@HereIsWisdom 1318 Not true.

The ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians described the world as a disc floating in the ocean

Several ancient Greek authors said the same thing, including Homer, Hesiod, and Aeschylus

The philosophers Thales, Leucippus and Democritus all said the Earth is flat

The historian Herodotus also said the world had "edges"

The ancient Chinese believed the world to be a flat square, up until the 17th century

The Bible also says it's flat:

Revelation 7:1 says the earth has 4 corners

Daniel 4:10 talks about a tree at the center of the world from which you can see the world's "furthest bounds"

Psalm 104 says it's fixed to a foundation

Several books mention the "vault" over the earth - coming from the Babylonian conception of the world as a disc covered by a dome, like a snow globe

People still think it's flat today

@Matthew Grover Ppl used to try to disprove Jesus’ miracles as “ parlor tricks.”

AndroidDoctorr well in the real world we force our children to learn a curriculum to prove their intellect.

The archeologists that provide evidence for the historical content in our curriculum have found more than enough evidence of the plagues of Egypt, the destroyed towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, the ark of Noah, and many more.

Then there’s also the countless prophecies that were fulfilled. The euphrates is drying up as we type. God named the Persian and Greek empires (also Cyrus) before they existed, and when those manuscripts were damaged/lost, nonbelievers argued that Daniel was written after the fact.

In response, God gave us the parable of the fig tree. No one was directly named. Scripture study tells us the fig tree is Israel (Jeremiah 24) and they were cursed to lose their territory until the “last days” (tree withers). Jesus then goes on to say the fig tree will live again! And that it’s a sign of the end. Matthew 24:32 Israel is renamed a nation in 1948.

I pray you find the prophecies of the bible to be enough concrete evidence for you to at least pray to God. Pray for Him to show you the way to Him. Religion is evil, God is good.

David Parry you read the bible from cover to cover and became atheist? May I ask, do you have any experience in a position of leadership (captain, parent, manager/ceo, coach, etc)? I really want you to share with me how you got to this line of thinking.

Drug addictions, and thought addictions are closely related on a neurological level. Some people are more beholden to the ancient part of the brain (Meso Limbic System/emotional) rather than someone that reasons using the modern part (Frontal Cortex/rational).

How about someone flips a coin ten thousand times, charts the results, and it happens to show at one point the coin hit heads ten times in a row. Would it make sense to uphold that the ten heads in a row is evidence for an eternal, and intelligent outside force that made it happen?

How about since rainbows, iron pots, and gold coins exist that this is irrefutable proof that Leprechauns are real? Or the existence of naval ships, milk, and breakfast cereal proves the reality of Captain Crunch?

Faith (circular reasoning) are the pathways to truth...

"In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." "but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed." (2 Cor. 4:4, 3:16)

"As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom." (Quran 002.006-.007)

"but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Dopamine Ghost can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" (Mark 3:29)

"The second system, known as the mesolimbic system, has its cell bodies in the ventral tegmental area, which is medial to the substantia nigra. It projects to several parts of the limbic system, including the nucleus accumbens and ventral portions of the striatum, amygdala, and hippocampus, as well as prefrontal cortex. This system has been linked to reward-related behavior (Berridge and Kringelbach, 2015). Dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens increase in response to both natural reinforcers (such as food, drink, and sex) and drugs of abuse (such as amphetamine and cocaine). Additionally, in humans, activity in this region increases in response to more abstract rewards, such as money."

Marie T. Banich/Rebecca J. Compton, Cognitive Neuroscience, Section: Subsystems, pp. 2/3

"Dopamine, in fact, is critical in association learning and the reward system of the brain that Skinner discovered through his process of operant conditioning, whereby any behavior that is reinforced tends to be repeated. A reinforcement is, by definition, something that is rewarding to the organism; that is to say, it makes the brain direct the body to repeat the behavior in order to get another positive reward. ...The connection between dopamine and belief was established by experiments conducted by Peter Brugger and his colleague Christine Mohr at the University of Bristol in England. Exploring the neurochemistry of superstition, magical thinking, and belief in the paranormal, Brugger and Mohr found that people with high levels of dopamine are more likely to find significance in coincidences and pick out meaning and patterns where there are none."

