You don't put ideas across with any clarity.
Religion in all of human history worldwide has lots of pretty stories of empathy and conquest, but no religion in the world has any patent on human behavior. There is no clarity in wishful thinking.
"I wish I wouldn't die", is what all humans think, and I don't want to die either. But I don't fool myself into thinking old mythology, holy books, holy people or fictional claims of spirits or deities or god/s are going to stop my finite existence.
But again, there is a way to access and personally verify what those old books claim that cost nothing. you do not have to physically go anywhere or do any thing.
why is that so off putting? Is it because it is old and has been right all of this time? does it mock what you believe? it would seem that way simply because you are trying to categorically stereotype everything into a small trivial collected bundle of obsolete beliefs without consideration or independant review.
Is that how you think or is that group think telling you that all of this is obsolete thinking?
What have you done to know this is a wish i would die mythos that surrounds itself with old books holy people and fictional claims?
Why having you mentioned the one thing I've been saying since the beginning here? that the bible places you infront of God IF you approach him on his terms in his way? (which again costs nothing and you do not have to go to a building to do things his way.)
To me if you want the truth of the matter and not just some platitude that group thinkers tell themselves to sound like they have research and found nothing that you would take God up on his terms.
