No, religion doesn't explain everything about the world. For example. Show me where Christianity talks directly about that one weed growing between the cracks in the pavement outside your apartment. No explanation exists about that weed in the Christian religion. A broad generalization might exist, wherein the weed might or might not exist. But religion falls far short of explaining everything about the world. Why does it fall far short? Because that isn't what religion is there for. Science is there to explain everything about the world. But it does not. Science is not internally consistent. For example. There are 3 major Big Bang theories that are all different. There are 4 Black Hole theories that are distinctively different. There are scientists who understand that none of these have been proven to be fact. There are other scientists, some of which believe in each theory. There are still other scientists that believe the theories aren't true, but that something like them is true. Science is picky in the detail area. Because of this, when it doesn't find all the details, it is almost useless. Religion covers the broad generalities. Religion is better than science, because religion shows all sorts of things that science will never be able to show, because of the complexity of nature, the universe, and life. That's the reason why many scientists have turned science into a religion for themselves, by believing in parts of it that have not been proven to be fact. Just like other religion, scientists have turned science into religion, hopeful and believing that parts of science are true, when in reality these parts have not been proven to be true... just like religion. Of course religion explains everything about the world. Your example: "about that one weed growing between the cracks in the pavement outside your apartment" -- the answer is of course "God". In fact, you've shown us that the answer for any question for which you don't know a well-defined answer has -- so far on this board -- always been "God". You believe in God at last!!! All my talk hasn't been for nothing, after all.

Atheists are not as bad as rapist. They do not violate your free will.
Their problem is that they don't realize how using their freedom to rape (for example) actually takes their freedom from them. They start to realize it when they are thrown into prison, where they lose a lot of their freedoms. God damn it you are such a stupid fucking asshole Atheists are the most moral of all people (evidenced by statistics)... 20% of Americans are Atheist, yet only 0.2% of prisoners are Atheists... do you need any more statistics than that? According to prison statistics, Christians are 10,000% (100x) more likely to commit a felony than an Atheist... People like to think Blacks commit more crimes than White people... but it's only like 3-to-1... Christian vs Atheist is 100-to-1... Basically, Christians are the ones committing the vast majority of crimes in America... statistically proven to be true Tsk, tsk. How you talk! Just be glad God doesn't take your freedom away for how you misuse it. How's the statistics for how many before-prison atheists find religion when inside? As far as Christians doing worse than atheists (if your statistics are even accurate), the devil already has the atheists. He doesn't need to work so hard on them. He is trying to get the Christians, so he focuses on tempting them. Since Christians are only people, they often fall for this greater tempting to do wrong. Doesn't mean they are less saved as Christians... or that atheists will be saved at all as long as they remain atheists. Turn while you can, and be saved for eternal life. As it is, you are throwing your freedom away. You use science and statistics when it suits your purpose and then ignore them or denigrate them when it doesn't, so it would be best if you do not weigh in on anything to do with science or with statistics. Here you go again, not providing links to the things that you say, nor explaining what you are talking about. As most of the people can see, you are simply full of deceit. But, you are a person, and until your end comes, I respect that. Why do I respect that? Because there is always the chance, no matter how slim, that you will turn to God and be saved. So you're just going to go with not trusting statistics or science, then? That your final answer? I don't really know what you mean. If by "science" you mean science theories, why would anyone trust them, since they have not been proven to be factual? Of course, there is a way that you can trust science theories. You can trust that they are theories until they have been proven to be factual. Why do you often suggest all kinds of generalities, as well as suggesting that someone thinks a certain way about those generalities? And then you won't even answer the question about why you do this?

You poor little fellow. You call that abusive? Most of it is pure, loving chiding, with the hopes of saving someone by showing him the error of his ways. Other of it is agreeing with someone where he shows his stupidity first. What's the matter? Can't take someone with a different opinion or better knowledge? They express better knowledge or a different opinion, and that hurts you, right? just because it is different, right? Don't you see that you are doing the same thing continuously? Haven't you figured out that, that is what a forum is for, at least to some extent? Now I suppose you will call this post of mine abusive. However... I can hardly believe you are that sensitive. Thanks for playing around.

