God damn !

Religion is not a addiction it is a control factor they have killed,started wars,put families against each other in the name of something that does not exist they take from the poor lambs and live a luxurious life and pay no taxes

Cmon my invisible guy has way more credibility than your invisible guy.

This is such a misrepresentation of Christianity. Jesus didn't like "religion" either. His message was simple, love God and love others. Anything outside of that has been twisted and used by men for their own gain.

What would Jesus do?

 

[MP Kid]

Most people mix up faith and religion.
Faith is simple.... you have a personal belief in something.
Religion is typically “cult-ish”. Man forcing another man to live a certain way of life.

If you’re using words like Jesus and god it’s still religion and still just as insane.

Plus hedonism is working great.


Hail satan.

I disagree. Show me anything that Jesus taught that supports any of the bad things done in his name

I was looking at the picture of the "family" second illustration down in the article and couldn't help but notice Nobody had socks on...
Should I be concerned?

You bunch of heathens if you were women you would be burned at the stake.

Exactly my point. The Crusades were carried out under the name of Christianity, but it wasn't Christianity. Again......show me anything Jesus said that would condone the Crusades in any way.

I'm not here to argue, or try to "convert" anyone. Just pointing out that the article imho is completely false and misleading.

 

[Stg2Suby]

I'm not commenting whether or not Jesus promotes arson but this is a great tune

Some people need the thought of a loving god and eternal life to comfort their fears of mortality and some don't.

But regardless of which ideology you subscribe to both seem hard to believe. Either there is some almighty god or gods that have created everything we see including us, that we can't see or even prove exists. Or the universe started out as an infinitely small infinitely hot singularity that exploded into the universe, creating everything in it at the same time.

When I think about all this universe stuff... it starts making my head explode...then I drink some beer and forget about it. It’s better that way.

I pretty much gave up on the whole religion/ god thing when my 12 year old sister died...I was 11.

Well it's impossible to say that because people make chit up on a daily basis about jesus and god, I guess that's the advantage of it being able to suit their narrative.

I have nothing against the concept of religion, if people need something to believe in so be it as long as they keep it to themselves. My problem with it is it's caused the worst wars man has known, and in general the worst problems in the world. The world would be better off without religion. The bad it brings far outweighs the bit of good.

I'd also have to argue that the threat of eternal damnation has been used for centuries by the church to civilize society. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" kind of stuff.
