Quote by: Starboy WhateverItTakes, don't you know? If there was no god we would all kill ourselves. The funny thing about it is there doesn't appear to be any god at all but I do not see everyone lining up to kill themselves. Gee, could it be that all species must have a strong survival instinct to say..... survive? And that any species that didn't have such a trait would not be here to .... talk about it? In fact most supernatural religions are very odd in that many are obsessed with death and the afterlife. Hardly life affirming. They all say they want to go to heaven, and I have offered to send them there but there are no takers. How odd.

I want to go. I want to go to heaven. Please take me now from this God forsaken land.
On a side note. Religion has given some ground rules that do help society.
But when used to kill others it has gone too far, and even as much as just controlling people and brainwashing them, it has gone too far.
I find that society will always strive to work better with others especially in times of distress. I mean hasn't 9/11 proven that and the great flood of last New Years proven that no matter what you believe people tend to want to live peacefully to survive and help each other out?
Did God Help? Did he come down from the sky shedding "mana" on the land to help. No. Society helped.
