A Thought Experiment for Believers and Atheists Alike
#40
RE: A Thought Experiment for Believers and Atheists Alike
New one will appear - if religions are rooted in human misery then what stops frauds in poor countries from inventing new ones? What will stop people with authoritarian tendencies from making another sky daddy and yelling obey? What will stop ignorant from claiming that they have one true answer so they can soothe themselves and clad in garment of certainty?

If conditions that make religions possible will not disappear then religions itself will survive I would say.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Mikhail Bakunin.
