You don’t have to actively see something in order to debate its existence. Your reasoning is extremely flawed. By your logic Newton’s theory of gravity should of been tossed out in the pre 20th century.
No, because Newton's theory of gravity has a real basis and has been proven. I wouldn't believe in Newton's theories if they weren't applied in class, that's how you understand them.
Because they are brainwashed by the government. Christianity is exploding in China and the CCP will soon fall.
Chinese traditional religions still have a massive influence on China alongside other religions and if the Chinese government’s suppression of info is anything to go off of, China likely does not have a suicide rate lower than the US’s. Especially with their neighbours (like SK and Japan) being rife with suicide
So what do you do for fun? I don't play video games. I have a social circle I do fun shit with. It's beneficial in the long run.
to each their own man
exactly
Again, you can’t speak about IQ if these are the arguments you’re going to make.
But Japan does have a suicide forest
OK, let's take your perspective and say a higher power truly %100 exists. Why is your religion the one to follow, compared to other religions? What makes Islam the one true religion? Can you prove it?
I’m not muslim. Even for that, you have to weigh events in the holy book you’re reading and compare them to historical records. You also have to see the culture at the time of it being recorded and the necessity of the events happening compared to it being metaphorical, etc. It’s a long process
It's manmade. There's no definitive proof of it being real, and no possibility of proving it.
Because the Chinese literally alter the Bible to make it look bananas. And aren't churches heavily suppressed, and the ones open are controlled by the government?
Religion is good in that it brings people together but I'd say multiracial societies, degeneracy and jewish shit is probably what caused the world to be shit. Not lack of religion.
Lol the Bible literally has more supporting evidence than any other book on Earth.
Lack of religion does created degeneracy, you can't be an atheist and moral.
Like? All the evidence I read was nothing but mental gymnastics.
Yes, you can. Ever heard of a conscience?
You obviously have terrible reading comprehension. I said Newton’s laws of gravity can be currently proven, but weren’t able to be proven under your standards of evidence back in the 17th century. Jfl
Ancient Manuscripts, Roman texts, archaeology, etc
I don't think it's true. I can see why it is based, but it has many flaws for all it's good.
You can't. I'm sure you lie, gossip and blaspheme without thinking twice. You probably lust after women too, which is adultery.
Where's the proof that they are not? I'm trying to disprove something that has no physical evidence, you should be the one giving me proof to dispute.
What do you think a conscience is developed by? Do you think people have a moral code from birth? Jfl if you deny the cultural / environmental influences on somebodies conscience. A child born in abject poverty will nine times out of 10 not have the same conscience as somebody born into a luxurious lifestyle.
Amen, this is a good argument against subjective morality
So being a living organism is immoral? Noted. Will make sure to not look at the opposite sex and not lie when I'm in danger to save my life.
It's a given that if you are born a human you have sinned at least once in your life, which is immoral. And point proven, you think lying and adultery aren't bad.
Yes, simple things like not killing other fellow human beings are hardwired into our DNA. A conscience is individual, but a religion will not change it. You can cope all you want, but just know: You're wrong.
The proof has to be found in their holy books. It’s impossible for me to make arguments for every single religion on the planet. My argument is that you can’t make sweeping assertions and expect others to accept them as fact.
Sinned according to who? Why am I a bad person if I was created this way? Sounds a bit like a riddle.
You got it wrong. It's not the thought of being burned for eternity. It's the belief that all of this is a "test". That all your sufferment is gonna be compensated someday, or in the after life. That all the stupid things you're wasting your life with are worth a damn shit before the eyes of God.
Yes. History COULD BE a lie. What is in the past can't be proven 100%, even if it were written on a book. I can write a legend I made up in 10 minutes and leave it for someone to find. They'd be stupid to take it as irrefutable proof.
Except it’s not. Not killing a human for no reason is hardwired into our DNA but the reasons that can be used as justification for killing somebody varies from person to person based on background and culture, which is influenced by religion.
"All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God" The Bible says we are all self centered evil people at heart. You have lied, stolen, blasphemed, cursed, gossipsed, been greedy, have committed adultery, murdered (the Bible says if you call your brother a fool you have murdered at heart), been prideful and probably fornicated. There is much more.
It's within their own people. Where's the degeneracy? Having sex is bad now?
JFL imagine believing we're nothing but horny monkeys.
