Shim, I know I've already debated with you on this point in another thread, and so I won't bring up that particular argument again. I just want to say that I do believe that organized religion has done more harm than good, overall. It also served as a guiding light through the Dark Ages, until the Renaissance came along. There are hundreds of millions of people that would definitely disagree with you, myself included. Religion doesn't started wars; a few screwed-up higher-echelon people with a skewed perception of said religion start wars.


hahaha its funny when i jsut read your post it reminded me of the quote "guns dont kill people, people kill people"

your right thought it did serve as a beacon of light throught the dark ages, but, what might have happened i wonder if religion didnt have that same iron hold on the world through the dark ages. think of how much history could have eben saved. i donno if i agree with the, but its been said that if the roman empire hadnt colapsed and the dark ages hadnt occured a renossance kinda event would have occured 1000 years before so in like 600 AD rather then 1600 AD. alas i do remember debating you, hahaha so we'll leave it at that. you can rebute but i probably wont counter with another point

i really dont understand why blizzard wont make starcraft 2. the logic is almost the same as lucas nto releaseing the OT. like Starcraft has been called one of the best games of all time, its fits into that catagory with doom and duke nuckum. a sequel to the game would make them so much money they wouldnt know what to do with it.

Guns Don't Kill People; Men With Mustaches Kill People

And as far as the Church's "iron hold" during the Dark Ages, if the Church hadn't had said metallic grip, then a lot more history would have been lost, because the majority of literate people at that time were clergymen.

And as far as the early Renaissance thing goes, all that boils down to is speculation. All it is is "what-ifs".

I'm addicted to Planetside!!!!!!

Yeah, looking to Religion to blame for all of history's wars is nothing more than a baseless witch-hunt. One could just as easily say something like 'Science caused all wars throughout history'. There'd be no bombs, tanks, missiles, ICMBs, even swords yada yada yada. It's all bullcrap.

We could all sit here and do nothing and no wars would occur, but with the development of anything good or useful, the capacity for evil applications of that thing always exist as long as human beings are involved.

*Perhaps* World of Starcraft wouldn't work, but I've been hanging out for StarCraft 2 for years now.
MTFBWY. Always.

Yeah, that would be great. Too bad the good folks at Blizzard now seem more interested in elves and fairies than Zerg and Protoss.

If you really, honestly look at it, wars never began from religion. A man says God told him to go kill all these people in a holy war. No, God makes a good excuse, I mean if God said it it is all alright then. Religion is merely used as an excuse. Religion itself is not to blame.
If the excuse of religion was not used, then there would have been some other excuse.
