I find it funny that so many athiests know so much about God and Jesus when they don't believe in them.
Did you find that on Wikipedia? The basis of all your arguments.
lol
And yet they understand religion better than anyone.
Maybe it's a product of knowing too much....rather than not enough.
I find it funny that so many "religious" people go to church and pray and believe in God when they don't know too much about him.
10 pages later I consider it a success. I've filled two days at work with this thread.
Fair enough.
However, there are some who used the predominant religion as a set up for laws that had nothing to do with said religion.
The Code of Hammurabi is one example.
This group of atheists fall right in line with people who think they're smart because they realize wrestling is fake.
They laugh at silly stupid wrestling fans...all the way to the movie theater.
Hammurabi (ruled ca. 1796 BC – 1750 BC) believed that he was chosen by the gods to deliver the law to his people. In the preface to the law code, he states, "Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land."[5]

It's not at all that I'm being Mr. Knowitall. Far from it.
I rebuted Steven's post about how christianity just wants you to live a good and moral life. You agreed with him.
And, that's far from the truth.
In christianity, the focus point is on god and glorifying his as the one and only. The focus is not on the individual, unlike Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.
You obviously didn't know this because you agreed with Steven, just like that estatic guy did.
If you don't know this basic tennant, then you don't know anything about your religion.
Don't get all ass hurt because I pointed that out to you.
And atheist do?
Read the actual code.
Check if it refers to a god, then get back to me.
So why'd she kill herself?it was worth the wait.
This ing killed her son because she said he was going to a better place.
To go to a worse place?
I don't know if you realize this or not but you can still go to heaven even after commiting murder according to most christian sects.
There's a chance in all her nutjobbery that she might not have done that had she not believed he would have in fact been going to a better place. I know its too much for you to ponder. I know you so desperately want religion removed from the story but its the reason she gave and no other. Sometimes you can put your fingers in your ears and hum to magically make things go away.
Well obviously she felt and enternal damnatation was a better alternative to sticking around here...so she obviously didn't have a real high opinion of life....what makes you think that changed where her son was concerned?
I'm not talking about the ones that play chess...I'm talking about the ones that lay around in their own piss and all day long getting infected be sores and waiting for someone to come along and clean it up...someone who hopefully won't take advantage of their helplessness.borrrrrring. How do those guys move the chess peices anyway. Sounds like work.
You'll know exactly what I am talking about someday...unless you're one of the lucky ones that gets obvlivion first.
Not a deterrent...at least when compared to eternal damnation.
It's called the bible.
That book you've never cracked open in your life.
I obviously understand your religion much better than you do.
Early civilizations establishing their codes and laws based of the predominant religion makes sense, they did their best with what they had. All of these civilizations started quite some time ago, modern science is relatively new. In the relevant time line, it's actually very new. We cannot sit here and blame or fault the people of those earlier civilizations...after all, they were people...just like us. They were trying to do the best with what they knew.
At least the founding fathers of this country understood well that we were not to become a christian nation, yet many believe we are. They all knew that religion had no place in politics and law.
Or anything at all about thier own doctrines.
It's not my religion. I'm not Christian.
No I haven't. I don't believe in the Bible.
According to the person who translated it, L.W King, Hammurabi thought he was chosen by the Gods, as posted in the translation in my previous post, to prescribe these laws. Nonetheless, it was religon that being used to base the law of the land, whether it had validity towards the religon or not, just by the context in which the laws were being ordained had connection to God by the ruler or the people who were making the laws.
WTF is ass hurt? There you go again thinking you know it all. You've spent too much time locked up in that library. I know plenty about my religion. You are just pissed because I don't agree with you. Get over yourself.
WTF? I busted his ass about the Crusades. How is that "agreeing with him"?
That was posted to Joe Chalupa, not Steven.
Not necessarily, no.
I'm not going to generalize, everyone is their own case, we're all individuals. You have people that know and don't know very much in both groups.
