I lost my Soul

[Drich]

"Self righteous" is what the God of Abraham is as a character the way he is written, "Look at me look at me, I need constant attention, I will throw a fit if you don't at a minimum kiss my ass 1 day a week."

Book Chapter and verse?? Not talking OT (as they did not have church they were commanded to rest/sleep not even walk but a short distance) Or do you not understand the difference between God found in the bible and traditional religious practices that mean nothing???

What kind of insecure brat needs 7 billion friends? What kind of insecure bully needs to threaten revenge if you don't kiss his ass?

Or what kind of Father would allow his children to be threaten and beaten unto death by the children of the enemy (not all belong to God sport)
without eternally seperating His kids from the evil ones if He could do so.

Now here is where you stupidly will accuse the atheist of bigotry, when all it is is blasphemy. No different than if we both went to the same movie, you liked it, and I thought it sucked. 

uh... no. who are you even speaking to? are you chanelling your father or something... try and stay on page and don't let you imagination read for you.

Do you even care to understand how life worked even in polytheism back then? Even in polytheism, humans were widely ruled by local tribal royal families. You had your ruling class, governing class and warrior class and then subjects at the bottom. Unless you were part of the top of that society, you pretty much obeyed anyone above you. 

Yeah... kinda spent 22 years studing "what went on back then." So yeah I have a mild intrest.

Even in polytheism, the mortality rate was far higher back then, so loyalty to your local ruler was far more of a demand to protect the survival of the local society.

 So? Maybe your understanding of how God works is wrong. Maybe Death is not a bad thing to the God of the bible, even if it is a punishment to your version of God. Why are we even talking about your version of God if we know He does not exist?

The tropes of the rulers success or failure or conquests were attributed to the divine world. Humans stupidly attributed their tribe's success to an authoritarian figure who had the blessings of entitlement of the divine world.

says someone who has never been in a place of certain death unless God did indeed step up.

Your God character is not real,

No, no.. You can only say your version of God is not real, you have yet to even accuratly identify the attributes of the God I worship and met. A God willing to greet anyone who were to seek Him on His terms.

it is nothing more than a human projection reflecting the ruling family societies everyone lived under back then.

And for me who grew up without either?

There is no difference between the "divine entitlement" of the surrounding and prior polytheism and your monotheism, other than the number of deities believed in.

citation please.

Yahweh the name was STOLEN by the splinter sect Hebrews, from Canaanite polytheism, in which Yahweh was a lesser god under the head GOD El as part of a divine family. The Hebrews did not magically find the right god, they simply concocted a new religion by elevating an old character from polytheism and vilified all the other deities and successfully marketed it.

Here's a neat little blow your arguement out of the water tid-bit. Yahweh is not the Hebrew deity's name. that is an approximation. as the hebrews never recorded His full name they always left out the vowels so in hebrew you have the letters YHWH, which corresponds to a YHWH found in Egyptian texts as well. which egypt was the genesis of the nation of israel

The Jesus character and NT writers were doing no different. They incorporated the Jewish religion and concocted a hero character to draw people away from the old religion.

very simple which makes it plausible. the problem.. why did Jesus take when so many other fasle prophets who were also martyred did not take?

It still reflects a authoritarian family type ruler because that is what humans lived under back then. The God of Abraham is an authoritarian, not an elected official that can be removed from office like we have in the west today.

No it reflects a theocracy with out want or need.

I don't need your fucking help or a fictional God's help. 

Do you need help from Allah or Vishnu when you feel down? 

Get a clue Drippy, our species was around long before your magic baby story, long before even any written religion or nation.

you got to be trolling me at this point.... I NEVER MENTIONED GOD AS A CURE
WTF are you talking about??

My problems are due to nature and life experiences and brain chemistry, not a man in white robe vs a guy in a red leotard.

If you want to believe that an old book of mythology has real powers to affect your life, and you want to believe it badly enough you will. But you are not going to sell that crap to me.

You might as well be trying to convince me if I just believed in "The Force" or Harry Potter, my depression will go away.
