Typical human attitude, if it doesn't directly effect me, I don't care. How many people shrugged and said they didn't care back in the day when nazi Germany started conquering its neighbors? Humans are too stupid to survive. Trump has asked multiple times why we can't use nuclear weapons because...
America used to be the land of opportunity. Now its just a mess. I wonder how long it will be before people are actively revolting or fleeing the country. If I lived in Flint Michigan and a child related to me got lead poisoning there'd be hell to pay for someone. Americans just don't have any...
I had an experience once during a stressful part of my life that I attributed to the Biblical God, only because that was all I knew, what I was raised to believe. Later, thinking back on the experience, there was obviously nothing about the experience itself that suggested that it came from a...
There are and have been plenty of people who believed things that were contrary to reality with all their heart and guess what? They didn't change reality. They may have gotten a trip to a mental institution but they didn't change reality. This is one reason I think certain religions are...
I don't remember Adam and Eve losing spirit after disobeying god, you'll have to tell me where I can find that in the bible. In fact, if I remember correctly, the OT doesn't deal much if at all with spirits, souls and afterlives. The new testament does but that was written by authors who were...
Takes a lot less blind faith to believe that ancient stories of some guy in the middle east walked on water and brought dead people back to life are made up stories than to believe those stories are true.
Think about this. If I told you my neighbor Ralph could fly and breath fire you'd dismiss...
??? I never said that you said Hitler was a decent guy. You said that most people are decent folks and I gave my reason for why I think most people are not decent folks. You misunderstood what I said it appears.
I would agree that HUMAN parents should and do love their HUMAN children. The...
I believe Jesus was a cult leader back in the day and after his death others carried the religion on, adding miracles and claims of divinity to attract more followers.
I have little faith in humanity to do the right thing. We repeat the same mistakes over and over and over. If most people were actually "pretty decent folks" the Hitler's and Stalin's of the world would never rise to power in the first place because most people would ignore them and their...
I think the existence of "gods" is possible, but they wouldn't be supernatural in nature. If they exist, they exist according to the rules of nature, like everything else.
What if YOUR religion is a deception authored by malevolent spirits and a mad ideology? I think you should research further and put your experience and bias aside and reconsider your position.
It was clearly explained that Eddi was called evil simply for not believing in Jesus as the Christian did. Does your disbelief in someone else's religion cause them harm? No, they probably don't care one iota what you think.
I've never bought the whole "you need the spirit to understand what bible passages actually mean" argument. Anyone can claim that the spirit helped them interpret the "true" meaning of a scripture only to be contradicted by others who also claim the spirit helped them interpret it as a different...
They protected pedophiles, used child labor for their own gain, laundered money for criminal organizations, didn't speak out when the third reich was running around, sold indulgences (they are greedy aren't they?), are sexist, tortured people, endorsed holy wars and teach people not to use birth...
The Quran is supposed to be the direct word of god as relayed through an angel, to Muhammad, which was then written down by one of Muhammad's followers. Interesting how "god" didn't know how the human reproductive system worked even though he supposedly designed it in the first place. I think it...
I think most of our problems come from humanity being human. In any human society there is going to be injustice, and the elite class looking down on, if not abusing those below them in the social hierarchy.
