It keeps people ignorant, ignorant people are easier to control.Control to what end? You may as well say that Children's story books are about controlling people, like oh wow!
Controlling by telling them what they can think and do. You cannot have impure thoughts, you must worship god on sunday, etc. More than controlling your life it's controlling your inner most thoughts.Control to what end? You may as well say that Children's story books are about controlling people, like oh wow!
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt bro.WTF..... So much ignorance and intolerance. Once again you all have clearly shown that it's the atheist That are the oppressor. I specifically asked that this not turn into a hate fest. What is really sad is that most of you are Americans.
Its a shame that this what America has become.
Well, interesting conclusion, but again, obviously wrong.Pad the reason atheist don't join the military is Most likely because they are selfish cowards. The only reason your allowed to spew such bullshit is because people fight and die for your rights.

This thread is not about debate. This thread is to simply let the words of Jesus speak for them selves. There is no evil in Jesus. Let his words guide your actions.

hey,,yeah there was a man called jesus, but he wasnt a christian or jew, he was a buddist.
let me explain, in a lot of ancient text, such as the bible and koran to name two have references to this man.
In the buddist religon when a new dila-lama is needed 3 elders are sent to follow a star to guide them to a baby to be selected and taken at the age of seven to be taught the ways of the budda. hence the wise men, hence why there are no account of jesus as a teen in the bible,,he is just an adult when he re appears.
also alot of his teachings or preachs are stolen from buddist pro verbs and just re- worded.
also jesus never died on the cross, he was simply close to death and when they took thing to 'bamb that body in the cave it was more like actual meds and revival herbs to make him better. so he didnt rise again just recovered. crusification as we know it from the romans take a long time to fully kill someone. jesus wasnt on there long enough.
anway as he disappeared there is evidence of a tomb. some where in nepal or tibet around there, are to graves of anicent dila-lama's.
one grave is facing south north,,one east west, which is unusal, anyway these graves have foot imprints cast in bronze of the feet of the dila-lamas. One of these has stange scars on the foot sole which are slighty indented and slight off set. if the feet where crossed they would match to lap over each other if the feet where place as such,,like on the cross.
These are all facts about jesus,, the man who did preach good and helped peolpe. the buddist had a different name for him, but the koran, bible, have him as a saint or 'son of god' when infact he was a buddist preist. buddism being atleast 2,000years older than hinduism,let alone christianity.
umm... buddhism isn't older than hinduism fact.hey,,yeah there was a man called jesus, but he wasnt a christian or jew, he was a buddist.

Organized religion keeps people ignorant to real world facts. You, for instance, don't accept evolution even though a few of us evil atheists have attempted to explain it to you. It's real, it happens, yet you refuse to acknowledge it. Same thing most likely goes for the big bang and any other scientific theory that conflicts with the beliefs organized religion has instilled into you. And there are millions of others just like you. I come into contact with some of them on a daily basis and it blows my mind how absolutely stupid some people can be and still be able to function as a part of society.
America has become what it is today because of organized religion and the unintended, yes, but that doesn't make it any less damaging, consequences people like you refuse to accept. Our population is retarded because parents pull their kids out of science class when evolution gets brought up, they don't want them to hear the facts because their authority could come into question. Because kids spend 5 hours a day in front of a tv instead of actually being raised by their parents because parents in our society don't have the time to spend teaching and raising their kids and also making a living to support them and put food on the table all at the same time.
How you don't see that Christianity specifically has stifled progress in our country since it's creation is beyond me. You're fuckin' blind crackerboy.
Well, interesting conclusion, but again, obviously wrong.
Anyone who goes off to fight and die for a country who lies to them is a mindless drone who deserves everything they get on the battlefield.
The reason atheists don't join the military in the numbers believers do is because we only have ONE life and it would be a waste to die for something or someone you can't even see and have never even met because society says it's the ''honorable'' thing to do. Fuck society. Fuck anyone right in their arrogant self righteous mouth who thinks that way. Go ahead and believe it, it doesn't make you any less dead in the end.
Edit: Also got a kick out of the irony of you believing it to be selfish to NOT go off into foreign lands and murder other people... so selfish indeed! (idiot!)
yeah sorry,, just reading my book on anicent reilgons,,,,your right sorry bout that im quite high,, no excuse though.umm... buddhism isn't older than hinduism fact.
Faith: 1. strong or unshakeable belief in something, esp without proof or evidenceurr not all religons require ignorance. faith is not ignorance, and did a great man not once say, Ignorance is Bliss.?

Faith is belief without the evidence to justify it.urr not all religons require ignorance. faith is not ignorance, and did a great man not once say, Ignorance is Bliss.?

I'd love to hear any objections you have.I really object over that comment about anyone who dies for a country that lies to them,, that is utter BS, you really dont know what those men and women have scarificed for.
ROFL! Sudan? Rwanda? Bosnia? Somalia?...Is it wrong to remove a man who commits genocide?

hell this this giong on abit,,, I really cant be asssed arguing anymore ,, WE ALL HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO.Faith is belief without the evidence to justify it.
If you believe anything without the evidence to justify that belief, you are ignorant.
Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is slavery. Stupid people feel comfortable with a lie. I'm here to tell those people the truth is always more comforting, no matter how scary it may seem because it is what's real.

Those men and women have sacrificed their mobility, future and, in a lot of instances, their lives... but it wasn't for me or for my freedoms. That is a line of propaganda they feed you to make you feel all patriotic. They get paid, just like any other job, people in the military wouldn't do it for free, and the recruitment rates wouldn't be nearly as high as they are without all the government incentives.
ROFL! Sudan? Rwanda? Bosnia? Somalia?...
Since when is it our responsibility to police the world?
