Who protects and enforces your will when you wish to exercise your rights? Who do you call when being robbed. A bureaucracy. Right? Regards DL

Yes, and sometimes demanded. Regards DL

Do you apply this respect and honor to Hitler, Stalin and Yahweh? Regards DL
May 28, 2020 at 12:57
Yes. A childish one. I do not use the term "freedom". You nor I can ever be free of the tribe. We have liberty, as your Statue of Liberty shows. It is...

True. It just becomes meaningless. A wish list. The first duty of anyone with a right, is to insure that he enforces it for others, who reply in kind....

True, but he did not know where to land. My position, which seems to be the correct one. Regards DL

I agree with your sourse of early Gnostic Christianity. Chrestian Greeks and esoteric Jews seem to be the ones who gave birth to Christianity, --- aft...

Then you ignore the story and how it is laid out. Do you think the other apostles even know what was going on? I think they either did and agreed with...
May 26, 2020 at 16:55
This is true, as well as of all the other apostles who sat and did nothing to change Jesus' mind and attempt to prove the myth of a savior to be real....

Correct. Religions make the gullible victims to liars and con men. There should be a law against flagrant frauds. Regards DL
May 26, 2020 at 16:41
Since following an ideology is a prerequisite of religion, atheism can be considered a religion, since atheists draws on philosophical ideologies to g...

True. They want there to be retribution so much, they forget they are to love their enemies that they want to see brought to heel. That love to hate i...

What began above are laws were not worthy of men. The laws in heaven cannot be the same as laws on earth. Jews have always strove both for and against...

Given all the modifications to the U.S. constitution, that should be telling us all that it's language is garbage as it is poorly written. I think the...

The only thing we can be sure of. I see it more as a privilege as life is built on death. I do not mind helping promote new life. Regards DL
May 26, 2020 at 16:21
There could be and are many maybes in the contradictory scriptures. I took what I think is the majority view. Few Christians that I know of have admit...
May 16, 2020 at 15:50
I quoted from the constitution which posits a creator god, and while that document does not name Yahweh, being that the U.S. was a predominantly Chris...

I agree. That makes him the hero. If he was not, then the other disciples would be seen as really stupid for just sitting there while knowing that he ...
May 16, 2020 at 15:34
The scribes, I am sure, were quite careful in putting exactly what they wanted people to read as coming out of Jesus. They would not want readers to s...
May 14, 2020 at 17:14
If you will read scriptures in a way that they say what you want them to say instead of reading them to say what they say, that is on you. When god sa...

Jesus probably didn't say anything anywhere, given that he is a mythical character. As Joseph Campbell said, he is likely just one of his Heroes of 1,...
May 12, 2020 at 20:46
Jesus would not call those present 'my god". The bible says that sure. Which means that all of what is said of god is either speculative nonsense or a...
May 12, 2020 at 20:39
Because Jesus ascended, in the myth, to Yahweh's right hand an judgement seat and has to be gone through to get to the Father whom Jesus basically ret...

It does indeed say that in my bible and further down, it just has god setting the limits for Satan. God is the don while Satan is the hit man. You are...

In Job 2;3 where he admits to being moved by Satan to sin by doing evil without a just cause and when he repented in the Noah myth. You say god kills ...
May 11, 2020 at 18:40
Yahweh is shown to kill instead of cure in many parts of scriptures, even to the use of genocide. If Yahweh used the Golden Rule, he would cure instea...
May 10, 2020 at 19:44
Are you speaking of Yahweh? If so, how does his killing when can just as easily cure, live up to the Golden Rule? Further, how do you get that he crea...

I have no need to believe anything. I do believe what I think is true based on the facts I have accepted as true. Nowhere have I said that I understan...

They refute you, but if you cannot see that, this is pointless. If you are going to deny science ----- Regards DL
May 09, 2020 at 14:28
No argument on this. Regards DL Faith has no facts. Beliefs do. What facts make you believe in the supernatural? Regards DL

Sure. Like all genocidal pricks. Thanks for showing us how you honor genocidal characters. Regards DL
May 09, 2020 at 13:51
What did you gain from studying fantasy? I see that fantasy as quite good, given that Yahweh is a genocidal god. If I tried to talk you out of honorin...

That theory is foolish given entropy and the anthropic principle. Break your illusion by counting to 2. Regards DL
