Mostly about ensuring access to or control of natural resources, imo.

Medical treatment = science, often life saving
Religion= load of utter bollox, no benefits at all
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Without religion/the Church there wud not b medical treatment/science
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Served it’s purpose (badly) now it’s obsolete, time to get out of the dark ages. Religion is not for the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So what is the future?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not religion that’s for sure. Science and technology will be the dominant drivers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Dawkins said the same thing and was left crying when it became clear woke culture had replaced religion instead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Woke culture is nothing like religion, I’m not a fan of it either, but to my knowledge hasn’t caused any wars like the abomination that is organized religion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Science and religion are in completely different spheres.

Science teaches nothing about how to treat fellow man.

If you said politics should be replaced by science, that would make no sense either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not replacing it, religion needs to die. It’s outdated totally illogical and responsible for atrocities. It has no place going forward.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unacceptable!!!!

But it will go forwards whether you like it or not as most in the world follow a religion.

Most atrocities are ideologically motivated these days, and your anarchic vision will see more atrocities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That does not deflect from the fact most wars have probably been religiously motivated. Here’s a modern one: ISIS. It’s a convenient excuse, for people being evil. It’s got no place these days. As soon as it’s looked at logically, it makes no sense at all. Sure it has its good parts, in the human aspect but that’s more the goodness of some people, helping others, in other words social responsibility. I’m not surprised to see you back it N2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah but the West's political invasion of Iraq killed way more than Isis did.

The biggest genocides in history were ideological.

But you don't want to accept this as it doesn't fit your agenda.

Sorry 1 ⭐️ from me! 52 you’re playing the narcissistic card now!

You’ve had an accident which we all feel sorry for you, but don’t bring religion into it!

Everyone’s circumstances are different!

What a question for the minds of JA606 to speculate on

This are post Educating Rita times. Just writing one line comments like 'Do it on the radio' aint enough to get any marks. Propose argue and debate.

How the hell does a thread about the adventure of 52 in a French hospital end up talking about Genghis Khan?

I’m led to understand that they are genetically related down the centuries. The way in which 52 has single-handedly taken over virtually the entire French input into JA606 is stunning.

Whether he’s being idealogical or not, I couldn’t possibly comment.

Get well soon, dude.

Hey,52, how you doing?

Haven't seen you around that much the past couple of days, hopefully you're just enjoying a bit of a break (no pun intended) from ja606.

Hi ioagm. Not too bad at all. Walking with sticks now, and on Wednesday move to a clinic for therapy. Two weeks there and I should be ready to go, but carefully for a while.
So looking forward to my holidays the first two weeks of August. Gentle walking in the Alps, the flat bits round lakes.

Wow, great to hear you seem to be making speedy progress then!

Do be careful, but keep at it. I think one of the most important aspects or the rehab exercise is to help rebuild all the muscle and other fibres they have to cut through for the op. Nothing much I can add that will be more informative than your doctor's advice though.

It's great too that you have something to look forward to in the shortish term, as that's likely to keep you going on days where you might not feel all that inclined.

On the religion thing, I just typed this up on another thread. Thought it might also be worth posting here:
---

Some points:

1. I'm an atheist, personally.

2. I don't see a problem at all with whatever people want to believe in the private sphere.

3. Religion, whether in the smallest, remotest tribes, or in the largest most technologically advanced societies, has played a key role in politics ever since human communities realised that having a shared moral currency was conducive to conflict resolution.

4. That last point is rarely considered by atheists when we talk about the wars and issues religion causes. Religion has played an absolutely essential role in the establishment of legal codes everywhere around the world, and as such has helped bring just as much peace as it has conflict, if not more.

5. Notwithstanding the above, in such multicultural, multi-denominational societies and can be found in the world today, I do not think it's a good idea at all for the dominant religion in any of those societies to be trying to dictate and impose their the laws on everyone else.
