Did I say "had an effect?" No, because religion has disfigured human culture immensely in its time. I said religion has not contributed anything of worth, and it demonstrably has not.
Quote:Religious people are the religion, as C.S Lewis describes it to be a Christian is to be a cell in the body of Christ.
Yes, that's the exact dishonest tactic I would use if I was willing to be the same sick thief of achievement that your religion is, but I'm not, and unfortunately, I simply can't dissuade you people of the brainwashing that has led you to accept that your every worthy attribute and act should be devoured by this social bloodsucker called god.
So use your pointless poetic language; the reality of the situation is that any religious person that has done anything of worth would have been exactly as capable of those feats without their religion, but they would have the added bonus of being able to properly enjoy their successes afterwards, without your christian fucking gargoyle hunched over their shoulder the entire time.
Quote:So the claim of the existence and love of God and our eternal salvation never profoundly effected anyone's life in any way at all because it didn't effect yourself? But even on the purely cultural level it's like saying the plays of Shakespeare didn't impact our society.
No, I'm not saying that because it hasn't personally affected me. I'm saying it because, despite what your religion says, people are fucking fantastic, and each and every one of them has just as much potential without the bible, as they do with it, and each and every damn soul on this planet would have the same opportunities to realize it, without your church.
But please, keep putting words into my mouth: it's worked out amazingly well for you so far. Everyone is on your side!