False positive drug tests. Some of the widely distributed field drug tests commonly used by police test positive when exposed to a variety of non-contraband substances. Some even test positive when only exposed to AIR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djXVnmrlKvEIf you test positive when you have done no harm, and the police arrest you, time to make money. First thing you say is, "Is that an order," any time a cop tells you to do something. If you are doing something violent, he might not answer you but he just might taze you. But if you aren't doing anything violent, it is one person giving another person an order. Take his order and later, after things have settled down, write up an invoice for payment for following his order without cause. I mean, you give the waitress your order and then you pay her. So, why shouldn't the cop pay you when you take his order? Money time. It might cost you your job if he gets you on the way to work. Get enough out of him or his bond to cover severance pay and all your hardship. As some one that ran a foul of the law as a kid I know better than to blindly believe in the law and most people believe in it till they get burnt by it. Just the way things go for a lot of aspects of life. That's true, both as a kid and as an adult. That's why we need to ban together and fight the criminal law enforcement people. After all, you as a kid didn't know enough of the law to fight it properly.

Astrology is just another religion
Your mom is a religion... Is your avatar what you really look like? Or is it only part of your religion? I admire fine art... It's a painting I took a picture of while in Paris 20 years ago Now that you mention it, I might have seen pictures of it before. Why must everything revolve around religion and trolling? Are you retarded? Did you parents not love you enough?
Because everything DOES revolve around religion, and because all people are liars. Why do you ask if I am retarded? My IQ has a limit, just the same as everyone. What does my parents' love for me have to do with anything? Besides, their love and their ability to show it are two different things. Can anyone get into the hearts of his parents to check out the depth of their love for him? You ask some strange questions. The same strange questions as you've asked. I have a long list of posts you've made asking if other people are stupid or retarded. You have made some lists? In your dreams. Here you go again, suggesting that I asked those strange questions. To the best of my knowledge, I never asked those questions. In fact, I am the only one who has answered those questions. Got links? Post them. At least if I have asked whether or not people are stupid or retarded, I have left the question open. But you seem to be full of deceit in most of the posts you post with me in mind lately.

So What is the fear all about... ? Actual conviction of the people involved is the right track.
What are they being convicted of if they haven't harmed or damaged anyone, or even threatened them? The people involved who are doing the harm or damage is the cops.

Creating criminals is job security for corrupt, dumbass police, government agencies, etc in u.s. How long can an evil trash regime remain in power?
The thing that is a crime in the legal world, is not necessarily a crime in the lawful world - in America, Canada, Britain, and Australia, and a few other places around the world. It is only a lawful crime if there is harm or damage done. The accused needs to require that the accuser get on the stand (in court) and speak into the record under oath, the damage or harm that was done to him by the one accused. The damage or harm must be evident. And there must be a tie-in from the accuser to the one accused... evidence and a witness that the one accused did it. If the accuser is wrong in his accusation, the accused can require payment in the amount that would have been required from him. However, if the ignorant person who is accused doesn't know this, he isn't going to require anything from his accuser, and he will lose. The prisons are filled with ignorant people who have been sent there with nobody having been harmed or damaged. See http://voidjudgments.com/. Jails are full of people that could not make bail,that could not afford a lawyer and the mentally ill. You take those people out of the system and you see a big drop in the prison population,its not a race issue,its a economic issue. The facts about the system are also misleading because we are slowly heading more to the guilty now prove innocence model in some aspects of the law. Everyone has his day in court. If he had his head screwed on, he would immediately require that his accuser be sworn in and that he be sworn in as well. This would eliminate all the cases where the plaintiff is the government, because the plaintiff government can't be sworn in. Government is only paperwork, and paperwork can't take the oath or affirmation and get on the stand. From prison, it is difficult to do anything in law at a later date. In prison, you need to sign paperwork giving a friend or relative the power of attorney for you regarding you false imprisonment. They need to re-open your case, or file a new one, where a harmed or damaged person must come before the court. It is more difficult, but it can be done. One of the greatest words in law is "property." Let the one in prison sign paperwork that he has been the property of his relative since the two of them were alive. Then, let the relative require his property returned to him, and get a surety bond in case the government is afraid that the one in prison is dangerous to the outside world. This process for getting a friend or relative out of prison can take as little as two weeks. Remember one thing about this. If you get your friend out, you are responsible for his actions. Don't do it if he is dangerous, or you might wind up in prison for something he does bad after you get him out.