Michael Shermer, The Believing Brain, Section: 6 The Believing Neuron pp. 8-10/29

"Genetic and behavioral factors influencing religiously motivated behavior appear related to dopamine metabolism and signaling. Inclination toward religious behavior and motivation has been associated with a polymorphism on the dopamine receptor gene DRD4 (Comings, Gonzales, Saucier, Johnson, & MacMurray, 2000;Sasaki et al., 2013). Acquired disorders of dopamine physiology also show links to religious behaviors."

"Dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters that belong to the catecholamine family. Dopamine is produced in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental regions of the brain, and dopamine alterations are related to schizophrenia (1, 2). ...The “original dopamine hypothesis” states that hyperactive dopamine transmission results in schizophrenic symptoms."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4032934/

"Dopamine In schizophrenia (SCZ), there is evidence that very high levels of dopamine in the limbic system play a major role in emergence of hallucinations and delusions. Antipsychotic medications, which block central dopamine activity, alleviate the hallucinations of psychosis. Drugs with strong dopaminergic effect, such as L-dopa, methylphenidate, bromocriptine, pramipexole and piribedil, may induce hallucinations. D-amphetamine, a direct dopamine agonist, may also induce psychosis and hallucinations."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2996210/

"Here, we show that administration of a drug that enhances dopaminergic function (dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine; L-DOPA) increases an optimism bias. This effect is due to L-DOPA impairing the ability to update belief in response to undesirable information about the future."

"Tibetan mystics have long practiced a method to create sentient beings (Tulpas) from the power of concentrated thought."

Note: These (Tulpas) are not sentient beings, but a manifestation of the subconscious mind through neural plasticity via neurochemical imbalancing inducing meditation. In other words it's having a dream state while awake, and interacting with a character that's made up of one's own preformed thoughts (building blocks of ideas/concepts that are below conscious awareness) which gives the illusion of sentience. In simpler words it's self induced schizophrenia due to stresses (psychological/physical/environmental) where neurochemical traffic gets rerouted causing hallucinations to any of the five senses, also including involuntary movement, and distorted speech (glossolalia).

Imagine the euphoria experienced by the average person for believing they won a million dollars on a scratch off ticket (it could be a joke ticket yet as long as they believe). Now imagine someone having the same sensations, but being convinced it's a paranormal contact for believing John 3:16.

We evolved to seek pleasure (eating/reproduction), and avoid getting killed (tiger in the grass/competing neighbor/harsh enviroment). With our increased cognitive abilities we made up other reasons for pleasure, and survival beyond basic necessity. The Dopamine Reward System over time bridges gaps in pathways in order to form habits in order to repeat behaviors, and or thoughts. The often cited testimony of getting off an addiction thanks to a God is just a placebo replacement due to the power of the mind (an AA participant I heard of chose to worship the radiator in his room instead of an higher power, and became sober).

Ancient people did not know the neurosciences. Philo of Alexandria thought that joy came from Heaven by way of God's chief archangel the "Divine Word/Right Reason (Logos)".

"XXXVII ...And who can pour over the happy soul which proffers its own reason as the most sacred cup, the holy goblets of true joy, except the cup-bearer of God, the master of the feast, the Word ?"

ALLEGORICAL INTERPRETATION, III

"LX ... the soul very often, when it is delighted, is yet unable to explain what it is that has delighted it; but it is taught by the hierophant and prophet Moses, who tells it, “This is the bread, the food which God has given for the Soul, (Exo. 16:15)” explaining that God has brought it, his own Word and his own Reason; for this bread which he has given us to eat is this Word of his ."

The High Priest's headdress had a crown made of a plant known for it's hallucinogenic properties at which a golden plate covered the forehead. On said golden plate was inscribed sacred characters for the name of God.

