The World's Most Unpopular Book

@Willows
Christians tend to be proud to claim that the Bible is the "best-selling book of all time", presumably because the insinuation is that so many copies have been sold.


Yes, that is a very informative thread you posted there Willows; I really appreciate your insight and intelligent, balanced reasoning.

And I really loved those posts of yours, some weird guy mentioned here. Some of them are an absolute hoot but of course, they all deliver a pertinent message.

It resonates with me because I checked into a Hotel not long ago not realising that they (the Gideon Society)  just simply place a Bible in every hotel room in order to artificially boost the sales.

What happened is that I thought the cleaners hadn't done their job properly and mistook the book for a piece of rubbish that was left behind. So I just threw it in the bin.

I'm beginning to think our Darwinists don't have an example. Sal can make a 10 paragraph post and still not mention a single example.
But the fact is that I have mentioned many examples which remain unopposed.

For example, the very first line of the Bible is contradicted by the fact that the heavens and the earth were not created.
And it gets worse from there.
I mean, huh, what about the complete piece of crap that Adam was made in a day. It slightly contradicts the established fact that Kwame (since the first homo erectus was African) was born over a million years ago.

I could write a book about all the glaring inaccuracies in the Bible but it is far simpler to just say that the Bible is a load of unmitigated rubbish then just trickle feed all the disbelieving Thomases, then sit back and see them run around like mad hens trying to talk their way out of it.

But I want what I wrote to be judged, not me as a person.
Tough, because you wrote it and you are a person.

I'm not saying you are a bad person however picking holes in somebody else's argument by beating around the bush is not a good look.

What I am doing is encouraging you to make your own argument instead of trying to make fault of others.

Otherwise, you leave yourself wide open to get roasted.

Nope. Also, the rest of your comment is just you acting up all emotional.
Wrong.I completely backed up my claim with facts and reason.

Neither am I acting up. My post was serious, reasoned and completely valid.

I'm afraid that by refuting a valid post with "nope" just doesn't cut it in a forum.

It either shows you simply do not have a valid reply and concede my argument or just stupid as I quite rightly stated, most likely both.

You are stupid and my claim stands 100%.

My advice is that perhaps you should start getting a bit serious and stop making frivolous comments towards others for no reason other than out of your own ignorance and arrogance.

Is Home Schooling Safe?

@Alec
I support homeschool and if I had a kid, I'd probably homeschool the kid.
I think there is definitely a place for homeschooling....remote, rural communities where kids can't easily get to school. And whilst it is possible to develop highly intelligent kids I think social interaction should also be an important consideration for the well-rounded development kids need in order to function effectively in communities.

Of course, I was having a good stab at Christian (or other religions) homeschooling; and I know a lot of it goes on. 
Parents, in this case, are abusing the right to homeschool by censoring information (e.g. science subjects) from their kids and forcing a distorted and unrealistic view of the world to their kids in order to satisfy their own nefarious ends.

I think it is tantamount to child abuse......my exaggerated portrayal of kids being chained up isn't too far removed from what goes on in these homes.

Caring Sensitive Home School Father: OK children, for supper tonight we are going to have a real treat. We are going to sit around the fire, sipping fresh, warm cow's milk and singing Kumbaya.

Kids: Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!

Caring Sensitive Home School Father: You are all God's children and everything you need to learn is right here in this one book, the Bible. I know you have all been studying earnestly, so, do you have any questions?

Kid 1: Oh father dearest, our provider, and protector from sin and debauchery......can you please explain Genesis 19?

Kid 2: Oh father dearest, our provider, and protector from sin and debauchery......can you please explain Exodus 21: 7-8?

Kid 3: Oh father dearest, our provider, and protector from sin and debauchery....can you please explain Luke 16:18?

Kid 4: Oh father dearest, our provider, and protector from sin and debauchery......can you please explain Deuteronomy 23:1?

