I say again: not one word of any scripture was written by the G_d described within. Every word was written by human males with earthly needs for shelter and food. "King James Version"

Sorry. Typo I was supporting "If you dont support abortion rights... then a person should read Numbers Chapter 5 Verse 11. In there, it gives a process and recipe to get the Priest to perform an abortion / cause a miscarriage. Abortion isn't opposed in the Bible.

Hey George - are you an active atheist in real life? It isn't yet as urgent here in the UK as it is in USA. If any believers wonder why atheists are active - watch last Sunday's Jubilee with Medi Hassan. The filthiest and most vile people were super clear in explaining their views. Terrifying.

Happy Friday Cotswoldy Haven't seen that broadcast but frankly, I'm not surprised. It's understandable that 11-year-olds in adult bodies are gullible enough to accept mythology without question.

Yip. I think Jesus was a guy. Went preaching "the end of the world is nigh" he said it many times. "The world will end before you die". As it didn't happen, the New Testament explains all of the fudges and twists because he was wrong but he was quite compelling. People like Paul made the rest up.

I actually am gnostic: I can prove a creator to any rational mind, tho I won't bother you with it, primarily bcz it is considered good form worth rewarding to aspire to omniscience voluntarily. If there is an "omniscience", I suggest one look to "all science" for evidence. #DoTheObvious I sez.

Sounds like a claim to know the unknown. I really doubt it you could do what you say. But that's probably just proof I am not ready yet. Does this creator interact with us in any measurable, significant way? If all it did was spit, fart, wish,speak this universe into life and split, Who cares?

> unknown Opposite: it's obvious, but there's food and gold in pretending it's mysterious. Short answer is a parallel "spirit" (think: platonic forms) universe that tends towards (about 2/3) and rewards "good" in 7+ dimensions. Current events raises doubts lol, but it's just garbage collection.

Definitely agree on obvious and a good con in faking it's mysterious. It's obvious we evolved on this insignificant, significantly bombarded, little rock that managed to collect water/air for a terrarium. It's obvious it's a violent, bloodthirsty system Spirits,gods, parallel goodness? Not so much

I should add that my beliefs are wholly non-denominational: very little in pop religion or spirituality matches any evidence I have. But yes: it/we are intelligent by *choice* and that's how we *stop* the violence. We can unlearn "evil" and get our Garden back, so to speak. 1/2

Ex: I'm garden-esque "innocent" literally: I commit no crimes, break no commandments, practice the virtues. The opposite is also observable, in the churches and in government, and the more they want their sin the worse THEY get, but not me. And note they want god powers but hate science. Lol. :)

I would be really curious for the evidence you have for what you believe. But So far the what seems very "cool story bro" I'm also curious about how you know this. Followed by the why should I believe it Commandments,sin are like the term blasphemy to me. Tools they use that I don't acknowledge

I won't belabor it, in short: observing natural things like Pi, the periodic table, and orbital mechanics reveal (to my mind) what might be described as "one long joke". I asked "if there is omniscience", then went looking where I thought most likely to find it: science. Fine-tuned universe theory

I have much to say later about the idea that our local area is fine tuned for us. But Douglas Adams and Sean Carroll easily handle the idea that the universe is in any way fine tuned for us. With one universe to observe our data points are weak. For all we know the constants are linked together.
