I say that as an atheist, I said OMG when I found how much poo she can give daddy. My wife gets only the peepee diapers. daddy gets pate. It's an all natural product. That little bugger has even shotgunned daddy's face.
That little smiling demon always have a cry, just because I say " Sofia, No No!

At least convert if you're a secret fan? I do this for my God; so please don't use it for your shitty Imams !
Don't use it in your disgusting twelver propaganda; you missionary troll !
Please you copy-cat piece of trolling stink. Don't use ideas I wrote about in the past to preach your faith.
Have some dignity; Troll.

I'm not picking on him ! I hate picking on people or bullying them in the first place !
But I'm seeing what I'm writing getting repeated in a different context. His tone changed, and it began to become similar to what I presented and wrote, but in a different context. So I assumed.
I know he is a missionary; he declared it officially that he despises Sunni Muslims and he is here to gather followers for his stinky 12 Imams; read his faith to see how it promises blood for people; so I'm a little sensitive around his posts.
Which is very low and childish, and not an authentic thing to do if you respect your own intellectual mind. But I doubt he has any.
He posts spammy million posts and call it seeds !!. But it's my personal opinion above all

The Egyptian sky goddess was called Nut. I think they had the right idea.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

And I am finding everyone one of them emphasize on a way to perceive the Creator and know it exists.
There is not one remaining culture without a proof of God.
The Sky for example emphasized by some cultures as God, or Highest Heaven (they didn't use the word "God") but that word for the Creator, and talk about goodness with respect to levels of heavens. That is proof for those who reflect.
And the manifested in all signs, the "All" in some cultures, by which they see God in everything.
etc, etc,
One of the best is Native and their mythology of spirits in nature and animals, etc. They are all shown to be ways to God just as we are a way to God, and it was the natives who had Prophets teaching this and emphasizing this, though Quran touches on it, it was not the most emphasized thing in the Quran.
It is beautiful how essential truths remain in each culture....and those truths all remind and prove God.
No culture is without wisdom and no culture doesn't have a hue from the breaths of God.
Mystic, we say the same thing to you as we do Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists.
Of course religions exist, we don't deny the existence of any religion. We do however DOUBT our species perceptions of what they think is real.
Alpha Male here, and Catholic Lady would claim "wisdom" comes from the God of the bible. Jews would claim "wisdom" comes from the God of Yahweh. Hindus would claim "wisdom" comes from the Vedas and Baghavad Gita. Buddhists would claim that "wisdom" comes from Buddha.
The naturalist would claim that our curiosity for discovery is EVOLUTIONARY. The naturalist would say that our ability to be cruel or compassionate is also evolutionary. The naturalist would say that our ability to believe bad claims based on false perceptions is also explained by nature, not magic.
We don't doubt our fellow human's desire to want to do good and be good. We do see lots of good in our fellow humans. What we doubt is that good is coming out of old mythology, old books, or holy people. We see human behaviors as being in us, as individuals in our evolution.
You can certainly find stories of empathy and compassion in every religion, sure. But that does not mean there is a divine source handing it to humans. Our ability to be good and do good is not magic. You either do good or you don't.
There is not one nation friend or foe alike, that does not have hospitals or prisons. That says to me humans form groups to survive, and can be successful based on that mutual cooperation, but be totally wrong about where they think their success is coming from.
