The belief that faith is blind and composed of "magic and mystery"
Those are observations, not just beliefs. Do you know what an observation is?
For one thing, I can give an objective value to human life. And say that something is right just because it is, not because we decided it to be.
So, what are the benefits?
Are you implying WWII was a religious war? Or that there was a religious motivation for dropping it? Or that Truman was particularly religious?
No, but you ARE claiming that science is the problem for designing a bomb. Note how silly your statement is?
Actually, humans have been killing each other for a very, very long time. It's possibly ingrained, and more than likely to be irremovable from our psyche. Just saying, your logic that removing something because it has failed in the past is, well, thoughtless at the least, and downright silly at best.
No, silly would be to make a claim that killing is ingrained into our psyche. You'd then have to explain why we are all still here?
TBH, I'm surprised at how little read you all are. One would think you never even read any of the arguments posed by the religious, and just kind of jumped to the conclusion that you were right without considering both sides!
If you're referring to your documents with the typical tired nonsense arguments, yes, I've seen that before. I like the last part the best, it demonstrates the massive width and breadth of your ignorance.
"One last word to the atheists who are reading this:
I don’t actually care to debate you. This was not written for you. I am living in a manner consistent with the path I have chosen, namely that I should try to talk to those who are honestly looking for answers, and hopefully benefit them. If you’re looking for an argument, or a fight, or even a debate, you’ll not find one here. Go elsewhere.
But ask yourself why you are so bent on not believing. Take yourself out of the attitude where you are trying to beat me, and honestly think for a second. Do you really think you can prove God DOESN’T exist? If not, then why are you fighting so hard? Is there honestly NO merit to any of the evidence for religion? If there is ANY shred of truth to these arguments? If so, if you find yourself thinking for a few seconds, trying to come up with a reason why my points are not valid, then ask yourself if you are not biased. Why are you looking to beat my argument, starting out as an opponent, rather than a human, who, by his nature, always has more to learn?"
