ALso Jillete: "The Holocaust proves there is no God"
Really, people dying for thousands of years beforehand didn't count
Out of context, he was arguing in the point that "if god was benevolent"
by the end of the day people have to be taught this stuff in the west as children so they have connection to humanity
God is benevolent, man screwed up by listening to skepticism.
God sure as fuck isn't benevolent.
No benevolent creature kills babies and blames the parents for him killing their babies
God is not the serpent
The whole part of being human is to be connected to something, other than our selves. I think, God is just a vessel. There are many gods. But I think people need to understand that there is evil as well as good.
The serpant was a demon
God is Satan, just gonna say it. Satan has been God the whole time.
Like Terry Pratchett suggested
We don't have hero worship, we just hold Terry Pratchett above God
As we should
No pal @Lios. That is like saying Odin is satan and Loki doesn't exsit
Would Terry Pratchett exist in a Muslim world?
NO
Polytheism is not a fair implement
Polytheism is superior, and not a good matchup
Straight up we are able to compare, contrast, have scientific beliefs, philosophy all evolving, through christianity-
Except for the Roman polytheism... That was incredibly dull.
Well yeah, that's the whole point of religion. Stupid stories to tell people in order to blame things on something and shut people up when they have a problem.
Polytheism is just more creative. Disregard the superior art formed of Christian culture and society, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
@Lios They are parables not stupid stories. Fables are different and are based on fictional characters who are not of this realm
Look there has always been good and bad to everything. There has always been consquences.
Monotheism, on the other hand, is trusting that everything is in control and that the world is bigger than you.
There are a lot of people in this discussion who would prefer to have Christianity be more involved in Europe to keep out the bad
Trusting that everything is in control is just complacency. Complacency is by default an inevitable problem.
Complacency is exploited, clung to, and died grasping.
No, ahving faith through a difficult situation that directly affects you, is what trusting God is for.
@Jake the Exile That is one doctrine of christianity: monotheism that I am trying to insist need to be involved in these discussions. As they do not vote
That's still complacency. Cali punk is coming out; "Fuck this problem, someone fix it"
When you have a self-reliant revolt culture, what does that get you?
If you're successful you become Attila the Hun.
If you fail you're the commies.
It is their choice to not vote. The bible tells you to be careful and be aware that there are two polar forces... good and evil.
"the alternatives to my bad idea are all bad ideas"
A potentially strong and stable society, or a potentially weak and fractured society. Everything gets us that.
We're human, we fail. More often fail.
Christianity is like selling a new smartphone
