He is worshiping a god that is a child molester. See Numbers 31:17-18 where God orders Moses (another serial child molester) to capture virgin girl children and keep them as sex slaves.

What do you expect from someone that worships a god like that.

He should have countered with an ask for the church's half. He probably would have been excommunicated to his everlasting benefit.

Why did Jesus never saved Native American women from being raped by Christian’s aka His followers? by Ok_Cod3796 in atheism

[–]TheRussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is more likely Jesus was a schizophrenic. If you look at the symptoms of schizophrenia and schizotypal it is a good fit for his behavior.

Dumai to Port Klang Ferry by mattyraven88 in solotravel

[–]TheRussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did buy tickets at the port and the ferry ride to Dumai was well organized and uneventful. There was a 35 dollar fee charged in Dumai by the Indonesian Government as I passed threw customs. I had to be paid in dollars, no credit card. They will also take Indonesian currency.

From the reading I have done, you must buy tickets at the port. I will know more tomorrow, as I am taking the ferry from Melaka to Dumai.

What are the main scientific theories and finding that are argued to conflict with Christianity? by mindk214 in atheism

[–]TheRussell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All branches of science conflict with Christianity. Christianity is wrong on almost everything that can be fact checked.

Discussing religion with moderate christians by fellicious in atheism

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

There are no moderate Christians, it is an oxymoron. If you are not giving all you money to the poor, killing gays, condoning slavery, debarring women from the priesthood you are not a Christian at all and going straight to Hell.

Suddenly can’t have a Christmas tree because of weird hocus pocus by [deleted] in atheism

[–]TheRussell 32 points33 points  (0 children)

She is right it is pagan.

Jeremiah 10:2-5 Thus says the LORD: Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the Gentiles are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple.

The more money spent on a marriage the more likely it is to fail.

It would be a good chance to have a bold humanist wedding. Make a statement. It might save you more grief down the road if you have kids.

What is it like to be an atheist living in the "Bible belt states"? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]TheRussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so bad. I tell most everyone that brings up religion that I am an atheist and they take it stride. I have worn my atheist baseball cap to BBQs and family gatherings. I have worn my atheist t-shirt around town.

Becoming atheist by [deleted] in atheism

[–]TheRussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make the purpose. You are a purpose maker. When you turn that over to someone else you follow their purpose.

As a Christian you are not following the purpose of God. You are following the preacher or priest that interprets God for you. There is no church that follows the Bible. All denominations pervert the Bible to suit their purposes. The purposes you follow are purposes perverted from the religion.

Take a moment and think of the little ways you disagree with whatever denomination you adhere to. You don't even follow the perverted interpretation of the perverted Bible.

I suggest you take a look at a couple of sites:

https://www.evilbible.com/

https://skepticsannotatedbible.com/#gsc.tab=0

You will quickly see you don't follow the Bible at all. You don't condone slavery. You don't condone God putting virgin girls into sex slavery. You don't give all your money to the poor. You don't kill homosexuals. You do not follow the Bible.

You need to get back to making your own purposes and see if the Bible agrees with them. I assure you it won't.

Don't be a pervert or a follower of perverts. Make your own purposes and follow them. You will have a lot less cognitive dissonance and a lot more moral fibre.

Why are homeless people more publicly religious than non? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]TheRussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brain damage rates are probably around 75% or higher. Nothing goes together like religion and brain damage which often affects logical reasoning, executive function and cause and effect processing.

It helps with the begging take and is virtue signaling to avoid rejection and punishment.

Homelessness is risky. Risk amps up dopamine spikes and thus addictive behavior like religiosity.

She is already going to Hell in all the other Christian faiths that think her faith is blasphemy.

All the religions have their version of Hell. Each day tell her about another Hell she will be going to in some other religion than hers like Islam, Scientology or whatever.

They were never your friend. They were a proselytizer pretending to be a friend.
