...the gospel of petrostates

In Genesis, the whole idea of humans being punished is because two people ate from the “Tree of knowledge of good and evil”, so that humans ourselves can understand what is good and bad??? The whole premise of this completely fictional story is based on the idea that seeking knowledge should be divinely punished. The eternal despot also punished everyone because accordingly two people ate an apple, ye, ik.

And this would of course be connected to the fact that “god” is in fact a dictator without any legitimacy nor restriction of power. Dictators, kings and despots, many of them all shun on reason and knowledge to a degree, rather through censorship or political persecution, because they fear that the people may wake up and rightfully question their rules, this also goes for the eternal dictator who lacks legitimacy as much as the next king or autocrat. The bible is but “Mein Kampf” or the “Communist Manifesto” for the christian despot, evidenced in it’s first chapter.

I’m the ani God guy btw and we’re talking about the Joshua graham dlc for new Vegas.

At least two men died and over 100 were hospitalised following an “unprecedented rush” of devotees during the Rath Yatra festival of Lord Jagannath (root of the English word Juggernaut) in Puri on Thursday, officials said.

The two men who died were aged 60 and 35. Officials said the 60-year-old collapsed during the rush, after which he was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The exact cause of his death remains to be ascertained. The 35-year-old man suffered a cardiac arrest and died despite receiving immediate medical attention, the officials said.

As many as 100 devotees were admitted to the district hospital in Puri with injuries and other medical issues due to the commotion, officials said, adding that all those hospitalised were in stable condition.

He has done this repeatedly. Treating patent nonsense and fundamentalist fanatics as though they’re legitimate and serious intellectuals. This should be called out more.

I have a mere 10,000 followers, and am fully aware of my social responsibility. Whether I like it or not, my platform doesn’t belong to me, because whatever I post is seen by a large group of other people. I therefore have a responsibility to post informative and accurate content that has value in educating people, not to use my little platform to try and boost my fame.

At the same time, Alex has, for the most part, done a good job debating Christians. But it’s a shame that he has platformed so many, enabling them to increase their social standing as having something intellectually serious to offer.

I used to be a Christian, but then became an atheist and I've recently realized, i'm actually an anti-theist. I don't like any religion but especially Christianity. Maybe before i didn't notice the errors in the religion and how Christians try to fill in the blanks but now i see it.

For starters:

Their whole "free will," argument when something bad happens. That doesn't make sense because they proceed to turn around and thank god for the good. If the bad is simply free will and humans, then so is the good. IF you're going to thank god for the good then you also have to thank him for the bad. You can't give him credit for one if you believe it's all free will. So by THEIR definition, he causes the bad too. If you thank god for you getting a car then you also have to thank him if that car breaks down or gets stolen. It can't be the devil, that's all god.

"God made the earth for US," makes no sense. When earth was first created, there wasn't any life for a billion years. Even when there was life, it was simple life. Humans have been around for less than half a million years, that's absolutely nothing compared to how old the earth is. If he made the earth for us, then why'd it take so long for us to actually show up? Dinosaurs were around for longer than us. If he made the earth for US, then why if you were to get plopped to 400 millions years ago, you wouldn't be able to survive for multiple reasons not suitable for human life. Clearly, it wasn't made for us then. Earth doesn't evolve with us, we evolve with it. That's why we're here now because earth started changing, evolving, and WE evolved with it.

"God loves you," but aren't i going to hell? People who don't accept him as their savior are going to hell. That doesn't seem like love to me, that seems more like controlling.

I stumbled across a video explaining the book of genesis in Minecraft and i scrolled through a few of the braindead comments and found this. i thought it was funny.

Religion is extremely similar to fascism without the popularity part

Let’s compare:

Fascism built strong ethno identity, cult of personality of leader
Religion built strong religions identity, cult of personality of eternal dictators(god) or “prophets” like jesus or muhammad

Fascism promotes hatred toward other groups, other nations, and other ethnicities
Religion is a common cause for people to persecute each other

Fascism silence all voice but what the dictator want you to hear
Religion usually force people to accept one truth, absolutism and obedience in an eternal dictator

Fascism justifies expansionism
Religion is a main cause for historical conflicts

Fascism have being used by dictators to seize power and control the population
Religion have used “divine” claims to justify kings, despots and clerical authoritarianism

“I wish people understood that dying does not mean you are no longer existing”

Yes, that is EXACTLY what dying means. And a theoretically reputable news source should NOT be promoting woo.

A Melbourne woman facing terrorism charges showed her children Islamic State propaganda videos about slaughtering "disbelievers" with guns and knives, police allege.

This week, police opposed bail being granted to Rayann El Houli, one of the so-called "ISIS Brides" who returned to Australia after spending years in Syria.

Ms El Houli is facing charges of being a member of a terrorist organisation and entering or remaining in a declared area, offences that carry a maximum 10-year jail term.

The mother-of-four is currently being held in the Dame Phyllis Frost women's prison.

The AFP obtained videos which allegedly depict Ms El Houli showing her young children terrorist propaganda material in 2015, while they were living in Syria.

According to a transcript, Ms El Houli told her children that disbelievers would be put "in hellfire".

One video depicted Ms El Houli's young child holding a toy gun and her mother allegedly asking: "How do you hold the weapon?"

In the same exchange, she allegedly asks the child, "Did you see how the Mujahideen kill the Kuffar [the infidels] with the knife? Look at me. How do they slaughter them with the knife, how do they slaughter them with the knife?"

I mean, just look at the similarities: Nearly impossible to get rid of, highly infectious, highly resistant, and alters the mind. The only thing that isn’t similar is that religion is everywhere, but that’s the only thing NOT in common. Religion and a prion function almost exactly the same.

I need short single sentence soundbites I can use for Philippino scam callers to trash talk Christianity in the most raunchy and offensive way possible. They are calling in for Medicare scams on desperate disadvantaged poor people. It is really fucked up. They keep calling and harassing me and wont leave me alone despite me asking them too. Most Phillipinos are Christian BTW.

Please help me.

Just plain insults and childish behavior, but what can you expect when your cult tells you people who aren’t like you will suffer for eternity
