If You Could Change One Thing In Today's World...

I'm in the UK. We have around a 23% Atheist population, and even the 70% of the population that are 'Christian' seem to be generally apathetic in their practice and devotion compared to those in other countries. Though we do have 26 bishops in our House of Lords, thankfully, they're an incrediibly small minority within the government and are mostly just token positions. While it's certainly a good thing for religous groups to get representation, I'd just rather they didn't have a significant effect in legislating for the entirety of the UK based solely on religion.

I agree completely.

I'm UK too, Scotland. I don't particularly have an opinion on Independence really, however the share of taxes being spent in the entire UK is being unfairly spent. I'm all for the Union if taxes are spent fairly, and also charged fairly, but they ain't. 8(point something) percent of the population are in Scotland but we pay 9(point something) percent of the tax for the UK, and most tax is spent in London and the south of England and some in Wales and the north of England, and the least in Scotland. This doesn't make me hate the English, just Westminster.

I remember Dawkins saying that it should be changed from having no bishops in Government at all, to having every politician keep their religious affiliation to themselves. Religious people don't need representation, laws should represent the best for humanity in general. If they have representation, then their religion is taking some priority over non-believers and other religions.
 
Hmm... this is actually a tough question. I have several selfish desires, but one for the entire world is impossible to say. If I could, I would just abolish all religion. It leads to problems. I'm not saying I do not happen to be religious, but the facts are that religion causes more problems than it solves.

Cool, seem to be a lot of like-minded thinkers on this forum :)

Yeah, i mean, i'm all for personal spirituality, but what do organised religions gain from hijacking everything in every person's life? Surely saving their own asses after they've died should be top priority? Then again, a lot of religious people have a superiority complex, the kind of "i've been saved and you haven't, and i'm going to nag and nag and nag until you believe what I believe, nah nah nah naaaahhh nahh!!" thing that they do really peeves me.

Although Buddists, how could I be mad at them? :P They're dogma is to be good, and they actually DO IT! Not to mention re-incarnation, that would just be awesome :D

I'd come back as a virus .......

Well, to be honest, atheists do the same thing, except acting as if they're more intelligent. Atheism is a religion you join if you want to be arrogant, agnosticism is one you join when you do not want to. I also agree with that Buddhism statement.

I agree that many atheists are arrogant, there are some nice ones however.

I'm neither atheist nor religious. Agnostic would be a good term. I'm one of the 99% sure there isn't a God types, because it is highly improbable that there is, however there is always that chance.

My main reason for being 99% sure that there isn't is the all-powerful, all-knowing and omnipresent paradoxes. They basically explain how it is impossible for even a "God" to know everything, be everywhere and be all-powerful, as all of those things are logically impossible.

If that were the case, god would have to have several trillion eyes :P. But I am under the belief that there is a god somewhere, but who knows what it is and what they do. Cause, let's just face it, we won't have an explanation for the creation of the universe in our lifetime. Agnostic theism is what I think this is called.
 
Ohh, I have an official theistic title now :P

Yeah, the Earth could have been seeded by another being, but I just don't believe it is a big massive magical man in the sky. If it was seeded by an outside party, then I believe it could have been placed as microbial, since evoluton is scientific fact now.
 
id change all the assholes into nice respectable folk i hate going out somewhere and being treated like garbage because i asked for some damn sauce

Well, if I could change one thing about my society - I'd make post-secondary education affordable for everyone. If I could change one thing about the world - I'd eradicate animal cruelty because to put it simply, nothing breaks my heart more than animal abuse.

Yes, education is important. Luckily University in Scotland is free, however accommodation etc. is an absolute fortune and does the same financial damage, unless you live in the city where the University is :P

I hate animal cruelty, it's a cause I fight for strongly. Animals have nervous systems, therefore feel pain too, it ain't right.

@tyler seagroves - Yes, i hate those kind of people, there are more of them nowadays than decent folk.

I'm pro-choice, I never understood why people think they can have the audacity to tell someone else what to do with their own body. No individual should have control over another's body, and I feel the same for suicide, and assisted suicide.

Again, and i'm sure A_Wesker123 would agree, anti-abortion is a typically religious issue, barging in upon other people's rights. If it's not your baby, you shouldn't ever have a say in what to do with that foetus.

I agree with suicide... Even though it goes against my religion.

This is the perfect post to point out why religion is wrong and spirituality is OK. Spirituality is following your own morals like you do, whereas religion has rules, and it's "tough luck if you don't like them."

If a God had rules, and can do anything, you think it would be in contact with all of it's creations, and tell them the rules itself.

Pretty much, what my signature says is how I feel.

I agree a lot with your statement. If I had a god before me, I would choose for myself whether their laws were just. If they're not, I'm following myself.

Hehehe, that would also be great :D

Although, i'm pretty sure chocolate is good for you, just not milk chocolate or the kinds that are filled with sugar (in other words, most chocolate :p).

Exactly! But that's the chocolate I'm talking about. :eek:
 
Have all Video Games have One Special Edition or Limited, and Standard in every Country, not just one here for this edition or here for this only edition and have the same release dates not all different ones by months or weeks.

Yeah, that's pretty annoying when one country takes precedence over another. For once though, Europe are getting a better deal than America.
 
If I could change one thing.. well, I think I would end the money and political crisis that's been affecting Europe(and Portugal a lot!)