Josephus: THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS, BOOK 3, CHAPTER 7 (172-178), CONCERNING THE GARMENTS ...OF THE HIGH PRIEST

"6. The high priest's mitre was the same that we described before, and was wrought like that of all the other priests; above which there was another, with swathes of blue embroidered, and round it was a golden crown polished, of three rows, one above another; out of which arose a cup of gold, which resembled the herb which we call Saccharus: but those Greeks that are skilful in botany call it Hyoscyamus. ...Now the fruit is preserved by this coat of the calyx, which fruit is like the seed of the herb Sideritis: it sends out a flower that may seem to resemble that of poppy. Of this was a crown made, as far as from the hinder part of the head to each of the temples; but this Ephielis, for so this calyx may be called, did not cover the forehead, but it was covered with a golden plate, which had inscribed upon it the name of God in sacred characters. And such were the ornaments of the high priest."

Hyoscyamus Niger

" ...was historically used..., as well as for its psychoactive properties in "magic brews". These psychoactive properties include visual hallucinations and a sensation of flight. ...The plant, recorded as Herba Apollinaris, was used to yield oracles by the priestesses of Apollo. "

Memories are interesting.
"Things"  which once existed "out there" now reside within me.
A sort of living , organic , spirit picture .
I can summon memories of moments which are now
 passed/past
to provide myself with joy or laughter or comfort or strength of resolve ,
 etc.etc.etc ...
SOMETIMES  memories appear uninvited .  Like they have a mind of their own😂  They often bring a guest with them ,  like happiness or yearning or grief or anger or assurance ...sometimes I choose to evict one of their guests and invite another more to my liking
Memories are mysterious to me.
Memories ,
such as remembering :
*Being suprised by Parrish blue , star studded sky .
*Snow dancing down from above on one side of the street but not on the other side of the street . *Laughing as we ran in and out of the squall .
*A song
*A kiss
*A walk with another soul ..connected
*The joy of welcoming a brand new and living being into EXPERIENCE.
*The agony of holding a hand  that will soon be unavailable to hold ever again ...
*The slant of gold-rose light bathing the sweet countenance of a loved one.
*Windy , warm ocean air and the sound of the surf
and the screeching gulls and the ORDER of it all  ...
Yup.
  To me , memory is  wonderful and complex and moving and mysterious .
NOT SO to the faithful members of the
"Church-of-the-Brain-Soup-Thought-is-Chemistry-Science-is-Reality-so-shut-up-you-ignoramuses-who-THINK-that-THOUGHT-is-ANYTHING-BUT-CHEMICALS "
Nope
Apparently they have PROOF that
MEMORY IS CHEMICAL SOUP.
Not that chemicals transport , facilitate , or support thought in the form of memory .
Nope.
They have proof that
memories are neurochemicals and nothing more.
I know they have proof because one of the basic tenants of their VERY strict religion is
NEVER .EVER .EVER .EVER
(to infinity)
 BELIEVE ANYTHING WITHOUT PROOF

You'd have to
PROVIDE EVIDENCE !
    How would you do that ? Replicate the exact
neuro-soup and demonstrate it's ability to MAGICALLY  produce a symphony

  The emotion those notes   evoke !    The mathematical precision  required to create symphonic order and motion .
Ahhhh...

All the result of the  Neurochemical-Soup-God?

Re : the number of scientists who believe in Deity.
Given the fanatical and myopic and rabid tendency toward
 "faith in science alone " among academics ,
 is it any wonder that people who are educated and employed in the field of science  are reluctant to admit to belief in God ?
 To profess such belief often invites scorn , shaming , mockery , ostracism and possibly  loss of livlihood.   The religion of
 "Faith in Science Alone Cult"  leaders are eager to apply all of the same psychological tortures as any other sick cult applies to those "members" who dare step out of line.
Right ?

