  • What an original post that you've thought up here...

  • That's the thing though, all religions are control schemes. Christianity especially. It has nothing to do with being moral and everything to do with being obedient to a particular authority. The core of the faith is authoritarianism, not any branch of morality.

  • My response;

    How do you handle death being the end?

    It's something of a relief to me. I won't be around to worry about projects left incomplete or things not done once I am gone. The sense that there is some great finality to the presentation that is my life is nice now that I've gotten over being told there would be otherwise as a child.

    Seriously, what's the point in living?

    I don't know about you but I enjoy what I do and further enjoy it when it's helpful. Books, movies, video games... most things, really, end. People still enjoy them and I'm treating life the same way. I'm enjoying mine while it lasts.

    Why be good if there is no Hell?

    I don't get off on other people's suffering and to the best of my understanding, including some understanding of computer models, cooperation works better than trying to cheat everyone. So, I'm good because it's the sensible course of action. I don't need a negative incentive when there's already positive ones and all of this being on top of Humans being a social species such that most of us can share in the joy of others, especially if we have contributed to it.

    You seriously don't understand God.

    Well, if he's got the powers you describe him as having then he doesn't want me to understand. How am I meant to believe in an entity with perfect ability to hide from my perception? If it's so important that I believe in him maybe you should tell him he's won this hide-and-seek game and he can come out now.

  • TBF at least one of those has a known answer, it's just a matter that the problem fundamentally is that those who can meaningfully influence the problem want the problem.

  • No. My statement is that I've yet to receive any kind of response to any inquiry directed toward Jesus while I have never been just wholly ignored by a search engine.

  • How 'bout that I've never gotten no response from Google, or any search engine for that matter, and that is the only result I've gotten from Jesus?

  • atheism@lemmy.world... and you're supporting one religious state because you don't like it's neighboring religious states. I don't see the sense in that.

  • I've literally had people argue to me that the First Amendment only meant that you could pick whichever version of Christianity you preferred but didn't specify any right to non-Christianity at all.

  • When was the last time we had non-Capitalist or non-Christian as options on any level of the selection process? In the two-party duopoly we've had... Vivek Ramaswami with the American Fascist Republican Party for non-Christian and then the closest we've got to non-Capitalist being Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bernie Sander's Social Democracy (which Sanders mislabels as Democratic Socialism).

  • I find it amusing how the argumentation that America is a Christian Nation is wholly reliant on not understanding political terms along with being ignorant of the history and founding documents of the United States. This is so frequently bundled with American supremacism and yet they care so little for the work of the founders or the history of the country.

  • Wow, that priest is astoundingly honest. It's never about proving "heretics" wrong, for the simple reason that they can't in most situations. The mass-murdering institutions only care about sufficiently large massacres that there's no-one left alive who would question them.

  • Honestly, if they are both that dense to believe that a well-known and well established astronomical phenomena is heralding the end of the world as it hasn't for millennia of this happening and that insulting that you would only give a major tip when you believed that the recipient wouldn't be able to enjoy it then they most assuredly deserved the loss.

  • Worse than that, no-one could follow all the commandments of the bible for the pure simplicity that the book of vile darkness has mutually exclusive commands. For example: One cannot kill apostates (Deuteronomy 13:7-12) and not murder (Exodus 20:13). At least in any modern society.
