You don't understand. What's so funny about that? You're the one who can't demonstrate your knowledge.

1: It is your burden to prove that the soul exists. What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.

2: And what exactly is decadence and worldliness? Whatever that doesn't embrace what your ancient books says is right? If god really wanted people to be free of wicked thoughts, he should have taken more care to invent a different species.

3: Because there's no such thing as "mattering." Nothing matters, because we're born into this world, and then we die. Do the birds and the other animals around us have meaning, too? Or is it, according to man, that the primary meaning of animals is to be eaten or enjoyed? You probably think life has meaning. Prove it.

Religious people typically don't understand, and what they don't understand, they punish. Same can be said for secular people and their man-made morals, too.

It shouldn't be a matter of which is more dangerous, but a matter of all religion being dangerous.

All religion is irrational and dangerous in some form or another.

Just out of curiousity, didn't you used to be religious? I could have sworn you've identified yourself as Christian at some point in the past. Maybe I've got you confused with someone else?

Thats what I thought, you were told by the OP what it meant and you are simply wrong :shrug: for some reason that hurts your feelings and you choose to lie about it:lol:

Gee,all that sounds like OPINIONS to me.
You could have saved typing time and bandwidth by stating "Because I said so",because in my opinion that is all your above post amounts to.
Sorry if I do not see any reason to accept that as "proof".

Decadence and worldliness contribute to the decline of society and civilization. It's been apparent throughout human history. To determine what it is, you need look no further than the contributing factors in history.

If your life means nothing, and does not matter, then why do you continue to live? Why do you allow others to live?

The proof is in the pudding, Verthaine. What do you want? You have the entire secular world at your fingertips. Do you see things differently?

Used to be Christian. Started debating, thinking, learning, and craving answers.

Simple. Religious man creates sin. If you don't understand something, you demonize it. It was even worse in that past, when thousands were killed due to religion.

Religion itself is decadent, because it justifies, bigotry, hatred, pride, etc.

As Hitchens explained earlier, we could just die because we realize life has no actual meaning, but why should we? Doesn't mean we ought to commit suicide, and I dare anyone to prove that acknowledging life has no meaning necessitates suicide.

That's irony.

Religious people don't think rationally, but react, constantly, to things they don't understand.

Ah. Good for you. Welcome to the logical side of human philosophy. :)

And stopped praying, serving, believing, and studying the word of God, if you ever did these things in the first place.

no thats what you did and the OP told you that you were wrong and you still are lol

Yeah, because constantly hoping God will come and save you, while damning everyone who doesn't agree with you is healthy.

No, you don't know god, because god's unknowable, because he doesn't exist. Instead you'r given some bastardized form of religion, except the sad part is that that's all it ever was.

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it’s the surrender of reason, it’s the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It’s our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated. - C.H.

Sigh. Too dense to know when he's beaten, too thick to know when to stop.

How old are you, Objective? My guess is 23, but only 12 at an emotional level. Are you developmentally delayed?
 
Dooble said:

No you're not. You've never searched for the truth the moment you put all your faith into man-made religion. Instead of looking to science for objective evidence, you assume that god done did it. You err by think sin and evil exists, that people are bad, that god is some great being that created everything yet is somewhat dubiously never even seen by the angels themselves. Apparently he decided to pave the streets of this great place called heaven with gold, and apparently gold itself had a tad of value back in those primitive times.

Religion is a symptom of illogical faith and groundless hope. The moment you detach from religion and start thinking for yourself, theb etter. When you start applying the immensely using concept of critical thinking is when you actually start looking for the truth. If you valued looking for the truth, you'd question with the utmost tenacity the impossible events within the Bible.