@Jackie Ann Yes you are so right that there are a number of scientists who concede that science alone cannot explain mankind and that science and religion can co-exist.  In 2015 there was a world wide survey conducted about the science-faith interface revealing that there are a larger than thought of existence of scientists who are not atheists. It is known that scientists are significantly less religious than a given population but in the study there were marked exceptions to this particularly in Hong Kong and Taiwan to name only two countries.  Contrary to Parry's ramblings, qualitative findings indicated that there are scientists that believed science and religion can coexist and be used to help each other.  As of 2015, this survey was the biggest global investigation of the science-faith interface.  Of course this is just a minuscule piece of information regarding the dichotomy of science and religion and particularly since it was four years ago, many intellectuals have since debated this topic vigorously. Parry appears to claim that our morality is just the result of genetic evolution where the terms 'neuron', 'hormone' and 'gene' explain us away; however, our inviolability and the uniqueness of every man evaporates in a purely materialistic world.

Interestingly, the study's principal investigator, Elaine Howard Ecklund, founding director of Rice University's Religion and Public Life Program put it this way.  "Science is a global endeavor...and as long as science is global, then we need to recognize that the borders between science and religion are more permeable than most people think."

I think Parry has vehemently followed all those intellectuals who practice scientism that has been defined by many as a narrow source of science and therein lies the conflict when neuroscience, evolution, and genetics are applied to all human affairs.  I think he's saying that through my study, research and work, I have come to the realization that science is all there is, its everything.  That's fine that his world view is based purely on science and that an unfathomable number of thinkers with the same views have formed, molded and supported his thesis.  However, he's nobody special because so many in the field of science think just like he does.  What he's doing however, is totally discrediting all of his peers who also entertain the idea there is something more to humanity than science alone.

He's right.  I'm no intellectual and my field is humanistic.  I haven't read the Bible cover to cover and don't profess to know everything.  What I do know however is that PEOPLE MATTER and while I gather (from what he said during one of his rants) that he works in the human pursuit of artificial intelligence and believes that science is absolute, I just want to cut and paste a passage below from a 2007 speech given by Leon Kass as I think it has merit.  Yes Parry can have his position about science but if one is so egotistical, a bully, blinded by their own views, who is there to listen? I said I wouldn't respond again but I did.  I'm not speaking to him, I'm commenting about him and his lack of social skills.  One can have all the smarts in the world but if they're in a vacuum, no-one can hear them.

Anyway, here's the what Leon Kass said and in my opinion, certainly supports what you have been saying Jackie:
"Scientific ideas and discoveries about living nature and man, perfectly welcome and harmless in themselves, are being enlisted to do battle against our traditional religious and moral teachings, and even our self-understanding as creatures with freedom and dignity. A quasi-religious faith has sprung up among us—let me call it "soul-less scientism"—which believes that our new biology, eliminating all mystery, can give a complete account of human life, giving purely scientific explanations of human thought, love, creativity, moral judgment, and even why we believe in God. ... Make no mistake. The stakes in this contest are high: at issue are the moral and spiritual health of our nation, the continued vitality of science, and our own self-understanding as human beings and as children of the West".

Some people believe that thought IS chemistry.
Not that thought involves chemistry.
Not that chemistry facilitates thought .
But that
 thought IS chemistry
and nothing more .
Soooo ... Neuro chemical soup and nothing else MAGICALLY produces :
*Higher mathematics
*Music
*Philosophy
*Art
*Vast scientific discovery
*Free will
*Curiosity
*Gratitude
*Consciousness
*Love
 .....oh I'll stop there.
Suffice it to say that adherents to the
Church of the NeuroChemical
demonstrate a blind faith that would put Mr Magoo to shame.

So
Peace and turmoil
Joy and sorrow
Patience and impatience
Hope and despair
Kindness and cruelity
Gentleness and savagery
Loyalty and betrayal
Self control and recklessness
are all chemistry and absolutely nothing more.
To  BELIEVE that would require great FAITH .
I wonder if those who subscribe to this particular faith believe that the ability to choose between them , you know , to choose one or the other ,  is also NOTHING MORE  than the result of some
neuro-chemical-soup recipe which MAGICALLY produces CHOICE

I can hardly imagine the degree of blind faith necessary to believe that.

Turmoil
Kindness

Loyalty
Betrayal
Gentleness

Of course , he can't.

