I agree and i disagree, i believe that in todays world, religion has caused alot of conflict, but i also disagree that it would stop if religion was banished, we're human, its in our nature to be a bigger/better than someone else, have more money etc.. want to achieve more than others.. so as mentioned, we would get bored as a race and someone would find something else to start a war over. be it oil/fuels/ wealth etc.. it would happen.
However i do feel that as a human race we are way behind on evolution due to the fact of religion, if people put that book down reading about myths 2000+ years ago.. and picked up a book on how to's then we'd be alot more advance than where we are today. we have kind of failed as humans, we have enough rocket power to send spaceships etc to other planets to explore but instead we use this power to blow eachother up.. its baffling as to why.
i read on here somewhere before, i really hope there is another form of life out there somewhere who has done a much better job than us!
