I was thinking the other day -wohooo finally!!- , no seriously, i was thinking about religion -again!!- and imagined the world in a very weird prospective perspective... like let's say 2~3K years from now, ppl would be looking back at us and calling us the "religion age" like we call the "ice age", where in that ice-age ppl used to believe in what we think are stupid stuff...
Then, in my imaginary far future, ppl will describe our age as the generations that were obsessed about something they created, followed and worshipped for centuries and named it "religion"..... The first image that came to my mind that ppl then would be living peacefully in harmony and would be loving to each other (my typical utopian vision of all times) since they will not have religion and thus will be extremely accepting to each other, will not be judgmental and thus won't have religious wars! -how naive i am to think this way- then I remembered our humanity facts, that humanity is a fucked-up ugly shit, and humans amongst other races do the most disgusting and humiliating things to both human race and other races... So obviously NO.. the world won't be better off without religion (not sure if it's better with it anyways, i can't tell)..
I came to this geeky analogy while thinking, it's like we -humans- are the hardware devices, and religions are the driver software, more like a user manual maybe, there are many versions of this driver software, but they all agree on the same basics and do the same job, which is to drive the plugged hardware to it's best.. BUT..... WHY! why was humanity created to need guidance??? why is it this ugly stinky bullshit?? why do ppl torture other ppl and animals? why do fathers rape daughters? why do ppl fuck animals? why this? why that? why why why?????
WHY aren't we a plug & play race?? like angels maybe.. where we wouldn't need any "driver" or religion to tell us what to do and what's the best for us? why do we need religion to tell us that hurting ppl is not allowed while we feel like hurting them?? why don't we simply NOT feel like hurting them, and NOT need religion?
Then I (as my usual thinking pattern) calmly remembered.... this race (the plug&play race) already exists in religion and is demonstrated in angels.... and we humans are the less advanced race, and we have to accept this fact and work by it, or don't... whatever suits you! meh

I like the idea of the religion age, It's interesting concept.
However I do not think that when someone does hurt another person it's purely driven by religion, even if you are a very religious person I truly cannot imagine a scenario where somebody would go "shit man, if my religion didn't prevent me from doing this, I would so slap you in the face right now".
Although religion encourages friendly conduct I do not believe that people act friendly just cause they have been told so. Similarly, having or lacking religion never really stopped people from hating each other, people from the east would hate the west, tall people would hate short people..etc, we'd always find something to fight about
Plug & Play -even in the rapidly moving PC world- was for a very very long time simply Plug & Pray, maybe the human race just need a little bit more time to become civil.
we r not machines.....and we r not animals...we r something much more complicated.... we have spiritual side beside physical
this means "religion age" is a shallow meaning that is not correct at all.
@StealthMaker: I think that humanity has been given more than enuf time, never changed... humanity by its nature is ugly.. yes i said it, we are ugly, according to what?? to our fake ugliness standards
@a7mad: perhaps, i can't tell
