WOTM: Religion Makes People Stupid, Part II
Well, if you've already watch part I, buckle up. It gets worse. I don't know what more I can say. Just... be prepared for a level of stupid previously unknown. It's really sad. He's clearly not a stupid guy, and yet... this is what religion does to people. It did it to me!!!
Thanks again, gang! Two more coming up. I love you all more than I've loved both of my wives combined. Maybe that was the problem(?). Enjoy!!! B

But wasn't the Jesus character the proof-of-concept that you could create a person with free will that would only choose good? Why didn't the god make us all like Jesus? Free Will and no suffering! Problem solved! The god should have just made us all in the heaven place with pre-built character. Just created the desired end-state. What's the point of being all powerful if you have to wait for *process*! Yuck!
Fair point. Or why not limit the “evil” — sin being anything that falls short of the glory of God, to pencil stealing or bad thoughts? Why do you need holocausts and rapes? It’s sofa king stupid!!!
I think there is still hope for this young man, honestly. If he keeps saying this stuff out loud for long enough, he'll figure out how wacky it is.
I think you’re right. That’s what happened to me. Once you actually start thinking — even if it’s only to defend your own bullshit — it’s hard to shut that down. But without intellectual honesty and courage, even thinking won’t lead to change. I’ll be interested to see what happens with him.
Yeah, I really LOATHE the argument that the suffering of innocents exists so that those of us special people who remain can have a nice "object lesson." People who think like that should be shot out of a cannon directly at the sun, with tremendous speed. (Quoting (not) DJT)
Puuuuuuke! Just imagine what "character" the quarter-million men, women, children, infants, animals ended up with in that horrific tsunami in 2004, as they ran, screamed, panicked, were swept away, multilated… drowned. How about the inhabitants of Jericho that Joshua and his hordes murdered? That helped them build "character" with their last breath? All, but all such victims will build "character" in heaven…!?! I've never heard such metal masturbation, just to cling to an unproven, unsubstantiated, delusional belief. Sorry, a "smart" guy? He's a blithering idiot.
I think I'm a little better at separating the apologist from the apologetics. But I do understand your intolerance. It really is gross! 😉
God makes a lot of other people suffer to help build Camron’s character. Isn’t that what Christianity is about, making others suffer for you to be better?
It is disgusting, isn't it?
