Many people say a big nuclear incident, will happen for sure, we just dont know when. Do you agree? It doesnt seems very unlikely when an atomic bomb can be made in a normal garage in 24H. It doesnt requires much to do one, what is hard to get is enriched uranium ( i dont know what its called in english ). But many sources say Al Qaeda already has it. So maybe its really only a matter of time. And you know this is where humanity is put to the test. Really, when people have to rely on something like an atomic bomb to make their point of view, or just to prove something, then all my faith in it is lost. Nuclear and biological weapons is just the dirtiest way of war. War doesnt make any sense, but this is too much. To think the whole world is on risk just cause of a few people that are out of their minds... This aint something that only concerns a few countries. An atomic bomb in any country in the world will change completely the world as you know it. This may sound something that is very unlikely to happen, but in can happen. It can happen in 1hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 year, 100 years, but as long these conflicts that the world is facing exist, it, then the risk for it happen is very high. You know i think religion kinda plays a crucial role in todays conflicts, and it always had since the beggining of our days. Have you always wondered that maybe we would be better without it? Maybe is just me. Maybe if people stop wasting their live worring with those things, then maybe we could concern ourselves primarily in enjoying life the best way we can. Cause maybe there isnt another life after this, and some are just wasting it, hoping they are doing the right thing. All religions are the same, one more extreme than others, but in the end they are all the same. Many holy books have war messages. 60% of one of these holy books is all about war. This way we wont get anywhere. The only possible way i know for this to end, is trough children, maybe if they arent heavly influenced, if we all let them think on their own, maybe we can get a better future. Cause thers literally nothing we cant do, i think we will last forever, it will be hard for us to be extinct. And its ironic ans sad that the only way for it to happen its trough Human themselves. In case you may be asking why did i started with this, its just cause i saw something today about it on the news. So what you think? inb4coolstorybro

If religion wasn't around, people would still be killing each other, it'd just be over different aspects of life.

A country-initiated nuclear strike is extremely unlikely, since the attacking country would be wiped off the face of the earth in a matter of minutes. A terrorist-initiated strike is believable though. But unless it's a mass strike against multiple valuable targets, the world will live on.

You got no proof of that, so we will never know. That just assumptions.

Al Qaeda is/was already supposed to have weapons of mass destruction. Yet we have not found those yet

But nuclear energy keeps evolving like everything, bombs will get stronger. The impact wont affect just some small region in the world and rest will be fine. And its not just the phisical aspect of it, the would change the world completely in other ways.

People are naturally inclined to look down upon other's views in vain of their own. If we could all wholly empathize with one another, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings or conflicts, albeit that would also be dismembering human nature. A difference in viewpoint pertaining to religion is not much different that a differing in perception when dealing with politics, race, gender, or many other aspects of societies.

Nah, war would still be around. But it would be for less crazy reasons.

Well, on thing that's always bugged me, is if philosophy was strictly adopted in lieu of religion, and assumed all of it's "duties" throughout history, would things still be as they are now, albeit with different names?

Well its true that many wars still would have happened without religion. Wars for territory for example, but doesnt that still makes more sense than fighting for something you dont even have proof its true, for something you saw on a book...

Maybe because perceiving something, and believing in it, whether it is tangible or not, makes it exist? How many people would be able to describe Jesus, and how many people could detail the cultural ideologies of all the African tribal conflicts that have occurred?
