    I just had a long conversation about the bible and God with my buddy

    He is now a big religious buff, he said religion has changed his life and opened his mind to things. I just had a long conversation and i can't belive how dum he has become and close minded.

    First off all he said that the bible is meant to be read 100% literal and that every single story is written through God because the writers had God guding them.

    I think this is bullshit the bible is meant to teach how to live a good life and be nice to people.

    He said porn is bad an that it ruined some of his friends marriages. Its so funny how in the world no one will take responsibilites for their own actions and blame things on someone else or something just because they are stupid.

    I then said the point, what if you are the best person in the world, help everyone and are kind but dont believe in God. He said those people will burn in hell.

    The i told him how religion is good in the fact it gives people meaning in life and he agreed.

    He also belives the God is a wrathful God and will punish you. It is funny how bible buffs belive this but then cant explain how Jesus taught a loving and undertstanding God, they say o he is both. They have trouble differing between them.

    So in close people who take religion to seriously become corrupted themselves and sometimes complete idiots. And he was trying to tell me beleifs were wrong just because i didnt 100% belive in the bible. If religion teaches this amount of close mindedness then fuck it.

      Three quotes about religion that I love:

      Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world; It is the opium of the people. - Karl Marx
      I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. - Albert Einstein

      I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.

      All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.

      I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. - Thomas Paine

        A few members of my family went a little crazy with this God stuff a while back. Still are to this day. But when they first started it they were trying to convert me, almost like brain washing me, I just stayed away from them.

        Not so bad anymore but still a bit weird. I'm Catholic and believe in God and all but some people take it too far!

          He was trying to tell me, he was just like me and other people then he found God and how it changed his life, he kept telling me i was wrong, i just laughed, anyone stupid enough to call someone wrong on beliefs just shows u how wrong religion is.


          O an above nice quotes i am going to send them to him now.

                I think human potential is immense, but religion is the single largest anchor holding us down.

                I'm not arrogant enough to claim I have the answers, but my money is on the following:

                God is a myth
                Jesus was an architect

                  he said porn ruins lives, he said its as bad a being a drug dealer

                  the market makes the sellers not the other way around.
