I think we should take the best out of all religions.

I think we should take the worst out of all religions... throw it in the trash, and forget about that nonsense

 What would you do next, throw all forms of art you don't agree with into the trash?  Then you could move on to trashing all the music, dance, sport and all other things non-scientific.  Why waste our humanity on such trivial pursuits?  Fuck culture, there should be nothing on this earth that can't be rationalized and proven with science. We should apply the scientific method to our every pursuit.  That will solve all worldly problems.  Maybe then we could all get along peacefully (I mean, if there is enough empirical evidence to prove that peace is a desirable outcome).

Wow, guy... you think a lot of crazy shit

Who said any of that?  Not me...


I said we should get rid of the bullshit in religions... like the homophobia, pro-slavery, genocide, magic, etc... remove that bullshit, leaving the good stuff... keep the good stuff

Basically the same thing Thomas Jefferson did with the New Testament...

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

Quote
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Bible, was a book constructed by Thomas Jefferson in the later years of his life by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's condensed composition is especially notable for its exclusion of all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels which contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages indicating Jesus was divine.

  You didn't have to say any of that.  You're the self-proclaimed arbiter of bullshit.


The problem with projecting... is... you are mad at yourself, not me

I love art, music, etc... why would I want to get rid of any of that?

It's only religion which teaches people to do evil deeds while claiming to be the good guys...

For the most part, music and art are benign, they don't inspire hatred and violence in the way religion does

 I'm neither angry with myself nor you, Melek.  I think a lot of crazy shit while you're cutting and pasting religious texts to suit your world view. So, maybe we're both mad?  Speaking of mad,  I would be careful not to let anyone know if you decide to take scissors to the Koran.

I would only do that if I found some good stuff in there

Honestly, I haven't read it yet... only the occasional quote (typically the amusing stuff, like Muhammad flying around on a winged donkey)... it's on my reading list though

I gave up on their religion when I heard their prophet married a 6-year-old girl... but, that doesn't mean their book is worthless, just that it isn't written/inspired by god (spoiler: no religions were)

As an atheist, I would argue that all religions and books were written by humans, not gods... all systems of morality come directly from humans...

Some are better than others, but I would not declare Plato better literature than the Koran without first reading them both... that would be ignorant

Ummm... but... if... there is no god... there is no "sin" either... right?


If there are no sins what are crimes that our Society is based on?

You can go to jail by committing crimes.

They are certainly not based on the bible...

Only 2 of the 10 commandments are laws... the rest are bullshit

Do you go to jail for making an idol?
How about cursing your parents?
How about coveting your neighbor?
Do you go to jail for saying Jesus Christ you're a fucking moron?

No?

I didn't think so


My favorite is, "Honor the sabbath and keep it holy"...

Not only is it perfectly legal to work on the sabbath, many businesses pay you more for working on Sunday...

That why we are different.

Because one of us is capable of comparing biblical laws versus societal laws, and see they have nothing in common...

While the other, makes false claims and accusations?

You cannot think that there is no God: as thinking that there is no God is a sin.

This sin leads to death.

That one is simple to answer - There is no fucking God!
Why people are still taken in by this rubbish I will never know.


Wow! And maybe you feel so manly to say that!

I'm scared, I'm scared... there is no God, I said, now I'm going to burn in Hell!!!!

uuuuuuuu...

Grow up kid: Faith is a responsability[sp] and believing is not an option.

People fear that which they do not understand...

Which is why the bible says, "The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom"

keyword... beginning

not middle, not end... the beginning

Once you get to know god, you realize she isn't such an evil bitch after all... no reason to fear god, other than ignorance

I am an atheists and i really believe at least the catholic church should be banned and declared a criminal organisation.
They control their followers with threats such as if you don't follow gods will you will be punished for all eternity and burn in hell, out of fear you have poor people that can't really afford it donating money they can't spare to the church and old people leaving their houses and all possessions to the church hoping that it may help them get into heaven, it's nothing but a big scam that has gone on for too many years and needs be stopped.

We have a law here that says if a member of a bikie gang has been convicted of a crime he can no longer hang out with his "group" or will face 3 years in jail.
Why does this law not also apply to pedo priests who have been convicted of disgusting crimes, most of them can still hang out with their pedo priests mates and still attend their gang meetings (church mass).

In short i hate religion because society has allowed them to live by a different set of laws than the rest of us for too long now, if ever convicted of a crime their mates in the priests hood always covers their legal costs and hide them away to protect the churches name, they don't give a fuck about the victims they only care about themselves.

Here is where you are missing it. Government and all organizations that are large enough, and a whole lot of individuals, do bad things and never get caught. Forget that part.

The people who donate to the Church believe they are donating to God. God sees this, and will reward them appropriately in the afterlife. The bad people who do not repent and start to do good, will receive destruction in the afterlife.

This life is only for, maybe, a hundred years. The afterlife is for eternity. Get with God so that you have good in the afterlife. This life won't even be remembered or brought to mind in the afterlife times.

Don't you ever tire of making excuses for the mistakes of your god?

If you don't find the right God, your religion will destroy you

Interesting hypothesis...

Does that apply to yourself as well?

Quote
I challenge anyone to come up with reasons to keep cash that outweigh the enormous benefits of getting rid of it. Imagine the worldwide suffering because of crime, from drug dealing to bicycle theft. Crime that requires cash. The Swedish krona is a small currency, used only in Sweden. This is the ideal place to start the biggest crime-preventing scheme ever. We could and should be the first cashless society in the world.—Björn Ulvaeus

Its to bad a story like this does not draw on bitcoin but think they the argument is now that they can track all transactions back to the owner and presuming this will limit crime more than the bitcoin setup. Interesting take on the issue.

So... You're saying... that I can't hire an assassin with 2 sheep and a horse?  Or a bar of gold?  Or a bag of cocaine?

Colloidal silver is actually a prophylactic against argyria, instead of a cause as some would have you believe.

Ionic silver will try to plate out on any silver particles it finds. Since there will be colloidal silver which already passed into the blood, there will be lots of particles for it to plate out on. So in short order the silver in the silver chloride plates out onto the colloidal particles already there, and they grow by a small amount. This is insufficient to cause them to get caught up into tissues, and they eventually get removed by the kidneys.

So, as it turns out, colloidal silver is actually a prophylactic against argyria, instead of a cause as some would have you believe.

Please do not take medical advice from an idiot on the internet

Please either find ONE person who prepared CS properly and became blue (permanently), OR stay on topic...

1) The guy I posted a picture of... I already posted his name and picture above... he applied CS to his face and it turned blue... permanently
2) There is no "proper way to prepare CS"... CS isn't really even a thing... it's simply small particles of silver floating in water (aka snake oil)
3) Edgar Cayce did not advise people to drink CS... he sold a machine which would ionize the particles directly into your bloodstream
4) The layman would not know the difference between ionized particles or non-ionized... I doubt you even understand the difference, so quit giving medical advice to people

This is not the topic... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... please stop spreading harmful medical advice
