^Well, there is another big-ass thread with many more points and discussions than this one.
And look how that turned out!
I feel so acknowledged now that I've seen 17 people quote me in their sig. And 4 unfortunately.
Hot girl here:
Spoiler!
turned out bigass
Ugh, anyways.
Technologically speaking, the only thing that seems to be coming our way is cloning and whatnot, and that itself seems to be a dead end practice.
Plus, it was Islam that pushed the world in Medicine. Such as the interpretation of Micro-organisms in the 14th century. Although they were never observed until the 17th century.
First of all, this thread is **** and needs to be merged or deleted. There's a reason that a SINGLE religion thread exists, there are a few things that really rub people's socks the wrong way, and they are religion, politics, and some other **** I don't know of. So with that said, we don't have many politics threads besides one time of year, and religion threads do very well when they're stuck together in ONE thread. We've had 2 threads on the subject so far, and the first one started out accidentally and in another subforum. There might be a need to refresh the 'bigass' thread going now, but there's no demand for it YET, and no one is telling you to read the whole thing, use the ****ing thread.
No, this is not true, no true at all.
The how may lead to the why, but the how is not the why. One must always care as to the why.
Why do we die? Why does a wolf howl at the moon? Why are monsoons created?
How is important, in fact it is the base of all knowledge. However why can be akin to wisdom.
You may now how a sheep bleats, but if you do not know why, there is no reason to know how other than the sake of knowing.

I've been reading up on Buddhism a lot lately, it's funny how when people can't dismiss a religion, they call it a 'way of life'.
The biggest problem though is what 'defines' a religion. For example some may say that it just has to have a deity and can be about anything, like Flying Spaghetti Monsters. Some may say that it is a spiritual outline of how the spiritual world works, and some further may say that it has to reference the beginning of the universe.
The only reason Christianity is targeted is because while it is a religion that's easily disproven it still has many followers. No one's going out and disproving Norse Mythology (also apparently any religion that loses all followers becomes mythology MAGICALLY), or greek mythology.

Gone with the wind
Religion is a support for people first of all. Believe me, many people don't even understand what they believe, but they feel safer when they have this faith with them. It seems to me that I have the same thing with psychic readings. Recently I came across Westword on which I was able to choose a useful application for myself and now it seems to me that it has become easier for me to breathe and live.
I think religion is more about finding salvation, and it doesn't matter if you believe in God, reincarnation, or anything like that. It's just a way of coping with things, and for me, the best way to do that is astrology. I often read something like scorpio and scorpio compatibility in order to understand what direction to go to improve relationships and life in general.
