Forums - General - Which is the Greater Evil? ~ RELIGION or TECHNOLOGY?

depends on who is controlling them, me with nuclear weapons is far more dangerous than a priest for example, you could also look at it that while religion could be sited as the cause of wars it is technology that finishes it

Well religion seems to do more damage than it does good.
Technology can do many good things but can also kill us all.

I'd say technology is less evil just because it actually does some good in the world.

Religious Robots!

 

 

 LOL I love Futurama.

@OP. Depends on context. You cant genralize all religion and all technology. Both can and have been used for evil and continue to be used for evil.

 Lies. You'd rather have people wasting time worshopping the moon god Lunos, then wasting time playing a Wii?

Dumb dumb dumb question...

The answer is a combination of both(IF used for evil purposes bc both can do good as well).

religion is more Evil than Technology because people who fight for religion use technolgy badly. And technolgy isn't bad, people who use it badly are bad.
So technology can really not be evil.

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed" - Gandhi

While technology, if wielded by the right minded people, can be used to sustain insanely high populations, save millions from "common" diseases, and give us the modern comforts that make our lives so enjoyable.

Religion, can potentially warp the minds of rational people, and make them irrational. Whether they have only swords and catapaults, to guns and bombs, the mind and irrationality is the source of the problem, not the technology.

You could argue that this is just a gun control debate on a huge scale XD
