Quote:The biblical principle is what moulds our social structure.
Unfortunate is that somewhat true Fr0d0, in some places. Also if we look in history is your statement correct. That's why we had the crusades for an example, incvisition(if I spelled it right), book burning, witch hunting, massmurdering people with diffrent religion, militant missonry missions and so on.
So the biblical truth is that killing people is justified. If you look is it justified in the bible. Also stone people to death and such. Ignoring this and just take out the good parts isn't biblical truth. I don't know really want to go with biblical and religious truths. What is the truths about them Fr0d0?
I can easily say that your statmen that :
Quote:Religious truth sets the parameters for people to live fulfilled livesis false. You don't nead religion or religious truths to live fullfiled lives. Ridicilous statement. I haven't been needing it, people who have been atheist or non-religious all their lives haven't been needing it. Just pure crap coming from your side.
When it comes to Jesus so is that another thing. As, Michael Maher , do I of course agree with the christian philosohpy to take care of eachother and love other people. Who wouldn't agree with that? It's nearly the same message as Buddha for an example. I can agree with the philosophy but I don't agree with the religion or the religious view.
But again, if you explain what religious truth would that be helpful.
Because I don't get you really there. As I said is the bible full of things and messages. many is violent and intoelrant. Most is of course telling stories about diffrent devine events. But when it comes to deliviring mesages is there many of them, they encourage discremination, justifieing killing of others and so on, together with message of peace and harmony. As far as biblical truth is do I find it to be very contradicting.
To follow the bible and regard it as any truth is dangerous, and if not quite stupid since many of the things there is just plain silly in our modern world.
Religion and relgious is a illusion which people use to fill their lives with meaning. It might be a pleasent illusion, but it is still not the reality.
- Science is not trying to create an answer like religion, it tries to find an answer.
