What dont you get? Good morals are innate, a very young child can steal something and feel guilt, no one instilled that guilt in him, it just is. A young boy can hit another boy and cause pain, the former will feel "bad" that he made another person hurt. That feeling is inside every human with birth. It does not take religion to instill something that is already in us.

The people you listed HAD these innate morals, but at some point in THEIR life, they negated them to instead become bad humans. Lack of religion did not cause this, just as much as lack of religion did not keep me from being decent to other people.

Re: Why are the so many Bible haters on GLP
Because religion has been a tool to control people. The bible is full of contradictions and even has 2 origin stories of adam and eve ! You would have to be delusional to think "God" wrote a book or even inspired it. There is far more evidence for alien intervention than the bible and the sumerian texts even predate the jews book. The real value of a religion is that it gives people HOPE when there are no other sources of it, this doesnt mean it is real though.

Self determines morals. Rational thought by individuals.

Centralized power (who does not follow their own rules they give others) cannot determine my morals. When they tell me that my baby is going to hell because I didn't baptize him in time, while some child rapist can go to heaven because they repented and accepted Jesus as their savior, that doesn't make it true. It's certainly not my version of morality.

Parents are able to teach kids morals even if they are atheists. The moral decay in the world is caused by an overbearing centralized government which takes responsibility away from parents. A truly free society would be moral because people as all mammals are born with parental instincts.

Religion contributes to this centralized power worship which is what is actually causing the moral decay!

Re: Why are the so many Bible haters on GLP
I thought the people on GLP were awaken and not sheeple,but how can you claim to be awake and hate the Word of God.If you hate the Word of God you are a sheep,because the Word of God will guide you and make you awake.
 Quoting: TheWiseOne







First off YOU just proved yourself a Lemming by using the term "sheeple", you follow the crowd to the point you can't even come up with a name on your own to separate yourself from the ones you disagree with!

Second "hate" so if people don't believe in the fairy tale they "HATE" it? I think the vast majority "hate" the biblethumpers that push it constantly not the work of fiction itself!

If you're going to point fingers and use terms trying to separate yourself from others makes sure you aren't one yourself first!!!

Re: Why are the so many Bible haters on GLP
Many of the people on sites like these are government agents and agents for the dark side. They are paid to try to turn people away from God's Word. People that hate the Word of God are brainwashed and cannot understand it, because in their hearts they hate God, so he does not reveal his secrets unto them. When people say that God is a ruthless tyrant because he caused or allowed women and children to be killed, they never show where in the Bible that is. The only time God commanded the Israelites to kill women and children is when they came upon the cities infested by giants, who were preserved from the flood, and were offspring of the watchers, or fallen angels. They were the cause for the first destruction of earth, the giants, or nephilim, and their fathers the watchers. They led men astray and taught them things they weren't supposed to find out, and men loved it so, so God destroyed the whole earth, save Noah and his sons. And the when the giants died, there went forth from their carcasses spirits which became demonic spirits, which are the same spirits leading mankind away to this day.

Be not concerned with the blind fools and paid agents on these sites that try to turn people away from their faith. They are completely lost and headed for destruction and condemnation, and they know it deep down, so they would just as soon take as many with them as they can. They have not been blessed with the spirit of God and the discernment necessary to tell truth from fiction, real history from made up lies. To hell with em.

Re: Why are the so many Bible haters on GLP
Christians were first, and horribly, targeted for persecution as a group by the emperor Nero in 64 AD. A colossal fire broke out at Rome, and destroyed much of the city. Rumors abounded that Nero himself was responsible. To divert attention from the rumors, Nero ordered that Christians should be rounded up and killed. Some were torn apart by dogs, others burnt alive as human torches. Over the next hundred years or so, Christians were sporadically persecuted. Then in the mid-third century, emperors initiated even more intensive persecutions. This, “The Great Persecution”, is considered the largest. Beginning with a series of four edicts banning Christian practices and ordering the imprisonment of Christian clergy, the persecution intensified until all Christians in the empire were commanded to sacrifice to the gods or face immediate execution. This persecution was to be the last, as Constantine I soon came into power and in 313 legalized Christianity.
 Quoting: Take That! 2562242


Uh huh, Nero is blamed for a lot, isn't he? I don't think he started the fire.


