    There are other videos where he addresses what you brought up. There is actually an entire series of videos that address many of the different issues regarding organized religion.

    War, famine, poverty, rape, all of those bad things aren't mutually exclusive to religious societies and that's what I'm trying to get across to you...religion didn't bring those things about

    There is things that are purely human so to speak and there is things which religion support. Religion support and foster many of these issues actually and some of these things are damn dangerous, especially for those who take scripture to the letter. For example: A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed.
    (Deuteronomy 22:13-21).

    Yeah, Religion supports tons of dubious things, it is not only a metaphysics vague concept, it is damn pragmatic in our life, sometimes.

    Yeah, I'm pretty certain that was a social more(pronouced moray, just in case you wanted to look it up) and it's probably still followed in some areas of the Middle East. So what I'm saying is religion didn't create that law but people in the area had that law for some reason, perhaps to manage their tribes and keep the peace, remember in that age arranged marriages were not uncommon so if you were to be wed to a woman that is supposed to be a virgin and you find out she's not a virgin....you're going to want your goats/camels/etc back. It was just a law of the time and place, much like it used to be a law that if someone stole your cattle they could be hanged....just an outdated barbaric law. The metaphores are what teach us.....Jonah and the Whale, is that not a good metaphore to teach? Don't run, don't hide from what scares you, what haunts you, what you feel you cannot stand up to, because if you don't stand and face it then it will have power over you and maybe your whole life, only when you decide to face what you were running from can you be free....that's a great moral story to teach and it's appicable to so many things in life and there are TONS of those metaphores in ALL faiths and all religions.

    Sure, some issues are like that, the exemption of pork in islam is due to the fact that pork under such weathers become bad and poison quite fast, there is a lot of things like that. However, some part are not always tale like that, these are not all fables and morals to help peoples to understand. Moreover, peoples to this day are using the whole book as a vector to justify everything and nothing they do because it's written in it. For that, Buddhism is a lot better and more peaceful than any other religion that I know, no hierarchy and it is not based on some discrimination or domination factors. There can be a few good things in every religion, I am not denying that, what I am saying is that overall, I feel there is more bad things than good ones, especially when a hierarchy has been created over it.

    If Muslims are offended by Christmas then why do so many try to look like Santa?
    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    I completely support their right to kill the man who drew this cartoon.

    I used to think it was an overreaction, but then I remembered how angry I was when they gave Scooby Doo a cousin. I'd have murdered the bastard who created Scrappy

    So far the plumber has not heard from those who promised reward money.
    So far the plumber has not heard from Joel $steen.




    Not a soul to hollar PRAISE THE LORD....OUR STOLEN MONEY WAS FOUND.
    The silence must be the seek-lawyer-silence.


    To steal in the name of the Lord...once again, its Rightwing Practitioneers of Chrisitianity that would remain silent.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    The very demographic claiming Democrats want to cancel the meaning of christmas, jumped for joy when they saw a photo of one of their own showering her kids for X-mas with REAL GUNS.

    Damn the toy gun, let the toddlers grow up thinking Gods n Guns on Christmas.

    Jesus, thank you for my glass projectile rounds that the big bad liberals didnt want me to have.


    I never saw a part in the Bible where it says "vengence is mines & Smith & Wesson" sayeth the lord.
    This is what Trump allowed to crawl from the dark into the light.



    They were long there, but no longer afraid to declare they can kill and then eat a big ass pig sitting in the middle of the table...in honor of Jesus the Jew.



    Guns, pig's ass & then declare a former friend to the clintons - a former life long democrat is ...The Chosen One


    Damn the fact there is NO chosen one in the bible. There is a A savior, but who needs him? He healed the sick with no need for pay, medicare, medicaid. he fed the poor -no need for credit, debit or financing with 255% interest. He claimed live by the sword (gun) die by it.
    But Gosh Darn reading the Bible...let Sean Hannity, Dead Limbaugh, Donnie Drumpf or one of those multi-millionaire televangelists (for a fee called tithe) teach us all.

    How can that man of 2,000 years ago be here today- and be accepted by the christianty- group? We all know...he was never murdured by the infidels or the athiests or agnostics....he was killed by those who claimed they had a belief in a God.

    How then would that demographic (god-believers) treat a man who spent time with the hoes, bums, no-nothings, poor, oppressed, colored, raped, mentally ill?
    They would treat him no different today then they did back then.
    Religion gone wrong?
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
