Ricky is right i raped and killed all the nuns and children i wanted too which was none im a proud agnostic cant say athiest because i scream jesus fucking christ when im frustrated
This says so well what I believe. When I decided I wasn’t a believer anymore, it was hard bc I had to say good bye to my dad again, knowing I wasn’t going to ever see him or any of the people I loved. I love my life more intentionally now that I realize that this is it. #OneLife2Live
That’s it, enjoy this life. Most religious people want this life to be over with asap so they can go to heaven. That’s what the evangelicals think and why they support Israel so vehemently. They want to keep the holy land safe and in tact so the Rapture can happen as planned.
Arrius Calpurnius Piso created the composite character Jesus in the gospels & played the part in the gospels that he was the main author of. He used the name of his enemy (Yeshua ben Gamaliel) for the name of his messiah, whom he killed, to mock his memory. And, earlier sources for other attributes.
There are so many aspects involved in what makes religion so harmful, toxic & dangerous to society. This is one that few are aware of. Religion is so many bad things; from a legal scam, to psychological warfare & a political tool.
Religion is harmful in many ways. We need to keep educating & informing people of the harm that it does. Biblical texts have been the backbone of Patriarchy. We need to break it once & for all!
I find true atheists have put quite a bit of thought into their views and have adjusted their behaviors accordingly. Most of them are more humane than large numbers of Bible thumpers.
Left religion when realized diff between being good, empathetic, loving, moral person b/c u WANT TO BE vs “trying” to be (but “forgiven” when not🙄) b/c u think invisible God watching over your shoulder. Fear of hell for yourself does NOT =good.
Most hateful ppl I see rn are supposed “Christians”.🤬
As an avowed spiritual agnostic, I’ve always found a scene from Northern Exposure particularly poignant. 2 characters are discussing Christmas trees & one confesses to being an atheist.
The other admits he’s always admired atheists because it must take a lot of faith.
I love this but IMHO the better comment from the coworker, instead of “cuz he has a conscience..” (because a conscience, knowing right from wrong, is said to be proof that God exists by the religious) I would say “because he loves humanity and all living things…” or something like that.
In fact, one could argue the opposite: if you truly believe your life will not end and you’re going to some great place when you die, what’s the motivation to be a decent person and enjoy this life?
Obv people will say they don’t rape and murder b/c they don’t want to go to hell but like what’s the motivation to care about anything in the mundane world?
I believe each person has the right to choose and discuss their own beliefs. The Romans were an inclusive society. When religious people take life &liberty without conscience evil triumphs (tRUMPS). Politicians use fear and hatred to pour corruption down the throats of their soldiers as God watches.
The greatest person who ever lived said, “God is Spirit.”
It’s ridiculous how people spend their whole lives caring so much about being religious, OR NOT BEING RELIGIOUS, and not care at all about being simply aware of all that God must be besides religion.
No more so than what many atheists often misunderstand about people of faith.
Then again most people who call themselves Christians are not even close to being a Christian and Jesus even tells us they have no change to get into heaven.
I will say Christianity shares a shit ton in common with Pagan beliefs, and the King James is a load of bunk so fucking edited by boy fucking self hating monks to justify and empower the church and the nobility that its hard to trust shit in it.
I would not know. I was not there. What I do know from my own life is no history can ever be trusted it is warped and perverted to serve those in power every fucking time. If you can not trust modern history with cameras catching everything how can you trust an ancient written account?
It was a 'closed', tightly controlled environment. No one wrote but those of royal blood. They knew that they were leaving a record of humanity for the future & they took that w/ responsibility. But, they also had to preserve their lives within that privy society; to do that they created illusions.
That is a very good question. You are right to ask these things. The answer that I found is that you can't trust ancient history of a superficial level by just reading & believing. I found ancient authors to be people of genius, rulers living in their own royal society; no one wrote but royalty.
The only way that I was able to make the progress that I have regarding the study of ancient history is having discovered royal authors were using their own language within language, the Royal Language. Others will have to learn that as well.
There IS real history in the New Testament, for example. But, it hasn't been recognized because the authors disguised it. A war was taking place, the Romans surrounded Jerusalem (We have records left in Talmud also). The Jews who suffered & died during the siege were mocked w/ "Fishes & Loaves":
That's a fair question. They are to a degree. All of the texts left to us by ancient authors have some amount of valid/true history; it's in knowing how to unlock it that has been known by only a few. For thousands of years most thought Troy a fictional place, but it was then found & now we know.

Because religious people can't handle the truth that they are only "moral" because they are threatened to be.
Volgens haar redenering laat ze moord en verkrachting achterwege omdát ze gelooft. Dan is haar morele kompas stuk, niet het zijne.

And this is seen in practice as nutjobs actually go around doing this. Sometimes we call it a "Holy War" or "Crusade" when it gets popular enough.
I think I’ll go through life calling myself an “auto mechanic”.
(This is something “atheist” people misunderstand about themselves.)

Ethics and morality are not REALITY.
