Let's get the fact's straight

RE: Let's get the fact's straight
Knowledge from angels/other-worldy beings?  For better or for worse, whatever we have - we worked for with our own head and hands.  A person who dismisses the very real cost of our knowledge in favor of a fairy tale is unlikely to have anything brilliant to say about the direction we're heading in, and may have no business opining upon the subject in the first place.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You've just shut up a few mouths around here. I would name names, but you probably know who I'm talking about.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

I'll give you a hint... It's not because we are headed the right direction as a world wide community.
Here's another hint...
He showed that in fact, at least in the US, violent crime rate is actually dropping.

Satan may not have been the angels name responsable but evil was from the knowledge we attained from angels/ other worldly beings sent by God to teach us universal knowledge. They showed us shit that they weren't supposed to out of contempt and selfishness. Who said Christianity was original? It's not a fucking contest to see what's the hardest to believe. All religion is connected through principal at the very least. You have a problem with Christianity for some reason. Yeah, I'm gonna watch some video that is gonna try to discredit thousands of years of knowledge just because you have it out for Christ. That'll happen.

We are headed in the right direction as a species. Heck we are already trying to accomplish something that would have seem impossible years ago.
Humanity in whole has been through dark times and at this moment we are more peaceful now than we have been years ago. Exception of the religious
extremism of these days.. But in general we are better off now than back then what is the problem there is less issues to be had now than back then. Technology
and science filled the void were god of the gaps was and with science and technology the less religion and or beliefs in some sort of deity isn't needed. 
People used to pray to get well now modern medicine people get well no praying at all needed.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
