesn't have heaven either. None of his beliefs would be the same if he was born elsewhere and is just a reversion to old ways because he is scared of the future, going towards religion does nothing towards raising general wellbeing, it creates divisions that can't be got past.

  2. Maybe you are American, religion isn't like how you get it pumped to you elsewhere in the western world. It seems almost as bad as other religions the way it is forced into your lives. Atheism, when you only believe in your god because of where you were born, is the step outside thinking everything around you is normal everywhere else and as much as you are allowed to have freedom of religion there are plenty of people who would like freedom, from it.  @justaguy328

  3. What on earth and where on earth do you get this nonsense, Iraq was the centre of the scientific world, the muslim world was the centre of science and hundreds of years of wars have knocked down what was once as good as any christian "botany"I mean oh my goodness, "the scientific method " Hahahahah and you think xhristians invented that? Oh my goodness and then you talk about gross biases? Everything you have said is biased towards one belief without anything else being possible, that withces didn't do the same, an absolute joke, all of what you said and you should pull your head out of your you know what.. @TuhljinTampergauge

  4. Why is the notion that previous wisdom hasn't affected where we are, absurd? @jonathanhenderson9422

  5. Faith is it not a belief in something you can't prove but science is based around provable ? I mean you're the second person to somehow try and conflate the two> * You want to believe in something that you can't prove and want other people to believe in your belief system, based purely off faith...there is no religion in the world that relies on scientific proof, is there? So how can you say religion allows science to be part of the faith?  @ivermec-tin666

  6. "Faith is a belief system, that doesn't allow for science" Yes and I stand by that... Faith, is it not a belief in something you can't prove but science is based around provable ? I mean you're the second person to somehow try and conflate the two, one person said Christain monks were the first to start botany...I mean really!! You want to believe in something that you can't prove and want other people to believe in your belief system, based purely off faith...there is no religion in the world that relies on scientific proof, is there? So how can you say religion allows science to be part of the faith? I'm not saying "people" don't allow science in their lives who believe in God, I'm saying the religion/faith doesn't allow for any scientific method to be applied to it, to prove whether it's true or false.

  7. What Christian denominations don't allow for science, in your mind?? @ivermec-tin666

  8. Yes, a throwback to their history but it is never proven by science, is it? "The biggest conflict is when interpretation of scientific doesn't agree with religious beliefs." I don't understand what you are saying here. Are you saying when science based off facts, should agree with myth's? Why one religion, why not an indigenous one that means mountains have souls?  @kerwinbrown4180

  9. Oh I'm sorry, I missed the "scientific method" comment is used to interpret the bible which is probably the most...I can't even. The scientific method How it is Used Step 1 Make an Observation (Theory Construction) Step 2 Ask a Question Step 3 Form a Hypothesis (Make Predictions) Step 4 Run an Experiment (Gather Data) Step 5 Analyze the Data and Draw Conclusions Step 6 Share Your Results Step 7 Repeat the Scientific Method (Iteration) Explain to me where you think the scientific method is used to " interpret the bible , like how or in which way do you believe this? What observation of God, Mohammad, Vasus Agni , has anybody seen for you to think your one god/book is real? @kerwinbrown4180 * I'll post this a general comment because you're like the third person to use the term scientific method and I don't know if people are using it correctly, I can't see how they think anything has been proven about personal beliefs. As much as people have freedom of religion, I'm of the opinion we should be able to have freedom from it as well, but to say science and belief/faith can be the same thing or connected just because of where I was born, to me is incorrect.

  10. Ha, you use words together like they are supposed to mean something. @kerwinbrown4180

  11. Hahaha, the science of interpretation...oh gee, that was a good one. Dumb, stupid, self serving and close minded as religious people can be but still a good one, Is that like interpretative dance.. @kerwinbrown4180  * I'm going to go to Uni and get a degree in interpretation Thanks for that laugh, for being so understanding about how you might be wrong and don't have anything to explain how you might be right other than interpretation, which correct me if I'm wrong, is subjective.

  12. We are all products of our environment and change accordingly,. We don't throw virgins into volcanoes anymore so what, to you, is the human nature that doesn't change?

  13. No, I'm saying just because you believe something doesn't make it scientific. I could believe in fairies down the back of your place, in no way am I going to write a paper about the reality of it and expect people to think it's real, just because I believe it. There could be a higher power, it has nothing to with what we call religion and kill other people over. we could all have powers of communication with just our brains, the tech hasn't been invented yet to detect those brain waves, how do you test for something that might not be there right? But; if there is a theory of this or fairies and we somehow invent something that has no background then we will have scientific proof, until then it's just theory, an idea and if all religion was gone tomorrow and babies grew up without the past that still affects today, even our time now, would they really think the same as we do now? I doubt it, so we are all products of our environment, one where we believe myths from other religions, I mean how many "Gods" were killed and rose again, what is it, like 9 or something, for hundreds of years before the last one. There's no way a kid today would believe somebody dies and comes back to life, but we did and do for thousands and thousands of years, that is the part that is irrational, to not see how tens of thousands of years affected the religion that we ended up with. @dougcarey2233

  14. Just curious, did you bother to read the point you think you are countering? Nothing of what you said made sense towards it and then you talk about topic that is completely different and don't discuss the point made at all.. @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep

  15. I honestly did not see how your comment answered the question of whether or not our environment in still influenced by religion. @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep
