An embarassing 11/20- just barely above random chance. I kept attributing things to Osama that were said by our own Xtian Taliban.

I used a methodology similar to ecgordon's, if it sounded like it was translated (less conversational and more grammatically correct) I attributed it to bin Laden. Worked okay, 15/20. Otherwise, if I just looked at the content, most of the time I hadn't a clue.

this is why i hang around this board..

i guess i could dig up some secular quotes where it was proposed that we should blow Iraq and Islam to hell..but what good would that do? individuals say and do what they please, religious or not

since many of you are not true-to-the-heart christians, therefore have not relentlessly studied the bible, nor given any consideration to occult perversions, i dont expect you all to know what Jesus Christs true message is, and what are perversions...

but at the same time, it would help if you all didnt take (ironically)as gospel, such bigoted opinions, and then associate them with Jesus and christianity, since the bible does not inspire such behavior or sentiment, and many christians such as myself KNOW FULL WELL THAT THIS IS AN OCCULT CONSPIRACY TO BRING UPON THE ANTICHRISTS GLOBAL GOVERNMENT-therefore we RESIST THIS TYPE OF PROPOGANDA AND HATEFUL RHETORIC, and avoid the divisive polarization of public opinion towards anyone.. christians, liberals, muslims or whoever it may be

when you condescendingly marginalize christianity, you then inherently marginalize the root problem which is the occult, and its influence through institutions who are the real perpetrators of this fascist global government agenda; such as the FED, the CFR and their political members and affiliates

ive said before the GOAL is a NWO, the global government of ANTICHRIST, and 9/11 was an inside job to initiate this agenda, using America as the engine. anyone, including christians, who believe the establishment view of history(like 9/11) are unwitting pawns and accomplices to this agenda, because unless you expose this for what it is, you inadvertantly take part in its fullfillment.. but it is not solely christians... ANYONE who supports the official view of 9/11 is being decieved by an occult conspiracy

this is why you all need to recognize America for what she is; the statue of liberty, the all seeing eye, the fasces, the pentagons and pentagrams.. it is all masonic occult symbolism which alludes to the luciferian fascist conspiracy that is curretnly decieving the whole world!

i beg you to consider what i am saying to you..because the symbolism and documentation is right in front of your faces. you can deny whether God truly exists, but understand that the OCCULT does exist, and they control the world through the central banks.

Yes I've heard it already, when Muslims blow stuff up it's because Muslims are violent and they're religion is hateful. When Christians do it it's because they aren't really Christian and they're under control of the NWO-Occult body snatchers.

So what's an occultist anyway? Are Pagan religions Occult? Because you should probably know that Pagans were practicing the Jesus thing long before Jesus was even a twinkle in God's under active libido.

since the bible does not inspire such behavior or sentiment,

If you really think there's no basis for the violent actions of some Christians in the Bible you've either never read the Bible or you're dellusional.

once again you are confusing peoples personal opinions, with doctrines actually preached by JESUS in the bible

show me where JESUS, the BASIS OF CHRISTIANITY, is in league with the neo cons... show me the similarities?

i know your take Citizen

No, you know what you want my take to be because you can't and never have been able to argue against anything I have said. You instead demand I back up some other thing I never said. You ask me to back up why I think Jesus was a mass murderer because I said some Christians kill in the name of Christ.

That's either delusional or blatantly dishonest, which is it?

But lets take you platently BS argument of "and when athiests blow stuff up... well their exempt, because only religious people are murderes". When did I say only religious people kill? When did I say people who are Atheists should be excused of wrong doings? Quote me. You can't because I NEVER SAID THAT!

But to take your argument head on, I guarantee you that more death can be attributed to followers of any major religion through the ages than to Atheists. Also I wouldn't call a Christian who happens to murder someone a Christian murderer, unless that Murder was motivated by their belief in Christianity. You on the other hand make overtures to the extent a murder by an atheist is an atheist murder, but a murder by a Christian is an Occultist murder. Nice double standards. Show me one murder that demonstratably stems from someone believing there is no God.

You are willing to excuse Christianity of any wrong doing, after all it's really the Occultists. Adversely you make overtures along the lines of Atheists have no morals. So what you attempt to accuse me of is demonstratably apt to you, and doesn't apply to me at all.

Quote:

You've mentioned a number of times the violent hateful nature of Islam, implying that any violence perpetrated by Muslims stems from Islam, I'll dig up the quotes if you like. Adversely you continually say again and again how any act of less than perfect peace and Harmony by Christians is the work of shadowy NWO-Occultists.

Quote:
you dont care about any of that, you are content with your own divisive bigoted opinion

Well I didn't get personal with you, but your bigoted opinion of anyone who you consider to not be Christian is showing through. Oh look another accusation from you that fits you better than me.

Quote:

I can't show you how your definition of Christianity fits in with anything in the real world. You idea of Christianity is of this infallible thing that doesn't actually exist. Your idea of what a Christian is likewise means there are no real Christians, including yourself. I can't show you how anything resembles your definition of Christianity because your definition of Christianity simply doesn't exist.

You've shown yourself utterly incapable of rationally discussing anything remotely relating to you're definition of Christianity so I feel no need to try again.

Quote:

Well if you knew anything about the Bible you'd know the correct translation of that sentence is "thou shalt not Murder". Maybe you should do some study into your religion?

Plus I think you'll find the Commandments were given to Moses in the OT, not Jesus in the NT. If you'd care to read a little bit more of the OT you'll find lots of nice stuff that not only allows but encourages killing. No one ever said the Bible wasn't self contradictory.

If Jerry and Pat had no voice in the most powerful military nation on Earth, if they lived in, lets say a cave, in, well for arguments sake Afghanistan, if you think they wouldn't be at the head of a Christian Terrorist network you're delusional

Fact is people like Pat and Jerry are probably more dangerous to you than Osama. How many American civilians have been killed by Al Qaeda? 6000? That's less people than the number killed by the IRA, an organisation AURaptor says is 'small time'. Do you trivalise the IRA because they were only killing English people and not the more important American? Killing a few people is all Osama can do, unless you do more in fear of him. Jerry and Pat and those like them who have voices and influence in your government can do much much more.

I don't hate religion, that's crazy talk. I hate religious fanaticism, and the attitude of those of any religion that comfort themselves with speak like "they did it". That attitude, the desire to absolve oneself of all blame is as much a cause of much of the present conflict in the world as the land it's fought on and the bombs and bullets used.

It's the attitude that allows some to not understand why the down trodden people of the middle east may have an axe to grind with the western powers.

"But we're such nice people!". You really think the people over there are any different? It's people the world over, they're the same animal. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, you'd react badly too a western power if it propped up vicious dictators, and killed or supported those that killed your children in order to ensure cheap fuel prices at the pumps so some guy can drive a big fat wasteful SUV?

my arguement is that the bible teaches to resist negetive behavior.. so how does the bible then INFLUENCE this behavior? that is my question..

if a politician, or someother prominant official is using christianity as a tool, that action in itself is antichristian

i never said athiests were subhuman, immoral sinners... my point was what motivates an individual to commit any unethical behavior? either way this 'desire' includes christians, athiests and muslims alike; so i dont see how you can single out christians for these deeds

i understand, you are not arguing what Jesus says.. but im telling you that his word is everything, as HE HIMSELF says to enter through the narrow gate, to aviod diception, and to love your neighbor above all else... anything else, by definition, does not align with the LIKENESS of christ, aka christian. when it becomes a tool for conquest, it becomes occult; that is my sole point.

i am imperfect, and likewise i do not judge others for their MINOR imperfections. but the people that come up in these discussions, the Bushs and other far right christian-occultists, i do have a problem with, because they are in posititions to affect enormous amounts of change, and they are perverting JEsus' message... that is where my beef lies; passing occultism off as christianity

the hypocracy is that we each use a double standard.. i mean, what is the title of this thread implying? that religious leaders and terrorists have the same talking points? because i think athiests are just as intolerant towards theists as is vice versa, so why perpetuate this divisiveness?

no one here will even rometely consider the evidence ive put forth, which substantiates MY PREMISE< my entire purpose of responding= which is that many christians in positions of power are secret occultists intentionally teaching diceptive doctrines. the sentiment around here seems to portray christians as these dogmatic, intolerant and bigotted war mongers... when Jesus himself preaches the opposite message; im telling you that the real, shadow agenda, is a one world government for the antichrist... that means that people working towards or supporting this are supporting an occult agenda. many are christians, but their are many who arent.. but by supporting this occult NWO agenda, directly or indirectly, they are being decieved

i am not belittling anyone here for any reason, nor do i wish to get into a mudslinging match with any of you... i simply want you to actually recognize that christianity becomes occultic beyond a certain threshold, and many American institutions like the Fed, the CFR, and societies like the freemasons and skull and bones are examples of occult societies.

i think you should all be aware of that.. rather then discard it as conspiracy crack pot ramblings.. because this is a documented fact

im not excusing any christian who blatantly sins..but why make the distinction of "christian" with the negative connotation.. when all human beings have been murderes and lyers throughout history? i think thats a double standard, because no one ever has anything to say about the athiest population, myself included.. because i have no factual bases to make such assumptions; but christians and other religions are fair game; i think thats hypocritical

i agree wtih this... in the same way the christian/occultists who hail Bush as Jesus' incarnate are not interested in truly liberating Islam by the truth of Jesus' and his message of peaceful submission and cooperation.. but rather they have been decieved into supporting a formulated (occult) pentagon agenda which caused 9/11, and is initiating(on hehalf of the central banks) the final phases of the global government agenda; with the intent to sabotage the world religions.

the moral being that the theistic fiaths are inherintly susceptable to diception, and must be vigilante against herecies which deny doctrines that are fundemental to peace

Where did he say that because I never heard anything about it. I don't care if someone has a religiously based opinion different than mine.

The "War on Terrorism" is theoretically a response to 9/11.

However, in my opinion, the reality is the Red Scare all over again. If one reads a variety of books about the Vietnam War (particurly post-French war, just prior to U.S. one), one can substitute "terrorist" for "communist" and "Middle East" for "IndoChina" and read the same things we read and hear now. Same basic drama, different time period.

Furthermore, would Osama/Middle Eastern terrorists have as much against the U.S. if we didn't continually support Zionism? It seems that we have a bad habit of arming and training our own future enemies.

I mean one tries to spread his theocracy with mass murder and the other two try with ridiculous bible blabber. Who is worse? Dunno? You can't be equating these. Or can you be? I wouldn't put it past you to trivialize mass murder just because you hate religion.

I don't think Osama tries to "spread his theocracy" with mass murder. He wasn't trying to convert the non-Muslim U.S. population to Islam when his organization flew planes into the towers. All 3 are modern religious zealots, using their interpretation of a holy book NOT written by any god to justify hatred, violence, oppression, and ignorance.

They are all three equally atrocious.

Sass, he has told America to convert or die after 9-11. That sounds like spreading his religion by the threat of murder to me. And the other two babbling on about the bible and Adam and Eve are not nearly as atrocious as OBL, clearly you must see that. Or is someone having a religious based opinion, different than your own, really that scary and atrocious to you as mass murder?

Where did he say that because I never heard anything about it. I don't care if someone has a religiously based opinion different than mine.

We supported the policy of Zionism under all of the Presidents you mention. I never once said that we were bombed because of President Bush. I suggested that it's our current Middle Eastern foreign policy that pissed the people off and started this.

Also, I'm not justifying murdering innocent people, I'm just saying maybe we should take a step back and see what role our own actions have played in it.

Terrorism has always existed, it will continue to exist, and there isn't a lot we can do about it.

Falwell and Robertson haven't propagated as much violence, but they have spread just as much hate.

If Christianity or any other religion is being used to bring about violence yes. Do you think someone would just randomly bomb an abortion clinic? Why can't we say that is a Christian motivated attack if it is motivated by someone wanting to enforce the Bibles morality on someone else?

The thing about organised religion is not that it creates the human desire to commit acts of violence, it's that it legitimises it, gives it scope, even makes it a good thing. It's that it can be used as a tool by the unscrupulous to push otherwise normal people to commit terrible acts because those terrible acts are a good thing as legitimised in religious work X.

It's the nature of faith that makes it pretty much the only thing that can be used in this manner. And its the nature of organised religion and how it directs faith that makes it such a glorious tool.

But if you think that it's some shadowy NWO Occult conspiracy behind the perversion of Christianity or any other religion you're sadly mistaken. A good deal of violence is dished out based on what is said in the Bible. If the Bible and other religious works could have their contradictions (such as "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" and "Turn the other cheek") removed, in the previous example taking away the eye for an eye bit, we'd see a lot less violence in the world. Of course these contradictions can not be cleared up, these holy books can not be reworked, and these holy religions can not be questioned, even in the light of a changing world.

