That was a very dark age indeed. Pero ma-consider pud nato nga dark years what happened only a few decades ago in Russia, China, and even up to now North Korea. We know these countries are not religious.

do you want to incorporate religion to politics?

What do you mean bro?

communism and religion.
lahi jud ni silang duha.

If no religion, still we can be rational as human.. naa mantay sense of right or wrong, reasoning.
mo follow lang ta sa ato conscience, driving force sa atong existence. mas maayo paman gani ang reasoning kaysa religion nga gitudlo, makalibog.

^ But where does our conscience come from bro?

I agree bro. But isn't the belief that there is no God an important aspect of Communism?

I think that we don't have no imagine what the world might be like without religion. The events of recent decades in China and Russia for instance give us a picture of what that world might look like. So, yes, the dark ages were indeed very dark, not because of religion itself but because of its misuse.

Even if we do away with religion, the world will still be very dark because there's something inherently wrong with our nature. Religion, and I mean the Christian worldview, proposes answers to those problems.

what motivates man to believe in something like God/religion?

- is it the promise of an afterlife?
- is it because, having a father figure is kind of comforting?
