Debate: True or false. Religion never caused any wars, it was only people
Side: False

In my eyes, theres reasons everything happensI've already shown you how predictable our minds are. Are you so twisted to the point that you find every child who has been torchured, raped and killed had deserved it?How about the starving children in Africa, who were all born into poverty without their choice? Are all of those innocent children who died of starvation dead for a reason? sure its horrible for the child that he has to live with that nightmare forever haunting him, but the past is the past, i know its hard to get over, but you have to look forward, not backwards.How can you get over being killed? How can you get over the traumatic stress, leading many to suicide or to absolute psychosis? You can't just say that in front of these children's faces. There are just some things that are not mentally possible to forget, without leading to deep mental distress. If the child can grow up to help people cope with their problems and deal with the horrid things they have gone through, it probably wouldnt have happened unless he was molested, as bad as that sounds its true.What the actual fuck? There have been cases of these children being murdered, or flat out physically damaged to the point of being a potato. How dare you say "it's true."Or he could turn out to be a serial killer, noone knows.Seriously, what the fuck. Not every damn child that was traumatized was going to be a Hitler, there were even some children who were raped and murdered that were mentally retarded. What the hell were they going to do? Drown people with their drooling?According to the article you say theres no free will, then by that logic you must believe we are being guided by something, that everything we do is planned, so what is it that is planning what we do before we even make the choices that we do? I could go kill someone tomorrow, but im not going to because I do not want to kill people.Learn the science dude.It is all "planned" and wired within our heads, within our biology. Chemicals control how we act and react, and it is our brain which produces these chemicals. By scanning how our brain works, we can understand how people distribute chemicals in their brains- because everyone distributes them differently. I could go kill someone tomorrow, but im not going to because I do not want to kill people.Good for you. The way your brain works prevents it. that article is rubbish, free will exists, if we go by the logic of that article then you have to say that the priest was programmed to molest the little boy, so are you certain you want to go with that logic? Because thats saying that our brains are programmed to do evil things and harm people, which they may be, but you have the power to over ride it, just like the article says: you cant rule out last second free will.You are acting completely irrational. Have you fully read that article? If you have, I suggest you read it again. The proof is right in front of you. The hypothetical priest was not programmed to rape the hypothetical boy. His brain just has an imbalance of chemicals, causing him to act in a aggressive, brazen way, therefore causing him to drop rational thought, and go after the boy. His 'choice' was made predictable by finding out how he acts, by taking a look in his brain, and seeing how frequently he distributes a certain kind of chemical to make him act in such a way.their brain is not wired to harm people, i was born with alot of shit wrong with my brain that should cause me to snap and kill everyone around me because they could be trying to abduct me, take me somewhere, beat me senseless, torture me and leave me to rot in a cell that noone knows the location of.Oh my freaking spaghetti monster. Think deeper.Just because your brain was "messed up" it clearly wasn't messed in the same way of a cereal killer. It takes an issue to make someone feel like killing someone, but it takes a whole lot of different issues to nullify their reluctance, and cause them to act upon that want to kill. I suggest you learn about psychology, before debating about it.But do i freak out? No, its called self control, staying aware of your surroundings and not letting your impulses control your life. Will i regret not killing the person who takes me and tortures me? Possibly, but in my book, noone deserves to die, and if someone does that to me, then i hope they can learn from what they did and see the wrong in their actions.Did you know that there are brain chemicals that control self-control? Did you know that in cereal killers, that chemical is lacking, due to a faulty psychology? If you really want me to go in detail about pre-destination and free will, then i will, but that would be like typing an essay.I just want you to understand how much power psychology has over every aspect of our actions.
