For mankind.
I mean religion gives people something to believe in but is responsible for a lot of bullshyt.
Race is completely made up for no apparent reason and is a cloudy murky concept in itself.

How is race a made up concept :patrice:
Because it's a social construct by definition, stemming from the human desire to label or categorize. Want some somewhat entertaining examples? Take a look at any thread about a mixed *Black* individual and see people struggle to decide whether the individual is mostly, Black, White, etc. The subject of genetics is a very complicated one. Religion though? :wow:One can't even fathom all of the flagrant things that have occurred as a result of religion.

Doesn't race also tho?

I guess in a way, but if you look at human history, you see a lot of repulsive stuff that people used religion to justify. Terrorism, slavery, genocide, racism, murder etc..

:what:Neither are good answers.
:martin: For one race isn't a made up concept. It's clear physical and deep rooted bilogical differences between most of the non hybridized races. A boxer,poodle and chihuahua aren't all the same. They're all different breeds of dogs. If you treated and fed a chihuahua like a pitbull you'd kill it.
:jbhmm: And about religion contrary to popular belief religion has done just as much good as it's done harm. And it's not the religion, it's the people. If it wasn't for religion algebra, music, architecture, libraries etc. wouldn't exist. Not to mention most of the worlds greatest leaders followed some sort of religion.

:aicmon:The choices should be the concept of class. From class and wealth stems most of the world's problems.
:heh: Or humanities shytty self entitlement to subjugate the earth.

Religion at least goes hand in hand with a bit of culture - Christians and Buddhists will disagree along fairly predictable lines. It's got silliness at its root though, because Christians will also argue with other Christians about their "shared" belief so hard that they occasionally kill each other.

There's no real telling whether two people from different races will agree or disagree about much at all... you need to know their culture.

Race is the silli(er) one IMHO, but they're both pretty silly in 2015.

lets be honest, race is at least tangible. people look different, that shyt is all in nature. so even if it wasnt a social construct (which it is), it would still exist to a degree right?

religion is just :scusthov: a completely made up product that people kill each other over without EVER interacting with the thing theyre so sure exists

imo its between religion or money. but religion was invented to snake people out of money and resources so :patrice:

This is such liberal kumbaya hippy bullshyt..
Race is not a social construct..it exists beyond culture as it is a genetic construct and not social..I swear thecoli sometimes..

Basically youre saying in a perfect world everyone would be blind to clear physical racial differences:rudy:
