Number 1 problem in the world today?

[Sweet_Bitch]

My impression is that one main problem causes all others.

Its sort of like how some link the love (or lack) of money as the root of all evil.

I agree, there is one main problem that causes all others and that problem is mankind. We are flawed by nature and born to be sinners. The root of the prolems is our sinful nature and the things that we are driven to do by that nature. So I revise my previous response-the biggest problem in the world is mankind, which is the root cause of all other problems.

Greed is not a problem, the desire for more has led to every breakthrough and innovation the world has ever seen. Somebody saying "I can do this better than you" has created every improvement in man's history. And greed has always motivated that statement.


The answer to this question is so obvious that everyone is overlooking it.

The biggest problem today is a belief in the supernatural. From this flows the belief that some people are "better" than others, which leads to the stratification of societies, wars, and a belief system that, even when "under the surface" remains resident in our leaders and in government.

Governments, problem causers that they are, are that way because their leaders (like most people) cling to a belief in the supernatural.

The supernatural means many things to many people. The Jesus cult, Islam, and Judaism are the big three of monotheism, and Judaism differentiates itself slightly by not seeking coverts and by denying life after death.

Eastern belief systems like Hinduism have enslaved hundreds of millions, and the Buddhist belief in karma is another example of this stupidity.

Almost all violations of human and property rights can be traced to a belief in the supernatural.

Until science proves our origins and discredits the supernatural entirely, man will remain chained to a belief system centered on death; all of them are this way as death is universally seen as some sort of gateway to this supernatural realm.

Save man! Destroy god.

Humanism and relativism are the biggest problems facing the world today

relativism is the sheer absence of reason, which can only be rooted in the supernatural.

humanism is a thought process that looks to develop ethics without a call to the supernatural.

In other words, humanism defines itself as "morality without the supernatural".

Without the idea of the supernatural, there can be no such thing as humanism, or relativism.

Both of these die off when god does.

Actually your response would have made far more sense had I actually included secular as a precursor. Humanism began as nothing more than a different belief in how to achieve human perfection.. They believed in classical training, in opposition to another branch of thought known as the scholastics. Thus is derived the term humanities, which apparently you missed in college
