I don’t see it happening. There are some people that truly “need” to believe or they can’t manage life. People want to feel as though there is a purpose to life and religion gives that to them. There are times when I was envious of their faith, that they could just let all their cares and worries go and let it be in”god’s hands”, however, I’m too firm of a believer that you have to work for what you want/get and that each person is responsible for their own actions.

Unfortunately not. Perhaps, with an attack from aliens from ‘outer space’ … but that’s not going to happen.. It appears to me that many get bored with reality, so they constantly invent shit to ..liven things up. Others glom on to their crazy aspirations - and they’re off!

Also, with time & experience, I’ve come to realize and recognize what a large portion of humanity has some form of mental or personality disorder.. They’re never content, respectful, or comfortable with life … thus use their often enhanced intellect to deceive. But, they’re all someone’s ‘babies,’ thus protected by a code of humanity that attempts to nurture even the worst among us. Weird part, the most nurturing are the first to be ..eliminated by the sick whims of these misfits & malcontents.

As long as mental illness is shoved to the sidelines of humanity, it will come back at us with a vengeance, often in the form of religion.

There was another article on here the other day which talked about the pre-conditions which allowed society to secularise.

None of my concern.

I think there will always be folks who need the comfort of their delusions, else they can’t cope. I pity them, but it’s their choice.

No, because of the current state of the world the low IQ people are procreating more than the high ones. Also, the college debt of pastors/priests causes them to also want money to help them pay for that expense of theirs.

Personally I think we're in for a major collapse of civilization in the next 200 years and I hate to say it but if that happens religion will come back in full force
