I, personally, haven’t noticed any societal progression as a result of religion. If anyone could provide an example that would be greatly appreciated

Religious conflict is hundreds of thousands of conflicts

Well it was 2 diseases

A wildly unfair comparison

It's like saying 'cancer kills less people every year than the common cold has over the entire history of humanity, so let's stop researching cancer cures'

It's a borderline non-sequitur of an argument

You have @hoyw NASA and other space agencies build rockets to go no where in hopes to further push the sun worshipping religion of the heliocentric model

But what makes it worse is its caused not because of idiogically different beliefs because of the resources that those people held the scramble for Africa is a good example

I wake up and worship the sun, darn they got me

Sun damnit

Religion has always been a motivator for higher spiritual and artistic pursuits

The pyramids were a religious endeavour

and great massacres

As was the sistine chapel

And catholic monks actively preserved and catalogued knowledge before knowledge was being formally preserved by any other bodies

Then allowed scientists access to those archives so that they could develop on the ideas within

I’m chilling. I’m not a sweaty debater I’m along for the ride to finally see the truth in the end when all the lies are finally vanquished. @hoyw

It's weird how it's illegal to suicide but ok to kill a baby

alchwuitze is religious endavour as it contained the worst attributes known to man thanks to an Aryan Hitler cult

Greek and Roman philosophy was also intensely religious, and those schools of thought formed the very foundations of western society

Plato was a religious scholar as much as he was a philosopher

Bruh, have you read into greek philosophy at all?

Epictetus was heavily religious too

And "roman philosophy"? they literally just stole the greeks stuff

Yet it was neglected

>romans just stole the greek stuff

@finny! I’m not gonna read it cuz im lazy but i’m gonna assume it delivers information on religion and societal progression. is my assumption correct?

Hewwo??

Romans heavily developed on greek ideas

They didn't just repackage them

@hoyw reading to much for you?

That's how philosophy works

No wonder you enjoy the slaughter of babies

It's a gradual development of ideas over time

they did they just copied the Greeks conquered some stuff then bummed off and now everyone wants to be rome

Depending on the content of the text

Name a roman philosopher

Did you cheat in biology ;)

It's ok I won't tell
