Topic: Christianity is Poison - page 49. (Read 52590 times)

not just christians all religion mention above is poison to humanity making believe that dont exist and no scientific explanation.

All Abrahamic religions believes in salvation of soul and Indian religions like hinduism, jainism, buddhism, sikhism believe in liberation from circle of re-birth. Every religion has it's own belief. But all of them want people to stay away from sins not to commit them.

Yeah religion surely poison to society before there was no religion everyone brain is in order now its not even functioning.

A very good read I must say,  makes perfect sense http://www.alternet.org/story/154774/the_top_10_reasons_i_don't_believe_in_god

You are one to talk about "I know, trust me confirmation"... you keep making claims that I've never even heard another Christian make, without anything to back it up... I have provided numerous links and bible quotes to back up every claim I have made

There's quite a few disagreements in various branches/sects of Christianity, however, the fact that it is overwritten by the New Testament in terms of morality is the primary difference between Judaism and Christianity. There are, however, sects or fundamentalists of certain branches that believe otherwise. It's general consensus, not absolute.

Which I thoroughly disagree with and actually find agnostic atheism with basic morality as governed by the current civilized society better than the extremely fundamental Christianity. So I don't think there's a disagreement on this point.

Summary of general moral values, not only meant for the time. It's supposed to strip out the cultural and societal structures at the time and get to the core of what the religion (before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, because after said event the New Testament becomes THE document for the morality in the Christian religion) teaches.

Such a compelling argument with tons of proof /sarcasm. In all seriousness, if you think I'm "not worthy of" your time, feel free to stop responding rather than continuing to scream and shout, while tripping over your own logical fallacies and evidence-less (as well as sourceless) claims that seem to be primarily backed by the "I know, trust me" confirmation.

Complete nonsense... General consensus?!?  Where do you get that idea?  Have you met other Christians before?  There is no consensus about anything... Ever heard of a Fundamentalist?  They take the bible literally... they absolutely believe the old testament is 100% literal, no metaphors at all...

Who are you to decide what verses God meant to be literal vs metaphor?  How do you claim any of it is metaphor?  Do you speak for God?  God writes literally, he does not claim anything is a metaphor in the entire bible... if you think it's a metaphor, that is your personal interpretation and you do not speak for God or all Christians... sorry...


Also complete nonsense... Do you seriously believe the 10-commandments are a summary of the entire Old Testament law?!?!?  WTF do you get this crazy bullshit that no other Christian has ever said?

Have you read the Old Testament?  Are you familiar with the 613 laws?  And you think the 10-commandments are a summary of the 613 laws?!?  NO... NO... If you make me prove this to you... fuck you... you don't know shit and are not worthy of my time

Yeah, sounds exactly like the 10-commandments...

The purpose of the Jewish religion is the same as that of the Christian religion. What is this purpose? It is salvation of the soul, so that people can live in the next life, forever, rather than die for eternity.

Matthew 22:34-40:
Notice the part, "All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Essentially what Jesus was saying with this part is that there is no obedience of the Law without love of God and love of your neighbor. The jots and tittles are held in place by love.

I am not a Christian but I believe in God. In fact , all the religions do. Purpose of religion is to stop people from doing misdeeds but some people in past (who call themselves as preacher) have manipulated religions and has made it ugly.

We all know that it is not possible for a perfect universe to come out of an accidental mishap, even scientists are starting to agree that indeed there is an intelligence behind creation. The theory of evolution is losing steam, someone intelligent created you, so the question is who do you think that is?

The problem is that they think they are "true Christians", and present themselves as such.

Religions including Christianity can be used for good and many time it is.  Unfortunately there are many that use religion for evil.  In the case of Christianity, those that use the Bible to hurt others or judge others are probably not true Christians.

 

I'd have to disagree:

As metaphors for creation of the universal system (governed by the laws of physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) and a conscious species within said system, the downfall due to conscious species' inability to control itself and then the humanity's search for purpose.

I never claimed that. I believe that part of it was either lost as history progressed (there isn't an original copy in existence, just a bunch of early copies) or lost in translation as it went through numerous people with different cultural backgrounds.
The general consensus seems that it is not to be used for moral purposes , but more as a "prophecy" that was already fullfilled.

Also, in terms of the 10 commandments:

Acts 15:19-21:
Who were the Torah laws given to? The Egyptians? No, no, no. The Babylonians? No, no, no. The Persians? No, no, no. The Christians? No, no, no. The Jews? Yes, yes, yes.

Do the laws change, that is, is a jot or tittle dropped from the law when it is not obeyed? No, no, no.

"Christian" is talking about a person who has aligned himself with Jesus, the Christ. If we love Him, we will do what He says. His command is that we love one another. After all, even though the Law stands unchanged throughout the rest of this age, Jesus has overcome the Law. Salvation is by faith in Jesus. And salvation is the important thing.

That's the dumbest argument christians have ever made...

This whole notion of the New Testament overwriting the Old Testament is complete horseshit nonsense that is not supported anywhere in the bible or dogma of christianity

You cannot possibly say you believe the creation story, flood, exodus, and 10-commandments are 100% true and accurate, but the other 603 commandments in the Old Testament don't count... that's bullshit cherry-picking to the extreme

Besides, Jesus himself said, "Not a jot or tittle of the Law will change until I return" (speaking of Mosaic law, the Old Testament laws!)

That's Old Testament. When referring to the Christian bible, the New Testament is implied. The Old Testament was meant for the time before the coming of Christ (which by those practicing Judaism is THE bible since they don't consider Jesus as the son of God and are still waiting for one (the reason for 2 religions - Christianity and Judaism - instead of one)). I already linked it in this post but here's a rather brief explanation in regards to the Old Testament: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14336544

I'm certainly not religious about breathing. My breathing is involuntary. I think that most gods prefer you to have a choice about belief, free will etc? You're focussing on one definition of religion which you're then applying to everything.

In the same way I can say you're almost completely atheist. You don't believe in the vast majority of gods that have ever existed (or have been claimed to exist), do you? So applying similar logic to yours, you must be mostly an atheist.