And while he INSISTS that you and I offer him  proof in response to his questions
(only to ignore any point we make which is difficult for him)   ,
he offers no proof at all of his wildly exaggerated claims
The  double-standard is telling ...
PS ...He will probably come back with a quote from some extremist , third-rate neuroscientist.
Fear not.   There is a vast body of work in which good scientists admit the limitations in predicting and/or explaining human behavior.

Since you seem to need to take things slowly and in small increments , let me try to answer you AGAIN but in a way that you can comprehend ....okay ?
You ask for evidencs of a soul .    I answer by saying that the evidence is in the manifestation through living beings , especially as expressed by good and evil .
Now , will you tell me , without YOUR typical obfuscation ,  how you prove that compassion or rage or comprehension or creativity or fear or your MIND exist . Choose one and prove it's existence .

And so it is with the soul.

When you solve a complex math problem you DEMONSTRATE the existence of intellect and comprehension .

@David Parry responds to me: "Perhaps you should spend less time looking at the presentation style and spend more time with the content?

Reality is brutal. Why should I present it nicely?"
My response:
Because words matter and there are real people behind the keyboard who don't deserve to be called 'half wits' or 'intellectual cripples' to name but two of your offensive retorts. Of ALL the occasions you have responded, not once have you shown any understanding, compassion or kindness to those you are interacting with. It is a character strength to be kind and show empathy, you of which by your very behavior on here, appear to be lacking.  I hope its a facade you've created to have a little fun agitating other's.  You seem concerned about people who assume as you've mentioned it two or three times so I won't assume that I believe your behavior is part of your psychology but if you do legitimately deal with people who voice a different opinion to yours as you do here, may SCIENCE come up with a cure.

@Jackie Ann Your comment is fabulous...I love every word.

@Jackie Ann Your comment is fabulous...I love every word.

@David Parry I really don't think I have disclosed my 'magical' beliefs during this thread apart from a few posts discussing the way in which you deliver your beliefs.  I don't have an issue with what you believe but rather the way in which you treat the opinion of other's.  You seem to have a cure for everything.  Perhaps you can research a cure for rudeness and apply that to yourself?  Also, why do you respond 3 times to someone you don't consider a human being?  Is it that you must have the last word on everything like a petulant teenager...yeah, yeah, we all know you're 50 something.

@Bryce Burris I would be all for letting the religious maintain their sense of security via faith but the problem is that many religious people try to make society comply with their beliefs, demonize those that are not of their religion, prevent civil recognition of rights that are opposed by their faith, mistreat people who harmlessly break their religion's taboos, follow the harmful parts of their religion, etc.
It is due to these reasons that I feel people's blind faith ideally should be challenged & that folks should find some coping mechanism for life other than unwavering religious belief.

I personally would not mock or debate religious people for discussing their religion (e.g., if they discuss what prayers to recite so their hospitalized relative's recovery may go smoothly) but if I feel the discussion has negative repurcussions for real life (e.g., talking about Biblical/Quranic verses to directly or indirectly stoke hate against gay children & adults), then I will challenge them to prove the authenticity of their religion and will try to prove the falseness of that religion so they stop being hateful to others.

I would never have put that together.Good catch.

@kimbabloom I agree, I understand where David is coming from, but I'm not a fan of his attitude. I very much believe in treating people with respect as much as possible.  Even if you have a good point to make, it won't come across with a hostile attitude.

Disagree as I do with most of the contents of the Bible, the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself is one thing it definitely gets right.

@AndroidDoctorr Thanks for your opinion of his statement.  I see what you mean.  Information is flooding us from all roads and directions that's for sure but I see a lot of people take a little piece of information from here and a little bit from there and present it out of context to fit their agenda.  I don't consider myself a great intellect, more an observer of people and their motivations.  I know a little about a lot, not a lot about a little and tend to let people live their truth but must suffer the consequences. I really care about peoples feelings and have been told I have a leaning towards intercession.  I respect David Parry's intellectual opinion based on evidence which appears very important to him but the demeaning comments that he feels necessary to include in his counter arguments are such a shame for him as he pushes away anyone who dares to question.  Anyway, that's his loss. Cheers.

