I'm a student of Theology, to be specific, Catholic Theology, and its become my passion. I have been in a strong and wonderful relationship for over 3 years that even made it through high school; so I must be doing something right, but don't get me wrong-- I screw up plenty. As a spiritual person I have studied the meaning of sex, attraction, human love, etc., and I continually find that its more and more an incredible sign of truth and beauty than I had ever imagined. You'll be surprised with what the Church teaches about sex, its unlike anything you've ever imagined. I also like video games, ping pong, fellowship, family guy, and futurama (returning with new seasons after the release of a movie next year!!!) I guess my goal is to give the best advice possible so that you may one day see the beauty of life that I have found because of an unimaginably good God with the insight from the only place in the world that claims the Fullness of Truth: the Catholic Church.

We don't need religion. Hear me out. If Jesus were to come down from Hevan and say "I am the son of God" and showed us all of is water to wine stuff, scientist could test it and then Christianity would become a science and all other religions would be be proven wrong and therefore not be religions.
That was my little prologue, here is my question Is it possible that our societies have reached a point in which we can admit there is no need for religion and have good morals without a book or God(s) to tell us what they are? (link)

I was having a discussion with a friend one day and he said, " ya know, science is winning." I looked at him asking, "winning what?" For some reason, many people see science and religion in some kind of reality show competing head to head to see which one will come out on top...
"Somehow, the mere fact of social and technological complexity overwhelms the presumptive simplicity of old-fashioned Christianity, as if human beings were ruminating animals without a care in the world before the advent of cellular phones and cable TV."
where does this spirit of competition come from? In fact, faith and reason go hand in hand... that is large reason why religion is still here, becuase it makes sense. The quote was taken from an exrememly good article, which, if you are truly in pursuit of understanding this question, I hope you may take some time to read:
