So you think the best solution for humanity is for everyone to believe in your particular deity and then everything will be fine?Nice work if you can get it, eh?How about we discard all "deities" and all other superstitions and myths and try to find some rational methods to guide our way of living?

Monotheism and all the rest of the theisms are based on myth and superstition. They are different flavors of religious belief, and are not based on scientific evidence.You don't agree?Then provide us with empirical evidence for 1) the existence of deities, and 2) the evidence which shows how many deities there are.If you think this is the "best solution for humanity," the basket into which we're to put all our eggs, you better have some good, solid, empirical evidence to back it up.

You have a good point there: myths and superstition would be considered quite differently in anthropology courses. In fact, in such courses the latter term will probably never be used. You don't even see "myths" used much anymore. You are more likely to see "oral narratives" or some such non-biased term instead. So you are correct, they are not the same and I was using loaded terms.But the fact remains that there is no empirical evidence for supernatural deities. That's a problem then. If people individually, in small groups, or in the aggregate, are not responsible for their own destiny then who or what is?I would hesitate to place the future of humanity in the hands of supernatural deities for which there is no empirical evidence. We have had too many deaths over the past tens of thousands of years because "my god says [whatever] and that's the way it's going to be."How about we start to put a premium on rationality instead?It's worth a try for a change, isn't it?

Empirical evidence, scientific method. Same as always.

Your question makes no sense.Please try again with reference to empirical evidence and the scientific method.
