it starts at the church any normal sane non delusional person will loose their will of non belief and self worth.
it is because subtle physiological programming the church and preacher uses.you are told you are a literal piece of
shit and trash in the eyes of god and you must repent and accept jesus.
Quote:now when you are ready toJesus certainly existed, as a man.
learn about jesus and how he died for your sins... no he didn't he died for the Israelites not you in particular also
the guy didn't really exist.
Quote:now the parts you wont learn and will be skipped over, slavery, rape, pedophilia, murder, genocide, etc is okay becauseNowhere in the Christian bible is either rape or paedophilia condoned.
god favors evil, which contradictions that he loves good.
Quote:-brief note.Incorrect yet again. The 6th century B.C. (which is when most sceptically thinking scholars believe the O.T. to be written) - was written at a time of widespread literacy among the Jews.
if you are christian you do realize that the bible was intended for the dumb and illiterate, also the enslaved and also for the rich.
The N.T. was also written in a time of high literacy rates.
Quote:it was for people to give up their rational way of thinking and wealth to the church so in turn the church would have power.Incorrect. The Church later used it for that purpose; and the O.T. would not have been used for that purpose, it's more likely the O.T. was used for unity.
At least get your facts straight.
