Dantedasz: It is instructive that the only records of religious war are in relation to Abrahamic religions. |

LordReed: Good morning Lordreed, Are you saying it is only the Abrahamic religions that have gone to war over religion? Please can you clarify this point. Thank you. By the way I hope you found the selected praise and worship songs earlier posted to your taste? ![]() |
Re: Random Musings On Religion. by LordReed(m): 12:49pm On Jul 31, 2020 |
Dantedasz: Good morning. Sorry my post was a jumble of incomplete thoughts I have modified it. Yeah only the Abrahamic religions have gone to war over religion in any record I can find. I have even asked historians. I am gonna take my time to savour them, they look tasty, LoL |

joyandfaith: Which school were you taught that circle is the same as sphere. A circle is flat while a sphere is a 3-D object. Also, do you think the earth hs a top or a bottom? I can see that they said that your god dwells on the circle of the earth, lol. The earth is a sphere with no actual bottom or top, revolving around the sun. Is Jehovah your god so blind not to know that the earth is suspected or held by a force called the FORCE OF GRAVITY? But they said that it is suspended upon nothing, Lols. Even Hypatia knew that your god doesn't know that 'nothing' is something that hadn't been discovered by myopic religious gods like Jehovah and Allah. Read the Book of Hypatia to check this out. The rest of your banters are commonsense principles which even the cavemen knew right from time. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Imhotep, Asklepius, etc of ancient days who are not Christians knew right from time about germs and they even treated some of those stuffs. So what's the qualms about that? It only requires commonsense to know all those. 2 Likes 1 Share |

0temSapien: At the that time, your gods of science thought earth was flat and had no idea about water cycle but Bible put that in simple sentence that people would understand. Bible is not a scientific book. is that not amazing. Ancient medical doctors had little or no knowledge of germs and pathogens. Egyptians used such “remedies” as lizard blood, pelican dung, dead mice, urine, and moldy bread. Human as well as animal excrement was also commonly used in their medical procedures. The ancient Egyptians picked up a variety of parasites from the contaminated waters of the Nile River and its irrigation canals. Likewise, many infants in Egypt died of diarrhea and similar disorders caused by contaminated food. can u show any ancient book that touches matter of water cycle, earth being circle not flat and health matter? |

Christian's and Islamists are quick to warn you that you risk hell fire and everlasting punishment and torture unless you repent from what they term your evil ways. They want you to imbibe what they prescribe for you in their books of dogma so that you can go to heaven and recieve your reward of everlasting life or an uncountable number of virgins. Their books apply a carrot OR stick doctrine of obey our book and go to heaven OR disobey our book and roast in hell. Christian zealots are fond of saying it is better to believe their dogma and find out it is not true than NOT to believe their dogma and find out it is true and end up in hell. The also apply the trick of threatening you to imbibe their dogma because you will die sooner or later and find out their dogma is true. My simple point today is,DO YOU REALLY NEED A BOOK BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG? Are your morals determined by a shiny black book written gazillions of years ago or are they inherently scrolled to your DNA from birth? Do you need a book to tell you if it is right or wrong to kill or steal. Think about this ! From where comes your morality? 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Random Musings On Religion. by DrLiveLogic(m): 7:55am On Aug 01, 2020 |
Dantedasz: No. And god never told anyone they need a book to determine right and wrong. The conscience does that. And just as you believe in a conscience you can't see, it is possible to realise god without seeing him. The reason for giving laws is that laws on a paper are like a document that's untampered with. However, just like you are imperfect, and imperfection affects your memory, intelligence and all. So does your imperfection tamper with your conscience, hence the need for a document for universal reference |
Re: Random Musings On Religion. by Dantedasz(m): 8:40am On Aug 01, 2020 |
DrLiveLogic: So a book that degrades women,encourages rape,supports slavery,advocates death for witches,encourages genocide and mass murder on a grand scale,discriminates against entire civilisations and supports racism is your go to book for morality?? Give me a break.... ![]() 4 Likes 1 Share |

I stumbled upon this song while surfing YouTube which I do most of my leisure time. What struck me about the song is the simplicity of the lyrics but also the power in the message. Take a listen. SHELLEY SEGAL~I Don't believe in fairies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvKj6vqUTVY |

