"I have never seen any reason to take any religion seriously, nor any reason to treat any one of them as more plausible than all the rest. When the beginning premise of something is that we're all born with inherited guilt because 6,000 years ago a talking snake persuaded a woman made from a rib to eat a piece of fruit from a magic tree, I really don't need to pore over the nuances of St Augustine or John Calvin to realize I'm dealing with silly nonsense that can safely be dismissed." -- Infidel753
"For that matter, even within Christianity there has always been an endless proliferation of sects, with the differences between them being important enough to believers to motivate horrendously bloody wars and persecutions at various times. Christians claim to be the bearers of absolute truths which we should all accept, but in two thousand years they've never even been able to agree among themselves on exactly what those absolute truths are. Does this chaos look like the result of a revelation from an all-knowing and all-powerful deity, or the product of past generations of befuddled people struggling to make sense of an interminable anthology of random gibberish?" -- Infidel753
No.3 is just what I think when seeing how Texas and Florida are doing to restrain any rights invoquing thwt damn «law of God».
ReplyDeleteWomen and LGGTQ are in front row to suffer from their old politics.
We in Canada excluded religion from any politic decisions and of our schools, letting the Churches the place for each of their teaching inside their churches.
We very rarely as in USA say «God Bless USA» but we vote politics to help ALL Canadians to be well in all aspects of our lives.
Thanks for the cites!
