  Five stars!

  It’s unimaginable how messed up the world would be without religions, even Islam.

  Yeah people would be murdering people constantly and running around without any moral compass, thank god for religions, they’ve done nothing but good.

  No offense but that is just ridiculous, human’s tend to follow the notion of mutual safety meaning if you don’t kill me I won’t kill you. You don’t need a bunch of stories to tell you to do that.

  Let’s go one further, I like how Ricky Gervais puts it:

  “… Science is constantly proved all the time. You see, if we take something like any fiction, any holy book… and destroyed it, in a thousand years’ time, that wouldn’t come back just as it was. Whereas if we took every science book, and every fact, and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they’d all be back, because all the same tests would [produce] the same result.”

  And we also reason to necessary causation and the fundamental ground of being itself, which gives us classical theism. Aristotle & the Greeks did this almost 2,500 years ago, without revelation (or any of the subsequent holy books). Because in spite of totalising ideologies’ attempts to extirpate religion, and commit actual mass murder against religious people, to take “holy books… and destroy them,” this metaphysical understanding will survive. Even after a thousand years. It’s probably our most evolutionarily successful idea. And no successful civilisation has ever been created without it.

  Also, it would be nice if humanity followed the notion of mutual safety more often. Regrettably, we can just refer to the news and find out how often they don’t. We have always engaged in conflict and fought wars - for reasons of territory, power, resources & fear. Just War theory (St. Augustine; St. Thomas Aquinas) was an effort to mitigate these horrors. Religion is also responsible for the first international human rights convention; the first mass peace movements; and the concept and doctrine of fundamental, universal human rights (based on the Imago Dei).
  But Ricky is responsible for Extras & Derek. So, a mixed record all round.
