The Atheist Delusion

marr says...

@cheesemoo

>When I look at how many horrible things have been done in the past in the name of religion, I cannot help but question religion in general.

All people suck to some degree or another. This is one of the truths contained in the Bible. How anyone can kill or hurt or persecute "in the name of God" is beyond me. I have to wonder what crack they are smoking.

I think that if you wanted to destroy something, like the relationship between God and believers, you wouldn't make a frontal assault. You would pull a Trojan horse. You would infiltrate and destroy it from the inside out. I believe the Devil is doing it this way.

>What sort of deity allows these things to be committed in the name of its religion? Do I want to be even remotely associated with such a diety?

Earlier I mentioned that in order to have a true relationship, you have to allow yourself to be hurt. I think that religion is people-created, and people are fallible. I'm 100% positive that God is hurt when people He is trying to love are killed by people He is trying to love.

>If the translation into English is the problem, why not just guide translators to give the meaning you originally intended?

The meaning is there. You have to seek it out. What would be the point of making a rule book? God doesn't want you to follow rules; God wants you to live in a such a way that the rules aren't necessary.


@Farhad2000

You hit the nail on the head. People try to use religion as a way to "puff themselves up" (see the verse at the end). I'm don't like it when I see Christians touting themselves above other people. I mean, what part of "humble yourself" didn't they get. It's right there in the Bible.

What this says to me is this: if I want to know God/Jesus, I can't do it by following the example of other people who are trying to do the same, because inevitably they are fking up. I have to follow the example of Jesus. The only way I can do that is to see what he did, and what he has to say, in the Bible.


@whomever

I see some "I don't believe it because of x y and z." But look at the material. How could you not agree with this:

""
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
""

Surely you cannot say that those statements aren't true. And surely you cannot say that Christians who go around being asses are anywhere near listening to what verses like this have to say. The truth of the matter is, that all Christians fail at being Christ-like. Myself, included. If you want to know God, then you have to forgive, and look past that to Jesus.

Magnetic Man

gluonium says...

oh my shit, not again. how many times do these need to die in the queue? honestly. it's not magnetism, it's not magic, it's not qi gong, it's not suction cup mutations, it's not alien abduction induced superpowers. it's leaning backward and fucking sweaty dirty nasty skin of a fat gut against flat pieces of metal. This is the explanation for the physical phenomenon of coefficient of static friction. read it. ever notice why the 'magnetic body' hoax always seems to only appear in asian cultures? NO CHEST HAIR.