Therein lies the problem. The Bible and other religious works represent the morals of a world where saying Yahweh was a crime punishable by an excruciating death. These books teach these morals by virtue of that being what they were written to do. That was fine back then, but we no longer live in that world and these books have not and can not change to reflect that. These morals are unacceptable now, but they are still a core part of these ancient works, but by the nature of faith and organised religion this discrepancy can not be removed. Therein lies a problem.

Dang, not one person got more than 13. I got 11 because I decided they were just being cute and all the answers were Jerry/Pat.

I don't care for any of them but I currently regard the Muslims as the greater threat. Not because of direct aggression (unless they get nukes - that changes everything), but because of the gradual spread of population, culture, religion combined with the threat of violence, that could eventually take control of Western democracies and replace them with total doo-doo (read: Sharia).

Not that Jerry/Pat are going anywhere much different, they just don't seem to have as much momentum. And they are not, by any stretch of the imagination, as violent.

It's okay to leave them to die.

i acknowledge your point. my thing is.. i could not justify bombing an abortion clinic, or anything even remotely closed to an act of agression..since that behavior is inherintly antithetical to my personal knowledge of the message of scripture, being unconditional love; which is why i question such an individuals true motivation, since it is clearly not christ-like. it should be more correctly likened to the pharisees, who were exposed time and again as hyprocrites, who only honored God with their lips, and not their actions, ultimately hurting their people while leading them astray as 'false teachers'.

Jesus says "if you hold to my teaching, you are REALLY MY DISCIPLES. then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. i know you are Israels descendants. yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word. if you were Abrahams children, then you would do the things Abraham did. as it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that i heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. YOU are doing the things YOUR OWN FATHER DOES(satan). you belong to your father(the prince of this world), the devil, and you want to carry out your fathers desire. he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. he who belongs to God hears what God says. the reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."John 8

the NT is full of such quotes.. which is why Jesus emphasises, strictly, that only those who do his will, of peace, are his true disciples..otherwise anyone could claim to be christian

Jesus says "do not judge, and you will not be judged. do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. forgive, and you will be forgiven." surely, atleast you recognize that people who do otherwise are not actually following Jesus' example?

i dont believe there are any examples in the NT that legitimise or excuse or condone violent or negligent behavior, but if you know of some then please show me the verses so that i may study them. the OT is something else entirely..but is also a great deal more complicated; its important to keep in mind that Israel also murdered all of their prophets from God, constantly defied his word and ultimately worshipped idols and 'angels'. the Jews may have claimed to be acting on Gods behalf, but they simply could not recognize God from the fallen angelic, luciferian occult perversions; which culminated in the murder of Jesus and his disciples, by the Jewish leaders of the time. this was clearly not what God had intended, and i would argue that the Abrahamic faiths are still no different today

ok, but how are they more susceptible then anyone else, when they are supposed to be following Jesus' commands? i would argue that to legitimize terror would be to completely deny the message of Jesus. Jesus says 'if you love me, you will obey what i command' then he says 'the most important (command) is this: Love the Lord your GOd with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. the second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. there is no commandment greater then these".. because as he later says "love does NO harm, and is the fullfillment of the Law". we are told to resist the our fallen, instinctual nature, "for from within, out of mens hea

It's based on their reading of Christianity, they think their doing the Christian gods work, it's motivated by Christianity. If there was no basis for people to do these things from within Christianity Christians wouldn't do it in the name of Christianity.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Jesus criticising Jews for not fulfilling Old Testament law by not killing disobedient children.
Luke
12:5
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Jesus telling us we should fear God because God can kill us and send us to hell on a whim.
John
3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemened: but he that believeth not is condemened already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God
Jesus tells us that as long as you believe in him you're ok. So you could be the nastiest bastard in the world and still go to heaven, as long as you believe Jesus was the Son of God, adversely you could be the greatest saint, but if you're not a Christian it's straight to hell.
3:36
He the Believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the son shall see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him
God hates non-believers. If God hates non-believers god's hardly going to have much of a problem if a believer were to drop a bomb through a non-believers letter box.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

ok... youre right Citizen, the bible is evil, and christians, jews, and muslims are evil

its funny... when youre a theist, any action is assumed inseperable from your worldview; every consequence being the result of a premeditated religious cause

but if your an athiest, there are absolutely no guidelines... infact, you can do anything, and your worldview will never be scrutinized; A never leads to B

if your a theist.. its religiously motivated

if your an athiest.. it is an individual mistake

sure its a double standard... but equality is only relative right? like truth?

