      @@arthurmartinson4370 Sadly, we do tend to ignore the early Mesopotamian religious traditions. I think part of it is that the Abrahamic faiths are so deeply derived from them. If we had a better understanding of those roots, the books of the Bible might be better understood as works of literature.

      Violence is not unique to any individual group of people. We all have a sin nature that we allow to let us do any number of wrongs from lying or stealing to murders. We all fall short of God’s standard which is absolute moral perfection and once we die, we will be judged for all our wrongs and be sent to hell to pay for our own sins. But because God does not want people to be punished for eternity, He chose to die on the cross to pay for our sin and was ressurected on the third day. So if you believe in Jesus as God and Saviour and trust in what He did without trusting in your own deeds or character, you will be saved.

      It’s literally a merged religious culture. Christianity is just Judaism with extra steps. Islam is actually fundamentalist Judaism that incorporates both Judaism and Christianity into its own revised doctrine. We outsiders view all 3 Abrahamic religions as a monolith. But as far as schisms and sects go, there is a distinct version of Abrahamism for every believer. And no 2 believers are alike.

      Alright look if you're a committed and honest Atheist you would denounce a meaning of life look a meaning of life is something that goes along with religion it's not provided by Atheism. A Atheist saying they believe in a meaning of life is like me as a Christian saying I believe in reincarnation or like a Muslim bowing to a statue of Bhudda just don't go together or even make since so if you're a real legit Atheist not only should you admit that as a Atheist you don't believe life don't mean anything but act like it my scriptures tell me faith without works is dead but it also says without faith it is impossible to please God. I mean if you are a Atheist not only admit you don't believe in a meaning of life but also act on it meaning you don't care about food , love , family , bedding , health , safety , medical care , hygen , sanitation ect. Also you wouldn't care if you're sick or healthy. When it comes down to morality Atheism doesn't have that yes there are Atheists that have there own morals but let's be honest Atheism is silent on what is right or wrong or okay meaning as a Atheist it's not right or wrong or okay if you donate clothes to the homeless or spit in a homeless person's face because they disgust you or say hello to someone you just met or punch in there face because you find them repulsive or tell your spouse you love her or commit adultery on a daily basis. I consider Atheism to be a form of rebellion and denial. Atheism has no rules on love , family , gender , violence , marriage , faithfulness , lust , sexuality , reproduction , witchcraft , expression ect so yes Atheism/Agnostism is disorder and confusion no accountability. As for a afterlife it exists because of the anatomy of the body is spirit , soul and body. The body is carnal it gets ichy , sick , hungry , smelly , thirty , tired , ect it's carnal able to see , makes sounds and be touched. the Spirit is you. You are not your body or your soul your a spirit being your soul is your thinker , chooser , will , filler ect. When a person dies they can't see or hear or touch of think or eat or drink or anything like that why because there spirit and soul is absent regardless of if you're buried or cremated your spirit and soul leaves after you die either goes to Heaven or Hell a place you can't take a mortal body. There is One God existing in three persons not three Gods but like a way of life or way of existence like this God is not like matter like electricity , fire , heat , stone , ect. God is someone we all have a relationship with even many Atheists curse God out as well as say oh my God. Okay Jesus is God lower case g okay let me explain God yes God is a spirit unseen to the living everywhere at the same time. Okay let's define what a God is a God in a religious context is a deity capital God. In some contexts a god lower case g is a person who is very gifted and talented. God choose to manifest his presence in the flesh and form a person you see the reason why Jesus is god but he was able to die on the cross is because when a person is in the flesh it's limited like this generally speaking God can't die but the flesh can. When Jesus was on earth he did great works preached the gospel , cast out demons , heal the sick , raised the dead , ect it wasn't his flesh doing it. It was the Spirit of God working in the body doing it. Jesus said i do nothing of my own meaning it's not his flesh and blood doing it. It's the spirit of God in him. You see God is not limited like we are God doesn't need to sleep or eat or drink liquids or learn or grow or sweat or use the bathroom so God can do things we can't do God is not limited by location or reality like we are. It was the same Spirit that raised the body up from the dead to show the world they can have hope in God. The Holy Spirit is the mediator.

      @JoshuaOpell because religion cannot push or force people to reproduce like rabbits, as most religions do and that people prefer quality over quantity. Religions that did the contrary, like shakers, simply disappeared. :-)
      It's the same in all the animal world. Some bet on the quantity and produce a lot of offspring that they left to themselves hoping that some will survive. Others, like humans, have much less offsprings but take very good care of the few they have and invest a lot on their education to give them better chances to survive.

