I mean, if we are looking at it optimistically, technological advancements, and an increase in readily available knowledge combined with the fact that the non-religious have been increasing for years, and look as though it will only keep increasing, I don't think anyone should be concerned with one ideology ruling, or even taking over others. It would take a long string of unplanned bad decisions in a row, and regretful risings to power, along with many other domino effect-worst case scenario events to take place, in order for something like religious war, or one religions uprising to even take place.(November 29, 2015 at 1:47 am)Aoi Magi Wrote: Christianity has gone through this phase, now Islam is going through this same barbaric phase, so hopefully, it'll be followed by a similar reformation and more and more people waking up to the threat of religious fundamentalism.
It'll take an equally bloody religious war. We should wash our hands of it (outside of repairing our own damage, in the form of taking refugees who want no part of that bullshit) and let the chips fall where they may.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