basically murder, greed, envy, adultery, lying, stealing... these are exclusively theistic traits, performed by religious people

no athiest would ever committ such "sins", nor has an athiest ever committed such "sins", since its clear that only religion(not the lack thereof) causes destruction

athiesm is benevolent; atheists are Gods, as they are perfect human beings who share none of the same character faults as the lesser, subhuman theists..

if an athiest commits a crime.. he was probably conditioned by ' a church'

am i right?

i mean... a religious persons worldview leads us to murder and crime

meanwhile your worldview, being whatever you wish, is infallable, inherintly perfect and void of all human imperfections

i just find it ironic:

you constatly say that its our worldview that causes inequality and divisiness.... but meanwhile you look down upon us, condescendingly, only to suceed in purpetuating your own set of indifference and intolerance

your world view is no better then ours, since you too are imperfect,and you too perpetuate your imperfections

what solution do you have to change human nature? your singling yourself out as more intelligent, more ethical as atheists, is a self righteous act of judgement; something the bible actually condemns

all human beings CITIZEN have these sinful desires, no one is perfect, so who are you to hold yourself as more righteous then we?

what do you contribute but un-needed degredation and division?

Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler.. i suppose they were theists aswell? afterall, only religiously motivated people are criminals right?

Quote:
'Both Marx and Hitler have their philosophical roots in Hegel' (Sutton, 118). It is here that one arrives at the Hegelian nexus where Darwin, Marx, and Hitler intersect. Recall that Nietzsche-ism, Darwinism and Marxism were all mentioned together in the Protocols of the Wise Men of Sion. This was no accident. Nazism (a variant of fascism) sprung from Nietzsche-ism (Carr, XIV). Communism sprung from Marxism. Both were based upon Hegelian principles. Moreover, both were 'scientific dictatorships' legitimized by the 'science' of Darwinism."

Quote:
“However, Fascism or Marxism, right wing or left - all these are only ideological roads that lead to Aldous Huxley's brave new world [i.e. scientific dictatorship], while the foundation for each of these roads is Darwin's theory of evolution. Fascism is aligned with biological determinism and tends to emphasize the unequal struggle by which those inherently fittest shall rule. Marxism stresses social progress by stages of revolution, while at the same time it paradoxically emphasizes peace and equality. There should be no illusions; Hitler borrowed from Marx. The result is that both Fascism and Marxism finish at the same destiny - totalitarian rule by the elite.” (Taylor, 411)
Quote:

The interest of both Hitler and Marx in Darwinian evolution is a matter of history. While he was living in London, Karl Marx attended lectures on evolutionary theory delivered by T.H. Huxley. Recognizing the odd synchronicity between the communist concept of class war and the Darwinian principle of natural selection, Marx sent Darwin a copy of Das Kapital in 1873. Enamored of evolution, Marx asked Darwin the permission to dedicate his next volume to him six year later. Troubled by the fact that it would upset certain members of his family to have the name of Darwin associated with an atheisti

You're continuing your logical fallacy here, namely Appeal to emotion. I didn't say this, I said if a Christian commits a crime it doesn't make it a Christian crime, unless Christianity was the motivating factor.

I'm sure if an Atheist blew up a Christian Church because "there is no god" you'd be the first to denounce all Atheist and point out that it was an "Atheism motivated crime".

Adversely if a Christian blows up an abortion clinic because "God said they are evil" then that's just the influence of the occult or the actions of one lone "sinner".

Maybe you can clear something up for me. Why is it that Christians and others have such a hard time getting the simple concept that not everything is a religion? You equate Atheism to Christianity as if they are both doctrines of faith, and although Atheism could be said to be a belief it is not an organised religion or even organised by any stretch of the imagination.

You don't even read what I write do you? I stated quite clearly that a crime by a theist is only religiously motivated if its motivated by religion. How can you say the bombing of an abortion clinic because "God says they're evil" isn't motivated by Christianity? How can you say that someone brought up their entire life with the Christian doctrines that homosexuals deserve to die (see above) who then goes out and kills homosexuals isn't motivated by Christianity? You can't, but you do, that's your hypocrisy.

