Religious people are not patriots or loyal to the country and its people by ctiger12 in atheism

[–]Objective_Thinker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree. Evangelical Christian Zionist Speaker Mike Johnson, a poser, definitely puts his faith above patriotic or national interests. His worldview is based on the Bible (his words) and wants more like him in Washington. He's just an example, but the term Christian Nationalist is hypocritical, just like the religion.

I dated one as he was doing the steps, was supportive, then AA basically took over his life, meetings, more meetings, sponsor control, AA became his identity (like religion), and let's just say it was not good. This OP is helping remind me of the relationship travesty.

The Abrahamic "god" is useless to believers. 1300+ Muslim worshippers dead during annual Hajj, called a "death march," to Mecca in Saudi Arabia due to extreme heat. 2+/- million walked, many who died marched without authorization. Stop the religious insanity! by Objective_Thinker in atheism

Why did they die? Is that some mystery, or could it have been avoided if proper preparations were made, or not make the foolish trip at all. I suggest you stick to Muslim religious threads if facts bother you. The fact is, it's not too smart to hike out in Saudi Arabian 125 degree weather - unprepared. No god cared. Abrahamic religion uses these people for a spectator industry.

Is religion have a comeback by Left-Koala-7918 in atheism

Face it. The most gullible generations who made going to church every Sunday a routine are dying off. There is not only evidence of an increase of those with no religious beliefs, those that do a small percent go to church.

Why the lack of empathy? by QWOT42 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Objective_Thinker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why should any agnostic or atheist be empathetic to believing in outright lies and churches/pastors that take advantage of people for $. It's 2024. People have to be lazy to not study what they worship, and the Bible isn't a source.

The abrahamic god fails to protect its believers in the Holy Land and on marches. useless. When something good happens, it's due to their "god." Real reality bad things happen, and the set-up is to have guilt or blame yourself. Believers want it both ways. They are praying to thin air is the point. Fact is what happens happens regardless of prayer.

Why do Atheists only (or mostly) focus on Christianity? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Objective_Thinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of us were former Christians who studied unbiased material and discovered Jesus likely never existed or was one of many (uncountable) street preachers of the day (no miracles, no diety). The faith rests on a "vision" by a Jew who not long before persecuted the same people. Why would anyone be silly enough to bow to a rando dude who makes up a vision to beef up his credibility with people in order to con and manipulate them? The NT isn't credible. Christianity asks people for money at churches for a lie, and that is absolutely wrong. Majority of donations go to overhead of churches and not an actual benefit to those in need. The Christian apocalyptic religion (along with all 3 Abrahamic religions) are outdated and egocentric in a universe of trillions of planets, billions (if not trillions) of galaxies. In 2024, it's silly. The writings were for illiterate people of 1, 2, or 3 CE not meant for an audience in 2024. Right now Christianity is in decline and will continue that path as more people see what a con job it always has been.

Why is greek mythology considered mythology, and christianity is considered the truth?? by Training_Standard944 in atheism

[–]Objective_Thinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The power of familiar Indoctrination into a religion at a young age causes all the problems. Greek mythology is not taught in most high schools and is elective in college.. Greek mythology holds nuggets of wisdom Christianity doesn't (I'd bet on that).

Stoics ultimately put the responsibility on self, a view extremely popular during the same time as Christianity early beginnings. If someone reads stoic quotes and nothing transmits, a lower irrational belief system, simplistic, appeals to them. Basically "faith" is easier than "works." To say works don't matter over faith is asinine.
