if you're a southern ponce maybe
@Deleted User you don't think religion was crafted and warped to control people?
It is.
Some yes
But not all religions are equal. Islam is used for and by pedophiles and slavers. That's why it was created
But I don't see how "thou shalt not steal" is just some evil dictator making up a religion to control people
be kind
@Deleted User thou shall not steal is also in Islam
You might think it's just a cultural difference considering the Abbassid empire fell apart due to infighting.
Muslims, just like Christians, were never truly united.
Even the Holy Roman Empire fell apart after some time.
@Rothguard coneheads are real
The HRE was not holy, not roman, and not an empire
But when you point out examples of human failure, are they actually following the principles of their faith?
If a Christian steals, does it mean his religion commands him to steal?
If a muslims steals, does it mean his religion commands him to steal?
Religion is simply a guideline for morals.
That's literally the only thing I'm saying.
You wouldn't think great men would actually try to make people do right by crafting a religion that helps a society grow and thrive 🤔
Sometimes men do great things.
Fair enough
However. Islam is a shitty religion.
Agreed
Only because of cultural differences. I do believe women deserve rights.
Islam is also inauthentic because of glaring self contradictions
Same with the existence of the judeo-christian god. Omnibenevolence cannot co-exist with omniscience and omnipotence.
If he creates people knowing they are going to hell, why create them?
Also negates the existence of free will.
So i refuse to believe in a god.
People decide to go to hell
But he knowa they are going to hell regardless
Knows*
I don't know about C of C where you came from, but my denomination does not teach predestination
Neither did mine.
And that is why I left the chutch
Church*
I can take the easy way out and say, it's something I can't explain
I read a book on Nihilism.
Neisztche explained a lot, despite being a madman.
