Christianity is poison, because it preaches weakness and torment as the path of truth. It destroys a person's mind and does not allow him to live his own full life.

Why only Christianity? Every religion is a means of enslavement of the people. All the activities are intended to live at the expense of believers. Religion is more of a vampire than poison. It is not profitable to kill the victim. It is advantageous for it to parasitize.

It's difficult to place all religions in the same basket

I suppose it's mostly the Abrahamic religions causing grief among the world (Jews, Christians, Muslims)

I haven't seen many/any reports of violence/terrorism from followers of Shinto, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Satanism, Paganism, etc...

It's really just the 3 Abrahamic religions causing trouble... the other religions are rather benign (except perhaps for believing in a few fairy tales)

Moloch is one of the most religious persons here on this forum. He doesn't believe in facts and he has some very low self esteem because he is constantly going against everything which proves his darwin-dawkins-cult to be wrong and dumb. he seems to be very afraid of the truth but fortunately he have to meet his Creator one day and it's not going to be a nice day if he doesn't give up on his pride and repent. And that day is getting closer and closer  Smiley

I find it funny how you "believers" paint other people with your own issues. We see right through this and realize that your in fact talking about yourself. In my experience its the Christians and other religious folk that have low self esteem because they need to latch onto a super deity father figure for security. This world is harsh and I can understand why people like you think this way. Its for comfort and you come together in your church (cult) to feel like you're part of something.

It's called psychological projection... everyone does this subconsciously, unless they actively fight against it (protip: easy way to find someone's weakness, they literally tell you)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

Quote
Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.

According to some research, the projection of one's unconscious qualities onto others is a common process in everyday life.

I stand corrected... Jesus was not a zombie himself, he was a lich!



Totally explains how he was able to raise zombies from the dead in Matthew 27:51-53
Quote
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

Yup, zombies... in the bible... "appeared to many"... and zero historians thought it worthy of writing down

Spoiler:

Jesus never existed... Jesus is a myth

There are zero... yes ZERO... contemporary reports of Jesus... ZERO historians wrote about him

It was not until 30+ years after he died before his name is even mentioned... anywhere... even in the bible

There are ZERO non-biblical sources for the name Jesus before 300AD (not even a great-great-great-great-grandson of a witness recorded the event)

ZERO people wrote about Jesus within 30 years of his death... ZERO people accurately recorded his teachings (can you recall the exact words someone told you 30+ years ago?)

Not to mention every event, and many of the sayings of Jesus were recorded in other religions prior to christianity... nothing is unique... the virgin birth, death, resurrection... all copied from earlier religions

Quote
What did non-Christian authors say about Jesus?
As far as we know, the first author outside the church to mention Jesus is the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, who wrote a history of Judaism around AD93. He has two references to Jesus. One of these is controversial because it is thought to be corrupted by Christian scribes (probably turning Josephus’s negative account into a more positive one), but the other is not suspicious – a reference to James, the brother of “Jesus, the so-called Christ”.

About 20 years after Josephus we have the Roman politicians Pliny and Tacitus, who held some of the highest offices of state at the beginning of the second century AD. From Tacitus we learn that Jesus was executed while Pontius Pilate was the Roman prefect in charge of Judaea (AD26-36) and Tiberius was emperor (AD14-37) – reports that fit with the timeframe of the gospels. Pliny contributes the information that, where he was governor in northern Turkey, Christians worshipped Christ as a god. Neither of them liked Christians – Pliny writes of their “pig-headed obstinacy” and Tacitus calls their religion a destructive superstition.


...Nevertheless, a recent survey discovered that 40% of adults in England did not believe that Jesus was a real historical figure... (editor's note: nice factoid!)

Why you keep lying, Moloch? Is that fear? Stop being so emotional, my friend Smiley

That's a lovely cut-and-paste propaganda job... but it's factually incorrect

Flavius Josephus' Testimonium is a known forgery
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus
Quote
Louis Feldman has stated that in the period from 1937 to 1980 at least 87 articles had appeared on the topic, the overwhelming majority of which questioned the total or partial authenticity of the Testimonium. While early scholars considered the Testimonium to be a total forgery, the majority of modern scholars consider it partially authentic, despite some clear Christian interpolations in the text

Quote
although twelve Christian authors refer to Josephus before Eusebius in 324 AD, none mentions the Testimonium

Quote
Scholars also point to the silence of Photios as late as the 9th century, and the fact that he does not mention the Testimonium at all in his broad review of Josephus

Quote
A separate argument from silence against the total or partial authenticity of the Testimonium is that a 5th or 6th century table of contents of Josephus makes no mention of it

Quote
In The Witness To The Historicity of Jesus, Arthur Drews stated that "in the sixteenth century Vossius had a manuscript of the text of Josephus in which there was not a word about Jesus."

Quote from: Ben Yehoshua
"Neither of these passages is found in the original version of the Jewish Antiquities which was preserved by the Jews. The first passage (XVII, 3, 3) was quoted by Eusebius writing in c. 320 C.E., so we can conclude that it was added in some time between the time Christians got hold of the Jewish Antiquities and c. 320 C.E. It is not known when the other passage (XX, 9, 1) was added... Neither passage is based on any reliable sources. It is fraudulent to claim that these passages were written by Josephus and that they provide evidence for Jesus. They were written by Christian redactors and were based purely on Christian belief."

You're wrong... literally ZERO historians mention Jesus within 300 years of his death... Josephus is a proven forgery... care to try again?

Even if Josephus was legitimate (which it is most certainly not)... it was supposedly written in 97AD... 64 years after Jesus died...
The first supposed mention of Jesus, a god-man who supposedly performed miracles in front of THOUSANDS of people, was 64 years after he died?  suspicious!

Josephus was not even born until 37AD... 3 years after "Jesus" died

Is that the best you have?  Flavius Josephus, born 3 years after "Jesus" died... wrote Jesus' name down when he was 67? (again, it didn't happen... proven forgery)

To be honest if this happened to anyone else nobody would have cared. If it was some white guy everyone wouldn't have cared.

I don't think race has much to do with it... granted, I wouldn't care as much if it was some punk 20 year old kid acting up, but it wasn't

People care because it was a doctor... and he was nearly 70 years old... you just don't throw around an old man like that

You certainly shouldn't treat a 70 year old doctor like that... he's spent 10 years in school so he could spend 40 years trying to help sick/wounded people

According to the Geneva Convention, knowingly firing at a medic is a war crime

You just don't fuck with doctors

It is this Constitution that maintains much of the freedom in America today... all based on Christianity

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

The only mention of religion in the Constitution is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

The Constitution would not have been accepted if the makers had not added the Amendments, and the people had not ratified the Amendments.

Most of the people were Christian people. Religious freedom was the reason they came over here. They would not have ratified if the Constitution was not acceptable to Christianity. So, the Constitution was based on the Christianity of the people.

Further, research this yourself. In the first years after the U.S. Government started, Christian church services were held in government buildings. And it was Government officials that did this. The people not only allowed, but they approved. Christianity wasn't consider just a religion. It was considered foundational world and life truth.


Sorry, you may have misunderstood... I asked if you have any EVIDENCE

Something like this:
Quote
The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.
~1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by Founding Father John Adams

Or this:
Quote
“If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.
~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789

Or this:
Quote
“In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”
~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Horatio Spofford, 1814

Gotta love Thomas Jefferson... he literally rewrote the bible, to take out the magical bullshit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible

Quote
The civil government functions with complete success by the total separation of the Church from the State.
~Founding Father James Madison, 1819, from Gene Garman, “Essays In Addition to America’s Real Religion”
