Would a world without religion...

[Delphiki]

They have faith that science will one day be able to provide an answer - that it's within the realm of science because science explains the natural world.

It's not faith with science. It's called speculation. It's working toward a goal in knowledge. We don't know if we'll ever know, but we can keep trying anyway. It's worked many times before.

... Would a world without religion...

... be a better place?

The Dream of the Ridiculous Man is a short story by Dostoyevski.. about a man who has a vision of a world without organized religions or governments...

This is the vision..

PART FOUR - Heaven on Earth and the Fall of Mankind.

The BBC left some things out.. possibly for fear of causing offence..

I have included the parts that were left out in the TV drama in the text below the video.. it makes for interesting reading.

The story is based on what the Bible is really saying.. it is a short summary of the Holy Scriptures true agenda.

When one goes beneath the symbolism and the metaphors.. one discovers a hidden teaching.. which Dostoyevski reveals.. in this short story.

If you would like to watch it from the beginning.. this is part one..

Unfortunately I had to split it into 5 parts.. due to the 10 minute restriction on utube..

No. What you're describing is part of how science works. And people have faith in science quite apart from that.

Why do you keep saying this when actual materialists are telling you they believe the opposite? You've obviously got a bone to pick with people who blindly worship science - even if those people exist only in your imagination.

Are you a materialist?
