Would it be worth it?
#11
RE: Would it be worth it?
Rendering them impotent to give in to this baser impulse doesn't remove those motivations, they'd just have to find a more positive way to channel them. There's obviously still competition, sexual/romantic if nothing else given that all other basic needs would be met. So you wouldn't be removing suffering nor struggle, just the bits that enable them to harm others as a result.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
