Seems to me that Christian neighbors getting together and protecting themselves from non-Christian riotous neighbors is the right thing to do.

The question is, when a Christian tries to love his neighbor as himself, does that include fighting off BLM and Antifa rioters who are attacking your family? I mean, you need to protect yourself, because you are the bread-winner for your family. And, you love your family more. Besides, they are trusting you.

Initially christians normally do good and echiewed evil, the idea of doing the right thing is supposed to be the priority of every believer.these days believers do not see evil as bad, they trivialize it. One who wants to be a good christian must learn to do good and echiewed evil, people use religions to deceive,dupe and misleading people is quite alarming, we need to amend our ways in order to make God happy.
I used to be religious when I was younger. As I grew older I saw people who use religion to justify discrimination of certain groups. I think many Christians are hypocrites and pick and choose which aspects of the Bible they want to follow. There is also something strange about worshipping a being who you cannot see and who cannot talk to you. Religion has held us back in many ways. There are some things which are not considered morally acceptable but they don't harm any third parties and there is no logical reason why we can't do these things.
Indeed, they are also very controlling in many different aspects such as the way you needed to be dress, the way you supposed to eat, the way you need to work, and many more. Never minding other religions that contradicts their owns.
In some instances, they discriminate other religions for having a different beliefs other than them, it is very toxic
One more little step, and your religion will be racism.
What kind of religion you are talking about, hmmmm
Anyways, respecting other peoples beliefs is something this religion uncapable of doing.
You should be able to figure out what kind of religion it is. Doubt if anybody else can.

As he said, religion is irrational, and so are you.
You emphasized the "BIBLE" which is "Christian religion" how about the others, do their rules matter to you?
Does eating a blood matter to you, cause in christian catholic, you can eat blood while in others you can't.
In Muslim, pork is not supposed to be eaten while in christians, it is allowed.
Thus religion is irrational, as they limit everything based on their own beliefs, and disowns others who contradicts their laws.

Your 1-5 are simply religious ideals that some hold dear... same as the reverse of your 1-5 are other religious ideals that others hold dear.
All of your 1-5 are legal if they are done in a legal system that holds them to be legal. But they are illegal if they are done in a legal system that says they are illegal.
Your animosity against legal systems that do things differently than you want, is some of what makes for wars. You ain't smart enough to figure out what is fundamentally right or wrong.

Killing men who have sex with other men is wrong. Killing people who work 7 days a week is wrong. - Not wrong in a society that has such executions as their legal law.
Religious peoples' moral compass is skewed; if they even have one. - Right! It's about time you change your wrong moral compass, and start believing in the God of the Bible.
You might be a closet serial killer if you think 1-5 should be legal.
In the USA societies, 1-5 probably are not appropriate laws to be made. However, in some racial groups within the USA lands, such laws would be entirely appropriate if they WERE made. So we see that racism is unjust in the USA. Why? Because the races of BLM and Antifa do all kinds of things that you don't like. But they are allowed... why?
1-5 are right if the societies wherein they are exercised, exercise them legally. What? Are you trying to make people of other races slaves to your ideals? Sounds to me like you are a professional slave-maker.

I think religion is acceptable because it is rational and has a positive impact on society.
religion is a way of life about belief in a creator which includes rules or laws that must
be carried out by all
followers in every life and if they do not obey there will be a period of reprisal which becomes a risk for sinners.

Religions are irrational. Buraqs/horses with human faces could not exist. In Bronze Age, women who did not have vaginal sex could not get pregnant. Angels, demons, and other mythical figures do not exist. Hell and heaven do not exist. We checked.
Religions have a negative impact on human progress.
Most religious 'laws' are illegal in civilized countries. For example:
1. Killing people who work on Sabbath is illegal
2. Killing gays is illegal
3. Discrimination of women is illegal
4. Stoning is illegal
5. Burning of witches is illegal

