A Thought Experiment for Believers and Atheists Alike
#16
RE: A Thought Experiment for Believers and Atheists Alike
Oh, I would love to think that the human race would be completely free of any concept of a deity or anything supernatural.  Yeah, we can do away with ghosts and spirits and angels and santa claus and vampires and zombies . . . entertainment writers would have to work harder . . . and there would certainly be less war.

But I'm quite sure that some sick con-artist would try to make something up.  They would probably claim to have scientific proof of crystal healing or pyramid power and then a bunch of idiots would buy it, and we'd be off to the races again.   Dodgy
