    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    The problem lies here. What do you do about groups who won't keep the peace? You can have 7 billion people working together, but if 1,000 take up arms what's your solution?

    The corona and end time plagues

    Not even close. The Plagues of the past killed up to a third of the people infected by them, the lack of medicines, hygiene, living conditions, etc. If we had carried it to the rest of the world it would have killed them as well. In fact Europeans carried diseases with them as they discovered...

    God’s Method of delivering messages, is it flawed?

    It's entirely logical because of the 100,00s of fake gurus. Naming 8 doesn't change that. In fact, it reinforces it. You have to start from the belief any new messenger is fake and leaves to the new guy to establish his credibility. There are huge gaps in Bahaullah credentials. Some of the...

    God’s Method of delivering messages, is it flawed?

    You can't claim that because 84% of the world is religious they all believe in messengers. The fact is different messenger got different messages at roughly the same time. All modern religions started a few 1,000 years ago.

    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    He was obsessed by Men killing each other in wars and other conflicts. Or are you saying he doesn't want us to stop killing each other?

    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    There is nothing in his writings concerning the above. His only worry was Man killing each other, nothing new in that. His solutions were equally impossible. How do you think they will be accomplished? Don't say a new race of men because it's not happening. I told you the only solution is to...

    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    So what does he say about Climate Change, Populations, consumption, destruction of the Earth's resources?

    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    I would love it if religion would do this. Leave behind the old Millenium troubles of wars and face the new problems we face. Sadly no religion comes close to doing that. Bahaullah thought of one problem, Man warring amongst themselves. He put forward lots of impossible ways to solve the...

    The corona and end time plagues

    The economic impact is terrible for many, but a slow down of consumerism isn't a bad thing except for those now out of a job,

    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    We can judge by what the Messenger says. Not things that were told in the past because they are easily fore filled. What the Messenger says about the future. Bahaullah fails to do that concentrating on problems of the past. Bird123 shows how easy it is to claim a message from god.

    Are Religions and Gods manmade?

    Bahaullah failed to see the problems we face today, so doesn't have a solution. The problems he saw are problems Man has always faced. We didn't start wars in the 19th century which is all he worried about. Coming up with lots of solutions to one problem. Climate change and destruction of the...

    How Are Your Views More Correct Than Another's?

    Agreed each religion comes up with its own set of rules. With some very basic ones that are prevalent in most. Such as do not kill, steal, etc.

    The corona and end time plagues

    In the past, great plagues have saved Man. Imagine a world where they did not happen? 9 billion would be a distant number in the past for the population size, we could be up to 15 billion people. All over-consuming what the Earth has. A great plague will go a long way to solving the problems of...

    How Are Your Views More Correct Than Another's?

    The list of things we banned because society deems them evil is so long I used the word etc to indicate their vastness. Living in a well-organised society requires the imposition of laws, based on the societies values, are imposed on society. Of course, religion is all about imposing one set of...

    How Are Your Views More Correct Than Another's?

    So we allow people to keep believing throwing women onto funeral fires, tearing the hearts out of living people, etc is something we have no business in changing?

    God’s Method of delivering messages, is it flawed?

    So our design is flawed. What does Bahaullah address that will solve the problems I mentioned before solve? Or do you deny they aren't the real problems of today?
  17. PAUL MARKHAM

    God’s Method of delivering messages, is it flawed?

    So Man will become a New Race of Men. That's how evolution works. The problem is the solutions put forward by Bahaullah do nothing to solve the problem we face. That problem is climate change, overpopulation, overconsumption in some countries, and over-exploitation of the Earth's resources.

    God’s Method of delivering messages, is it flawed?

    The existence of fake gurus in the 100,000s makes it logical Bahaullah is just another one.
  19. PAUL MARKHAM

    God’s Method of delivering messages, is it flawed?

    So for 1,000s of years the method of sending messages wasn't working, because Man didn't take them on board. It's all Man's fault because we were designed to not believe.

    What do non-religious people contribute to the world that religious people can't?

    We are discussing science v religion. But you are right everything we produce is from the secular world.