Okay. I'll say it real simple. The prophets of God are given authority by God. If a prophet is not given authority by God, he is not a prophet of God. There are multitudes of prophets around. Look at all the financial gurus who try to predict what will happen in the money markets. Some of these prophets are appointed by other people. Some of them appoint themselves. Is that what you were looking for? How did "god" give them that authority, show it to me please. Well, I can't show you how God gave and gives His prophets authority. The best I can do is tell you how to find out about it. The way you find out about it is to read the whole Bible. Read it in a modern translation of it in your "best" language. If that isn't enough, study how the Bible came into being, and all about the nation of Israel from its first beginnings. All religious texts have been written by men. All prophets and gods are made by men. The truth is to recognize that we are all "prophets" of our own destiny:- what we believe in influences our future. I would agree if you had said, regarding gods, "many" or "most." The laws of science might be false, and it may be proven to be false sometime. For example, the simple law of gravity is true. We all see the evidence, and there is no evidence that it is lacking somewhere that we know of for a fact. But it just might be proven that gravity is something else sometime, like inertia in an expanding universe that is accelerating in its expansion. So far, not, though. The laws of cause and effect, complex universe, and universal entropy show that God exists when combined. Whatever and Whoever God is, He exists, and that without mankind. When the scientific laws can be proven false, then we might be able to say that God doesn't exist from a scientific standpoint.

we can base our religion on faith in what God tells us. What has "God" ever said, I have a problem when the Universe is personified into "God". Gods are all figments of our own and collective imagination. No God has ever uttered a word. Jesus was God as well as man. Jesus-God spoke the universe into being. Moses and the other prophets of the Bible were told by God spiritually what to write. When a person doesn't know the history of the Bible and the nation of Israel, it is easy for him to think that God hasn't spoken through these people. But those who have studied the Bible and how it came into being, along with the nation of Israel and its history, realize that these things couldn't have come into being without God making them to exist. On whose authority are any "prophets" given that status? On the authority of God, working through Moses, to do miracles through Moses, which destroyed the people of Israel who didn't do what Moses said. The orders that Moses gave for future prophets said, that if what the prophet said didn't come to pass essentially every time he prophesied something, he was not a prophet of God. Many so-called prophets died at the hands of the people of Israel who realized that the prophet was a false prophet by the fact that the things he said didn't come true. Saint Paul in New Testament times did a few miracles that showed he had the power. Some of the miracles were against bad people. That's what it is all about. The power. Check the history of the Bible and Israel in detail to see that the Bible has the power. Answer the question: - On whose authority are any "prophets" given that status? Doesn't seem to do any good to answer the question. You don't read the answer. I am responding with this post, in case I didn't understand what you were saying, or if you were saying it to me. Ah, please clarify what you mean... if you want. Identify the authority by which "prophets" are given that status, that is who you are serving. All prophets get their authority from other humans. Okay. I'll say it real simple. The prophets of God are given authority by God. If a prophet is not given authority by God, he is not a prophet of God. There are multitudes of prophets around. Look at all the financial gurus who try to predict what will happen in the money markets. Some of these prophets are appointed by other people. Some of them appoint themselves.

What Aldous Huxley author of Brave New World had to say about this book:
"Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience."
Its interesting I think we get a bit of both books in todays culture.
However, even if conditioning is continued, generally it weakens enough and finally fails over time. Some of the best conditioning is done by violent converting to Islam, which uses Stockholm syndrome. But even this doesn't always last.

Astrology is back, and has been for a long time. Nowadays it has a sister called modern science. Both of these are attempting to upset the authority of God again. Once more God will upset the foolishness of mankind. But this time, it will be a complete destruction of the whole universe.
To be fair, I have mixed feelings on astrology... I give it more credit than religion, which is obviously false All of the psychic stuff complete bunk... like horoscopes, mediums, palm readings, tarot cards, etc But, I have not been able to say for certain that star charts are bunk... these trip me up with their accuracy and predictive qualities (the few times I've actually looked at them), similar to science... it could just be coincidence, I just can't say for sure Astrology is just another religion.

The beginning of Psalm 14: The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
