Back to " religion".
I wonder how many " believers" have bothered to know the number of people suffering from cancer worldwide, yet they go on social media and ask their god to ....help them !! By the way, according to the WHO some 30 million humans die of an illness annually. !!! Where is this fictitious god, I suppose these so called believers, not what I would call them , swallow all the crap that Moses wrote !!
That is no argument to dispel the non existence of God.
I as an agnostic have such an inquisitive mind that prompts me to read and learn and hence read the Bible and learn about this tradition. I have at the very least learned to respect it.
The Bible is full of hard luck stories of martyrs who inherit the Kingdom God. Same with kids getting cancer. They have a few moments of suffering but then inherit the Kingdom of God, according to the teachings.
I actually like the teachings as a force for good. I hope the teachings are true.
You are a dicjhead because you disrespect the beliefs and comfort of other people.
I have read a lot of literature on this subject and am still searching for the answers but no matter what I can no longer ridicule the beliefs of the devout because it’s like ridiculing my ancestors. I just can’t do it!
