There's so much ignorance and stupidity in this post it's going to be hard to address everything.
@ Beefbisquit: You need to read up on your religions. Humanism is a religion; it seeks to replace God with self. But call it what you want; makes no difference to me.
Humanism is a philosophy,
not a religion. Much like determinism and utilitarianism are philosophies,
not religions. But everyone is entitled to their opinion even if they're wrong; so enjoy yourself.
I guess you think that the "Age of Enlightenment" was the first attempt at rooting God out of humanity. Once again, maybe you should study instead of parroting stupid, non-truthful statements. What was it that Satan offered Eve? It was "enlightenment". People naturally choose enlightenment over God almost every time. They think they are going to get the keys to the universe and learn things that nobody else knows.
"Stupid, non-truthful statements."
I believe you mean, "Stupid, false statements", stupid.
So, during the 100,000-250,000 years you spoke about... if they did not write anything, it appears they were either did not actually exist or they were really dumb because they left no record, no writings, nothing.
No, they didn't write anything down because they didn't have a spoken or written language. They spent most of their time scavenging for food, living short, cold, brutal lives. They definitely existed, we have fossils. Unless of course god put the fossils there to trick us into thinking we're 'enlightened', or some other nonsense.
You're wrong about the other gods being before the Jewish/Christian God; you're assuming you know everything because *perhaps* you read a few chapters in Genesis or something. There are many other books that go all the way back before Noah's flood that gives clear accounts of God's interaction with men.
This is just straight up wrong. If you spent 5 seconds typing in"oldest religion" on google, I wouldn't be wasting my time explaining this to you.
I was a Baptist. Went to church until I was able to figure out that god probably wasn't real, so about age 10.
The Torah was revealed to Moses at Mount Sinai about 1300BCE, Hinduism dates back past 5000BC, and there were Sumerian cultures that existed long before the Hindu cultures. For someone who spouts so much slander about other peoples knowledge; you don't know fuck all, bud.
The Jewish people can trace their entire ancestry all the way back to Adam and Eve; that is a fact and it is born out by DNA evidence. Also, DNA evidence points to one common ancestor in the not too distant past, certainly not over 10,000 years.
I would
love to see where you got this gem from. From
www.carryonchristiansoldiers.com?
Let me try to wrap my head around this....
So Adam fucked Eve, they made a kid. Then he fucked his daughter (or his son fucked his Eve) to make more kids. Then Adam and Eve fucked their grand kids, who also fucked their parents at some point, to make even more kids. And let's not forget the fact that people apparently lived to be 900 years old back then, so Adam was probably fucking his great great great great great great granddaughter at some point. Seems so plausible! I always wondered where the jewish people came from, and now it all makes sense.
So now we have Jewish people (and statistically normal amount of mental disability, which is very strange considering you're suggesting they inbred for a generations and generations)
If crital thinking is allowed to subjugate God's laws and commands, is that a good thing? Thinking you know everything is the most arrogant thing I've ever heard. The Creator that gave us brains certainly intended us to use it, but in the right way.
If critical thinking leads to better treatment of humans, and an overall increase in the quality of life, then fuck yeah critical thinking should totally usurp "god's commands". It's your blind faith that doesn't allow you to see how general happiness, and utility for everyone would be increased without your conviction to an old book of fairy tales.
You really show your ignorance of scripture by saying the Bible says it's ok to rape women. The Bible clearly says that rape is a sin punishable by death.
Nope, wrong again.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
King James Version (KJV)
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
So, if you rape an unengaged woman, you have to pay her father 50 sheckles - marry her - and never divorce her. Who in the fuck would make someone marry their rapist?
Answer: God
Your comments about the scientists just reinforces what I've been saying about religion. What I've been trying to convey (and I guess few have picked up on it) is that religion is toxic. The difference between religion and truly finding God is as different as night and day. Religion is evil. Religion is man inventing God in his own image, setting up his own commandments, his own heirarchy and control systems. This was attempted by Adam and Eve's first son, Cain, and furthered by Nimrod and Seramis at Babel in what today is Iraq.
"Truly finding god", what an ambiguous and useless statement. Every Christian sect thinks they've "truly found god", you're no different, and you have the same amount of evidence to support your claims. Zero.
Slowly the agnostic and atheist population is growing. It's never been as acceptable to be an open atheist/agnostic as it is today, and I'm praying (lol) for a snowball effect.
when I first read this it was 'hopes' for beer but then I corrected myself. And then I thought, 'hmm, still works!'
