If you just say "Amen! Sing it brother!" this will not be persuasive.

Much as a blind man uses a lamp post, for support, not illumination.

Have you decided not to answer my questions with any argument or reasons?

Quote:The Christian church near my house (here in Japan) has a charity program for homeless people. They give food coupons and tickets to the public baths. They coordinate with city and prefectural agencies to make sure that all health and assistance programs are being used. They do the paperwork, if necessary. Real people benefit. Nothing is asked in return. 

Would you argue that this charity is fake? If people give their time and money, and suffering is relieved, isn't it real?
Charity with an ideology attached isn't charity 


Quote:What is your argument for saying that practical help for living people, in this world, is based on misanthropy? Wouldn't you have to see into the private motivations of people in a different hemisphere for you to reach this conclusion?
It mot certainly is and no we don't need mind reading to conclude this

Simple.   When you strip away all the bullshit and deceit, all the opportunism and manipulation, all the determination to exploit and dominate,  all the fake charity and real callous cruelty, when everything that Christianity (or Islam, or whatever) has acquired down the years to further its own aggrandizement is stripped away, and we are left with but one single underlying attitude that made Christianity possible in the first place and allow it to blight humanity ever since.   What would that attitude be?


It is misanthropy.    It is the gnawing contempt for fellow men and flowing from that a conviction that mere men could not deserve full credit for his capabilities and achievements.

Every time when the non-existent and therefore do-nothing God is thanked,  deserving men in the quick who made the gratitude appropriate is needlessly slighted and insulted, all to further the underlying misanthropy of that contemptible cult.
Truth


the universe is actually doing everything.  The universe is doing you.  basically, the volume of space/time that I am looking at when I am talking to you is the universe talking to  itself ... lmao ... that sounds funny, but its true so there is nothing I can do to make it a better claim.

when the traits of god line up to the traits of the universe I will be likely to listen to the claims.
