Religious moderates enable religious extremists

[Sword of Christ]

Did I say "had an effect?" No, because religion has disfigured human culture immensely in its time.

Human rights, equality, charities, care for the poor, hospitals, schools and the end of the slave trade are disfigurements are they? You think this is a disfigurement?



All the cultural achievements all the positive changes in human life? The art the music the literature? It's a disfigurement? Are you sure it's not bringing out the very best of human potential?

I said religion has not contributed anything of worth, and it demonstrably has not.

Demonstrably in your own imagined world that has nothing to do with real human history at all? Now yes some people have done some bad things in the name of religion but worse things were done for political and secular ideologies. Many of these ideologies were influenced by Darwinian science (fascism) and atheism (Communism) were talking millions of people killed. Everything considered religion has achieved more.

Yes, that's the exact dishonest tactic I would use if I was willing to be the same sick thief of achievement that your religion is, but I'm not, and unfortunately, I simply can't dissuade you people of the brainwashing that has led you to accept that your every worthy attribute and act should be devoured by this social bloodsucker called god.

Nope you have been brainwashed into believed that God/religion is a force for evil when in reality it has been quite the opposite.

So use your pointless poetic language; the reality of the situation is that any religious person that has done anything of worth would have been exactly as capable of those feats without their religion

Yes but why would you feel the need? You can see there is a a spark of something good within humanity and that something is God. You will find it in the human heart. I don't give shit if you think it's some kind of a myth the results speak for themselves.

, but they would have the added bonus of being able to properly enjoy their successes afterwards, without your christian fucking gargoyle hunched over their shoulder the entire time.

Eternally afterwards or for a few decades of life?

No, I'm not saying that because it hasn't personally affected me. I'm saying it because, despite what your religion says, people are fucking fantastic

Because they are made in Gods image and God is fucking fantastic. You think we're all just fucking machines!

, and each and every one of them has just as much potential without the bible, as they do with it, and each and every damn soul on this planet would have the same opportunities to realize it, without your church.

Because they achieved what they achieved through God regardless. Again it doesn't matter if you think God is a myth or doesn't exist and it doesn't matter what you think of the Church. You're not going to erase the good of humanity and turn us into machines. We are not machine we are the creations of God loved by God everyone with equal worth to God. Your man made ideology is literally nothing at all.

But please, keep putting words into my mouth: it's worked out amazingly well for you so far. Everyone is on your side!

Christ is triumphant over your false man made ideology, the fruits of God and his relationship to humanity and the good within the heart of humanity is clear even to you.
