fahrquad Posted May 7, 2019 Report Posted May 7, 2019 Perhaps an experiment to prove one way or another might be to indoctrinate some young impressionable people into an arbitrary religion and tell them to go and murder a group of people that don't believe in their religion. If they went ahead and killed, would that be proof one way or another, that religion can be used to control people. ie Holy Jihad, Holy War, Crusades etc. are examples of religion controlling peoples lives, and people using their religion to destroy the lives of others. Was any part of any of the old testament based religions written by women. Did any writer in any of the old testament based religions ever treat women as equals. Does Islam, the Catholic Church etc treat women as equals. There were quite a number of dead as a result of the Crusades. "It is estimated that 1.7 million people died in total. And this is all at a time in which the world population was approximately 300 million — less than 5 percent its current total." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/was-obama-right-about-the-crusades-and-islamic-extremism-analysis/2015/02/06/3670628a-ae46-11e4-8876-460b1144cbc1_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.487b7 Contact between Europe and Asia resulting from the Crusades spread Yersinia Pestis, otherwise known as the Bubonic Plague, which killed 50 million or 60% of the population of Europe. https://www.historytoday.com/archive/black-death-greatest-catastrophe-everhttps://www.historycrunch.com/causes-of-the-black-death.html#/ Quote
Dubbelosix Posted May 7, 2019 Report Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Yeah man, we are all one with the universe. Absolutely. The man is not separate from a universe, we are subsystems with a special condition - a self reflecting organism which is more or less, a universe wishing to express itself in all forms of life. In way, we are the universe observing itself. This holistic nature, could be seen in terms of entanglement. Edited May 7, 2019 by Dubbelosix Quote