Kid 5: Oh father dearest, our provider, and protector from sin and debauchery......can you please explain Revelations 21: 8?

Kid 6: Oh father dearest, our provider, and protector from sin and debauchery......can you please explain Genesis 38:7-10?

Caring Subservient Home School Mother: SUPPER IS READY!!

Caring Sensitive Home School Father: OK. I'll just unchain the kids first.

Why Society Rejects Religion
What I am addressing in particular, is the doom and gloom aspect of religion; Christianity, in particular. Here we have a belief that keeps its followers hooked through guilt and fear that if they do not commit themselves, they will be punished in an afterlife with eternal damnation in Hell.
Apart from being a load of unfounded nonsense and lies, such threats are extremely primitive and unwarranted in this day and age.

We then have the bigotry and ugly discrimination for which Christian Churches are notorious for and embarrassingly and obscenely behind the times. It is just unacceptable in today's modern society for institutions to make a stand against the rest of society and the law of the land in the name of God.

Churches have had an unenviable history of oppression, abuse, and corruption. They have shown to be very slow, even reluctant to clean up their acts.

If you claim that something is non-sense, then you claim that something is non-sense.

Now you claim to completely understand. Ergo the concept makes sense. (Even if you might not agree with the concept.)

This is what is known as contradiction.

So let me put things another way.

What, even though you understand the concept, do you still nonetheless regard as non-sense?

What the?
How many times have they made you repeat first grade and when will you finally make second grade?

Now that first sentence is a real show-stopper I reckon. If the sky is blue then the sky is blue. Yep, a lot of deep philosophical thought went into that one....."like err um derrr it is what it is man, haw, haw"
I seriously suggest you throw away those comics and stop throwing away your medication. You know, one day the carers will find out that you have been chucking those lithium tabs in the pot plants after hiding them behind your tongue.

Not really. Also, I suggest you watch this debate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us_E6t6TrIY
Yes, it is really stupid as well as extremely bias as to be completely laughable.

How many other lectures have there been when some charlatan who makes a living out of being on the speaking circuit (especially to religious campuses) spins a complete load of rubbish to those that are naive and wasting their money?
Thousands, that's how many.

There is nothing at all new about an unscrupulous individual with a string of qualifications (who could not get a professorship) to make money out of spinning a load of contrived nonsense.

Even I could get up on stage and start re-interpreting the Bible to fit in with the message I am getting across to an audience of gullible nitwits.
Every one of the "compatible with evolution" translations was ambiguous, weak, and did not relate to any scientific fact about evolution through natural selection.

Come on...re-translating "in the beginning" to mean a series of events is drawing a longbow, to say the least, only to be contradicted by the week it took God to create the universe. "Oh, but of course", I hear you say.....a day to God is a million years because the interpretation by Dr. Geekhead says so.

The Bible has been and will continue to be interpreted hundreds of different ways by thousands of theological opportunists cashing in on thousands more nitwits wanting to hear that sort of tripe in order to justify their nutty beliefs.

When a consensus of qualified language experts and scientists reveals a passage in the Bible that correctly translates as "the advanced progression of amino acids forming the meiosis of DNA bearing cells replicating themselves......", I will certainly sit up and listen.

Until that time (which has as much chance as pigs flying) the Bible shall remain what it is and always has been...a book of reference containing no more than speculative unverified anecdotes and myths, as well as timelines and information that have been conclusively been proven wrong.

There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that remotely comes close to mentioning anything about evolution and those who get sucked into believing otherwise are stupid.

In other words, you are proven to be stupid.

Is this a permanent "career"? Because I heard that sometimes Orthodox faithful spend like maybe two or three weeks living in a monastery for the sake of the experience and drawing closer to God. Is that what this is?
I think that I can appropriately answer these questions for you.

It is more likely that they draw closer to each other, in fact extremely close which of course creates a situation of having hypocritical homophobics.

