This was was after the reformation so their power to do hold scientific discovery back was very much diminished. Nothing in science disproves or suggest the non-existence of God of course something to stress factually.
Quote:Its funny how you discredit him when he is saying things that the church doesn't agree with....
The Church has to agree with him whether they like it or not he's the supreme authority of Gods Church on Earth founded in unbroken succession from St Peter who was given the keys to heaven by Jesus himself.
"Supreme authority", like Darth Vader?
You don't get the entire way the monotheistic god characters of the books of Abraham were written.
In realty, both polytheists and monotheists of antiquity had a hierarchy and fortune was falsely attributed to "the divine right of kings", so the gods they concocted reflected their own desires of success and immortality.
The lesser in those given societies, at best, were tolerated as long as they didn't upset the social order.
Sure your god is loving, as long as you kiss his ass. But just like a Mafia boss or dictator, one peep against him, and you get your ass barbecued.
And "heaven"? That is a another stupid concept. The Egyptians had their concepts of "afterlife". They had their heros who "ascended" to "glory" to "sit in judgment".
So what happens when you get to this cosmic utopia? You spend eternity saying "dude you are the best", doing nothing but that? I like complements myself when I do something someone appreciates, but I would get fucking annoyed if someone stalked me.
And what about the people you know left behind who didn't make it? If you do remember them up there, and feel pain, which any empathetic person would, how can it be called heaven? If you you cant feel that empathy then you are a monster. If your memory of pain is erased by God then you are a pawn, a lab rat, a programed bot, not human.