    Jefferson Davis used the Bible to support slavery:
    "Let the gentleman go to Revelation to learn the decree of God - let him go to the Bible. . . . I said that slavery was sanctioned in the Bible, authorized, regulated, and recognized from Genesis to Revelation. . . . Slavery existed then in the earliest ages, and among the chosen people of God; and in Revelation we are told that it shall exist till the end of time shall come. You find it in the Old and New Testaments - in the prophecies, psalms, and the epistles of Paul; you find it recognized - sanctioned everywhere."
    The reason slavery was abolished "by Xtians" is that 97% of Amerika were Christians, but acc. to the Bible, Davis was correct.

      Alright look if you're a committed and honest Atheist you would denounce a meaning of life look a meaning of life is something that goes along with religion it's not provided by Atheism. A Atheist saying they believe in a meaning of life is like me as a Christian saying I believe in reincarnation or like a Muslim bowing to a statue of Bhudda just don't go together or even make since so if you're a real legit Atheist not only should you admit that as a Atheist you don't believe life don't mean anything but act like it my scriptures tell me faith without works is dead but it also says without faith it is impossible to please God. I mean if you are a Atheist not only admit you don't believe in a meaning of life but also act on it meaning you don't care about food , love , family , bedding , health , safety , medical care , hygen , sanitation ect. Also you wouldn't care if you're sick or healthy. When it comes down to morality Atheism doesn't have that yes there are Atheists that have there own morals but let's be honest Atheism is silent on what is right or wrong or okay meaning as a Atheist it's not right or wrong or okay if you donate clothes to the homeless or spit in a homeless person's face because they disgust you or say hello to someone you just met or punch in there face because you find them repulsive or tell your spouse you love her or commit adultery on a daily basis. I consider Atheism to be a form of rebellion and denial. Atheism has no rules on love , family , gender , violence , marriage , faithfulness , lust , sexuality , reproduction , witchcraft , expression ect so yes Atheism/Agnostism is disorder and confusion no accountability. As for a afterlife it exists because of the anatomy of the body is spirit , soul and body. The body is carnal it gets ichy , sick , hungry , smelly , thirty , tired , ect it's carnal able to see , makes sounds and be touched. the Spirit is you. You are not your body or your soul your a spirit being your soul is your thinker , chooser , will , filler ect. When a person dies they can't see or hear or touch of think or eat or drink or anything like that why because there spirit and soul is absent regardless of if you're buried or cremated your spirit and soul leaves after you die either goes to Heaven or Hell a place you can't take a mortal body. There is One God existing in three persons not three Gods but like a way of life or way of existence like this God is not like matter like electricity , fire , heat , stone , ect. God is someone we all have a relationship with even many Atheists curse God out as well as say oh my God. Okay Jesus is God lower case g okay let me explain God yes God is a spirit unseen to the living everywhere at the same time. Okay let's define what a God is a God in a religious context is a deity capital God. In some contexts a god lower case g is a person who is very gifted and talented. God choose to manifest his presence in the flesh and form a person you see the reason why Jesus is god but he was able to die on the cross is because when a person is in the flesh it's limited like this generally speaking God can't die but the flesh can. When Jesus was on earth he did great works preached the gospel , cast out demons , heal the sick , raised the dead , ect it wasn't his flesh doing it. It was the Spirit of God working in the body doing it. Jesus said i do nothing of my own meaning it's not his flesh and blood doing it. It's the spirit of God in him. You see God is not limited like we are God doesn't need to sleep or eat or drink liquids or learn or grow or sweat or use the bathroom so God can do things we can't do God is not limited by location or reality like we are. It was the same Spirit that raised the body up from the dead to show the world they can have hope in God. The Holy Spirit is the mediator.

    There IS an interesting point to be made within the irrationality of that whole thing. The common belief among Christians in America (from what I can tell,) is that the solution to all our problems is for everyone to be "assimilated" into Christianity, and then we'd all be a unified, efficient society with domestic tranquility, and happiness for all. If everyone would just submit to our religion, it would be utopia! Basically, the same philosophy as`The Borg.`
    While I agree that division in our society is probably the most negatively impactful phenomenon we have going on, no, force feeding Christianity to everyone is not the answer! In fact "Because a god said so," is probably the worst way to go about trying to have a meeting of minds.

If everyone attained that purpose in their individual lives by their choice to seek Him, find Him and become one with Christ as He is One with the Father, society would need no improvement. Love would reign. Don't let mockers and bullies keep YOU from experiencing Jesus' love for you.