Strangely enough it would be rather difficult to find a crime or circumstance where Atheism was a driving motivator. What's Christianity? It's a collection of hundreds of beliefs and doctrines, ranging from "their is a God" to "God has a son" and including things like "love thy neighbour" and "Kill Homosexuals". What's Atheism? It's the label used to group Atheist, who have one and only one uniting belief, that "there is no God".

So really there is only one crime that if perpetrated by an Atheist can be said to be motivated by Atheism, a crime committed because "there is no God".

Quote:

Well if that is your position good luck with that, it certainly isn't mine.

You position appears to be that Christianity is innocent, no matter what, someone kills a homosexual based on entries in the Bible, well you know what brother it has nothing to do with the Bible. That's crap.

In order to win the debate you attempt to paint my position as the polar opposite, namely all crimes committed by Christians are Christian motivated, this is crap two fold, firstly because that position is as untrue as your own, and secondly because it isn't my position.

For the same reason that some Muslims find the Qur'an telling them to blow shit up and others find that that is abhorrent and totally against the word of Allah. Fact is the justification for both views are found in the Qur'an, it's just a matter of emphasis. It's the same with the Bible, and I hastened to add all though I happen to agree with you that it is wrong they think that they are right and your interpretation is incorrect.

Or maybe because there hasn't been one, I certainly can't think of a single case where a crime has been committed because the perpetrator decided there was no God, though common sense tells me it must of happened at some point.

And you are dead right, Atheism has no fixed ethics or holy law which it tries to instil, so you'd be hard pressed to find a crime justified or inspired by these non-existent values, wouldn't you. Christianity does have these values, so it is possible to find crimes inspired or justified by these existing values if such crimes have occurred.

You're getting all uptight because you demand I prescribe equality to two unequal things, Atheism is not a Religion, Christianity is, pure and simple. No amount of screaming or calling me a Hypocrite because I won't let you have the universe all your own way is going to change that.

actually i wouldnt, i would claim that every individual is responsible for his own actions.. just as the catholic preists being exposed as pedophiles are acting by their own consceince, and not inspired by scripture.

Except if their OCCULTISTS because OCCULTISTS are under HIVE mind CONTROL to take over the WORLD!!!!

Cthulhu FTAGN!

i agree.. i did not seek to win a debate with you

i have no intention of converting you, i never had any a desire to.. you are entitled to your worldview, as ive always said. but i feel compelled to respond as ive noticed that thread after thread that you cannot resist throwing in an antitheistic comment about how we're all a bunch of extremists, fostering hate and seeking this fascist theocracy; meanwhile the secular world gets all this glory as representing these eternally just, sound fundementals of science.

if you can respect my right to believe in a creator, without the constant condescension and belittlement, i wouldnt go on with my apologist rants all the time; but it angers me that you see all these horrors with theism, with its adherents.. yet you escape blame solely because youve adopted evolution as your primary worldview. in sounds to me that youve decided that any theistic doctrine can potentially influence immorality, but the evolutionary view doesnt lead to anyy immorality whatsoever; am i wrong?

it seems to me anyway that the preeminence of science has directly contributed to the industrializion of the western world, which has had many negetive consequences on mankind. as a result of this obsessive drive for "progress", western society is typically very superficial and materially driven, where the endorsement of capitalism is used to justify social darwinism, the concentration of wealth among the hands of the elite foew. people now, instead of worshipping a God, now worship the physical world, the acquirement of material wealth and social stature...this is all equally as destructive as our religious doctrines isnt it? science thinks that it can progress to solve every obstacle presented, or created by mankind(or technology itself), becoming an obsessive goal to manifest a technocratic utopia, where mankind unites under the knowledge and convenience of scientific discovery; the problem is man is still sinful and imperfect, and such a global technocracy would only succeed in officially enslaving mankind in his own devices.

will you atleast acknowledge that mankind needs a spiritual message to guide scientific discovery, because science itself is not objective? if youll agree with that, then we can find some common ground, otherwise i maintain that their is a metaphysical influence within man that cannot me measured or addressed by the physical world, which is also neccessary for our evolution

what is your arguement exactly CITIZEN?

that christianity, judiasm and islam can be interpreted to justify and preach hate? if that is your premise, state that, so i can understand that theism is the equivelant to terrorism in your eyes

basically, if the whole world were to convert to athiesm, the majority of human immorality would cease to exist, as it is largely fostered by religious doctrine.. thats the assumption.