@AndroidDoctorr Thank you for explaining that to me.  I appreciate it. You've certainly done your home work so to speak. Take care.

@kimbabloom I was a Christian, and I gradually learned that none of it made sense or was any different from the claims made in other religions, or about Sathya Sai Baba (millions of followers currently believe he was the son of God, and many claim to have personally witnessed him performing miracles), or even David Koresh (there are still Branch Davidians, and they believe he walked on water), etc etc. I found out Christianity wasn't even the most popular religion when it was adopted by Constantine. I started to understand how religions form and grow in the first place. The books and lectures by Richard Carrier and Bart Ehrman were particularly helpful in that regard.<br>But Christian apologists like William Lane Craig and Alvin Plantinga made the first cracks when I realized their arguments fell apart under scrutiny rather easily. That's what got me to start reading, researching, thinking and debating. I wanted to justify believing in God but I accidentally found out it isn't justifiable.

@AndroidDoctorr  As this is one month old you may not read this but I'll ask. Just out of interest,  would you share why you spent over 10 years studying a subject that you obviously don't believe in?  Did you start out as a believer and then found evidence it is fiction or were you a non-believer spending years to prove your position?  I'm not angling for a fight as I'm a new Christian and know I don't have the smarts in that area to stand toe to toe with anyone on the subject, I just have belief and faith, but I'm learning every day.  I am however, genuinely curious.

@Matthew Grover Your words of wisdom as a response to that bitter, self-righteous and jaded D. Parry are the best thing I've read in a while.  I wonder what he means when he says 'we are developing a cure' indicating he's active in a quest to kill off religion? His reference to a comment that 'you will die one day and the next generation won't have the chance to be infected by you!'  Such venom. Not a great intellect as I imagine him Googling like crazy to support his responses and there's a meanness that I imagine makes living in his skin a real challenge. I''m sincere when I say thank you for your self-disclosure of who you used to be.  It opened my mind and made me feel safer, reminding me that people can change. I hope that guy changes because the words emanating from his brain, onto the keyboard have an underlying evilness, not because he's an atheist, but because of the way he treats other people. Godspeed to you Matthew.

2. You need to learn to read written arguments.

3. Going on random tangents or coming up with spicy comments isn't netting you any credibility.

@David Parry I usually equate the bible to an ancient Stephen KIng novel. But, the more I learn about psychopaths and their obsessive writings, the clearer the picture becomes. Some weird ass cult leader wrote a manifesto, incorporating real events of the time in to his fantasy world (giving you the "provable" parts of the bible). From there, instead of dying out, as is the usual case with cults, his followers grew, even in the face of facts, similar to the flat-earth cult-ure of today. (See what I did there? Lol!) Of course, the lessons are passed down by the very large families they were encouraged to have, and as most know, the lessons of our families stay with, and effect, us more than anything else. So, this cult leader just happened upon the perfect ingredients for a long lasting "religion". <br>But that is just my thought. Not even fully my opinion, simply a thought that just occured.

David Parry the reason you feel so angry when it comes to the God of the Bible is because your feeling convicted. Deep down you know he’s real but you don’t want to submit and loose out on the sins you love. It’s easier for you to paint God as the villain to ease your conscious which is screaming the truth at you. I pray Jesus will give you eyes to see and ears to here.

@David Parry that's not him telling people to kill people. He's telling a story about a king who does that. It's a parable about an evil king. Maybe read the book instead of pulling random verses when you don't even know the context.

@David Parry It wasn't something I ever really had ,and I would shame them much like you for not having proof, lacking reason or evidence. But as I thought more about it, I saw how happy their faith made them. It served as an anchor to ground them in the face of adversity. I couldn't help but think to myself, who am I to antagonize these people in aims to take them away from something that they love? If they really want to live a life of belief in some greater power and they do so in a healthy way that does not harm anyone, they have every right to do so. At that point it has no effect on me what another person believes.

