I see the problem " Does God exist?" irelevant, because it doesn't affect us.


God's existential status doesn't matter to me either, but it certainly does affect a good portion of the population in the U.S., especially the enormous chunk that subscribes to a fundamentalism.

But the point of what I wrote was to say that the premise in this thread's title is faulty because disproof like proof of the undefined is not possible. So speculation about a tomorrow that follows upon the impossible is pointless.

Well it is posible to lead the world in chaos but not something good will come out of it .

Well considering that there is nothing unique to religion that is good, I am calling bullshit on your argument, if you could even call it one.

So are you saying that if religion will suddenly disapear , people that depend emotionally on it won't be affected ?

I'm pretty sure not much would change. Maybe a little less terrorism.

But I would bet that most people are more ethically bound by laws and customs than by their religious mores. I think human societies are remarkably corrective.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Depends on the laws , in my country the laws are very easy going , so people aren't really afraid of them. For killing a men with premeditation the penitence is from 15 too 25 years .

Silly topic creator, even if there were empirical evidence there was no god--the Christians and Muslims and Jews and whatnot would all just say they don't believe the evidence. Many of them already do it for evolution.

Yeah that is a real problem . This I think it comes from fear. The only way to overcome that is to rationalise.

Religion would fade but the die-hards would remain, and likely become more desperate in their tactics.

I have encountered a number of Christians who have stated, categorically, that if their god or holy book was proven 100% false, that they would still believe.

Let that sink in.

The saddest thing isn't that they think that way of religion , is that this way of thinking resonates in all the aspects of their life .

15 years is a long damn time. I'm not sure what your point is here.
