How Can Religion Lose Its Respect / Power? - Page 10 - Religion, God, and Theology

I'm not sold on the synthetic nitrogen must have premise.

There are some agricultural laws such as ... you can't grow anything on the seventh year. Perhaps this replenishes the soil?

I mean, they did it back in the day...we should be able to do it again.

Believe what you want, the information is out there and I've gave you a starting point. Either way, that's only the start of the reasons it wouldn't work. The number 1 reason for cities has always been safety. People are safer in cities than they are when spread out so far. Giving everyone some land to farm on doesn't abolish crime or criminals.

Like I said, farming is just 1/100th of the reasons this idea wouldn't work. Let alone that you'd have to force everyone to split up land, abandon cities, level forests to create farmland (which in turn destroys the ecosystem), tear down the modern society and it's structures, etc etc etc. Tip of the iceberg.

There are cities in the OT as well, but without a temple, without priesthoods, and a very small government as there are no taxes except providing for feasts, I don't really know how that's going to play out.

At the end of the day, I trust the law.

I'll assume you don't understand human nature, or have a grasp on why cities formed? Wolfs hunt in packs. I'm out of time. Good luck figuring it out.

Trust the law? Trust what the bible says or the actual law, which would exist in magical farmland?

Also, courthouses with lawyers trying 10,000 plus laws today, wouldn't exist.

There were stiff penalties against false accusations (?)/witnesses (for sure), such as false witnesses received the penalty they were hoping against the accused. So overall, less legal clutter and smaller cities I'd imagine.

You can clearly see some of these principals remain (even though they break their oaths all the time) and that these peoples (Saxon's) have risen to be the greatest in the world (check immigration flow charts, foreigners agree). So idk, it looks like it has some merit to me.

It mattered when people would crusade around Europe killing heathens. I'm done talking with you, we live in two different centuries.

Fair enough. I think there are only about...idk.. 200k in the world who would agree with me.

There might be a few mill who are aware of the origin of law, the balanced law, the true law; but most of them are exploiting people who veer from it.