@David Parry You're mistaken, it's not my Bible, I'm not a man of faith. But I will voice a defense for those people because they deserve to believe in something that brings them comfort. We live in a shitty world David, that much most can agree on. These people have found something and let it into their hearts for hope that it is true, a better place beyond this. I'm not one to extinguish hope or mock those who have it. We all hope and dream for something better, those with faith just put it somewhere else, to fault them for that is the real foolishness. You occupy yourself with mockery and disrespect rather than filling your life with true positives that would make you a happier person, you thrive on upsetting people, because you bring them down to your level. I'm not going to entertain you any longer because it's clear you're unwilling to engage in a respectful discussion. Pity that you have not learned to manage that from your education that you claim to be so valuable.

@David Parry You totally missed the point in what I said and only focused on what I said about wisdom, there's a lot more to it. Your STEM subjects don't really matter because they are not relevant here in the discission of things you cannot prove. My question to you was why do you see something wrong in letting people have their faith and belief of something beyond our lives on Earth? Do they sound absurd when you try to look into them too hard? Yeah of course they do, but I at least respect what they believe and hold dear to their hearts. Your lack of respect for that reflects that you are either using this as an outlet to voice yourself where you feel you can't in the real world, or it reflects a bitterness from something in your past that brought you to dislike religion so you now find believers to be fools or mentally ill and you compulsively provoke them because it makes you feel better. Learn from this and do better, selfishness and  a lack of caring for others never makes the world a better place. Good luck to you, and I hope that you find what you're looking for on your journey through life.

@David Parry I find it funny that you claim you're an old man, yet you haven't any of the wisdom that would come with your age. Assuming you're telling the truth, I'm not even half your age but I and most people understand that some people believe what they believe regardless what you tell them. It brings them a sense of security to have that faith and to talk about it. Do you actively antagonise people because you lack that same security and it frustrates you? You've got some growing to do.

"sooner or later everyones karma bill comes due"

@David Parry - and like I mentioned prior. I believe the Bible is symbolism to the fullest extent. The instances are not real but instead allegories, lessons, stories, answers and explanations of the human plight. Naturally that bleeds into all religion and sacred books. No man turned stone into bread or water into wine. They mean something else that is up to interpretation. It’s on par with reading Plato’s works or Socrates works. If you are blinded by ego and logic you will never get anything from those books which is a pity. You’re missing out on a treasure cove of philosophical gemstones. Which is turn betters you as a person, for you to move on and better the world. (:

@Rally Boyd I get your frustration about antireligious comments, even if I am agnostic. It is always jokes about pedophile priests and quotes from the bible where jebus was a little harsh. While I think all relions have goods and evils, I think sometimes the complete opposition on anything religious takes away from inspiring stories and turns a blind eye towards inspiration and creativity. Tangent here, I like the Lazarus joke.

@AndroidDoctorr - how many books of the Bible are there?

@AndroidDoctorr - You seem to not understand. I’m calling your bluff. All because you put numbers down doesn’t mean that it exists. By the way you talk I can tell. The fact you threw Santa into the ring is proof. Somebody who’s studied theology would be way more put together and eager to counter point with knowledge of the subject. Instead you went for the personalized lame attempt of under cutting my points. You have not studied theology for over ten years. Reading shit on the internet from non reliable sources don’t count (:

@Matthew Grover 2019 - 2001 is less than 10?

@AndroidDoctorr - Actually Santa was real coke a cola just made him into a magical being and changed his name, And no you haven’t. You’re a liar.

@AndroidDoctorr - I personally believe the Bible is symbolism nothing more. Allegories, metaphors, lessons, teachings, stories, etc etc based in reality. The characters were real people but the instances weren’t.

@Matthew Grover by that logic Santa Claus was a real person because there was a real Bishop Nicholas of Myra.<br>I've been studying theology a hell of a lot longer than 10 years so, weak flex.

