Well this is true, and I can't understand the strong reactions for this. All religions were founded by the leaders of ancient civilizations. It is a well known way of making the citizens feel like they belong somewhere, and that they should not move to other, more culturally advanced societies. In short: A scam to keep people from moving away - to ensure taxes for the empire - and to ensure that the people would fight for their empire if necessary.

I mean, if there really was a god or several gods, wouldn't it be logical that they showed themselves and that everyone on this planet worshipped those same gods?

Sorry for drifting off-topic, and if I'm banned for this, so be it. But it was just a reaction for the above posts. Like mentioned earlier in this thread I'm having a hard time understanding that people can be religious in this day and age, when we know so much about our own existance, and know so much about the other 'unexplainable' things that have been integrated into religion since the beginning of civilized behaviour.

You won't be banned. Yours and Dark Hunter's posts are both acceptable, since there's no rule against it.
But what I actualy mind is using such hard words like ''scam''.

Just like you, I don't belive in god (or gods). But again I would state ''I think that religion is not valid and not supported by facts'' instead ''it's a scam''. Just saying the same thing In a diffrent way can make a huge diffrence. I was just concerned that this will turn into a flame thread. But now when I think of it, I have full confidence in moderators and admins they know what they're doing.

Anyway, this is not the thread for this. Maybe we can start a new one? Olav, will you do the honor?
