Question Everything

The theory that religion is a force for peace, often heard among the religious right and its allies today, does not fit the facts of history.

It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.

How do you feel about parents forcing their kids to go to church? Recently, my mother has been making me go to church after she found out I’m not as religious as she thought I was.

As long as there are those who are willing to shed blood and take innocent life in the name of religion, the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace.

I think religions are like monarchies. There might be a good king here and there but the system is problematic. Too easy to exploit.

If you pray for rain long enough, it eventually does fall. If you pray for floodwaters to abate, they eventually do. The same happens in the absence of prayers.

Christians often threaten atheists with eternal torture. But if we say that they're delusional, they will tell us that we're being rude.

Just a heads up I was a Hebrew Israelite and they take everything in the Bible seriously. They believe a black Jesus is going to come back and save the Jews. The women have internalized misogyny and some even believe rape is a beautiful thing as it brings two together. Anon could very well be a woman. It’s sad.

There is no reason to follow Bronze Age ideology in the 21st Century.

No no, I knew that, haha. It doesn't matter what you say to the person anyway, it's about what you feel on the inside. I just thought it wasn't a nice thing to dismiss someone's prayers for you, even in your head. Instead of thinking, "yeah, but that won't solve my problem." I would've thought something like, "Yeah, I don't think them praying will solve my problem, but it's so sweet that this person is thinking of me and hoping my situation will improve, and I appreciate that."

Kind of a shitty thing t'say. Not a believer myself, but if someone offers to pray for u just take it as a sentiment & appreciate that they're looking out for u! It's like when some1 says "I hope things get better" - that won't do shit to solve your problem, but they care enough to wish u the best and hope for a better outcome of ur situation. If someone wishes u well, they're usually just trying to comfort u, not erase your problem. So how can u hold that against someone offering their prayers?

I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It's not enough to say that I don't believe in God. I actually regard the system as distressing; I am offended by some of the things said in the bible and the quran, and I refute them.

An atheist sees a hopeless end to life. A Christian sees an endless hope after life. "Then he wished death for himself, and said, 'It is better for me to die than to love.'" Jonah 4:8c NKJV

The Hebrew (black, native, and Mexican) women just have to accept their role as a slave to men. That’s what we were made to be. We were made for man. A woman is useless and evil. We cause nothing but pain and we need to be put back in our right minds. We are too westernized. Yahawah is not pleased with us. We had one job and we destroyed it. We ruined Adams life and now we are ruining our own.

If you want to assert a truth, first make sure it's not just an opinion that you desperately want to be true.
