Marki2k7 But even religious modesty is breeding ground for extremism. Most of the Muslim population is sane. Do you think those terrorist would've attacked on 9/11 if they didn't believe that they were doing Allah's will? They believed in the literal word of the Qu'ran. Religion in all forms, should be eradicated. Does Religion not state that it has 'answers' for everything; The beginning of life, How we should live, And the end of life? If the true answers lie elsewhere, why should we give token to religion? Religious modesty is breeding ground for extremism.
Because a vast majority of the population is in a state where they would be utterly weak and helpless without their faith, both emotionally and morally.
"Eradication" makes it sound like we should go on some kind of crusade like they did in the Soviet Union and get rid of it all together. No, it would be better to simply inject a respect for scientific theory and rationalism than to remove it all together. People, generally, need some kind of faith in something beyond themselves to grab onto, or they lose their concept of purpose all together. It'd take a major philosophical and political revolution to give them any reasonable replacement, and that's utterly at the question right now.
And I kind of preferred John Paul II. Now he was a pimp, man. 8D
