That's nonsense. If one can become religious or a believer, then logically one can become non-religous or nonbeliever. Unless you're suggesting one is forced to remain religious/believer, which flies in the face of the concept of free will.
...The 30 Years’ War in Europe killed 1/3 of the entire population on the continent. At the end of the war, there were only 800 people left living in the city of Berlin.
...bottom line, are you in the Book of Life? or just drifting along with no hope like our Fake Atheists traveling up hades creek?
well---yeah, we obviously kill each other. I mean, even my little town had a murder 25 years ago-----what's your point?? No one can stop murder.
?? so?? A whole family died near me from a disaster. That's 100% of that group. Next??
And you think I'm the one who is lost? Wow. The truth did set me free decades ago, there are no gods no matter what the nuns and priests were trying to shove down my throat and insist I believe the bullshit or I'm going to hell. How stupid. White folks in the south were taught slavery was a-ok, even the supreme court agreed. Why did you loving God allow this to happen. Don't tell me cause I already know, free will, correct? More stupid cartoons.
I have, and it does. I have learned that Christianity is a very mixed hodge podge of ideas derived out of all sorts of pre-existing cultural influences, including Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Egyptian religions, Mithraism, Greco-Roman mystery cults, Platonism, Stoicism, etc, etc... Each of those in turn is a hodge podge of ideas and religions existing before them. But when you really study this stuff, you realize none of it is anything entirely new that comes out of nowhere in some otherworldly realm. It is all very human constructs- we make this stuff up. It obviously serves very important human needs, or at least it used to.
I also hear that the King Hatsepshut version of the Egyptian Book of the Dead is also the definitive version you want to read. Ignore the other versions. They will lead you astray.
I can buy a used soul for a few thousand.
Being religious and being a believer is not the same.
A believer holds a belief in a particular faith or doctrine, while being religious often involves someone who practices and follows the rituals and traditions of a specific religion/goes through the motions...
Agreed, I was speaking in general...
If one makes the assertion for a God or that said God does something, they bear the burden of proof.
...this book still stands NEVER to be refuted.............ever.
Logic says. The burden of proof specifically.
Why would god require proof? No proof there's a God to begin with. You're the one asserting a god. So you're the one who need to provide proof.
It's quite arrogant to presume to know what God wants.
I'm not interested in what some fantasy God wants. It's about what proof you can provide to support your assertions. Which clearly you cannot. Which is also why I have no belief in any god/s.
Circular logic. Which is also a logical fallacy.
