the absurdities of religion

1 Name: Anonymous : 2015-01-24 14:13
Why do religious freaks refuse to admit the absurdities of their religion? Either they undertake mental gymnastics to justify why their "moral" religion supports slavery and racism or are so horribly bigoted they can't see the evil they are spewing. Also, while they refuse to admit any fault in their own religion, they are all too quick to jump on any other faith's faults. The hypocrisy and delusion is laughable.

Fun facts:

1. Christianity, Islam and Judaism basically all believe the same things and all endorse racism,sexism, homophobia, slavery and genocide.

2. Unless the Babylonian gods are divine, the basic morality taught by these religions was already being taught without god. Most people don't want themselves or those they care about killed, hurt or robbed.

3. There is little corroborating historical evidence jesus existed and none that he was magical. This is not to say jesus didn't exist, most historians acknowledge that Jesus was a real prophet. However, while most people don't have a historical record, someone who walked on water and made the blind see would have.

4. While Jesus had a good message, it was not original or particularly insightful. Love thy neighbor is common sense and was a common theme for prophets at the time.

5. Jesus did not renounce any part of the OT. Instead he endorsed it. Matthew 5:17-19

6. According to the bible Jesus's reason for becoming man was the fulfillment of the OT prophecy and the forgiveness of sins. Without the OT there is no need for Jesus to be made man. Also, without the OT virtually nothing is a sin since what are sins are found in the OT.

7. The bible codifies archaic morality of 2500 years ago. The fact that most Christians don't agree with the bible's teachings regarding slavery and women being property, speaks about mankind's ability to evolve morality and against religion's effectiveness at teaching it.

8. Christianity, Judaism and Islam all make scientific claims which have been disproven. All of these religions have a history of persecuting those who disprove these claims.
