I think that's referencing idolatry.
No, you can ask all you want but in the end you need to make a decision. Everyone will tell you there's a "leap of faith" involved in this which is true. It's up to you. Even if you remain stubborn don't spread that to others ESPECIALLY children.
No one is saying anything about forcing religion. You are right that is ridiculous. Like forcing children into trans and all that. BTW, you don't force, you just keep God around them and in their life because even if they grow up to be like me they will still, deep down know what's what.
Not sure of your comments to be tho. Are you a Christian and taking issue by the way I'm going about it?

How is a man born from a virgin? C'mon son, Mary was seeing Jerome on the side and Joseph was so whipped he bought the messiah story.
I was raised in a catholic house, I went to Catechism as a kid, so it’s not like this is coming from ignorance, tbh. I don’t hate religious people at all either. If fearing an invisible guy in the sky works for your psyche, more power to you. I don’t deny that, in some cases, there’s a psychological utility value to religion. And I would even go further and agree that such psychological control was at times necessary when this world was full of savages.
Now, personally, I do think in this day and age organized religion is, on the overall, absolute garbage and when it reaches the peak of fanaticism, extremely dangerous. It’s really strange to me that anybody over the age of 10 would take it seriously, tbh
I’m fortunate enough to live a very fulfilling life, getting paid to do what I love. Don’t need any fantasy for that.
Should I introduce them to Allah too?
Let me add that whole diatribe about atheism being sad and what not… what’s sad about it? Yeah, we live and then we die, what’s the big deal? Hopefully you weren’t a complete up and leave some sort of legacy that serves humanity in the future. After all that’s exactly how science has advanced to this stage (over the shoulders of prior scientists) and we have so many more exiting things to discover, investigate and master. Quantum mechanics, fusion energy, artificial intelligence, etc… innovation and creativity are never sad or boring, imho.
Michael Ballack was both!
Most definitely not.
I think the sciences are super fascinating but you can still do both.
Why not? What do you have to lose?
Thanks for playing here. Been a while since a Christian showed up around these parts.
Unfortunately, I predict once the questions get tough to answer logically, you'll "let go, let God" and bolt.
he's a nonbeliever in every single religion in the history of the world... except one
he's just baffled that you are a nonbeliever in exactly one more religion than he is
Well you asked me and I said no. If you practice Christianity you understand that there is only one God. There isn't another equal. (Fairly certain they would say the same.)
Ok, I'll play. How can you prove He doesn't exist?
can you prove that an intergalactic scourge of space pirates that look just like seahorses, only much larger, is not currently conquering the andromeda galaxy?
Are we going to have to pull the Flying Spaghetti Monster out of the dustbin?
Which Christianity, as several Christian sects consider other Christian sects as being false religions?
Heck, they all have different versions of the bible so which version of Christianity are you talking about?
You didn't answer the question. What do you have to lose?
It's a mistake to try to prove God exists to someone else. You only need to prove it to yourself. It's not a community event.
thats convenient
Yes. I wish people would keep it to themselves. Too bad politicians cater to the nuts
An unintended benefit.
This tbh. Never understood why religious people get so bothered that others don’t believe. If you want to believe by all means go ahead, no need to waste your energy trying to convince others though tbh
That is what happens when the religion of the poor and unenfranchised gets coopted by the state. Nietzsche was right to point out the slave morality in the theology but he ignored the parts that glorified great men and states.
I guess since the book was written by men and men have either aspirations or deep seated beliefs in corporate power structure through entrenchment and indoctrination since birth, the book is bound (pun) to have smatterings of "righteous" kowtowing to human leadership. You can also find messages that say just the opposite. It depends on what you go looking for when you go looking, and I have learned that most people go looking to affirm, not to learn.
