[QUOTE="lo_Pine"][QUOTE="CHOASXIII"]God is not described as a 'concept' by religions. He is always an all knowing all powerful ''being''. People do not worship a 'concept' when they practice religion, they worship this 'being' or 'entity' described in religious texts you can agree with that right? Religion was a necessity for our progress as humans up to this point, but we are sophisticated enough now to ask ourselves if it is still a necessity in the way we know it. Claiming religion was ever a necessity is as ridiculous as claiming God is an actual entity. You have any evidence or references to your claims? Or you trolling? 2000 to 3000 years ago, what would of been a better way to get a large population of uneducated, illiterate peasants basically to want to even contribute to something like a state of Rome or Persia? You use the fear of being punished by the Gods of the religion if you do not conform to its doctrine. Torture, death, and slaughter are ways to instill fear but they can only do so much. That is proven many times in history.God is a concept by which we measure our pain, just imagine no religion...I really wonder if you can.