@rosends
I  have made a series of direct statements which have to do with the nature of prayer and the failure of generic statistics to address the myriad variables and dimensions of meaning that prayer has in the real world. That you are on the other side of a particular divide so my particulars have no meaning is not indicative of their content, just of your position.

OK, you asked for it. Now for the roasting.

Albeit that you made a series of direct statements, such direct statements account for diddly squat except to show off your ability to squirm around issues like a slimy worm and poke irrelevant holes in somebody else's (valid and reasoned) argument.

(here's where we need to spell it all out unambiguously folks) Now, in order to participate in intelligent social intercourse one needs to present an argument; a suggestion would be: "Prayer does work because..........."
Or:
if you wish to be a bit more colouful in your compelling argument: "The morgue in such a hospital would be no larger than a janitors closet because..........."
Or:
(which is the most likely course) Simply carry on with your slimy worm, deceptive way neither effectively saying anything but making sneeringly veiled sideswipes at someone else's fair argument. In which case you will be roasted to a cinder.
Or:
(which is your only logical option really) Don't make any further reply at all, which of course indicates that you have no valid argument whatsoever.

See, what could be better than optional choice?
The answer is right before your eyes.
Choose wisely.

And if one decides to start from a position and only understand argument from that particular perspective, one may find oneself looking to roast because he hasn't any other approach to conversation.

When you start by deciding that proof has to be measured by your personal standards, and those standards aren't met by any force not actually beholden to your sense, then the easiest thing to do is decide that the being, not your standards has failed.

Though I admit, I don't know the word "scerrik."

Skerrick.

Now, when one decides to act like a smart derriere by using la-dee-daa, airy-fairy philosophical concepts to make an quasi argument by deceptively attempting to defuse another argument by poking hypothetical, non-committal pinpricks into it without even finding the intestinal fortitude to attempt making a stand or a valued argument, one may find oneself suddenly becoming roasted.

Completely wrong.

There is nothing in Genesis that can even be remotely translated as having anything to do with evolution let alone be compatible.

"Oh then Sal, where's your evidence?" I hear you cry in your relentless search for the truth.

To which my response would be:

"Sure Dienasty, following is a link to the complete book of Genesis which clearly shows that there is nothing at all that is compatible with evolution, unless of course you wish to make up some ridiculously absurd case to embellish such a futile and doomed topic".

In which case, bring on the stupidity and see where it gets you.

Thanks - I have seen similar studies but again, it runs in to a couple of problems when trying to quantify the effect of prayer. It assumes all prayer is petitioning, it assumes that only answers of "yes" are measurable effect, and it assumes that one can compare "patient 35, prayer on Tuesday" with "patient 35 no prayer on Tuesday" even though it is impossible to have two opposite fact patterns empirically tested in a single universe.
You are getting into the realm of "nothing is 100% provable"  or "anything is possible" or "nothing can be ruled out" which for all intents and purposes are merely excuses in lieu of reasonable argument.

The reasoned argument is that there is no proof whatsoever that prayer works and the evidence we have tends to favour the contrary. Also the overriding factor is the fact that there is not one scerrick of evidence to indicate the presence of God or any other supernatural entity to answer, let alone, act on prayers.

Yes, using a stilted notion of what prayer is and is supposed to do, with an impossible to prove set of standards. First, I could point out that prayer is not always asking anything. Then I could point out that sometimes, requests receiving a "no" are being answered. Then I could point out that there is no control group here because every case is unique so the only control might be "what would happen in this particular case if there was no prayer" and that becomes impossible to gauge when prayer is introduced.
You are assuming or at least implying that there was a stilted notion and no control group which is not the case.

In fact, the study revealed that there was a notable swing against prayers being answered since the respondents (in the case of praying for the health of themselves or loved ones) tended to develop anxiety over the pent up expectation.

This tends to poo poo the idea that prayer has some sort of consoling or "placebo" effect.

If I can find the survey I shall send it to you, the results are interesting.

No, you read it wrong....once again.

