Ask why religion causes so many problems

There"s no way that I have bias considering the fact that believing in god, in which no one can prove he even exists, is extreme bias because after all the the only source for god is a little blank black book. And no god of the bible would use text as a source of communication, the worst form of communication possible. Also extreme bias come from the bible in Deuteronomy 13 especially 9-10 and Deuteronomy 17: 2-5 which says the same thing. "2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant, 3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the un, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, ehold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: 5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die." So if I or anyone else is not to believe in YOUR god we are all to be stoned to death which is the most biased thing perhaps ever stated. "Theoretically, any deity assumed to exist is just assumed to have created the world, or is interactive with humans. Neither of these imply there would be a huge benefit," Oh 100% false and totally opinionated on truly shakey unsubstantiated ground with nothing but tears to sway an empty crowd. So what con is saying is that this god of his is to be completely bankrupt and create, pain, suffering, be completely pig-headed and immoral and allow torturing especially to children in which this god of his knowingly hates. Now this god of his could have easily started out with peace, kindness, care for each other, love, etc. Nah. He chose hate, Your god has freely admitted to having anger, wrath, vengeance, rage, fury, jealousy. Jealousy? What from a supreme deity? Jealousy is nothing more than anger as disguised fear. Even worse is this supposed god of yours passed down those emotions so man could in turn learn to hate with all the baggage that comes along with it that these emotions clearly are that this god drags around with him. Hey god, dump those emotions and how"s about thinking about peace, kindness, love, caring for each other, harmony etc? Nah. So don"t talk to me or anyone about your god"s "implications" because if god is god then he from the start or even now end all the horrific stains of disease, famine, suffering, pain etc. Nah this god of yours loves it that way - even though once again you cannot even prove he exists. Not only that since this god of YOURS has these emotions it clearly means that he is imperfect. Now who in their right stale mind would ---ever--- want to bow down to an inferior supreme deity bile god such as the one you picked from your closet because what else could it be? Strange isn"t it that in comparison that the Inca, many of the native American Indian tribes until your white man greasy sweaty racist pig christian wiped them out, the aborigines, Hindu"s, Gaia Mother Earth, Buddhists etc etc etc they do not practice nor preach nor go to war over their religions, not anywhere close to the evils nor hate that the christians do. Now why is that? And yet according to your god worshiping other gods is considered to be the most evil thing there is, and you should be stoned to death for it. So you follow your lord"s orders and you come on down here and stone me to death. Whatsamatter? You are not going to follow your god"s orders? Why? Why not? "Second: you do not see the opposite currently happening, as religion has bettered morality," Absolutely 100% false. Google "Atheism VS god which is more peaceful" and you will get about 4,820,000 results. And god is the most immoral figure in history. And christ is the most fought over figure in history. And the bible delivers a message of false hope because for a third time, there"s no proof for god even existing. And what educated or intelligent person would ---ever--- want to believe in god or christ anyway? - Why does every intelligent christian disobey christ? - Top 10 reasons why the bible is repulsive - Proving that god"s plan is impossible - Lawrence Krauss How to develop your critical thinking skills - Why Religion is Outdated in the 21st Century - Lawrence Krauss - Richard Carrier debunking christianity - Christopher Hitchens The 10 Commandments - Christopher Hitchens - The True Core of the jesus Myth - Summarizing that god is evil - God: Merciful? Maniac? Mass-Murderer? You also have no free will if you believe in your god. None. - An All Knowing god versus Free Will: The Greatest Religious Contradiction - Free Will With god - How god Favors Evil - Does god allow Free Will? And I have so much more. I haven"t even gotten started. So who should and or ---ever--- want to believe in god? Really? According to what? You how would you know that" "improves self-esteem," That"s a false sense of self worth. do I have to mention for a FORTH time god is unproved? Really? According to what does god and christ prevents suicide? Um wellll not exactly, only through utter fakery and fear and there"s really no testing or demonstration to see if it even works but regardless Matt Dillahunty is 100% correct here and naturally you cannot provide any sources because its a load of B.S. and you know it" One more of those and this debate ends. "If you found out today that I went to hell, would you be sad? Yes. And if there"s no sadness in heaven does that mean that when you get to heaven that you stop caring about me, does that mean, would that still be you? Would there ever be a you that doesn"t care about me? Yeah see "that I"m not a theologian" is an admission of defeat. Because what they are doing is saying "I believe something but I really don"t understand it and I"m not really comfortable with it and I don"t need to be an expert in it" even though if this were true it could be the single most important thing anybody could understand. Because all of the life becomes ---nothing--- if you were to spend an eternity somewhere. That would have to be the most important thing. There"s reasons why churches, catholic churches have declared suicide to be a mortal sin is because they recognize the doctrines they are teaching, the natural progression, if there was no prohibition would be for people to kill themselves right now. "I walked out of the confessional. I"m right with god. Let me just off myself right now because that"s just going to get me there." So they have to put a prohibition in ah that suicide is going to send you straight to hell. Cause if you kill yourself you cannot keep donating to the church." Matt Dillahunty . "For example, there is growing evidence that the delusion"" that word of delusion was a link that obviously didn"t work in RD1, so here it is now" http://godisimaginary.com... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...... -> "review study of ALL SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE" Well no its not. Not even close. Did you even read it? And a lot of it was correlated with mental ill-health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...... -> "The relationship between religiosity and mental health has been a perennial source of controversy." Gee I cannot possibly understand what that means. You are not doing so well. "Point being: the vast majority of scientific literature agrees that religion has a positive effect on mental health and social function." Well that"s an impossibility considering the fact that not one god from any religion has yet to be proved. You seem to forget that there are no tests, no demonstrations for any god. Another thing you can do is google "atheists helps mortality". See here"s the problem that you have is your one sided on tracked bible. And that"s not good for anybody. . OK you named 3. But what are their backgrounds to pull something together like that? And I pointed out several ways to debunk christianity so it leaves you blank. You cannot debunk atheism because after all there's no book on atheism. Something else for tag not one war that has been fought for the mere sake of atheism where religious wars are fought in the name of religion all the time. Yes sources are endless, so are mine. But its not by any means a standoff/ stalemate. Because since religion is all based on faith. Faith is not evidence nor truth of any kind" "Why would you believe anything on faith? Faith isn"t a pathway to truth. Every religion has some sort of faith. If faith is your pathway you can"t distinguish between christianity, Hinduism, judaism, any of these others. How is it that you use ---reason--- in every of the other endeavor in your life and then when it comes to the ultimate truth, the most important truth your"re saying that faith is required and how is that supposed to reflect on a god? What kind of a god requires faith instead of evidence? Matt Dillahunty "Faith is the reason people give when they don"t have evidence." Matt Dillahunty "Faith can be very very dangerous, and deliberately to implant it into the vulnerable mind of an innocent child is a grievous wrong." Richard Dawkins
