Why is America so prudish? (might contain NSFW stuff?!)

People worshipped many things, doesn't disprove the Bible. Jews and Christians were the same until Jesus came and politics caused some people to hate and kill him (modern Jews), sorry you didn't know this.

What is there to prove about the Bible? Literally zero of it was contemporaneous with Jesus. The earliest parts of the New Testament were around 30-50 years after Jesus died. It's all historical fiction. Hope that helps.

The more you squirm the more it tightens. Despite your opinion that it can be disproved you are still here arguing that it can.

Ever consider going to school for a degree in women's studies?

That is a cool and normal opinion.

You do realize there's been thousands of religions in human history? Each one had it's time and once people became educated enough they threw them out. Why do you think your current religion will be any different? So yes, all religions fade over time. Eventually we will stop replacing religions and just get rid of them all together. They aren't necessary anymore. I think of religion like training wheels on a bike. Super important thing that got humanity started and provided some structure. But just like training wheels, religion is now an encumbrance that is only holding us back now that we know how to ride.

The thousand of religions has all led up to the supremacy of Christianity. One of the 10 commandments is that you do not worship other gods except the one high god. The Bible takes into account that other gods exist and have been worshipped. Christianity and the bible has thousands of years of debate building it up from the brightest of philosophers and thinkers throughout history. These aren’t a bunch of made up rules we follow for the hell of it.

It’s true Christianity didn’t always exist though. It started with the birth of Jesus and he became the reform of a religion that already existed, Judaism. Many sources talk about Jesus, even outside the Bible. Such as the Quran which celebrates Jesus not as the son of god but some sort of magic saint.

Will something replace Christianity? Christianity could shrink but the story of the Bible takes us right to the very end, Armageddon.

Religion let alone Christianity isn’t going anywhere. I promise you this. The Bible simply doesn’t change. It’s the word of god and thus infallible. If you think the Bible is wrong when you are reading it, odds are you need an adjustment to your perspective. And that’s another great thing about Christianity, it provides something stable when entities like media and scientists start getting bought off, wacky and pushing weird narratives on the public that are paid for.

The Bible is actually the best piece of evidence we have for a lot of history around that time period. We don’t have any other texts. Through the Bible we have recorded stories and histories of places we only have evidence of in ruins and fossils. Hope this helps you appreciate the Bible as the most important non fiction book to exist.

Consider this. Everyone worships something. If you don’t worship a higher power in God, what do you worship?

White Nationalism and Anti-Semitism, of course. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Okay, where’s your morality come from? Do you appeal to that at all or just don’t care?

Treating others the way I would want to be treated, mostly. Except for internet trolls and Nazis. Fuck them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hasn’t worked in history. The problem is people with these viewpoints eventually always get up their own asses about how righteous they are. And this viewpoint is all feel good until you have tough decisions to make and it’s simply a lot easier to commit atrocities, and this has been proven throughout history, if you don’t have a fear of god. Atheistic societies are largely awful and committed horrible horrible atrocities throughout history. People largely don’t want to live around them for a reason.

Would you like to live in a neighborhood with people that all have their own personal morality that is highly variable or a neighborhood where stealing and murdering is flatly a sin? I know which one I would choose.

You have no guiding light and you start getting arrogant that you know better than god. Sorry but there’s some things in this world that are beyond human understanding. Eventually we all have to surrender to the idea that we can’t know everything. Surrender your arrogance and surrender to some higher power.

So I’ll ask again now since you ceased answering before, what do you worship if not God? Is it your media? Money?