I completely understand your statement. I just wanted you to clarify the nonsensical nature of it.

For example, if you read it in one of those science fiction comics then of course you should quote your source.

If you got it from one of those la-dee-da philosophical websites that use Courier text, then don't bother.

If you made the statement purely on your own then there are some very good professional therapists I can refer you to.

YOUR REVEALING QUOTE: "I could recommend to anyone to ignore the Bible at any cost except if you need it to prop open a door or tear pages out to light fires with."

My King James 1611 Bible sits on my living room coffee table. I leave it there to impress others of the faith. The irony of which, I have used it as a door stop at times where once my dog retrieved it and chew it up. Subsequently, I heard violent thunder from the East, and prayed to Jesus not to murder my dog because of what he did. Jesus didn't murder ol' Duke that eventful day,  but about a week later Duke became sick and after I took him to the vet, he was diagnosed with parvovirus and died 2 days later.  Our Yahweh/Jesus/Ghost God does work in mysterious ways. :(


Wow, I certainly will take that on board. It certainly is consistent with what happened to me.

I used to rip sheets out and use it for toilet paper then one day I developed hemorrhoids.

The GP told me it was due to the hardness of the paper and toxic residue in the ink, but after what you just said, I'm not too sure about that.

But if you see a request as having been successful if it communicates a need, even if that request is denied, then prayer "works."
How would you know that the request was successful because of prayer and not due to circumstances?

Similarly, how would you know that a prayer was denied and not simply due to circumstances?

Several years ago a comprehensive study was done in the UK using 40,000 to determine the difference of prayer and non-prayer for the same situations.

It was found that there was no discernible difference whatsoever with the outcomes.

In any case, whether or not prayer works is totally hypothetical since there is no God to answer prayers and the whole concept of prayer was devised as a tool for wishful thinking.

I suggest you may be able to raise your level of discussion just that little bit higher buy emptying the words "ultimate", "truth" and  "don't understand " from your copy and paste basket. Being deliberately deceptive and evasive only shows that you have no viable reply at all.

Time to raise your standards if you want any hope of cutting the mustard with someone who knows a fraud when he sees one.

Yes prayer works. I prayed that you would start another topic demonstrating your foolishness, and God answered my prayer. Thank you God. 
Once again your logic is apparently completely fornicated.

To start with I started a topic that doesn't demonstrate my foolishness but in fact, highlights the fact that I fully researched the subject of prayer and had the guts to confront those who go around laying on the guilt trip that somehow prayer works.

And secondly, I initiated the topic on my own free will without intervention or any urging from God.

Thirdly, and most tellingly, your prayer was unanswered.

Fourthly, you failed (no doubt deliberately) to address the issue, for example, "Yes, prayer works because........." Because of course, you know very well that you would be in a losing position.

You completely lost out with this round; quite dismally in fact.

So, we can take it that, by default, you concede the fact that prayer does diddly squat.

Perhaps we could build a 100% natural, faith healing hospital ....we could call it "The Holy Hospital of Kindness".

 * Instead of operating theatres we shall have prayer rooms.
 * Instead of professional doctors, nurses and surgeons, we'll have naturopaths, chiropractors and accupuncturists.
 * Instead of drugs we will have holy water.
 * And of course, we would need to erect a morgue that's larger than the hospital itself.

Not sure I understand your reasoning there. Hallucinations have no bearing on this topic at all.  It is absurd to say that you can have a personal relationship with reality if by way of hallucinations. In fact it is nonsense. Hallucinations and reality are not cut from the same ilk. Although it is part of our reality that hallucinations are had by some persons.  
Come on. You know very well that what I said was:

In practical terms, a relationship with God would involve having hallucinations. 
And it has everything to do with the topic since that in fact is what a relationship with God actually is; hallucinating.

And you would be very aware of the number of times that I have posted "that" damning video which makes every theist go conspicuously quiet.

