Religion is the foundation of each and every society. Society does not create religion; meme theory and cultural evolution states that religion creates the society. Religion is the most important single factor on which shape a society will take. You can't remove religion in a society

i don't care

what

what does that have to do with anything?

Extraordinary claims which contradict observed science require extraordinary evidence that proves the empirical observations were wrong for whatever reason

Because religion is the mortar which binds the individual bricks forming the society together into a wall. Religion is not for individuals, it is for the society. Remove the mortar and all you have is a heap of bricks, which will fall at the slightest push. Religion is also the foundation upon which all ethics and all values, the way we relate to our society, the way we relate to other people, the way we relate to strangers and the way we relate to people outside our in-group is built.

I don't care how unbelievable you find Christianity. You need it, or else it will be filled with another religion.

bruh

still appealing to concequences

i have values and ethics without your religion

or any religion

^

God has complete and absolute sovereignty over the universe

prove it

Read Heidegger

no

Again, I have no interest in arguing the merits of Christianity. Your values and ethnics, whether you like it or not, stem from Christianity.

Is this morally correct to you

"So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin.” Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan."

Christianity is kinda gay tbh

I'm telling you that Christianity will be filled with another religion if it dies out

(Judges 21:10-24 NLT)

The passage is too long for me to grab, sorry.

you can beat your slave so long as they don't die within a day or two

You can't replace religion with technology and progress worship

That's a false dichotomy mate

Religion has no evidence

Atheism is, at the vantage point of cultural evolution, a memetic vacuum, an empty ecological niche, which is bound to get filled sooner or later. And it will not get filled by science and rationality, but by some other religion

"So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin.” Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan." @✞ dixiecrat

evolution happened

old testament moment

You don't need to be a hardline progressive to not believe morality is a consequence of religion

yes, you need to cherry pick the good parts out of the bible

duh

Going Atheist is a genetic suicide and means the extinction of family line, usually in two generations. Atheists relate very negatively to breeding. Show me a third generation Atheist and I’ll show you a green mouse. Conversely, religious people breed like rabbits.
