Sub-Saharan Africa is perfect for it to spread.
So what to say of those highly educated who have a religion, can they be cured of it, or is it incurable?
I can imagine a doctor saying. oops once in the head no way out...you're "Infected"...you should have been educated first. when's the last time you took your "eduvaccincation"? no no no..wrong age, you should have taken a higher dose

What makes human beings different from other living things? where did that feeling/reasoning to want to do good things for others come from? why do some do good and why do most don't? what drives us to want to do good? what happens if we don't do good for others? what happens if someone dies and we did not do anything about it? are you really a good person doing good deeds in your power? did you sell all you have and give it to those who have absolutely nothing? did you save someones life? what makes us a judge? Evolutionists believe that everything came from a big bang..if that explains the physical world then ...did reasoning, love, thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc, come as a result of a big bang too? Are there atoms in love? Can we measure good in degrees? (now that would be scientific) what is our standard for good? what if what's good for me is bad for you? What's our reference? -our feelings? other people's feelings? what's considered the norm? A Bible-believer may argue that most atheists do good because they are using the good that was put in them when they were created...as we all were created in His image, and those that do not do good chose to overlook the good that is in them. But who do we look to for the right answers? I'd like to think there are answers and that there is a purpose for my existence, and that there is a truth out there that I can grasp. People who really study the Bible know that the book is all about Love. Love that God has for people and Love that God wants us to have for each other. And through all that God has given us free will to choose and be on His side or not. The Old Testament in the Bible shows us how it was before God came down (Jesus Christ) to die and pay a price for sanctification and set things straight. All this education talk is funny to me...the more I learn the more that I realize that the instincts of the people who were created thousands of years before us were much sharper than ours. Our senses are blocked by all the noise around us. The ancients felt the spiritual world, and we can too if we want to...nope, not all the weird stories you hear can be explained by science...there is God and evil out there. I choose to be with God.
We do good things like all animals do good things for their species to survive and thrive. If anything, we're the most cruel species, ok? Every fucking animal is better than us in terms of goodness.
In general terms, you're claiming what millions of christians have claimed as one of their best arguments for God: We need morality to come from God.
1. No one who has read the bible would want that kind of morality to be our standard. Stoning children who don't obey, homosexuals and adulterers. What about slavery? Just slipped your fucking mind?
2. Many civilizations before (and outside) the bible knew that killing and stealing was wrong, thank you very much.
3. What the fuck does the bible teach us that we didn`t know?
Quote:What if...The Natural disasters were triple in number than they are...the hungry children are triple in number than they are now and the diseases are more severe and uncurable than they are now....what if God IS protecting us and we are seeing screenshots of what could really be?
Right, we don't really know...all we know that some say He is out there and is watching and helping and some like you say we're left alone and are actually surviving on our own with no help at all.
So he's already helping, but he's incapable of completely stopping these malevolent things he himself created?
Read my lips: Fuck your god. And the schizophrenia you're trying to promote.
Who said He is incapable? Things are as they are.. at least you are one step closer to the truth if you acknowledge that He created nature....but He still chooses to help us and reduce the ill. We are not alone.
