really, why do we discuss religion in this day and age?
that is a bit paranoid isnt it!Because there are among us those who would use religion as a weapon. A weapon to compel the rest of us to at least act like we believed also. These folks are serious.
Deadly serious.
Rational minds are at risk as long a single one of these "believers" is loose among us.

why? why is it important? what will change? is it not just us as conscious beings self reflecting our own insecrurites and ego?In this matter, this day and age isn't much different than it's always been: religion still plays a big part in peoples' motivations. Considering the diversity of ideas, I think it's still an important debate subject.

you mean we have devloped technologies which have helped explain nature/ then yes. but no , human nature/beings are still as stupid as everHaven't we made some social progress over the decades?

I'd say it's probably because two-thirds of the world's population affiliates, at least nominally, with a religion of some sort. I do wonder, though, why people who have no belief system at all, are so into maligning the beliefs of those who do. I mean, go to a cooking forum. You'll find people of all kinds who enjoy cooking different things. They'll share ideas, recipes, experiences, etc., and chances are they'll disagree on some points. But it's doubtful that they'll have to put up with very many people who just drop in to say, "Cooking's stupid! Why would anybody want to cook when they can eat out? I've never seen much point in cutting things up and watching them get hot."really, why do we discuss religion in this day and age?

No not at all. Perhaps you missed the events of 9/11, the conflict in Ireland, the Gaza strip, the 7 day war, the . . . well PERHAPS(?) you see some connection between deeply held religious beliefs and violence.
Or, then again, perhaps correlation does not necessarily equal causation.
Sorry, but from what I've seen, saying religious beliefs inherently cause violence is as silly as saying video games cause violence.
