What invention has caused the most misery?
People have said it before but mine would be religion. Religion makes otherwise good people into monsters. No one knows anything yet everyone thinks their sky daddy is better then the next sky daddy. Most people are too stupid to even read what’s in their own holy books. Religion is unneeded in this day and age. The sooner we throw away these childish things the better.
There are a lot of things about which I've been told that I'm rather judgmental to put it rather mildly, and honestly I think I would still be judgmental about those things if I were an agnostic, or an atheist.
You gonna have some pissed people after you. I don't disagree, but sometimes it is better to keep your opinion to your self
Can I clarify? What all does religion include? Some people consider being athiest a religion. Are you saying everyone should be athiest? Or that nobody should have any views at all, including athiesm? I don't see how the latter is possible.
I don’t agree with you but also don’t disagree. Who are you to say that God doen't exists. I think you’re the blind one to not look around and open your eyes. Where do you think everything comes from? Thin air? There has be a source. That source is God. You can say that whatever you want. Those other religion but Christian is fake. There plenty of evidence for that. Doe I ain’t Christian. I don’t have a “religion” because God isn’t a religion
Your making a logical fallacy. Everything in this world is so intricate that a higher power in this case god must have made it. Logically that would have to mean that god is more intricate and complex. So who made god? Something had to make it since by your own logic it’s so complex that it needs a creator. So was there a super god that made god? then the super god needs a creator. So was there a super super god to make the super god to make the god. And you can go on and on with that fallacy. You say that the other religions but Christian are fake. Why is it that everyone thinks that their magical sky daddy is the right one? They just happened to be born into a family or society that believes in the right one. But all those other people who have just as little proof. they are wrong. Also notice I didn’t say a god can’t or doesn’t exist. See I’m humble enough to say that I don’t believe in a god or gods existence but I can’t know because no one can know. For those answers to where we come from and how everything is how it is. Read a science book. The only difference between us is I believe in one less fairytale than you.
That’s not logic. I gave you these proof so you can atleast open your mind and think about it but God doent expect you to belive him because of ‘proof’, he expects you to trust him. He understands that it’s hard to belive but that’s what he want.
Those other religions, why I say it’s fake because think about the Muslim religion, (which is the closes to the Christianity religion) what kind of God wants you to sin freely? Also, They have no evidence that the Qur'an is inspired and from God. They simply believe it is. Also, they belive that the Bible was changed. This is what Muslims are taught. They have to believe this; otherwise, they would have many problems since they claim Jesus is one of their prophets. If the Bible were NOT corrupted, in their minds, then they would be forced to deal with Jesus' deity, His crucifixion, and His resurrection, all of which they deny. Other example is the Catholic, this religion is also the closes to Christianity. I believed that Catholic religion is just like Christianity but they just don’t go to church as much. Well, I found out I was wrong. There is just so many things they do wrong. In 1 Timothy, it says Jesus is our sole mediator doe, they pray to Mary and Saint. Catholics confesss their sins to a priest instead of going directly to God like the priest has that power. 😒 Only God had that power. Church is supposed to go by the Bible and God’s supposed to decide what to preach about but Catholic add some man-made traditions which is also in the Bible that People who add or take things away from the Bible would be cursed.
The only evidence I can give you is go kneel down and ask him. (With faith because faith is key) like what in Jeremiah says: "And you shall seek me and you shall find me, if you seek for me with all your heart."
Wow. How to deal with your dumpster fire of stupidity. You gave no proof whatsoever that any god exist. God expects me to believe in him with no evidence of his existence? Let’s just change the word god for the tooth fairy. See how much that makes sense. Have you even read the Bible? Cause I have. It’s full of contradictions. Immorality. And confusion. It advocates slavery, rape, and mass murder. The whole concept of hell makes god immoral. Again why out of the four thousand plus religions that are in the world today do you think yours is the right one. You have said a lot without saying much of anything. You have given no proof for the irrational belief in a god. You have no proof because no proof exists.
