Being "safe" isn't the only purpose of religions. It is also to instil morals upon the youth so they know right from wrong.

Also, rofl. I just read over what he said and I still don't find anything you stated being even remotely close to the point he was trying to bring across. I understand what YOU mean, but you misinterpreted what he said. What he actually said was basically "religion was made back in the days when people had a low as **** iq, now that we are smarter why do we still need religion". Nothing about feeling safe. What he was trying to say is that our ancestors were retards and they made religions, and since "we are a lot smarter" than them we shouldn't believe in religions anymore.
I SUMMON THE POWERS OF GAEA AND OURANOS TO PERMANENTLY BANISH THIS THREAD TO... uh... gaea's stomach.
or wherever hell is.
(since you guys know some ghosts, maybe we can get some tactical nukes up in here? they only cost 100 minerals and 100 vespene)
the notion of heaven and hell was created by the acient egyptians who believed that when you died your soul was transported to the underworld (hell). there your hearth would be placed on a balance with some items that represents justice. if in balance you would enter paradise. if not a crockodile god would eat you for ever. this concept has been re-used. It was a way to scare people into behaving. your god only exists for about 2000 years in the 10000 years of human existance. (let me not even talk about the existance of earth and the universe). humans arn't special at all.
I go against it because i wont let a book tell me what is wrong and right. I can make up my own mind about that by properly investigating these matters instead of putting your mind to 0 and just follow everyone.
My goal in life is to have a good time and enjoy to the fullest. since there isnt any proper evidence of life ather death (we just dont know) I just want to do everything i want to do in THIS life.
LOL Ancient Eqyptians? Is that how far back you think religion existed? Don't forget about the Akkadians! They were way back before Ancient Egypt and Assyria.
You obviously believe in evolution, I won't argue against that. That's YOUR belief. Who adherents are following the herd like a sheep with Christianity?
That's right, you don't understand. You think every religion is the same and interpret it the wrong way. Well, no one is stopping you
from 'LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST', question is, what if there was a God? This is a transcendent dimension we're speaking of. Something supernatural.
Way beyond worldly perspectives. After you die, do you believe you will physically rot in the ground and that's it? Why are we here then?
