Torture

[akarunway 1]

How far back does it go? To the beginning of mankind I would imagine. So. How do we stop all this needless shit going on in the world? My vote is to abolish any belief in any sort of a god. My thought for the day.>http://www.springfield.k12.il.us/schools/springfield/eliz/Torturepun.html

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

What about all the torture that occurs due to beliefs in a particular government, dominate sex, dominate race, etc...

It would be a start, but certainly not the answer to all torture.

Face it, some people are just sadistic fucks and they get off on it. Trying to get information out of other people is just an excuse.

To some people, not being allowed to believe in what they want would be a form of torture.

Great idea. Lets decide what people believe in. Your idea makes as much sense as telling people they have to believe in a God.

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Stop making babies. All this crap will stop in a little over a hundred years.

That's the best response I've ever heard to the question.

There will always be sick people in the world. Your idea of abolishing belief in any God is just a troll.

I believe that if we are going to survive as a species, and "take our destiny among the stars" or any other dreamy shit like that, we are going to have to mature beyond the superstitious belief in any sort of a god.

The only thing is, we won't be able to do that by "abolishing" it. We should have learned by now that we have never been able to actually and effectively eliminate the target of elimination, and we never will. No, we will have to try to persuade people to be reasonable and rational and give up these silly beliefs of their own volition.

But I think that human nature--the way we are put together--will not allow us to reach that point. We have innate fear, and an innate drive to hate what is different or unfamiliar. Those things will not allow us to cooperate in the ways that would be necessary to really rise above our trials and go forward to enlightenment.
