Prayer is offered to a person in two ways: first, as to be fulfilled by him, secondly, as to be obtained through him. On the first way we offer prayer to God alone, since all our prayers ought to be directed to the acquisition of grace and glory, which God alone gives, according to Psalm 83:12, "The Lord will give grace and glory." But in the second way we pray to the saints, whether angels or men, not that God may through them know our petitions, but that our prayers may be effective through their prayers and merits. Hence it is written (Apocalypse 8:4) that "the smoke of the incense," namely "the prayers of the saints ascended up before God." This is also clear from the very style employed by the Church in praying: since we beseech the Blessed Trinity "to have mercy on us," while we ask any of the saints "to pray for us."
The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version
With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company
IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.
Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.
The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.
The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.
The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.
One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.
The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.
Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.
Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Yes I believe the world will likely be a better place. Just listen to "Imagine" by John Lennon.
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
...
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

"I promise, you are in for a shock" That was once only a boolshyt earnings pitch... "I've been cruising this planet for over 60 years. IF God existed he might realize what variety of proof might persuade me of his life… if he desired me to understand it ;) So a ways? Nothing; nada; zilch." I think HE both does not care approximately ME in anyway whatever… OR God is imaginary... I'm going with the latter. I’m one hundred% distinct god is imaginary. If he quite existed he might have determined a option to persuade me he exists. Obviously he hasn't cos simply as surely he does not. If you desired to persuade any person you existed, what lengths might you cross to? Would you drop a couple of significantly ambiguous ‘clues’... OR, introduce your self. Seriously - this has SCAM written far and wide it. And-Or Pretend you had been a few position and also you had been invisible – permit’s say 50% of the population “knew” and “cherished” you – permit’s say you desired the opposite 50% of the population to “realize” and “love” you too… cos you quite do love all of them soooo unconditionally… What lengths might you cross to persuade them? Seriously - this has BOOLSHYT written far and wide it. And-OR “Understand that: Dreams don't seem to be proof. Wishful considering isn't proof. Logical fallacies don't seem to be proof. Personal revelation isn't proof. Illogical conclusions don't seem to be proof. Disproved statements don't seem to be proof. Unsubstantiated claims don't seem to be proof. Hallucinations/delusions don't seem to be proof. Information that's ambiguous isn't proof. The Universe does not care what you feel in. Data that calls for a distinct perception isn't proof. Information that can't be confirmed isn't proof. Information that can't be falsified isn't proof. Experiments with inconclusive outcome don't seem to be proof. Information that's simplest knowable through a privileged few isn't proof. Experiments that don't seem to be and can't be duplicated through others don't seem to be proof. The distinct factor approximately technological know-how is that it does not ask to your religion, simplest your eyes.” ~

I don't think the killing would stop, but at least, atheists don't hold back progress. Technology is the only thing the improves quality of life...not God.

A little too idealized, but I see your point. There will always be conflict somehow...but at least it would hypothetically be over more honest reasons than "we must convert/save/destroy the misguided/heathens/satanspawn."

No, it would all be horrible.
Know why?
No one to pray for you, Sir.
EDIT. Please realize GREED would be rampant. People would replace spritual needs with something else.