If you listen to what I say, the only Orthodox Christian around here, it should be apparent that what we believe in no way resembles your caricature of it.

However, the fact is that my caricature of Christian Churches is totally correct and I have thoroughly backed up my claims already.

It is significant that you have not refuted the facts I presented.

Simply saying "what we believe in no way resembles your caricature of it" as a reply further reinforces my observation that you, along with other members of your cult, are ignorant, arrogant and deluded.

Exposing the hypocrisy, lies, and deceit of religion is doing quite the opposite in that religiously afflicted people are being weaned off their forced ignorance of relevant facts.

Religious devotees marginalize themselves through maintaining idiosyncratic beliefs that harbour anti-social attitudes and behaviour. I have done a lot to help these people assimilate into decent, moral, civilised society.

And in that very question lies the answer.

It's because no matter how much truth you hammer into a Christian, he or she would not even begin to want to comprehend what the heck you're going on about.

In Muslim countries, you won't even get any atheist who proclaims his status let alone dare speak a word against Islam since he ain't going to be wearing his head for long. In India, religion is so deeply inground culturally that an atheist would have much more success in selling ice to the Eskimos than trying to reason with those curry munchers.

In the Western, free, civilised and secular world where Christianity is the spiritual poison of choice, there is hope for atheist advocates to do good work in the community and make a difference by converting Christians to a normal way of life.

Infinite Set Theory Explains The Trinity
-->
@ethang5
can provide a small insight into the nature of God.
So small and speculative and contrived such insight is in fact infinitely irrelevant.

You are using the (false, if not unproven) premise that God is infinite.
And then trying reverse reasoning.....derr well, if Jesus came from God he was a subset and because he is also God and infinite the subset must be equal because it is infinite. But gee wiz, there's more, coz if I find another subset that.....oooh I've got it, the Trinity right, yeah oh yeah, like this is all so clear and real.

I can prove that I am God....are you ready for this?
Like, the universe is infinite and there is a subset, namely a monkey typing the complete works of Shakespeare but in fact, that monkey is equal to the universe since the subset of the monkey typing the complete works of Shakespeare is infinite but ah, I hear you cry, the complete works of Shakespeare is finite but I say, no, not when you consider the monkey at a typewriter being a subset of infinity since it and an infinite number of monkeys will be typing an infinite number of copies of the works of Shakespeare on typewriters whose subsets of ribbons and paper are also infinite and since we all evolved from monkeys we can also see the subsets of merging creatures that eventually became man (of which I am one) being also equal to infinity and since God is also infinite that makes me God and nobody else can claim the same thing since there is only one infinity and only one God, therefore that in itself proves that I am God and the amazing thing is that if you take away any of those subsets that make me God then it doesn't matter because infinity never gets any smaller and those monkeys will keep on typing the same infinite number of the complete works of Shakespeare.

Is Temptation Real?
Adam: Goddammit!

God: Damn what? And what the Hell are you ranting about?

Adam: Geezuz! It's that stupid bloody rule that you made up about not being able to eat apples off that friggin tree over there.

God: Hey, don't start giving me all your self-righteous shite again. It's supposed to be symbolic you know, like real organic, okay?

Adam: Symbolic, schlumbolic, what a load of crap! If you were really serious about leading me unto temptation you would whack a slippery pole in the ground and make a sassy-looking, big butted chick twirl herself around it.

Eve: Okay guys, stop your bleeding bitching and come inside. I've just baked an apple pie.

God: Oh yeah babe! Now that sounds real tempting.

Does God Smell?
For that matter, does God see, does he speak, and does He hear? There is certainly no evidence that He possesses any of these faculties.

Does God read and does He write? Again there is absolutely no evidence of either of these abilities.

Is God computer literate? He apparently has no Website, no email address, no Twitter account, and no Instagram profile. 

So, if we are to accept that God exists isn't it a bit worrying that He is a senseless, dumb, illiterate technophobe?
