Would you choose to be a God of dumb animals?

Exactly. And not in Jesus' image, a topic that causes believers to divide and fall over that's based on racism. Was he white, black, Canaanite, Egyptian etc? It's all noise that makes no lick of difference. The bottom line is Jesus was a Jew who went to synagogue (it's in the Bible), not a Christ-seeker although he could've been a wanderer

If you asked, are people as dumb as animals? I would say yes. People can become depraved like animals, both in their ideas and attitudes towards authority. Happy Passover

Jesus was a breakdancer.

Stop supporting Christianity and a genocidal god.

If you aren't against him, you are for him.

Insert gays and women harmed by homophobic and misogynous religions to this quote. You should get an idea of what you should be doing with the homophobic and misogynous mainstream religions if you live by the golden rule.

Please get back to me with your conclusion.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Sorry, I'm not your lapdog. I won't come running to join your personal army. Yaweh is irrelevant to my life. Drawing me into a for/against battle is irrelevant. I am not part of your private grievance with this God and nowhere did I ever give my support to him. So you can stop making shit up.

You forgot "Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant." :rolleyes:

You sure like taking things out of context ^^
Also the guy you're quoting was a priest, you moron.

He's literally talking about being persecuted AS a priest,
by a non-religious/anti-religious organisation,
and you're using it as an argument against the church?
I love irony

Why not? In the garden you pull the weeds to let the flowers flourish? If we allow the weak and stupid population to grow and they become leaders, we face existential risk.

Does God not ask people to do the right thing even if it were hard?

If you kill the low, how far up the line do you go before you kill the brighter?

They must remain if we are to have a base line for excellence.

It could reach even you.

Not me though. I am way too bright. Right?

Why would you care, given the perfection of the moral tenet?

It applies to all vile factions and fascist religions like Christianity.

I shouldn't have to keep saying this... over and over... but personal attacks are unacceptable in this forum. It is entirely possible to engage in civil discourse with others and respect their right to their own opinions, without trying to assert their inferiority to yourself.
 
On a similar note, I get offended when people talk about the God particle, as if that means something. It sounds like agnosticism (not gnosticism). I mean obviously one can't believe in a divine particle while believing in an Abrahamic religious book because you'd be idolatrous. What's the point of saying this is okay when it's basically just a New Age religious idea?

Maybe I'm missing something here :confused:

Sorry, it was just an assessment of fact

This persons insults everyone who has a different opinion than he does,
so I thought calling him a moron was a given, because it's rather obvious

I have tried multiple times to make this individual see reason with a friendlier tone,
but I can't watch this person insult everyone else who disagrees with him.
He puts opinions in their mouths and then insults them for having said opinions(which they don't even have!).
Once you say "hey the church does SOME good things too", it's "YOU SUPPORT A GENOCIDAL AND HOMOPHOBIC BLA bla bla bla bla fucking bla"

I'll play nice now, but not with this person.
This is fucking Nazi-Germany style level of discussion, and it's pissing me off that this person can roam around this forum and verbally assault everyone who believes in God/any higher power.
Religious people are not the punching bag of third-rate pseudo-philosophers with an anger problem.

I think what I notice quite a bit is people having this idea that God is this being who controls people as much as possible by being aggressive and dominant. My idea of God is of a being who created mankind and now He's not doing anything, as far as I can tell. I've always had this idea of God (thus) I've never even thought of believing in Him. It's always seemed like bullshit to me. Nobody has ever convinced me that God is some domineering figure who created humans. I mean, let's say God created the world

I can accept that if that's all I have to go on. But it still doesn't mean I have to believe in God because He's not my God. He's the god of the Jews

The Christian homophobia and misogyny has been your religions punching women and gays forever.

You want respect? Earn it by condemning the genocidal god you idol worship and the satanic religion you follow.

Play nice and stop abusing women and gays. That is a sin.

You bring up Nazi Germany, I guess to show that Yahweh and St. Hitler are of the same ilk.

Yeah, exactly what my post is talking about.
This dude is a broken vinyl

I'm not going to engage in conversation with this individual anymore,
since it's..well always the same shit, and I got more important things to do, like scratching my ass

Wise that, given that unlike you, I will never stop fighting your kind of evil.

The less activity and the more you do not do apologetics serves my side quite well.

We are winning in killing our vile religions, as the dimmer minds go away. Buy.

Pardon my french, you're such a fool.
My kind of evil? The fuck is that supposed to mean?
I'm not religious, not even close, and I think many religious people are imbeciles. But you're using your anti-religious agenda as some fascist statement, either one agrees with you or you will just not stop spouting this crap over and over like a broken fucking record, absolutely oblivious to the possibility of just accepting the opinions of others.

Live and let live, that's a loaf of bread you should cut a big piece off of, learn to respect other people's views. That's the root of persecution, not some religion, ignorance. You're ignorant as fuck towards people who don't share your views. That's what always caused people to be hunted down, opinions like that. Just let people believe what they believe and shut your fucking trap about it, how about that? Respect others? You got that in you?

You respect the views of those who adore a genocidal god and his vile religion.

Good to see where you morals are. No wonder the following advice from your bible.

1 Timothy 2:11-15​

King James Version​

​

​

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

Stop hating yourself.

As to live and let live. That is an immoral position.
