Today's own has the usual runaround with the poster dropping various place names and other names.

Nothing new in the narrative, nothing surprising, just the typical mishmash of vague and piecemeal postings with promises of more which all wind up as mere wisps/whiffs of nothing in particular.

Hey Bro, this thread is useless in my own opinion. Freedom is attained by digressing from ass-worshiping,embracing solitude and thinking outside the box.Its not easy but certainly not impossible. At the end the soul redeems itself from varying arrays of bondage accompanying the sheepish believe of a certain god. What Religion brought to the table is always fear,and mental bondage. Now don't get me wrong,despite beign an agnostic i love Religion.Religion is a tool to interweave,curb and restrain the infiniteness of the obdulate human mind, yes,human mind is powerful and capable of wandering beyond control which is catastrophic to societal norm,the fear of God reduces that to an extent ATLEAST. Imagine if your parents told you that you'll live just to die someday. Religion submits hope and purpose.Although judging from hindsight religion has employ more damage than repair. But who knows what the absence of religion might have done to the human race,probably more damage by far DON'T get upset when Atheist discover the bitter truth. And mind you,ITS THE FACT

I agree with most of your post, but a few things:

1. I'm sure you're aware of the global statistics regarding the inverse relationship between a country's religiousity, and its health, GDP, scientific & educational progress, peace index, etc. How do you imagine that these mostly atheistic countries get along peacefully without religion?

2. Quite a few psychological studies have been done investigating the nature of human wellbeing and what factors contribute most to it. Intimate (not necessarily romantic, but deep & meaningful) relationships, sufficient (but not necessarily extravagant) living wages, and contributing to the happiness of others in meaningful ways (i.e. sincere volunteer work, providing healthcare to others, or simply showing kindness) have been shown to be some of the most telling contributors to human life satisfaction. Do you think religion would still be necessary for hope & purpose if people were to embrace & pursue goals like these en masse?

the malfeasance monopoly of our political system is based on achieving selfish interest. The stats are misleading if its based on religion alone.Religion is not solely the culprit here.
Every action has an equal reaction,activity that transgresses moral or civil law should be penalized to maintain law and other in the society irrespective of one's religious stand.It strikes a balance.

No! You see,because of that religion was invented to instill the fear of supernatural.The competive nature of human platform is to be blamed,there is no way this notion of yours would be possible because evil would always begat evil .
