A massive death/destruction and suffering befall the world where billions of people are wiped out.
Yet, no signs of
1. Jesus.
2. Imam Mahdi.
3. Buddha or other reincarnated buddhist legends.

Or any signs of 'GOD' saving humanity from the suffering/death.
What will happen to all those people who believed externally in a saviour, a messiah, god ?
Will people still hold on, believe their religion/god or whatever?

How many deaths/suffering must happen to wake humanity up that there is no messiah/god as they know it ?
If this is the solution to the world's problems, would it be worth it to have a huge massive kill off to wake up humanity ?

Will it end religion?

I dont see god coming down to earth to stop tsunami and prevent earth quake .

once a buddhist monks told me that religion is merely a tools for leaders and an essential and crucial building blocks of our society. Religion is the only thing that hold our conscience together. Without this conscience & compassion, we are no difference with the dog and cat on the road. And without this two building blocks, it would be a dog eat dog world out there.

heaven? serve as reward beyond grasp
hell? serve as imminent future

QUOTE
His existence is merely for emotion comfort which doesnt change or contribute to anything.
again, the same monk also told me this

QUOTE

there`s no such thing as holy water in buddhism but people insist that I sprinkle tap water with chanting. I know it is not right, but I did it why? to provide emotional comfort


this is what all religios scholars are doing... Priest, monks, Imam etc... providing emotional comfort to people who has met jell in their lifes
