WHY ARE THE ROLE PLAYS ABANDONED?!?!

[cyan]

everyone? obviously not I because I asked about it.

[Shai'tan]

sure they could. a little propaganda goes a long way. and even if religion didn't initially exist, the people in power would have created some form of worship some time as a means to control the masses. why else would the roman empire adopt christianity as the state religion? organized religion isn't a matter of whether god exists or not. it's a matter of power.

True. As Napoleon in that movie about Napoleon said:

God is a theory, religion is a fact.

[Ml08180]

Science is the change of belief based on observation. Faith is denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

[keja]

No it isn't

[Ml08180]

yes it is.

[keja]

No, it really isn't

[Ml08180]

yes it really is.

[keja]

Neither of those statements are true. I'm not sure you know what the words science and faith mean.

remember we must also have faith in science because what we know today could be false tommorrow as the universe is large enough for any possibility.

(examples: death as an enivtability has been proven wrong as a substance that makes human cells immortal by alowing them to divide endlessly thus stopping ageing has been found to bad it could also kill you because it also causes cancer to be as dangerous as it is... also scientists have said that they do not know what mass is or how it functions so they are building a collider to find out. possibly leading to weightless space travel as they find how to turn mass off)

or we could go into a large complex debate about reality and how it is just completely random at times.
