Well......i used to frequent a facebook page called "United with Israel"...i think i both offended and defended all sides lol. Oh and the other group would be the Iplaycod forums (i visit neither anymore) and no i was never banned, the moderators loved me.
Or perhaps science can debunk the contents of the religious texts that "guide" most of the worlds population, and people can begin to look at the universe in awe, rather than a small god on our small planet in our tiny corner of the galaxy. One of my favourite quotes is from professor Lawrence Krauss when he said "you are all stardust, forget Jesus, the stars died for you". A great quote, in my opinion the universe and our search for answers, many of which we may never find, is far greater and more awe inspiring than any human faith, i for one am greatful that i was lucky enough to exist, and to have a chance to take in this world and know it's scientific origins, and yes, to explore evidence based theory as opposed to ancient texts set in stone. I know we will always have religion in this world, but i hope we never go back to the days where i would be forbidden to even talk about this topic in a meaningfull way, i think we can all agree there, after all Elite dangerous is a work of blasphemy that defies all three major holy books by suggesting that the Earth is over 6000 years old.
That's not how i see it, violence trancsends religion and science and science and religion transcends violence, so it's really a seperate issue. You get scientists who may invent weapons to kill, you get religious people who invent/inherit reasons to kill. But the nature of science is progress (learning the laws of physics, and that the Earth is not flat or 6000 years old, and science enables progress via cures, vaccines and methods of protecting people) whereas the nature of religion is regressive (in that almost everything about religion ignores progress and promotes slavery and bondage and violence). So no, science does not really enable religion to kill people. People were killing in much higher numbers (per contextual population) before science, and human life is valued much higher in secular science based countries like the UK, Israel, Japan France and Germany, than in the regressive Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and even the red US states. Science may provide certain tools to religion, but it certainnly does not help religion to kill (as it would kill anyway).
So you are an agnostic just like me. You see no proof, to god existence and you neither see proof about his non existence. Right?
