And guess what, kids? You won't believe it - research shows that religion leads to a more peaceful society!!! Research! That's, like, science, man! Unbelievable, innit? What will they think of next?

Too bad its BS. Too bad you couldn't provide a link.

SOB

Aaawww, you disagree but can't actually make a coherent point. Very you.

If it wasnt normal then why does it happen in other species as well? Perhaps its natures way of stopping overbreeding or something. Who knows but it occurs naturally.

SOB

Brilliant.

Illness happens naturally so it is as good as health?
Some people and animals abandon their offsprtings so that's OK, coz it happens.
People call you a phosphorecent cretin and that's ok. It may be their way of trying to tell you something. WHo knows but it occurs spontaneously and naturally. Do you disagree?

Obviously those arent very good comparisons because they arent nothing like it. Its a sexual preference and doesn't hurt anyone. Why do you hate them so much?

the reason that you are poor and living in a one-room renter is exceedingly obvious. you understand not one jot of the concept of responsible financial management. You spend today and complain tomorrow that you have nothing. that is why better managers than you (most people) actively save and invest for tomorrows expenses.

which part of these verses DON'T you understand ? Why are you so retarded to read basic English that even a primary school student would have no trouble understanding !!

Where do any of verses say to stockpile money or valuables ??

Quote:

Matthew 6:19

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 14:33

Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

Matthew 6:24

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.

Matthew 19:21

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Hebrews 13:5

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Phil 2:3

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Acts 2:44-45

All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.

stop quoting scripture if you are not willing to accept the entire message. you quote what you want out of context and then expect to be taken seriously.

Jesus was once asked questions not dissimilar to this and in reply posed them a question - which they refused to answer. His response was "since you refuse to answer My question then I will not answer yours"

ditto.

Hahahaha. What was the chapter and verse for that one longy?

SOB

Still waiting longy.

You know if you were in such a good position you wouldn't have to make up stuff

SOB

SO what IS like it then? Or is it unique yet uremarkable?

Nice graphic SOB. Perhaps you should heed your own advice. I have not seen anyone here try to do this as much as you.

But I still haven't seen you post a rational response to the fact that religious people donate more of their time and money to charity than atheists.

Have you provided any evidence for the proposition? Its prolly not even true.

SOB

Sure spot. We have been discussing the evidence with you in at least two other threads in the last few days. Have you forgotten already?

What threads? Threads i am not even participating in? WTF are you talking about?

SOB

I see you havent answered this freediver. Is that because you lied?

Bobby - it seems you have received many good honest answers here.

it's up to you if you accept them or not.

he wont. he only believes in the 'word of nail'

it makes he look rather silly.

Actually the quotes were from a website called evilbible.

It's a good site to counter Bible Bashers.

I don't think people could have built western civilisation while on opiates (not opium). The Greeks and the Romans were also religious, you will be surprised. Religion doesn't mean lotus eater.

Anyway, it is completely unremarkable that religion is a pacifier as far as it acts as an internalised set of standards shared by people. And all religions act like that - that's why they are called ... er... religion, a binding, a common belief.

The never ending list of religious wars tell me different.
