Maximus69: So nobody decides for him but JEHOVAH! This is an untruth Max. You yourself detailed how you "inculcated Jehovah's principles in his/her heart" before the "child is eighteen years of age", so the child will not "be solely responsible for whatever decision he/she makes at that point in time!" That's not to say one should not inculcate Jehovah's principles in his/her heart, just that it's not correct to then say it was "Jehova who decided for him". You, as a responsible parent, did. And it is you who is responsible for your child until it is eighteen. |

OtemAtum: I have never claimed to be an atheist and i don't worship Atum either. Atum does not like worship and this New Age era is not a time where humans should be worshipping people up and down. It is for scientific purposes either. Just that it was Atum who began the revelation of truth to me, that's all.
The three golden rules are:
1. Use your brain 2. Worship no god/God 3. Do good to humanity |

garetz: The bailout is essentially for the common Americans working in all those industries who no longer have to worry about losing their jobs. Except that whatever is done, American workers are going to lose their jobs because the companies that needed them will not need them for a while. That's why the initial part of the bailout should be for those people, and not for the companies. |

I love how you failed to provide a source for this. garetz: Families and businesses need help now to survive the China virus pandemic. But Speaker Pelosi walked away from negotiations to write her own bill, full of absurd provisions completely unrelated to the crisis at hand. Here’s what Speaker Pelosi is demanding while Americans suffer:
1. Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards at companies receiving assistance 2. Bailing out all current debt of postal service 3. Required early voting (WTF has this to do with the virus ) 4. Required same day voter registration  5. 10k bailout for student loans
6. For companies accepting assistance, 1/3 of board members must be chosen by workers
7. Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining
8. Full offset of airline emissions by 2025
9. Greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
The Democrats see an opportunity in this crisis. Not to help the American people, but to hold an emergency relief bill hostage until they get their radical wish list. |

obixcel: The Do-nothing DemoRATS in the Senate have struck again, they just blocked over a Trillion Dollar CCP Stimulus package meant to ease the pain on the American people caused by the pandemic. The Republican package as currently laid out, is not to "ease the pain on the American people", but to ease the pain on corporate America! Instead of socialism for the people, it is socialism for the wealthy who own corporate America. |

FOLYKAZE: The mechanism of the universe according to the book of Joshua, is that the Sun moves round the earth, and Joshua purportedly commanded the sun to stop moving. This negates new findings which reveal otherwise that the Earth revolve the Sun. Galileo was killed for unravelling the truth That was the understanding according to Joshua. We evolved into Galileo. Who was treated like we treated Christ who also taught advanced knowledge like Galileo taught and who was also killed. Plato rightly described this, human attitude to newness, in his cave allegory, but it seems we have not quite yet caught up to understand, and instead of blaming ourselves for our ignorance and slowness in the evolution of our understanding, you blame "church" and Joshua. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Historicity Of The Bible And Justification Of Christian Faith by budaatum: 2:08pm On Mar 24, 2020 |
FOLYKAZE: The church if acted as a 'parent who did not know better at that time' still kept the arcade and pseudo-knowledge till date when information reign.
If church was a good parent, it would have updated bible based knowledge and evolve with time when reality has shown most of the accounts in the bible is fiction. At that, the whole belief system should be handled as tale, instead of reality.
The church was more interested in extorting it children and subduing them with illusion of hope You mistake "church" for the people who run some of them. Same way most judge God by God worshippers. And you are a literalist. And you think "believe" is the only possible way to reason and understand. It was the same "church" that built most of the early schools and taught people to consume data. And those who actually read their Bibles realise that each book is an update on the previous book, and the understanding of God evolves from book to book. It is a lesson of the Bible to evolve. Its a lesson of the universe even. Even God did, into Jesus, and eventually into what many call the Holy Spirit. And the hope you call false is that things will get better for you if you accept "Christ" the Word into your life, which in evolved language means, 'if you learn', though literalist you would likely miss that point though you know it to be true. But its a very slow and often missed process that happens over generations. Your forefathers would be amazed at how far we have come. |

FOLYKAZE: We read about how the church exterminate the apostates, mostly those who have contrary view against the church and/or hold opinions that negate the bible or divinities The church acted like parents who did not know better at the time, and mature children find ways to forgive their parents of the errors of the past. Besides, we also read how the church created an environment for those contrary views and opinions to exist in the first place. If they had not promoted an increase in reading (a major way of consuming information), we'd likely be much dumber today. |

FOLYKAZE: Right from inception, the populace always want an explanation and want to relate with the universe. Religion creates a bogeyman, and most likely skydaddy, to explain off the enquiries of the masses. That's your opinion, which I'm afraid I can't share. Religion was in fact an attempt to share "knowledge of the mechanism of universe". Genesis 1 is sufficient proof of this. The only error is that religions start with Primary 1 lessons where the essence is believe. You might see this stage as learning ABC by rote. Some grow out of Primary 1 to higher classes where they learn to make words and sentences and paragraphs.

FOLYKAZE: Wow. How the church could hide the secret for 2 millennium for more than 20 billions people is what I don't understand. The Church did not so much hide it. It's the people who are not yet ready to understand. Besides, its not as if there was lots of people teaching a worthy alternative to what the church taught, until now. In fact, I think if the church had not done its bit we'd be much worse off. |

LordReed: Ideally more information should lead to more understanding, yes? Its a tricky one my Lord. One should expect more information to increase understanding, but the correlation isn't so straightforward. People may choose to believe the "more information" instead of understanding it. You might see this playing out in the sciences in Nigeria where we believe in Physics and Chemistry but have limited understanding of it and thereby make little use of it. I think there's a point where contradictions inherent in information cause conflict. Like you must have found, one wonders and questions more as the contradictions increase, and a resolution of the conflicts of those contradictions cause understanding. Hard though when those in the cave have little access to outside information. So, we brought to them the Bible and the Quran to increase their information, and we built schools to grow the ability to understand. And that was Phase 1. Phase 2 is learning to understand, and Phase 3 is converting understanding into usable wisdom. Guess I should just post the God version since its much more understandable.

LordReed: It's a real wonder. I am sure the lack of access to information played a huge role. Now people are getting access to more and more information, its getting harder to justify a lot of these beliefs. Now more people are gaining an understanding, you mean.
