Will religion ever come in the form of a pill?

Religion, maybe. Relationship No!\n\nChristianity is a liberating, horizon widening, life giving relationship. Some would say that Christianity is a list of rules but it is not. If you look ay Jesus' words He said that there are only two rules - 1) Love God. 2) Love each other. Simple, eh!\n\nBecoming a Christian is as simple as taking a pill. Three steps in taking a pill; 1) get the pill, 2) take the pill, 3) have a glass of water. Three steps in becomming a Christian; 1) realise that you are a sinner and need a saviour, that you can't save your self, change your mind about sin 2) Realise that Jesus death on the cross paid the penality for your sin so you don't have to, 3) ask Jesus to forgive your sin

I totally agree with you.  Kids today have no religion or God. That means that Satan will take over their spirits and he has.  There is definitely more evil in kids since there is little consequences to their evil deeds.  They have no conscience.  If kids followed the 10 commandments, the USA would be a much better place to live.  I think that all the psychotic drugs kids are on in the schools for ADHD and ADD are one of the direct results of taking God and prayer out of the schools. When I went to school, none of the kids had to take these medications for self-control, etc.

Religion just needs to stay out of politics. Once politics start getting influenced by one sect of religion facing up against another sect. It will most likely lead to civil war.

Not during our lifetime. Not while we still have religious"leaders" who think they know 100% what Buddha, Jesus, whomever said. Not while leaders of countries declare war and follow it immediately by saying "May God Bless......". Not while religions teach that THEIR religion is the ONLY path to God. Not while politicians try to be Religious leaders and religious leaders act like politicians. Not while the answer to children who were abused by Priests is to cover it up instead of helping the victims. \n\nI wish I had a better answer for you.

Dude, your obviously asking the wrong people. Try asking yourself. Logic would destroy religion, but unfortunatly, it probably never will; just look at your answers!!(synfi excluded)

I am a Christian, but I completely agree with the above post. If a drug can prevent cervical cancer it should be used, period. Religious leaders should not even have an opinion about this.

Has been done already..... religion lost.

In some cases, yes. As can be seen with the stem cell debates that started a few years back. \n\nIt isn't just religion though, it is general social standards and responsibilities in general that can determine what is right and what is wrong when it comes to certain research.

Excellent idea but we need a replacement. What do you call it Mental Religion?

Not sure if there will be a next big one...religions as a whole are dying as we become a more enlightened and scientific species...every generation produces more rational thinkers and skeptics who recognize that there is no true religion and that religion has served it's purpose (i.e. run it's course) for humanity...with a little luck, a few millennia from now we'll be all the way there...

Kinda makes religion seem like a bunch of nonsense doesn't it?

Absolutely not.  When we introduce religion into politics, we end up hurting one group of people to make another group happy.  Which religion would be allow a role in politics and which should be not?  Everyone wants it their way, everyone wants their religion to be the one in charge.

Again, good point. Religion is the great distraction...

The pill will not have its full strength.

I'm guessing since we'll know a lot more about where we came from and about the world and science by then, so religion will be much more like buddhism now. It will be more focused around finding inner peace, and truth, and finding happiness within yourself. It will still preach morality like it does today, but I'm guessing that that would be more of the emphasis not really on the Bible or any holy book.

Only through education will we rid ourselves of the virus that is religion.  Ignorance and social acceptance will be the end of us if we don't grow out of this phase.  As you are reading this, overly religious countries are refining nuclear fuel.  It will only be a matter of time until someone sets off a nuclear bomb in the name of their God.  This is our future unless we can outgrow this nonsense!

Religion shaped history but the future belongs to science-the end of organised religion is near.
