The Inheritance Of Bias by Roycemadeit(op):
.
.
Man is an embodiment of bias. We define ourselves through our experiences, circumstances, and influences. We inherit beliefs before we understand them, identities before we choose them, and loyalties before we learn to question them.

This bias begins with the individual, extends into the family, grows through clans and tribes, and eventually finds expression in nations. Every group wants to believe it is better than another. We celebrate our own achievements, ridicule the failures of outsiders, and excuse the misconduct of our own people.

“Humanity praises equality yet secretly seeks superiority.”

But nobody consciously chooses the circumstances of their birth. We simply arrive in a family, a tribe, a country, and often a religion. Why, then, do we defend these inherited identities as though their superiority were an established fact?


The accident of birth does not determine the worth of a person.

We all desire security, good health, peace, and the opportunity to live meaningful lives. Yet we manufacture differences to justify exclusion, exploitation, and sometimes violence against people whose only offence is belonging elsewhere.

Religion can become another instrument of division. How does a supposedly universal Creator become the champion of one group against the rest of humanity?

Imagine a father with ten children. He gives nine of them ice cream but leaves out the tenth, the child he supposedly loves so much. Instead of buying ice cream for the tenth child, he secretly tells him to kill his nine siblings and take their ice cream. The nine children know nothing about this supposed instruction. All they hear is their brother threatening to kill them unless they surrender their ice cream, claiming their father authorised him to do so.

The tenth child kills his siblings, takes their ice cream, and thanks his father for giving him the strength to defeat them. He then tells the story as a heroic victory made possible by his father's favour.

But what kind of father deprives one child, commands him to slaughter the others, and then deserves praise for helping him succeed? Does the act become moral simply because the alleged command came from their father, or because the surviving child insists that it did

A claim of divine authority does not eliminate the need for moral scrutiny.

“The gods of the powerful became familiar, while those of the defeated were forgotten.”

Religious ideas have travelled through migration, cultural exchange, political institutions, and conquest. Christianity existed in Africa long before European colonialism, but European imperial power and missionary activity helped transform religious landscapes across much of the continent. History forces us to ask how differently we might believe if the circumstances of conquest had been different.

Military power often functions as a new God. A nation's ability to threaten, invade, or retaliate can matter more than the moral arguments of those opposing it. The powerful can impose consequences; the weak may have little capacity to respond.

Yet victory proves strength, not righteousness. As my book reminds us:

The outcome of battle settles nothing of truth.

Perhaps humanity's greatest challenge is to stop confusing what we inherit with what deserves our allegiance. Our tribe is not necessarily superior, our religion is not true merely because we inherited it, and our nation is not righteous simply because it is ours. We did not choose where we began. We can, however, choose whether our inherited identities will remain boundaries around our humanity.

Another thrash production.

AI Overview
bias
/ˈbʌɪəs/
A bias is the stubborn, unreasonable attachment to one's own beliefs despite reasonable clear contrary evidence.

And despite that your thread shows that reasonable evidence and arguments have been given to counter your stubborn and unreasonable belief in attack of God and Christianity, yet here you are trying to attack Christianity by another route, and yet you are the one complaining about bias! 🤣🤣🤣

Meanwhile, every normal person who is free verifies and reverifies every information that they have been given before they believe on it. Nature always makes everyone do that which is why if an information is not True, it always fallable because it is falls.

And anyone who believes on it must follow it to fall when it is verified and tested. That is why you and all atheists and Muslims and pagans will always fall and will always fall because of your AntiGod and antichristian belief is a bias

.It's ridiculous how you think.

You don't even know how God came to be or how Christianity came to be, yet you're here calling my work “thrash production” and lecturing me about bias.

You accuse me of stubbornness while displaying the very intellectual stubbornness you're pretending to condemn. Nobody tests anything in what I wrote. You simply lack the comprehension to understand anything, and your response makes that painfully obvious.

I can only imagine how intellectually bankrupt someone must be to read an entire piece, understand so little of it, and still have the audacity to lecture the author.

Your comment is an embarrassment, and frankly, your ignorance would be less irritating if it weren't accompanied by so much arrogance. It's repulsive.

See, how you keep moving and changing post?
Is the topic about "how God came to be or how Christianity came to be"?

No!
Of which the Bible even answers and shows how Christianity came to be, so it is clear you were not thinking when you were making this thread

Further, the fact that you have made several new threads that have been thrashed for one fallt or the other and yet you made this new thread still containing thrashes, is clear evidence of your deficit intellectual facility and bias stubbornness.

And in further proof of your intellectual vacancy, it is apparent that you do not remember that even when we told children that "fire is hot, don't touch it"; they still touched because nature makes us verify every information we have been given.

So, it is clear from the beginning that the thread is again useless and stup.... just as the other threads you made have been.

Not to now talk about you accusing Christians of bias where you are the one doing all the bias!

So, it is you who embarrassed yourself, your antiGodism and Antichristianism will always bring yu shame and embarrassment as it has always done to others.
