religion is singapore's sticky problem

Herzog_Zwei SG

i have not really think about this . i feel that the purpose of promoting atheism is not so much to catch terrorists, though they are definitely related issues...

Besides, the way to spot religious fanatics may have easier way also, though i have not thought about that.

If i were to think now, i think poverty is also a big cause of terrorism.. but some terrorists are from rich background... so for this people, its solution is to have a good education system , really good one, in singapore..

In singapore, some malays go to religious schools, i think it is called madrasahs, for their primary education, these schools have to teach science and maths also, but not as much as the govt primary schools. This is for readers information only.

Not much use for atheism in a multi-religious country. Just remember to respect each others' beliefs.

I beg to differ when you say it is not much use of atheism in a multi-religious country.

Spreading atheism and succesfully convincing people in a multi religious country will definietly and greatly improve many aspects of the country, with catching terrorists only one of the many lists of benefits.

A country who remain mutli religious will not progress so much in terms of science, discovery, economy, solving crimes, happiness level, creativity and good characters of people.

The reason is because and based on the simple premise of truth brings real knowledge so that more knowledge can truly be built and expanded while falsehood build imaginary knowledge which nothing substantial can be discovered and expanded upon.

Hence atheism is only useful for a atheist country and religion is useful for a multi-religious country.

You speak of Atheism as if it''s another religion in its own right.

But then it's scientifically provable.

Nope, Athiesm is a worldview, a philosophy, not a scientific theory. A worldview or philosophy can draw it's arguments from science but science cannot be the basis on which to build a philosophy.

Science tells how the HOW of things, the WHY of things is another thing totally seperate to be argued over.

Don't see how no God could be more scientifically provable than there being a God, though.

I mean, followers of the Bible could also make a whole bunch of arguments on how God can be scientifically proven as well.