Re: Random Musings On Religion. by TheMadame(f): 6:43pm On Aug 01, 2020 |
Dantedasz: Education. Many of us attended missionary schools. Like I said don't throw away the baby with the bath water even if religion has its evident flaws that can mostly be attributed to the leadership. |
Re: Random Musings On Religion. by Dantedasz(m): 7:18pm On Aug 01, 2020 |
TheMadame: Were the mission schools free or fee paying? You need to read deeply on the role of the missionaries on under development of the various colonies. |

I find it amusing that religionists find love in quoting their books of dogma. If you are having a debate with a religionist,there is always a tendency for them to run and start quoting varied verses of their religious books,at most times relying on emotion and lack of logic. Despite the fact that at the sight of religion all sense of logic vanishes,religionists are logical and adept at quotations from their illogical books of dogma. As much as their books advocate misogyny, mass murder,slavery,abuse and discrimination,there are aspects of these books that advocate love,goodness and care towards others. My point simply is that majority of advocates of religion tend to subscribe to the former aspects rather than the latter. As such there is more tendency to tilt towards murder discrimination, wars,misogyny and attacks on homosexuality and assumed witches and wizards than the tendency doing any good towards others. 2 Likes |

Frank Turner,amazing artist! There are so many religions,sects and cults in the world,in fact there are over 4,000 known forms of religions. The funny fact is every religion and their adherents belive their sect is the best and the god of their religion is the ONE true god and all other gods are fake and not true religions. It is amusing to note that adherents of each religion belive their god is the true god and because of this god they are ready to go to war to defend their god,they are ready to kill others for this god in fact in extreme cases some of them are ready to kill themselves in order to defend this god. Cultures,civilisations.books,citadels of learning and education have been wiped out throughout the centuries for the adherents of religion to propagate their dogma. The funniest aspect of all this rubbish is that the Catholics despise the pentecostal and together they despise the Muslims. Among the Muslims the shittes can't stand the sunni,the sunni cannot stand the ahmadiyya,the sufi despise the zaidi. The Mormons can't stand the scientologists and the jehovahs, and above all the practitioners of African traditional religion believe all these Abrahamic religions are bunkum. If there really is a all powerful god why wouldn't he point mankind in the direction of the one true religion instead of this cacophony of confusion that currently exists. 2 Likes |

The following video is a long one. You need to have enough data to watch it to the end. Then you ponder: Why do things like this happen? Why would misguided people do this kind of thing to propagate their religious beliefs and finally if there is an Almighty omnipotent and omniscient creator,why would he/she allow this to happen to his creations??

Religion is regional. It therefore follows that when a person is born he adopts the religion of the place where he/she is born, or in other words you adopt the religion of your parents /guardian whom you live with. In most cases you are not given any choice, you are force fed religion. In other words you are indoctrinated from birth. This is the dictatorship of religion. So if you are born in Saudi Arabia it naturally follows that you become an Islamist /Muslim. If you are born in Italy it follows that you probably end up as a Christian. In your household, if your parents are Jews you would most likely end up in Judaism. You are not consulted, you are just indoctrinated. From the home to the schools to the religious houses you are bombarded with religion on a daily. You are being brainwashed! The shackles of religion are very tight and you are assaulted everyday with symbols of religion of all faiths. When you want to fill any government forms you are asked what religion you belong to? In the courts you are expected to swear a religious oath. The symbols and cacaphony of religion stare back at you and assault your senses from every street corner. The books and pamphlets of religions are all over the place to keep you permanently brain washed all your life. If you get married there is a big chance you have to do it in a religious house and when you finally die before being placed 6 feet in the ground a representative of religion performs the last rite. The indoctrination is deep, such that if you attempt to break free from the chains of religion, you are viewed as an odd personality. It is like being imprisoned by religious shackles. In fact in some climes, if you try to break free from your religious chains you could be KILLED! It is that deep. In fact for some people the indoctrination is so deep that they don't even understand that religion has imprisoned them. It takes a lot of effort to escape from religion but you can do it. This is why occasionally when I have spare time I write these little threads so that someone somewhere will read it and probably begin to think deeply and carefully. 2 Likes |
