I'm not reading some giant block of text that supposedly supports your ridiculous position that some magic man once existed and it's for real, trust me bro.
Grow up. Help people make real change in the world that isn't based on mythology.

If there is no God, then what do I do? Why? What's the point?
Do you really not see how pathetic of a viewpoint that is to take?
If there's not a skywizard who loves me and a promise of INFINITE WEALTH FOREVER then why do anything AT ALL. WAAA
This is why I told you to grow the fuck up.
No, it's moreso who dictates to me what's wrong and right? The government? I hate the government. The media? I hate the media. The logical solution would be to move out of society somewhere and become self sufficient and hoard as much resources as possible to preserve myself (not even my family, because there's no real reason to have family values if this is the case)
You are incapable of creating your own moral code? So you're a sociopath, not surprising considering how much you're trying to sell religion right now.
If I create my own moral code, what should I base it on? Why does my moral code have to be the same as yours?
I never claimed that your code had to be the same as mine, but that's a great question. Why should I have to follow your religion and your EXACT same moral code? (Hint: Most christians don't follow christian values anyway) Your morality should be based on your perceptions of right and wrong, not what some dirty ass cave dweller from 2000 years ago thought was right.
Unfortunately too much lead got in the water and the air in the last century and destroyed the logic centers of so many peoples brains that even in an age of science and medicine you dipshits are still looking to sky daddy to make changes in your daily lives instead of leveraging all of human knowledge (available in your hand) to help you.
You truly are a sad individual if you have to rely on others to perceive the world for you and tell you what to do, because you simply can't fathom it on your own.
Irrelevant
So if my perceptions were something horrible like believing in eugenics or zoophilia, that would be okay?
Comparing apples and oranges. What has Christianity got to do with science and medicine? No idea where you got the thought that believing in Jesus of Nazareth being God was an alternative to these things.
LOL at your first point. It's 100% relevant. Christians don't even follow their own written set of values and morals, why should anybody respect them when they can't even do the things they're trying to get everybody else to do?
That morality would be okay as long as you still followed the LAWS of the society you live in. I don't care what you believe so long as you aren't actually harming other people. So definitely not christian since they rape children and protect the rapists.
You're right, christianity has NOTHING to do with science or medicine, which is a big part of the problem with it. Christians are the most anti-science group I can think of. You shouldn't be allowed to even use a computer based on your backwards ideologies. People who deny science shouldn't be allowed to benefit from it. You've literally been brain washed to try to collect followers for a seat of power that you DON'T EVEN SIT IN. Probably a fucking republican too since you're so interested in working against the common good.
Politicians do the same
Laws are arbitrary, and it was law in Nazi germany not to employ Jewish people.
Okay, so do broadcasters, teachers and police officers among others. Doesn't mean that all broadcasters and teachers condone rape nevermind do it themselves.
So, taxi drivers, bus drivers, artists, etc shouldn't be able to benefit from medicine or science because they deny it apparently because their lifestyle has nothing to do with science? Catch a grip
The Bible doesn't tell anyone how to vote.
I'd like to think I'd be sooner caught dead than being a republican
Just out of curiosity, what do you find so repugnant about republicans? I'm eager to point out the unlimited number of parallels between them and "Christians".
Their mass terror campaign and manipulating Americans into supporting them. They are prone to easily destroy their democratic system over a charismatic leader as well to suddenly elect as a head of state.
Damn that first sentence is bang on. Except you could replace "Americans" with just "people."
Well, republics exist across the world. Some are okay, but Türkiye is another example of one that failed. Although no system is perfect.
Did you get bored defending your position, or did you forget that I was comparing christians to (American) republicans? Seems like you're just trying to change the subject now that you realize none of your idiotic arguments are going to change my position or get me to back down from my assertion that organized religion is specifically a control and money making scheme and useful idiots like you are the only way they perpetuate themselves.
What? You asked me about republicans more. American republicans aren't much better. They are looking towards getting rid of free school meals for children, not dealing with American health care crises, etc.
I have barely put money towards organised religion, and the Bible scarcely talks about finances, constantly rebukes the rich also, so if Christianity is simply to make money, it's a pretty rubbish money making scheme.
You're just so dense there's no point in continuing trying to educate you on your stupid positions. Good luck with life, you're going to need it.
