Evidenceist
@evidenceist
Dad, Engineer, Anti religion. Evidence based 'believer'. Demand evidence before accepting a claim! Reason & Empathy, that's all we need to be good people; no gods necessary, especially those spoken and written by man only. Oops, that's all of them!
THEISM does much more harm than good. Whatever good you may claim it does, it has been replicated and augmented WITHOUT theism, and thus, without all the stupid sociopathy injected by Iron Age ignorant & sociopathic writers somewhere in Mesopotamia. NOTE: GOODNESS works in non-mysterious ways.
He's no presidential material in the vertebrate world. He would have good chances though if he ran for president for banana slugs.
Good! 🙌 Not abt u, it's abt xtians on the fence that may read this. Theism is horrible for societies. Read history. "What I'm asking you to entertain is that there's nothing that we need to believe of insufficient evidence in order to have deeply spiritual & ethical lives." - Sam Harris
I read the same book, the WHOLE book, 3 semesters, a requisite at a Jesuit university. By the time we got to Leviticus I was an atheist. It's simply the word of men. Ignorant, stupid, racist, misogynist, homophobic & cruel af Iron Aged men. It reads so, IN CONTEXT, historically & linguistically.
Reply not for u, Rose; I know u r hiding in your mental room & 🔒 the door like any xtian who wants to blindly believe; lack of evidence b damned. It's 4 xtians on their way out. Kids do the same w 🧑🎄: "But the bike is exactly what I asked Santa in my letter". "The card said: from SANTA?! Duh!".
Ah...WHO wrote what your "Jesus" said? The incredibly powerful but, incredibly mute & invisible, god? MEN. WHO told u the writers were inspired by gods? MEN. Aren't u following what men wrote all along, so far? Aren't u ignoring the shitty parts that these same men wrote abt what your Jesus said?
And Evangelicals ARE Christians. ALL Christian denominations are Christians. ALL Christians pick & choose what they want & ignore what they don't like from their ignorant & sociopathic men-written bibles, based on their previously held sociopathy. ALL XTIANS DO THIS. THAT'S The fucking problem!
No. The first mistake is the belief that gods exist & that u can have a "relationship" w these thru "your feelings" & telepathy. Fuck the contradiction that an all-powerful being can't speak/write for shit, except thru MEN, 🤦, or just fucking APPEAR, hello! like any other living thing w NO POWERS! 🙄
The @nytimes.com cowardly fellatio POS Trump so they wouldn't be in his psychotic wrath-path. They threw away their spine, didn't support other few but valiant newspapers defending journalism. They contributed to the psychotic rants of this megalomaniac but now complain when the coast seems freer?
And yet ALL theistic religions believe similar bullshit & worse. All theists point to the absurdity of other religions but consider their own "truth". Truth is any god cannot be differentiated from a god that doesn't exist in that ALL can't ever appear, speak or write, though "omnipotent".
He & lots of people on this Xtian (patriarchal) land don't believe that raping a woman is THAT bad, some even think it's their "godly" Right. So are all patriarchal religions created by Iron Age men, who made up their gods in their ignorant, racist, homophobic & rapey image. We can read it & see it!
There are morons that believe this AI picture is true, with people hanging OUT of helicopters and in every branch of every tree sitting like monkeys. Sure.
Combating MISOGYNY but not RELIGION, It's like moving in a rocking chair; you're moving, but you're not going anywhere.
SADISM is a necessary LEARNED behavior in man-made religions in order to carry out their irrational learned hateful beliefs like racism, MISOGYNY, homophobia, warmongering & genocide. All Abrahamic religions teach you this shit. Its sociopathy is only curbed in some countries by layman's morality.
That's what FAITH is, stupidity, on purpose, blind belief, as a good thing! It is indeed the glorification of stupidity. DOUBT is the virtue.
It's not stupidity per se. It's LEARNED hatred. Unreasonable (irrational) hatred. Some are stupid, sure. But, they were TAUGHT 2b: RACIST MISOGYNIST HOMOPHOBIC & CRUEL as strength They were taught to disengage Reason & Empathy as if it were a good thing. That's what Religion does thru "faith".
Accuse the enemy of that which you are guilty of... From the shitty Nazi propaganda handbook. Shocking...🙄 FUCK PUTIN!
Donald Fucking Trump, a stupid, child rapist, wild raccoons crawling around his syphilis-infected brain dumbshit, says the expected delusional dumbest fucking things. Fuck him and fuck those greedy motherfuckig Guardians Of Pedophiles who support his pedophilic & treasonous shitty ass.
Propaganda doesn't work on people raised to reason, question authority, critical thinking, doubt, follow the evidence, honor inquiry & empathy. But it works on people raised to obey w/out question, to believe that blind-belief is a "virtue". Well, FAITH (blind belief) squashes empathy & reason.
INDOCTRINATION, rather. MAGA was raised believing in the white supremacy delusion, supported by their Xtianity, which is supported by millions of people 🌎. "Their 'version' of Xtianity is perverted." While there are sanitized versions, they all still support blind-belief in the WORD OF MAN.
Explanation: Ignorance & Racism. Homophobia & Misogyny. LEARNED!! Learned from who? RELIGION! CHRISTIANITY in our case. It's in their "holy" man-made books. IN CONTEXT!! Yes, they meant that shit. THAT'S the fucking problem. It's also the fucking problem in other authoritarian countries.
"Self-defense" like when Trump slapped in "self-defense" the 13 year old girl who bit his mushroom in self defense after he forced her to fellatio him? "Self-defense" like that? It sounds like that kind of "self-defense" to me.
Yeah, but, religions use gods to fleece morons. It's what they do. It's why they exist. If gods existed religions wouldn't exist. Why would powerful gods need men to speak & write for Them when They could easily speak & write for Themselves? Men invented gods, in their image, to fleece sheeple.
U noticed how these powerful gods "make it rain" but only during the rainy season? How "He" sends destructive hurricanes when "He" gets pissed at the gays but only during the regular hurricane season? Or a sandstorm but only in places where this can happen and only during their normal season?
Those who make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire
