Life as a Deist

[Cinjin]

Not really addressing the point you made, but the statements you listed as facts are, in fact, not true.

Here's what we do know:
Not every religion works on the concept of eternal reward/punishment, especially the ones with reincarnation.

Not true. Even in reincarnation, there is great reward and punishment. Do your homework. There's a reason one can become a snail and that same person can live a hundred lives before becoming a king. That is reward and punishment.

A lot of well known religions are new and therefore do not have ancient writings.

There is a tiny percentage of the world's religions that are "new" (not a lot)and even most of those are based upon the actions or writing of events from hundreds to thousands of years ago. Do your homework.

Not every religion has a god. Buddhism and Jainism come to mind.

Most Buddhists consider nature to be their god and pray to it regularly. Also I never made claim that EVERY religion has a god. NEARLY all do though and making this distinction validates you how?

Quite a few of the popular religions do not require blood-sacrifice. Again, Buddhism and Jainism.

Religions are not gods. There are over 3000 plus gods ... you named 2 religions, both of which you made clear do not have gods. You have a non-point here. I'm sure you'll win a lot of atheists over here with your sharp defense of religion and how rare you think blood sacrifice is.

And finally, given that not every religion has a god, the last two statements wouldn't apply either.

Yes they apply aptly, but since you think all religions are very unique, I will digress and let you live your life with your head tucked safely up your ass.


Any more stupid irrelevant pointless nit picks for me?
