  Would the world be a better place without religion?

  by pistolpete in

  i know what you’re gonna say---------everyone has a right to believe whatever they want.. but the question above is not about everyone’s right to believe whatever.. the question is very specific------will the world be a better place----without religion.

  think for a while what the world would be like without any religion.. no conflicts between islam and christianity.. no conflicts between different sects of christianity.

  (example; jehovah’s witnesses vs catholics).

  PS: One verse in this song says "there is a grave which tries to hide the blood....". Today that grave is every Kingdom Hall on the planet.

  i have a question to the board.. if someone asks you the below question, how do you respond?

  please reflect on why you think the question was asked.

  (background... the spouse was talking to dubs about 6000 yrs and wanted to tell them that it was proved false).

  "Homo sapiens, the first modern humans, evolved from their early hominid predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago."
  

  It seems to me that if modern man emerged 300,000 years ago, we would have some written evidence of that fact dating well beyond 6000 years.

  Homo sapiens, the first modern humans, evolved from their early hominid predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. ...... The first modern humans began moving outside of Africa starting about 70,000-100,000 years ago.
  

  Decades vs a millennium - seems like quite a stretch if intelligent man has been here a hundred thousand years. The gospels were written within the lifetime of the Apostles.

  Interestingly

  "The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with the Sumerian cuneiform script, with the oldest coherent texts from about 2600 BC. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BC – AD 500."

  Why do you think human beings did not start recording history before the 6000 year mark? Anyone have a theory about that?
