I have not come to bring peace, but war. I adlib Jesus and thus refute your statement. He was also against the divorce laws of Moses and would have im...

The non-literalist ancients were brighter than the literalist fools that now populate Christianity and Islam. They were a damn site more moral as well...

The first disobedience we see in the bible is A & E not reproducing way back in Gen 1. They disobey and consume knowledge in Gen 3. Paradoxically, the...

?? What mess? Is a populations first duty not to reproduce and grow the population? Is that not what we have done? Sure we might have done it in a bet...

Since Eve was deceived into eating from the tree of knowledge, god exonerated her and the Original Sin was cause by Adam accepting knowledge from Eve....

Make him human because as a god, he was ruined the moment the Trinity concept tied him to a genocidal son murdering prick of a god. That bond must end...
January 20, 2020 at 14:52
It depends on which denomination, but basically, yes. That condition is negated though when they say that all humans are born with Original Sin, and t...

FYI. The original Jewish messianic myth did not include anything about the forgiveness of sin. The sacrificed angel/Jesus was to return and lead the p...

Ditto. Regards DL
January 19, 2020 at 22:02
Gnostics have rejected such thinking because, like fractals, it becomes a never ending story with, as the ancients even said, one turtle standing on a...
January 19, 2020 at 21:19
Nor I except to point out the idiocy of reading myths like history and thinking a god created women. Regards DL
January 19, 2020 at 21:15
That is why it grew through inquisitions and murder as it could not argue for itself in a cohesive manner. The same applied to Islam. They share the s...
January 19, 2020 at 21:11
In case you want to expand. I would say self created from a big bang. Do you give sentience to what you call creator, and was that entity created? Reg...

I am a Gnostic Christian. We have rejected the crap and retained the good. That may be why some say that the only good Christian is a Gnostic Christia...
January 19, 2020 at 21:06
That is not the core idea. The core idea, and the need for baptism, is that we are all born in sin. That core does not exist in Judaism. It makes god ...
January 19, 2020 at 21:03
I have not looked that up and do not really care. It is the reverse of the Jewish tradition and does not follow their thinking. They see what they cal...

Atheists would be right, FTPOV, and Christians would be wrong unless they hide behind their supernatural shield and poor math of Jesus being both 100%...
January 19, 2020 at 20:54
How do you make sense out of a god that cannot reproduce without a human female? How do you morally justify god coveting Mary and breaking his own com...
January 19, 2020 at 20:51
+ 1 We must suffer neophytes. Regards DL
January 19, 2020 at 20:46
That is what Christians say, while also saying that all humans are born with Original sin. Which is the lie? Regards DL
January 19, 2020 at 20:44
Read my reply above and the same applies to you. Regards DL
January 19, 2020 at 20:42
All those negatively effected by Christianity. That would include all gays and women who are denied equality by their homophobic and misogynous religi...

Always a pleasure to inform. Regards DL

I agree that we overuse and misapply labels. Regards DL
January 17, 2020 at 21:59
What % of climate scientists agree with you? That should be all I need to ask you. You are in a tiny minority. Regards DL
January 17, 2020 at 21:56
Thanks for this. I agree with the one-upmanship. I have a number of links showing Muslims teaching their young children to hate and play act at killin...

Which, according to scriptures, are in god's control as we are denied a free will choice. Quite the vile prick that Yahweh. Right? I ran the following...
January 17, 2020 at 21:48
I do not use the word faith. That word leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I use religion. I am a Gnostic Christian as I have not found a better all inclu...
January 10, 2020 at 01:21
Then you are ignoring the findings of the vast majority of scientists on the planet. You are as big of a fool on this as religion. Regards DL
January 10, 2020 at 01:16
We have a free will that is limited to physics and nature. I may wish to fly but physics says no. A free will within the bounds I set is demonstrable ...
January 10, 2020 at 00:36
Thanks. Regards DL
January 09, 2020 at 23:06
Yet the vast majority of us are not good enough to get to heaven with the few who are good enough. I call the losers, you and I, defective souls. Be l...

I do not think we can cooperate enough as a world against climate change without globalizing more. One goes with the other. Regards DL
January 09, 2020 at 22:22
We are Universalists with a heaven but no hell. Only a loser of a god would have to destroy his own works for not doing as programmed. Even worse when...
January 09, 2020 at 22:20
Well trimmed, sure. Regards DL
January 09, 2020 at 22:16
Christianity preaches that using a scapegoat is moral and ok. If god is in our image, he too will use a scapegoat and be as evil as humans who do not ...
January 09, 2020 at 17:21
Your own scriptures say that we do not have a free will to believe or not. The bible says god decides for us. Here is the longer version. ------------...
January 09, 2020 at 17:17
I did not hear the genocidal Yahweh repent for his own mass murders and genocides so my repenting for being and doing exactly what god created me to b...

Gnostic Christianity for one. We have tied equality righteousness. Here is the older explanation from Gnostic sources. http://gnosis.org/library/ephip...
January 09, 2020 at 15:47
Correct. Only fools will argue for a supernatural realm that they can know nothing about. As to children, and here I am looking at the world in total ...
January 08, 2020 at 22:38
Like what, given that they are still a homophobic and misogynous and refuse to grant all souls equality the way Jesus did? Regards DL
January 08, 2020 at 22:31
Good. There is no evidence or proof of such a concept. I do not even know if a supernatural Jesus ever lived and I attribute all that the scribes put ...
January 08, 2020 at 21:51
All that the supernaturally based religions have to offer are lies and speculative nonsense about god. I am not a literalist but write to engage them ...
January 08, 2020 at 21:03
In the book of his myth, the bible, it is written that Yahweh decides by the hardening of hearts and minds who will believe and be saved and who will ...
January 08, 2020 at 20:54
I agree but that is because the lying preachers do not show the truth of things. If the liars would speak the truth, things would be a lot better. You...
January 08, 2020 at 20:19
I agree. Christians tend to ignore that a big part of that law is that we all take responsibility and punishment for our sins. They ignore that justic...

Hate is indeed a human trait. So is love, and we default to love as our first instinct for survival. The hate is passed up from the bigoted peers. IOW...
January 08, 2020 at 20:07
The religious ignore that God chose Jesus to die even before the earth was created. That's scripture. When they want some other scenario, they are too...

Yes. The Jesus that hates all those they hate. That is why they love their version. Regards DL