You want proof? Here are proof that God exist:
The Earth. Earth has perfect distance away from the sun to be not to hot or too cold, perfect size that gives perfect gravity and atmosphere made out of Oxegen and Hydrogen, If the Earth was bigger, we would have way too much gravity and the atmosphere would be just hydrogen like Jupiter, If the Earth was smaller, we would be floating around and there would be no atmosphere at all. And our moon is perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull.
Water. It’s colorless, tasteless, and odorless but we can’t live without it. How there’s a point from freezing to boiling but people can’t seem to think about that.
The human brain. The brain controls everything you do and everything you think. Your brain process more than a million messages a second.
The eye. Your eyes can see seven million colors. It has automatic focusing and handles 1.5 million messages.
Scientist says that the universe began with an enormous exploration of energy and light and that was the start of everything. Steven Weinberg a scientist, said “the universe was about a hundred thousands million degrees Centigrade...and the universe was filled with light” The universe has not always existed. It had a start. what caused that? Scientists have no explanation for the sudden explosion.
Gravity remains consistent, a hot cup of coffee left on a counter will get cold, the earth rotates in the same 24 hours, and the speed of light doesn't change, on earth or in galaxies far from us. How is it that we can identify laws of nature that never change? Why is the universe so... reliable? Not even scientists can explain this. Richard Feynman said “Why nature is mathematical is a mystery...The fact that there are rules at all is a kind of miracle.”
Did you know that in every cell of our bodies there exists a very detailed instruction code, much like a miniature computer program? As you may know, a computer program is made up of ones and zeros, like this: 110010101011000. The way they are arranged tell the computer program what to do. The DNA code in each of our cells is very similar. It's made up of four chemicals that scientists abbreviate as A, T, G, and C. These are arranged in the human cell like this: CGTGTGACTCGCTCCTGAT and so on. There are three billion of these letters in every human cell!! Why is this so amazing? Well how did this information program wind up in each human cell? These are not just chemicals. These are chemicals that instruct, that code in a very detailed way exactly how the person's body should develop. You cannot find instruction, precise information like this, without someone intentionally constructing it.
God wants to be known. He created us with the intention that we would know him. He has surrounded us with evidence of himself and he keeps the question of his existence squarely before us. The underlying reason atheists are bothered by people believing in God is because God is actively pursuing them.
Why Jesus? Look throughout the major world religions and you'll find that Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius and Moses all identified themselves as teachers or prophets. None of them ever claimed to be equal to God but Jesus did. He said God exists and you're looking at him. Though he talked about his Father in heaven, it was not from the position of separation, but of very close union, unique to all humankind. Jesus said that anyone who had seen Him had seen the Father, anyone who believed in him, believed in the Father.
God does not force us to believe in him, though he could. Instead, he has provided sufficient proof of his existence for us to willingly respond to him.
Not really an invention, but I'd get rid of mass production of cane sugar.
Ah the internet, a virtual place where everyone feels they have the right to force their opinions, offend, and engage in verbal barbarism between other users. Yup, I totally agree with you
Also the place where both of you are communicating. Say goodbye to online shopping, quickly looking up info, or any other useful thing you might do on the internet.
What's the big deal with assholes online anyway? Just get off the sites where they are, or ignore them. You don't really have to put up with the bs. Just take the good and leave the bad.
And it's allowed lunatics to communicate with each other on a global scale.
Firearms. Not because I think it will bring peace, but because I miss the old ways of combat. I always wanted to be in the front lines of a medieval melee taking a mace to some guys face, plus it'll make hunting/poaching more difficult. At least give the animals a fighting chance instead of shooting them from half a mile away where they can't see, hear, smell or attack you.
I totally agree with you. I love animals. It would hurt me more than if they kill a human. Also, ever since firearms has been invented, many and many people has been killed.
People have always been killed. Fire"arms" are merely a progression of combustion technology. Do you like to drive your car? Do you like fireworks on the 4th of July? Kiss all of it goodbye. Blame your guilt on something else.
I know, I’m saying they were killed even more. I’m sorry for the mistake, guys 😔
I'm sitting in the driver's seat of my convertible listening to some old ass Michael Jackson in the Safeway parking lot at 3:45 in the morning, and I'm with you!
