, including discrimination and segregation in Israel

Think you should read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6584661.stm

So, as the religious loonies of all faiths all over the world are getting into high gear,
how do you rate our chances for a secular society based on humanism and freedom of will?

It seems that after the cold war many civilizations are spinning down the hell of their own fantasy of righteousness, and rationality is not valued as much as it was.

Maybe the superpower that remained should have been the USSR instead of the USA.

Until people are perfectly free to kill other people who bother them, you'll never have freedom of will.

If a person plays his radio too loud, or has a loud party, and someone else doesn't like, then he should be free to shoot the loud bastard dead as a doornail. Until that happens, there is no freedom of will.

All I can say with absolute certainty is what I have seen, and most problems I have seen are from people not knowing or beliving something that is false.

 

And you know all of the truths about all of those issues?

that's what makes Israel a bad place to live

 

Unless you are a Judeofascist or a Christian Phalangist.

 

The article is about Iran, not Israel. That's a different country.

Yet, I remain strangely unsurprised you two managed to confuse them.

 

There are two articles here which can be used for mutual comparison.

 

Hey Avatar, what's "freedom of will?" Isn't that what Hitler had?

 

Triumph des Willens is a good film, but you are, yet again, confused.

 

i wonder how much peacful place the world would have been without religion

 

My guess is not much, because space and resources would still be limited.
Besides I think it would not be possible, because magical thinking is a part of human nature.

 

yea but i think religion is a pain in the ass like women are said to be inferior and so on and i thin kits wrong in all this middle eastern religions how women have to dress i think that if men can drees how we want so can women

 

Unique to humans.

 

?????????

 

"Magical thinking" is unique to humans.

 

so animal's don't do any of that they must have some imagination
