[QUOTE="Ken-1122, post: 76939195, member: 277047"] I disagree! History is full of examples of morally corrupt civilizations becoming very rich and powerful due to their corruption. Look at the examples of the Dahomey and Manikongo who became very powerful and rich capturing people and selling them into slavery. And when slavery ended, they became poor and weak. Morality has nothing to do with financial success and power. Religion does not say that. Religion says people are too corrupt too wicked to judge anything so it has to be left up to God. Smart vs stupid has nothing to do with it. Religion is just one of countless sources that provides such tools. If that were true, intelligent people would be morally superior to those of less intelligence. A quick look into the real world and you will see that is far from the truth. The lords prayer is reference to the person or group praying, not the entire world. In order to make Earth more like Heaven, you would need the cooperation of everybody on Earth. [/QUOTE]
