Nations also cause and start wars.Should we also extingish countries?

The problem with religion is extremism, as it is with anything.As long there is people that takes things to extreme, everything will have its bad side.Its not the religion, or its organisation fault for that.As everything, the fault lies in us:humans.

Honestly, that wouldn't be such a bad idea. I was actually considering making a thread asking if countries/governments were a necessary or unnecessary evil anyway. As far as I see it the main purpose of a country is protection, partially from other people and partially from other countries. If all countries were abolished then that would be at least one of their uses made irrelevant.

Countries provide more than protection.They provide stability(when there is no war of course), quality of life, oportunities(government programs) and many other small perks.If countries were to be extinguished, and assuming that its laws goes with it, we would be in a state of anarchy.That would mean that if someone dosent like you, they could very well simply kill you and get away with it.And I mean, its not like "countries" would cease to exist.It would be much like in the Walking Dead:People would band together, form either tribes or small cities, which would be basically small nations, and atack and kill others for resources or simply to have more.It would just create a bigger problem in my opinion.

And you would just be treating the consequences, not the causes.Both with the country and religion topic.First, not only because if religion were abolished, it would survive nonetheless and would reorganize itself again(we have many examples through the history, such as cristianism back when it was founded.They were always hunted, but their numbers kept growing.The solution to that constant bloodshed was to make the religion official).Secondly, it wouldnt stop the terrorists atacks.The reason why there are wars or the atacks are because we are humans.We feel jealous of others, or we feel that we have more reason than others, and feel like we need to "show" them the real "path".If that problem is not fixed, banning things wont fix anything.