Gotta get my Ovaltine fix!
I agree about the car alarms. The most annoying sound ever for no reason most of the time.
While I personally have a fear of driving cars, and as of now airplanes are the safest mode of transportation, a lot of the most destructive attacks in the past century up until now might not have been possible without airplanes or some form of air travel. Just to name a few:
Bombs dropped during WWI
The London Blitz
Pearl Harbor
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Agent Orange
9/11
Then again, similar attacks might have occurred without air travel, but it’s extremely ironic considering that The Wright Brothers initially thought the airplane would bring an end to all wars.
I would say religion, but someone already said that. Second choice would be money. I want to go back to the barter and trade system.
Ugh, just one thing? Internet/nuclear weapon/religions/sarin gas/propaganda and many more :)
Sunscreen. I absolutely hate it. Though I hate the sun too. Sunscreen more though.
Everything comes with a set of pros and cons. This comments section really showcases the hypocrisy of people, and how unable some are to properly weigh them against each other. Huge negative impacts for most of these.
I guess kinda. Sorta maybe a little bit if you look at it a certain way...
Well, you have mentioned that your into anal stuff so maybe...
Anyway, women aren't an invention.
I seriously doubt I am gay. I purposely avoid porn with dicks in it. I do think its possible to like anal stimulation as a guy without being gay. If that made you gay, every guy would be gay who has a prostate.
Women are 'invented' by god in a way aren't they? I mean its depends how you interpret it and what you believe.
Women are important. It's just the things they do which the world would be better off without hahahaha.
Just kidding ladies.
They are important because guys like sex, among other things. (Duh) Although I do wish we could reinvent them to be less prude and have higher sex drives so guys can get laid easier.
Women have just as high a sex drive as men. The problem is the men who are disgustingly unattractive and have no idea how to seduce women, not women being prudes.
I strongly disagree. I haven't seen any evidence that women have the same sex drive. Don't take my word for it, psychology today :
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cultural-animal/201012/the-reality-the-male-sex-drive%3Famp&ved=2ahUKEwjytPqkp7zjAhWFUs0KHXuXBHAQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw3QmHuD6FqcftZWf1K3mEp0&cf=1
What does that mean? I just wabt to redesign them to be less prude and have higher sex drives so I can get laid easier.
Eh my mind was in the yaoi gutter for a sec. Anyway, chicks aren't an invention, unless one believes a god made them or something.
:)
I'd probably dis-invent chocolate. That stuff is delicious, but high in sugar and calories. I'd be better off without it. XD
I believe in God, but I don't believe in Adam, and Eve. I think a lot of things in the Old Testament are like mythology. I don't believe that women were put on this Earth to "serve" men. 🙂
Chocolate. Thats an idea! What about evolution 'inventing' women? Or at least making them the way they are.
It's not your place in the Universe to do anything of the sort. Women do not exist to serve you.
Why you taking me so serious on this post? Its funny I just threw the first thing that came to mind out there and now everyone is freaking out. My selfish self would disinvent women and make them easier to get laid with, but my logical self would not actually do that, if presented with the hypothetical choice from the post.
I would love for automation with regard to radio broadcasting in particular to be disinvented. I would love for local radio stations to be required to have live disc jockeys.
In what way, and what type of automation would you not like to see disinvented?
What does automation have to do with how far a radio station can broadcast its signal? Not doubting you, but curious what you mean.
Nothing, I'm not talking about how far a signal can broadcast. I'm saying that I'm not a fan of automation. Radio stations can make announcers prerecord breaks so that the station can save money by not having to have a live disc jockey there so they don't have to pay the talent an hourly wage, and instead just pay them for the time it takes to record the prerecorded breaks.
I majored in radio/television/film in college, and used to work in radio almost twenty years ago. I just don't care for automation, because it means that there will be less jobs, especially less jobs for people who are trying to get started. I don't like automation, because I just prefer for people starting out in radio broadcasting to have the opportunity to start on weekends, or overnights.
I thought you meant robots.
An automation I would like to see disinvented are car alarms. I know it was made for people that tries to steal people cars but no one pays attention to and it’s annoying
