Is there empirical evidence religion in its current form works?

It is uncomfortable to learn what you thought was the truth all your life is not true, but that is part of growing up. It was a blow when we found out the story of Santa Claus was a myth, and now we are learning the same thing about religion.

Flat world: Just a few hundred years ago, people believed the world was flat, and even when there was good evidence that it was round, most people did not believe it or want to believe it. They did not want to admit they were wrong.

Jesus was a man: We want to believe Jesus was physically more than just a normal man. He was probebely no different than other men physically; he was just more inspired, more connected to the universal mind (Holy Spirit) than other people were. He gave birth to himself spiritually. Like other prophets, he channeled things from beyond the mind. It is not the prophet that is important; it is what passed through the prophet that is important.

Works as what? You're rambling my g

It depends on what you mean by "it works".

If you use religion as a basis for your morality or as a synergizing force within your family, then yea it works.
If you expect God to answer your prayers, I'd say it probably doesn't work.

Is it bringing about the change it claims to? Evidence shows the scientific method, reason and logic is actually what works

They just keep moving the goalposts of what they believe.

All modern christians would be heretics a mere 200 years ago, simply by virtue of the knowledge they now take for granted.

I like how religion automatically becomes synomous with Jesus when there are hundreds of other religions out there lol

Do you mean the supernatural ... because this existence is stranger than you may want to believe?



... I can't believe I'm responding to this dap bait ...

I won't even reply again.

A respect and belief in GAIA has always benefit humanity. Everything else is up for speculation.

absolutely not

religion has zero tangible positive effects, and countless tangible negative effects
