"That is hard to answer. I mean if you only remove the dark age, which was about 500-600 years, assuming science came to a halt during that period, we should of had iphones around the time christopher columbus discovered america. With the…"

mwifjsyi replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"The power it would take to ban religion would be a scary amount. So no, I don't want to "ban" religion. A lot of times I wish it would disappear though. "
Mac posted a discussionHow far behind are we?
I wonder if anyone can provide an educated value for the following question?How far behind are we? In terms of scientific progress how many "lost" years could we attribute to the last two thousand years of repression, fear and ignorance? Answers must include a modern day object or scientific advancement in its religion free timeline. i.e. a 747 flown by the Wright brothers.Serious answers and silliness both welcome.... See More

@ Unseen - Episcopal = God light lol."

Heather Spoonheim replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"And back to my initial statement - I don't feel anyone should have the right to tell their children that punishment might include being burned alive. If your church could avoid that then certainly others could as well."
Unseen replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"I grew up in the Episcopal church, and all I can say is that Hell was almost never discussed. In fact, the only time I can even remember the word coming up is in the Lord's Prayer which claims that Jesus descended into Hell during the period…"
Mac replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"Again Thank you to all who replied... I refer you back to my original comment made three years ago when this question was originally posted (no idea how it flared up again?)
..... it is very interesting that this disbelieving hoarde…"
Heather Spoonheim replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"Yeah, and if I cornered their children and told them all about death, and how once you die "that's it", game over, you don't exist anymore - then I suppose that might be abuse. That's not what I'm proposing,…"
Unseen replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"I suppose it all depends on how one looks at it. I imagine the theist is going to view you as terrorizing children with the threat of no chance at an afterlife."
Mabel replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"I would like to put a ban on the sorts of ideas that can be passed on to children, however. Primarily, I feel that no one should have the right to tell their children that a possible punishment might include being burned alive.
@ Heather - I…"
Ed replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"Constitutionally it is a violation. But if it were banned w/o also removing the concept of religion from the minds of everyone it would still fail to accomplish anything ultimately. Remember how well the Prohibition era worked in the first part of…"
Heather Spoonheim replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"So threatening children with immolation is just one form of child abuse that we must tolerate? No thank you - I'll stick by my desire to ban that sort of behavior."
Dale Headley replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"You can’t ban religion without banning thinking; and I would never want do that. Banning thinking is what religion is all about. The solution is not to join them (in stifling free thought), but for free thinkers to continue to…"
John Major replied to Mac's discussion 'something to ponder'"I wouldn't ban religion but I would stop state money going to finance religious schools. I don't want my tax money going to promote religious education."