@AndroidDoctorr - it’s well known in the field of theology and religion. Not well known in the field of everyday life. If you’ve read the Koran he’s mentioned as “the word of god”, the Jewish even recognize him as a prophet, there’s temples that were built for him from thousands of years ago so it’s manifested in the physical world. There’s more proof that he existed than that he’s “just a character”. I studied theology for over 10 years as an agnostic person. Without bias you learn a bunch more about religion.

The story of Jesus has been around for 10s of thousands of years. Just a different name. Same dates of death and resurrection different names. It’s probably a tale however Jesus more than likely existed they just wrote the tale around that person.

We've literally been living in "Bible" since our inception. It's all connected.

@Matthew Grover It's widely believed, but it isn't "well known". There's no more evidence Jesus was a real person than there is that Hercules was a real person.

He's a character from stories that copied from each other and added to the story each time. It's known that many of the stories of Jesus' life were added in the 3rd or 4th century because of their absence from otherwise complete manuscripts from earlier (e.g. "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" - theologists universally agree this was added later). And many other stories from the Bible are impossible, like the supposed eclipse that took place upon Jesus' death - somehow every astronomer and historian in the world missed only this one solar eclipse??
Many disagree wildly (e.g. how many angels were at Jesus' tomb when he was found absent? Was Quirinius governor of Syria when he was born? Or was he born under Herod the Great? Those events are 10 years apart, so obviously it's not both.) It's not possible the gospels report actual events.

This thread got real. It’s so difficult for all of us to think the other’s thought. I see also that who ever makes a good point then follows it with a low blow. One thing that I’ve learnt over the years by working on artistic endeavors with other people is that the result and the what is way less important than the process and the how. The second will fructify the first. Really guys, let’s try harder to get along.

@David Parry - at the end of the day you know nothing more than the religious folk. We are floating on a rock spinning at 10,000 mph in an infinite void that is ever expanding and ever degrading. That alone is almost impossible within itself.

Religion is a bad thing I’ll give you that. However spirituality is not. If you are an honest Christian who doesn’t rape/steal/kill then the beliefs have done their job. However like everything that humans touch, it’s ruined by those who are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

I remember when I used to be like you. Had everything figured out. I was so miserable like you are. Nobody could touch the impenetrable shell that was my darkness and misery. I KNEW everything. I could destroys someone’s faith off of simple logic because the opposite of faith is logic and logic is based in FEAR. That round led me to death and me and him had a good time for about 5 years until a gun was put in my mouth by my own hand. All because I couldn’t understand like you can’t understand that something out there is bigger than myself. I wish you Godspeed on your endeavors.

Alicia well you’re a quick one. Great job solving the “riddle.”

@Rally Boyd That "Have a great Friday and weekend!" was so phony. You don't give a shit how this person's weekend goes. You clearly don't like this person's ideas, so own up to that and stop with the passive aggression.

@David Parry boy, what did Jesus do to you that you're so bitter about him? 🤣 were those local temple businessmen your direct ancestors?

Wow - well spotted. Thanks. Everything is symbolic on a kind of spiritual level. Her greatest fear rose up from the dead indeed.

@David Parry I guess? Although I wouldn't call them mentally ill, that was normal back then.<br>Not that funny though, kinda messed up given all the war, oppression, abuse, torture, and other suffering that kind of thinking has brought us over the centuries

@Rally Boyd The point of ridiculing religious ideas is to try to shake the religious from their delusion. It isn't the nicest way to go about it but it works, just not when you use quotes out of context

And just because most people believe in some kind of religion doesn't make any of them right. Most people used to think Earth was flat

@David Parry It's from John, and the chronology is different from Luke so you can't really compare them, but anyway the part you're talking about is a parable. Jesus is quoting another character there. Read Luke 19:1-26

@Bee•Tea•Dubs the story was dug up and revived just like the real Lazarus that Yeshua ha'Messiach raised from the dead.

Can someone tell me the relevance of "Lazarus"?

seriously its not even like knowing of the Lazarus in the Bible or seeing the coincidence of the name in this case has anything to do with claiming to believe in Christ, but, what else do we want from a dark world? If God can raise Lazarus maybe there's hope for the cynics too.
