also true, lol, but seriously, alot of the wars seem to be due to religion in some way, im just saying maybe we'd be better off without it |
More people would believe in aliens. jesus thats worse.
Sociologically the belief in a higher being has always helped people explain things, now that science does most of the explaining its not needed.
Faith in something is always needed to cope with tragedy. Religion, the opiate of the masses, is both beneficial in this context but easily abused too. Clinging to their religion and guns was how Obama put it. When challenged with economic, health, life threatening problems it is religion that helps people cope.
The flipside is control, keep people distracted by fantasy while science is staring them in the face. Personally i prefer the government to be held entirely accountable when they screw things up instead of reliance on higher being. Bring on anarchy i say, because atleast that might ensure something really gets done about it.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
