We have to remove the training wheels some day. The sooner the better, IMO.

We will fuck things up - with or without religion. But I would rate our chances of fucking things up less spectacularly and later in time without religion. But when that is gone we will find some other excuse to be twats and to hate each other.

It's God's will.

:oops:
So you are saying that the reason why God created the universe, including millions of years of human and animal suffering, and the extinction of most species, is so that at the end of all of that a select few humans could be with him forever. I see.

+1I have no hopes that humankind will sort itself out .... and we are stuck on this planet, not going to be living on Mars and colonising other systems .
