    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    If everything has a creator, then you have infinite regress. Your creator must also have a creator, and if it doesn’t you must show why and not simply complain “because it doesn’t need one”. Because if that’s true, then we can say it about the universe as well-that it doesn’t need one. If...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    You cannot defend fascism with accusations of cultural Marxism.

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    You don’t defend freedom let alone know what communism actually is…like most fascists. Your kind cannot keep their noses out of other people’s sex lives and what they do with their own bodies. America was founded on liberal and rebellious thinking. The pilgrims were religious refugees, the...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    This is based on the premise that the universe is a creation. The universe doesn’t necessarily need a creator just because you want it to make sense to you. We also know that not all ‘creations’ have a creator such as a chemical reaction where molecules turn into something else. It could very...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    Complexity and beauty of life is not direct evidence of a god. Life also has many disgusting aspects to it which no one brings up due to bias.

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    “Cultural Marxism” is a right wing conspiracy theory. Lay off the Fox News for a bit, they already lost an $800 million lawsuit for more or less lying.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    I can’t reason with someone who lacks critical thinking. You’re an extremely intellectually dishonest theists (as most are). I showed you data that scientists don’t believe in a god as much as the general population does and you tried moving the goal posts and relying on mental gymnastics to...

    Bible is finally banned in Utah elementary/middle schools for vulgarity and violence!

    https://apnews.com/article/book-ban-school-library-bible-fc025c8ccf30e955aaf0b0ee1899608a A parent complained that it wasn’t age appropriate for kids. I agree. It is filled with genocide, incest, and infanticide (story of Lot, anyone?). Another win for modern, secular society. Kids need to be...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    It’s a slippery slope with more educated people who believe in God because their belief in God could lead to the fallacy of appealing to authority. “They’re educated and believe in God, therefore God exists.” This isn’t necessarily the case.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    So many logical fallacies here. Education doesn’t directly lead people away from God, but instead fosters critical thinking so they can question things more. Now you’re back peddling that in fact, you do believe religious people are less educated. Ok. You then mentioned that colleges have a...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    Psychopaths and sociopaths have no problem when it comes to rationalizing any feelings of guilt they may have. Your emotions have as much power as you give them. If a Muslim was to tell you to ask Allah for forgiveness, you would probably scoff at it. This is how atheists see it when a Christian...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    This is a futile attempt to deflect from the meta analysis that there is a negative relationship between intelligence and religiosity. No survey disproved any position either. You won’t admit that religiosity is linked to lower education. You deflect and dodge about how it’s only a moot point...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    It’s a false premise to assume that being more educated means more religious due to more educated scientists believing in God than not. I just provided a link to a meta analysis on 63 studies showing a flat out negative relationship between religiosity and intelligence. Forget scientists, forget...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    The article says nothing about deism. Now you say you’re not a liar, just didn’t read the link. And I’m the one jumping to conclusions? Come on. Since you want to focus solely on more scientists believing in God than not, here is a meta analysis of 63 studies showing a negative relationship...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    You’re lying. The source says nothing about scientists being educated. Also, you didn’t read this part: “More than 80 years later, Edward Larson, a historian of science then teaching at the University of Georgia, recreated Leuba’s survey, asking the same number of scientists the exact same...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    After Reagan left office, Bush picked up where Republican hypocrisy left off. The terrorist attacks on 911 gave the Republicans a golden opportunity to massively increase the powers of the state, all in the name of counter-terrorism. Just over a month after 911, Bush signed into law the Patriot...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    Republicans have historically had no issue embracing big government, so long as it fulfills their political ambitions and ideological preferences. Take for example the death penalty, abortion, gay marriage, the police state, etc. Sure, Democrats have little problem embracing big or small...

    Some Christians are more Christian than other Christians.
