Xethuminra 06/08/22 4:54:31 AM #55:	My thinking was along the lines of racism warping a lot of lives, causing murder, and people to not have good opportunities. It hurts international affairs deeply. I wonder if the number of lives lost because of racism and ruined by racism every year is not astronomical. How much does this hinder us? <cite>Xethuminra posted [p:965634887] in You can er...

MrMallard 06/08/22 5:06:20 AM #56:	Cancer is inevitable. Nobody lives forever without their DNA mutating into a mutant zombie mass of infinite growth, it just doesn't happen. Cancer is about as natural as the sun in the sky and the wind in the trees. Racism is some dumb shit that's reinforced by our surroundings, and can absolutely be unlearned. Personal faith, belief in a higher power or an adherence to scripture that makes your life better and puts you on a good path are all good things. I would argue that churches and authority figures that enforce their interpretation of scripture as the word of God are a much bigger issue than religion itself. To eliminate depression, we need to eliminate trauma and mental health stigma. Unless those are addressed by erasing depression, we're only at risk of more extreme mental illnesses. So the clear winner here is Gamefaqs, because racists push a sensationalized anti-religious agenda that's about as radical as the far fringes of religion and it makes people depressed. Also some people get cancer sometimes, and that's not OK. --- People say friends don't destroy one another - what do they know about friends?

Sczoyd 06/08/22 5:42:21 AM #61:	Religion has done a lot of harm in this country alone. It gets weaponized into a tool to control people by corrupt governments, and it's a big reason we have some of the shittiest politicians in the developed world, which ends up hurting people through exploitative healthcare, justice system, education, etc. but I feel like if we got rid of it people would just replace it with their political identities or something, we've seem countless people turn MAGA into their religion already.

Geist des Durcheinan 06/08/22 8:28:53 AM #64:	deoxxys posted... I think its because the only exposure some people have to religion is what they read in news articles that are negative pieces. They dont know about how church communities will volunteer in soup kitchens, donate to the poor, do community service projects like cleaning up trash or planting trees/flowers. Or how going to church or practicing their religion can give someone the will to keep living strong and not give up. Simply being involved in a extracurricular activity such as choir can enrich someones life. These people don't need religion to do any of that. --- "If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which he has inflicted on man, he would kill himself" <cite>Geist des Durcheinan posted [p:965637018] in You can er...

darkbuster 06/08/22 9:20:41 AM #65:	A topic with the option of eradicating religion, & it goes exactly how you'd expect the typical GameFAQs crowd to swing. Religion is more often than not, an excuse; if it weren't an option, those people would most likely come up with something else, which will most likely be racism. Unless it includes all the racist adjacent aspects such as xenophobia & extreme nationalism, racism is just an empty vote. Depression sounds like a good idea on paper, but erasing an entire state of mind, sounds like some weird metaphysical territory that might have unforeseen consequences later, leaving cancer is only safe & impactful answer. --- Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG!

TheOnionKnight 06/08/22 9:39:28 AM #68:	Racism for sure. A lot of religious conflict is actually due to racism (tons of fundamentalist Christian bigotry in the US, for example), so ending racism would wipe that out as well. Cancer and depression suck, but there's hope for a medical treatment for those down the line, whereas racism would require massive cultural upheavals to eradicate, which would be far more difficult to achieve. --- The owls are not what they seem. <cite>TheOnionKnight posted [p:965638104] in You can er...

Jshipp24 06/08/22 10:08:57 AM #70:	Definitely either racism or cancer. People saying racism can be unlearned don't understand just how deep it goes. As our current society stands racism will be here well past any of our lifetimes and beyond. Cancer is obvious and the other two in this current day and age aren't on same level of destructiveness as cancer and racism. As a black man racism going away is just as impossible as religion going away, its not happening. --- This is a signature to draw attention away from the fact that I don't have a signature. <cite>Jshipp24 posted [p:965638608] in You can er...
