And that is not what I was advocating.

But whos is to say that a society that doesn't believe in a creator being who demands its worship or who will punish its memebers by roasting them alive for all eternity in hellfire cannot have social norms and manners?

We, as a species, have always regulated our affairs and interactions before organized religions and governments....ok granted, in the past they were so much cruder than today....but why assume that we cannot regulate our affairs without religion?

Why is the alternative a police state? Can civilized members of societies not get along and work for the benefit of ALL?

Sure there will always be malcontents and deviants...but society as a whole CAN function...we have brains Shuaibkazi...and we DO know right from wrong....if we are brought up to love instead of discriminate...I think society CAN function.

But I like this brainstorming exercise...this society can at least live in our imaginations for a brief while....anyone else out there want to throw in some ideas?

Stay Safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
