We'd have been a lot more advanced, scientifically and possibly socially as well.

You presume a rational authority would have broken out? Religion aided educated and civilization, which ushered us into a new scientific age, which ultimately supplemented its own downfall.

Religion was an educational aid, nothing else. It is a 'theory' penned to explain our existence. In my opinion, nobody should preach creationism (for example) as fact, because there is no evidence to suggest.

Science would have progressed without religion, at a much better pace. We wouldn't have had the scientific repression in the dark ages for a start. You didn't need a belief in God to ask why? Some of the greatest minds in history didn't believe in God. The greatest philosopher in history, Socrates, didn't believe in a God.

Religion might have been good economically. People worked for the glory of God, thus increasing worker productivity and shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right.

Einstein did, as did a lot of other quite smart people.

You can share your opinion, but it doesn't make it true. Saying the world is bad because of religion is grossly attacking religion.

I never said it was true. I said it was MY OPINION.

And what is wrong with me saying religion is bad? That is what I think, I've not set out to offend anyone, I even said that they might find my opinion offensive and said I'd rather not do it. They still did. They told me they valued every opinion they got and wanted to express a variety of opinions of what people think. That is, expect for those that go against what they are preaching.

I'm not criticizing you for writing your opinion on your wall. I'm criticizing your reasoning behind your answer.

I would have personally written "greed".

Fuck religious arguments on here.

I think I'm too normal for the Internet. I haven't a fucking clue what any of that means.

None really, just pointing out that not all intellectuals dont/didnt believe in God.

Yes, my views on EA are ever so serious, are they not?

Why? Because you don't agree with it?

Ah, yeah, I didn't mean it like that. Was just saying that religious belief doesn't make a difference.

Not now, of course. But back in the day...

Has anyone had that 'The Spicy One' bake from Greggs?

Lovely it is. Fajita Chicken, Pepperoni and Cheese.

Exactly. Why would I be debating it if I agreed with it?

The same days when I believed in a certain thing called JuicyClementine...

So, explain to me, why are they allowed to remove my opinion from their wall on the basis that it doesn't agree with what they are preaching?

Tbf I think I put Newcastle in the relegation places in a prediction thread on here. I wanted to go for a shock result that I could look back at and be like 'yeah, I totally called that'.

In hindsight it was a bad choice.

When did I say they should remove your answer? I'm just discussing your answer.

Any mods/admins on?
