Most "SCARY" invention of mankind. What is it?

Some atheists claim that religion is the one. Some theists claim non-religion is the one. Some people think the nuclear bomb is the one. Others think the nuclear bomb is necessary, thus it is a response to other things that are scary. Some people think that missiles are the scariest invention of mankind, while others call some missiles "peace keepers". Some people thought in history, the "lightning bringing stick" referring to the gun as the one. Some others may think a rebellion is the one.

What do you think is the scariest thing mankind ever invented? Why do you think that is?

Haha. I have one. So far I have not found it that scary. Why do you say so?

Anger. I had one for awhile...everyone seemed so easily angered. Lack of transparency. I'm an open book, but it seems one can't use the toilet and keep it to themselves on there(I'm speaking figuratively).

It seems to be a land of imagination as well. Dressed up pictures and exaggerated scenarios. The danger lies in that some can't tell the difference between reality and make believe anymore, and it kinda spills out everywhere.

Hmm. I get it my friend.

You mean all weapons?

See, what if some weapons are important to keep your family safe?
Yes, all weapons scare the living daylight out of me. Honestly, I do not want to pick up any weapon.
As a pacifist, I do not wish harm upon anyone, even if I am attacked myself.

I live alone and have no family left, so maybe it is easier for me to be without any weapon to defend.

For me it is religions, and although we could cite so many other things that cause division and conflict, and which have resulted in so many deaths, religions are the main beliefs most difficult to alter or eradicate (in my view), mostly because they are based on material from the past that is essentially taken 'as is' (and not provable), even though we have so many different interpretations of such. For all the good they have done, we just don't know if our history would have been better and perhaps less troubled if they hadn't existed - or at least in the forms they took. But perhaps we were just destined for what we got no matter as to whatever such beliefs formed.

I suppose that ideologies, as to religions being a subset of these in my view, could be labelled as being the most dangerous thing though.

So you think religions are the most dangerous invention of mankind. And you base it on a "dont know"? Please explain if you have some time.

In my opinion...Covid 19. I think it was a biological warfare experiment gone wrong.
I just found out this weekend two friends I have known since my teen years passed with covid.
If anyone still thinks covid is fake, they are idiots.
You don't have to agree, you asked my thoughts.
