WOTM: This Thing...
A look at some of the problems created where none existed — all because of this thing!
One of the big problems I have with religion is the endless creation of problems which would not otherwise exist without people thinking they know things of which they have no knowledge whatsoever. This month's Mr. Deity episode made me start thinking about the fact that actual human beings were murder by religious people because they were thought to be witches. It's not just outrageous. It's stupid — beyond belief stupid (pun intended). But it's the same kind of thing that has led to millennia of persecution for various groups — all unnecessarily. Except for...this thing!
Thanks again to everyone who has continued to help me make these videos. B

When your power comes from God. People saying there is no God is a threat to your power. Also family members who might have a claim but that is a different discussion
Unfortunately, in my opinion, if the Bible didn't come in to existence, it would have been some other book. The time in our history when the Bible was formed was ripe for that type of thing and the leaders of the world wanted something to help unite the people and bring all of the different christian sects together.
I'm afraid you're right. But why couldn't it have been the musings of some prophet bent on non-violence? D'oh!
What a coincidence. I just tweeted this last night! <a href="https://twitter.com/yanquetino/status/858505220720021504" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/yanquetino/status/858505220720021504</a>