Persecution of Christians by Persians and Jews during Roman-Persian WarsAccording to Antiochus Strategos, a 7th century monk in Palestine, shortly after the Persian army entered Jerusalem in 614, unprecedented looting and sacrilege took place. Church after church was burned down alongside the innumerable Christian artifacts, which were stolen or damaged by the ensuing arson. Given that Khosrau II generally practiced religious tolerance and did deem Christians respectfully, it is not known why Shahrbaraz ordered such a massacre. One reason could simply have been Shahrbaraz's rage at the resistance that had been offered by Jerusalem's Christian populace. Accounts from early Christian chroniclers suggest that 26,000 Jewish rebels entered the streets of the city. Some Jerusalem Christians were taken captive, gathered together and murdered in mass by Jews. The Greek historian Antiochus Strategos writes that captive Christians were gathered near Mamilla reservoir and the Jews offered to help them escape death if they "become Jews and deny Christ". The Christian captives refused, and the Jews in anger had purchased the Christians from Persians and massacred them on spot. Antiochus writes: Then the Jews... as of old they bought the Lord from the Jews with silver, so they purchased Christians out of the reservoir; for they gave the Persians silver, and they bought a Christian and slew him like a sheep. According to Antiochus, the total Christian death toll was 66,509, of which 24,518 corpses were found at Mamilla, many more than were found anywhere else in the city. Other sources give a figure of 60,000 slain. The Jews destroyed the Christian churches and the monasteries, books were burnt and monks and priests killed. According to Israeli archeologists, there was no destruction of churches. A mass burial grave at Mamilla cave was discovered in 1989 by Israeli archeologist Ronny Reich.

“We must keep the people busy with political antagonisms."
“We’ll therefore speed up the question of reform (of tarrifs within) the Democratic Party; and we’ll put the spotlight on the question of protection …(for) the Republican Party."

“By dividing the electorate this way, we’ll be able to have them spend their energies at struggling amongst themselves, on questions that, for us, have no importance whatsoever." - United State Bankers magazine, 1892.

Re: Why are the so many Bible haters on GLP
because many people think the idea that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions god's infinite love is silly.

because many people were raised in authoritarian religious sects & thru personal experience have come to their own conclusions about the nature of reality that differ from what they were taught to believe.

because many people use the bible as a tool to get people to submit to them in the name of their "higher power".

because it's been polluted by the myriad of conflicting fevered ego's who claim to follow it & it's easier to have a conversation about your personal experiences with reality by excluding it & all the baggage that comes with it.

Re: Why are the so many Bible haters on GLP
I don't hate the bible. I think it's great entertainment. It's really just a spellbook for christian sorcerers.
It's chock full of magic when you look at it. Miracles are spells, pure and simple. People who claim to heal in the name of jesus are just practising a different kind of magic.
Everything about it seems magical so I say it's one of the most powerful spellbooks around.
Just look at how many people are 'spellbound' by it :-)

Only GOD can change your heart, no one else....
 Quoting: christian


Then for heaven's sake *why* do so many of you go around demanding that unbelievers change their own hearts?
Unfortunately, we christian zealots generally order them to conjure up faith from their own willpower, as if people can simply snap their fingers and make it so.

If the "natural man cannot grasp spiritual things", why do christians still expect them to, and bang away trying to make it happen? That's carnal idiocy, and that's why people can't stand us.

Absolutely. People just don't like being manipulated, and unfortunately manipulative efforts are the only thing most christians have to offer.

That's the way I see it too. I can't force something that isn't there just because people are screaming at me that I have to do something. In fact I resist it even more. I'm stubborn.

And I also don't know how if there is a god, who gave me free will and an independent and inquisitive mind and never convinced me to worship him that he'd punish me eternally for it.

I knew an evangelist who would try to goad people into saying "Thank you, Jesus" because he was convinced that if they just mouthed it, it would legally allow God's foot in their proverbial door. How jacked up is that?

And like I said yesterday: let's take a poll on how many GLPers have never been told "Jesus loves you". You think the seeds aren't already in the ground pretty thoroughly?

Indeed - it's simple common sense. Love never fails, and God will have no need to dispose of anyone.
