    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    Sadly, God is only the God of Jews to me. I have no intention of spending my afterlife in the realm of a god who failed to protect his worshiper, but also condemned them to eliminate their Canaanite kin. If God is truly up there (as in the actual creator with significance), then there will be...

    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    In other Religions, God is dead/ inactive/ don't care after creation, and depicted as being born from nothingness. When you interact with a reflection, you can say you are no longer whole, and in some ways this is mortality. Domination and restricting to one standard in itself, to me at least...

    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    That's the beauty of mortality, it tears down intrinsic purpose, but at the same time reflect the greater reality that is not associated with any characteristics. I do believe in Spirit and existence of God, but the specific deities' legitimacy as the creator on the other hand... There are...

    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    Even with understanding, there is no implication of taking that side. If it does not take the root, it dies, simple as that. Meddling would eventually lead to problem. Perhaps my biggest problem is that since I am mortal, I must lean towards mortality.

    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    It's blind faith, not ability, that is rewarded. As for elite, it's only right to leave lesser to their own devices, which they will only grew or perish. Even with immortality one cannot keep watch forever.

    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    Then they wipe out Canaanite with remaining population assimulated into Jews, the slaughter lead by Moses. Not to mention how Christianity messed up Europe. Jews gets screwed over again with Jesus, another deed caused by God. Also, all three Abrahamic religion still have text of God invading...

    Why Choose of Mediocrity?

    In my book domination/ submission is evil, and God is my devil figure.

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    But both Christianity and Islam are invasive and if Europe didn't get rid of them it would surely devistate the world.

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    I am talking about some people taking hardly impressive feats as omnipotence.

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    If two or more of the same order are formed with different ideals, they will seek to eliminate each other and in that process it will lead to more death than a large number of separate tribes. But then can we rely on everyone to stay peaceful without fear?

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    But in seeking ultimate unification more blood is spilled than during tribal, both in and out of scale.

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    But how does moving a rock make something omnipotent?

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    Don't let an order take over the government and all will be good.

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    If you have a drop of water, it's still water. The same can be said until you get to the ocean, and both the ocean and that drop is still water(of course sea water will kill you due to dehydration), and so is steam, ice and water in gas form. Under the right condition, they can join to become a...

    How reasonable is monotheism, even hypothetically?

    What if we say that everything is a sibgradient of something greater and that variation becomes less the more we know, until we realize at least all we know is part of one thing.

    American Muslims Are Now More Accepting Of Homosexuality Than White Evangelicals

    All Abrahamic religions are evil, but at least Islam is better than Christianity.

    When we reach the point where gods no longer appeared all powerful.

    The opposite of that. Th end goal should be a population that is extremely independent, possibly to a fault so no one can use anyone.

    When we reach the point where gods no longer appeared all powerful.

    Not stupid enough to go against the creator but killing a false god that have plague humanity is well within our power. But a spectacular failure is better than keep fitting religious wars.

    When we reach the point where gods no longer appeared all powerful.

    If we can create a power balance, yes. But the problem is there are people that need to be told what to do and we cannot just eliminate this part of the population not to mention a good number of us actually belongs to this group, we just don't like to admit it. Killing those that cannot decide...

    When we reach the point where gods no longer appeared all powerful.

    Wouldn't the believers get quickly wiped out since that 1 percent can be more powerful than their blessed mortal. And the only way to fight back is to ahieve similar level of power but then nullify thei own need to worship any god. In 200 years we may very well acheive this level of personal...
