And the world with the less population.. That time is very far since from now. :)


I don't think so. If all the doctors of the world vasectomize the 90 % of men

A friend of mine vasectomized himself without any doctor's help

Actually, religions tend to thrive when life in general is crap.

Your right, they often take the role of last-ditch hope then.

I think we all know it's not hardships or luxuries that is playing the biggest role in religiousness vs irreligiousness and theism vs atheism....it's type, quality, and quantity of education.

Why not start this auspicious-work with all the doctors of the world first ?
I don't think they will agree.. loll :)

Why are men afraid of vasectomy?
If they have it, they can have sex all the time without being afraid of impregnating a woman.

Men are supposed to remain with a woman for the rest of their lives. If they have vasectomy , they can have sex with her without condom

If you live in a house, sleep in a bed, have a car in the drive, TV in the living room, computer in the study, electricity, Internet, water, wife, kids, dog, phone, job, then it's easy to say 'god is good.'

Remember that.

Yes, but religion is typically the strongest in the poorest communities. Most of the richer communities of Europe are the least religious only the United States is different.

It's the same here according to the numbers.

If you are asking me.. Why am afraid of vasectomy ?
Than my answer is.. Am not afraid. The only thing I want is that I just want to stand at the LAST if there's any such queue in the world because this isn't my opinion :)

I ask, What's the problem with others if want to stand at the LAST if there's any such queue ? tell me :)

well...good for you. In fact I am sure that if vasectomy was free, the majority of men would want to be the first of the queue.

Oh I'm not saying otherwise. This isn't about the popularity of religion across the poverty line. There could be a single western middle class christian in the whole world and it would still be easier for him to say 'god is good' than the poor folks in crapolaville.

The poor folks have their faith, but their faith is also a struggle for them. Not easy to believe in god when you're starving to death. But it's easy to believe in god when you're stood in front of your wedding buffet.

I think you just described the countries with the highest percentage of atheists. I think this is the exact opposite of the point you are trying to make.

No, because I did not mention percentages or numbers in my original post. I said it was easy to believe in a god, and that god is good when you live a comfortable life. It's easy to be an atheist, too, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make, since atheists don't bang on about how good Darwin is.

I disagree, when you have nothing its easier to have hope in something more than human. It is almost a necessity. Also most religions have take it easier on the poor to the point of providing for them without charge.

That hasn't been the case though at all in the human experience. And it almost seems the opposite. Why? It's more complicated.

From what I've gathered (which isn't much, to be honest) is that places where life is not the greatest (rampent poverty, violence, poor education and healthcare chances) tend to be the most religious. While more industrial nations tend to be more secular/non-religious. One would expect it to be the opposite, no?

Not that there aren't good points in the OP, but still.
