I lost my Soul

[Brian37]

Yes, retarded is a very sad bit of the theist mindset.

Depression has good evolutionary explanations, a fact of life you reject.

Calling people retarded is the poisoning of the well that theists excel in, without even understanding.

Are you retarded... (NOT Withdrawn) It was an inside joke you self righteous moron.

Again not a GOD ISSUE Therefore no need to bring up evolution (that is why I asked if you were retarded because this is now the 3rd time in three posts I had to make that distinction)

I Called YOU retarded as a reflection of the diminished mental capacity you are showing to properly discern and engage in a timely and topical conversation.
It's still technical term

One that you seem to fit.

"Self righteous" is what the God of Abraham is as a character the way he is written, "Look at me look at me, I need constant attention, I will throw a fit if you don't at a minimum kiss my ass 1 day a week."

What kind of insecure brat needs 7 billion friends? What kind of insecure bully needs to threaten revenge if you don't kiss his ass?

Now here is where you stupidly will accuse the atheist of bigotry, when all it is is blasphemy. No different than if we both went to the same movie, you liked it, and I thought it sucked. 

Do you even care to understand how life worked even in polytheism back then? Even in polytheism, humans were widely ruled by local tribal royal families. You had your ruling class, governing class and warrior class and then subjects at the bottom. Unless you were part of the top of that society, you pretty much obeyed anyone above you. 

Even in polytheism, the mortality rate was far higher back then, so loyalty to your local ruler was far more of a demand to protect the survival of the local society. 

The tropes of the rulers success or failure or conquests were attributed to the divine world. Humans stupidly attributed their tribe's success to an authoritarian figure who had the blessings of entitlement of the divine world.

Your God character is not real, it is nothing more than a human projection reflecting the ruling family societies everyone lived under back then. There is no difference between the "divine entitlement" of the surrounding and prior polytheism and your monotheism, other than the number of deities believed in.

Yahweh the name was STOLEN by the splinter sect Hebrews, from Canaanite polytheism, in which Yahweh was a lesser god under the head GOD El as part of a divine family. The Hebrews did not magically find the right god, they simply concocted a new religion by elevating an old character from polytheism and vilified all the other deities and successfully marketed it.

The Jesus character and NT writers were doing no different. They incorporated the Jewish religion and concocted a hero character to draw people away from the old religion.

It still reflects a authoritarian family type ruler because that is what humans lived under back then. The God of Abraham is an authoritarian, not an elected official that can be removed from office like we have in the west today.
