Some humans are good,some humans are bad.We humans have common sense.
What do you think the world would be like now absent the Bible?
 
I would say no different. But it's almost impossible to tell how the world would be without religion. People find will always find reasons to hate each other.

Don't really understand what you're saying here. "Good" and "Evil" in what sense? Are we talking about natural or unnatural good and evil?

Honestly I am not sure it would be much different. I don't really think Religion has anything to do with whether somebody is "good" or "bad". And people will always find something to believe in and share that belief with others. Who knows, maybe people would start worshiping a flying spaghetti monster or something :P

I've never really cared for religion to begin with, and like others said, there probably wouldnt be much change even if there was no such thing as religion

You could use meatballs as his eyes :D
 
In a world absent the Bible would likely be little different save for the increased amount of people motivated to do evil things.
 
Well religion doesn't compel me anyway.
I just can't believe someone parted an entire sea and someone else was nailed to a cross for like 13 or something days and lived.

Well Santa Claus flies from the North Pole every year and fits his fat butt down like 100 billion people's chimney in ONE night, so hey, I guess anything is possible ;)
 
Well, it would be impossible to tell how the world would be exactly, since religion has had such a huge influence on history. If you mean strictly better or worse off, it depends. I could see a decent argument either way. Religion can cause conflict as easily as it can create unity.

This. From a historical perspective, all of European history would probably be very different. I wouldn't be surprised if Europe would have ended up under control of a Muslim Caliph. A common religion firmly united Europe against Islam, and without one, it would have been possible that most of mainland Europe could have been conquered by Muslim armies.

Morally, the world would be different. No better, no worse, just different. Other religions might fill the void left by Christianity, Humanism could become a moral authority of sorts or our morals could just come from general societal trends (as they sometimes do now). Either way, the morals of our society on the whole would likely be different, even if the difference is only slight.

Religion united the invaders just as much as it did the defenders, so without any religion, its quite possible the conflict wouldn't have happened at all.

That's true. I was only addressing the without the Bible part of the question. A world without any major religious texts would be so wildly different that it's basically pointless for anyone to try to speculate about it so I didn't even bother with it. XD
 
Haha yeah, that's what I'm saying. But I think the question wasn't specifically asking what would be different, just whether it would be better or worse off in general

I'll tell you.
Religion in today's world is supposed to be one global orchestra in harmony with God The Father.Sadly,it's way out of tune.
Without religion there would be a lot less church vs. church bull crap.Before I continue,some of you aren't going to like what I say,but it comes from experience.I am in no way saying that any one religion is better or worse than any other.
Several years ago I belonged to the Mormon church,they were super nice people,don't get me wrong,but I can tell you,they had a habit of bashing the Catholics for trying to make Mary bigger than the Messiah.A few Catholics at the chess club I spoke to about this statement a couple responded by saying the the "Book Of Mormon" has no place in this world,only the Bible.
I wouldn't have put it that harshly myself.Through prayer and study,I came to the conclusion that pretty much of the material contained in the Book Of Mormon,is already covered in the Bible.After I left that church,I haven't joined another,because it ticks me off the way so many organizations bash other church's beliefs with the impression that their own church is the right one to attend.THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG CHURCH.(except maybe Satanism,but they who attend,have the right.)
You don't need to belong to any specific religion to believe in God.It's the belief that counts.If someone from another church whose beliefs you can't stand
to even talk about,saved your child from being hit by a car,I ask you,would you even care what church he attends,and it's belief system?So as far as your remark
Faylox,I think things would run much smoother.
I doubt God is a big fan of his own children bashing each other over Him.

Thanks for viewing!
