i prefer elimination via education rather than bans.yes communist countries are proof of how no wrong can ever come of blanket bans on religion

You can educate yourself out of Christianity. That's how I did it.some posters would call that tap dancing

Would you care to elaborate?as far as I’m concerned I’ve educated myself into it

Calling God names is futility at its worst.I think this is funny, quite possibly one of the funniest things I've read on here.
You're actively not disproving or disputing that God (as he is portrayed in the OT) is narcissistic. If anything this reply compounds that narcissism.
And I'm perfectly content not understanding the gibberish of the original post, because the words were not in an order designed to create meaning, whether literal or metaphor. I can speak so no-one can understand, too; does that mean I am a god?
Snorkel. Green. Cheese and cornflakes. Breathe and live shirty.
Amen.
where did I say it was?
Can you find that for me?
I was responded to the intonation that the world is somehow always going to be better without organised religion.
it’s a ridiculous idea because there is a tonne of proof that it wouldn’t be any different. Humankind is full of bell-ends. It always will be. Greed and power and the desire to dominate will ensure that there will always be hate, violence and misery somewhere.
If he exists, I hope he's listening, because he is not worthy of my worship if the OT is an example of how he behaves. Mind control, forced compliance, temper tantrums resulting in massacres; you name it, he's asked for it, up to rape and incest.Calling God names is futility at its worst.
If He exists, good luck.
If not, why bother with all of this?
You’re on thread that some of us consider a form of debate more than feely feel feels.sorry but I don’t have to justify anything and I’m not sure why you think anyone does
If He exists, how did you come to have such a conscience? It is HIS world and creation. You ask mm's to try and explain the modus operandi of the Creator. That is farcical.If he exists, I hope he's listening, because he is not worthy of my worship if the OT is an example of how he behaves.

If not, the fact that you don't care about the fact that he's complicit in the above is troubling. If every christian is comfortable with this, that's adequate reason to 'bother with all of this' to me.
What evidence do you have for this constipation problem afflicting Christians? Was that your issue, so you evacuated yourself?How disappointing are the Christians here?
Just admit you're relying on subjective experience and be done with it. We know you're full of sh*t. The problem is that you don't know you're full of sh*t.
On the question of what a Christian is, would you rate Scott Morrison and Donald Trump as genuine Christians?Calling God names is futility at its worst.

True scotsman fallacy. Please dont fall for thatOn the question of what a Christian is, would you rate Scott Morrison and Donald Trump as genuine Christians?
What do those 2 very different individuals say about themselves?On the question of what a Christian is, would you rate Scott Morrison and Donald Trump as genuine Christians?
Post again when you're sober.True scotsman fallacy. Please dont fall for that
I was speaking metaphorically. If you can't understand posts on a football forum, how are you going to understand the bible or a science text?What evidence do you have for this constipation problem afflicting Christians? Was that your issue, so you evacuated yourself?

As for someone having having to justify their beliefs, when those beliefs are used to justify policy making, morality judgements, the poisoning of children’s minds, cutting genitalia of newly born/of age children, medical, political, scientific, ethical, philosophical progress, you’d better have a ******* decent argument and justification for this belief!
This ain’t rocket surgery, sheeshuz h!

Lazy. Morals don't come from god; they are formed out of our being a social animal, and have evolved as we have in order to greater facilitate societal harmony and perpetuation. Religion itself is one of the ways that these morals were packaged in order to ensure compliance and understanding.If He exists, how did you come to have such a conscience? It is HIS world and creation. You ask mm's to try and explain the modus operandi of the Creator. That is farcical.
It could be that I feel lied to, because I was lied to. It could be that I feel conned, because I was conned. It could be that I was indoctrinated as a child, because - like all kids raised to go to church and to believe instead of think - I was indoctrinated as a child.Again, if He doesn't exist, why the anger? Nothing evil ever happened; the OT is fiction; the world is yours, do whatever feels right for you. You are intelligent, and in control of everything in your life.
... are you telling me this isn't the 'Teabag a Christian' thread?Mate it’s called ‘ask a Christian.’
it’s not
‘Mock a christian’
‘Make a Christian try to justify what they believe in’
‘Ask a Christian what they believe in and then tell them they’re wrong because you disagree with it’
why shouldn’t he post in here?
as for your last point, if he felt like he was being eaten alive I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t post here.
all I’ve seen him post is personal applications of what his belief has done in his life and professions that he believes it is real.
you wouldn’t ask a football fan why they support a team and then tell them they’re wrong just because you don’t see things from the same angle as they do
No, no it doesn'tI think that says more about you than it does about me