Change is the naturalness of time the infallible religion of time but the type nature and sequence of change are not under the control of time and space. Change in society due to religion can be desirable undesirable and positive negative religion makes life easier for people in society and thinks about the hereafter and prays for those who follow their religion the change of religion creates a comprehensive idea about the present and the future. Religious meditations religious doctrines the validity of religion and the practices customs rituals and related political and social changes related to the practice of religion.
Einstein's Theory of Relativity has been a theory for a long time... [...] But you almost can't find a scientist who uses it
I'm sorry, but this claim is utter nonsense. There are plenty of examples of application of the theory today. To take one: GPS. If this didn't account for relativistic time dilation, it simply wouldn't work. Also, if we ignored Einstein and stuck with Newton's notion of a privileged reference frame, if we said there was absolute space and absolute time, rather than them being relative, then how would electromagnetism exist? Field changes would be propagated instantaneously. It's absurd. Newton was a genius, but a genius from the 17th C. Things have moved on somewhat since then. The idea of an absolute reference frame is an anachronism. Science advances, and understanding advances because of this.
The question of why relativity is a 'theory' is a little more complex. I have no desire to get into a discussion with you on scientific terminology. The important point here is that relativity - unlike, say, religion - is falsifiable. Experiments can be performed where if the results went a certain way, it would disprove relativity. And despite many attempts to do so, relativity has not been falsified. Experimental evidence demonstrates that it reflects reality extremely accurately.
Except that there is no sound, scientific evidence that the earth is older than about 5,000 years.
What there is no scientific evidence for is most of the nonsense you write.
Nowadays religion has a decreasing importance, thank god, we could say, lol.
Historically, religion has primarily been a method of social control. Partly as a tool to enhance cohesion, like a tribal affiliation, fighting together for the glory of your deity, as a proxy for a flag, or other symbol. Partly also as a tool to enforce good behaviour... god as an all-seeing all-knowing invisible policeman... if transgressions against the prescribed moral code are automatically punished in the afterlife, then you as a leader have less need to surveil your citizens.
The clearest example of this is the Middle Ages, when religion served to reinforce the subjugation of the majority of the population in the estates. One had to suffer in this life because God would reward in the next.
When it comes right down to it, a person's private, personal religion is based on his freedom to choose a group, or no group at all.
Without freedom to chose there would be no religion, and without religion, there would be no freedom to choose.
Religion is essential for people to have life as people. If they didn't have this freedom, they would simply be like animals, acting out of instinct, rather than choice.

Religion does not offer freedom. It offers fear, servitude, submission, and bondage.
Religions are institutionalized cults.

Exactly @ op religion has caused and brought so much propaganda in our recent society many believers today argue blindly about religion and Christianity ✝️ there’s indeed a close thin line between the both and it is often confused for being outrightly religious, most pastors now try to extort money from their congregation all in the name of offerings and tithes once more again religion has brought more negativity and comparisons in our society than I can literally imagine.
Although the issue with Christianity is often the focus behind many people's response like this, Religion does not just pertain to Christianity , church services and pastors. Religion is a general organized set of beliefs that a group of persons hold dear. As a matter of fact, if you follow world history, even before the origin of Christianity, humans always sought to place beliefs in things or forces they could not see as a way to feel connected to a source.
When one begins to fall deep into those beliefs and starts to eliminate normal human logical reasoning, one has become too religious, and when one becomes too religious, he/she begins to act as though they have been brainwashed, and this is a major problem.
In my society or the society at large Religion has been my basic concern, have been seeing the role religion is playing, the positive and negative aspect of it.
So today you will tell me the positive and negative impact of it in your society or Environment.
I go first,the positive aspect of it have seen is it brings unity among group of people, while d negative aspect of it is too much;
(1) so many people have been brain washed all in the name of Religion
(2) people spends more time to their religion which has affected so many lives
(3) people think religion will liberate them from poverty.

Religion is to give correction, rebuke, direction on how to live life.
But when one ties himself to religion too much , makes one to be ignorant
So religion is like cocaine.
In small, infrequent doses it can cure your cold, but when used frequently
and copiously it can destroy you and the people around you.
All you are saying is that you don't even realize that everybody has his own religion? In other words, there are 7.5 billion religions on earth. Just because a person says he is part of this or that religion, doesn't mean that he believes just the same as any other person in that religion.
And that is the point. Trying to emulate some group religion, or the religion of somebody else, actually turns a person's religion into the religion of hypocricy.
It's kinda like you, running around loose with a religion of non-religion.
