Christians don’t act like this. They are open to change because they acknowledge that their books were written by humans after being inspired by God/Jesus
That’s why the church accepted evolution after many years
Islam is a special religion. They believe the Quran are the literal words of Allah that Muhammad wrote down while being spoken to. So to change the Quran is to change the actual word of god. Whatever is written in there is exactly as Allah said
Christians have split and form other sects just like other religions this post is really really stupid and I hope it’s satire
I have a question I've always wanted to ask but I don't know if it's offensive to believers
it's well warranted considering both agnostics and atheists are probably some of the most self righteous and narcissistic people to ever interact with, in this thread alone it paints a very accurate and fantastic picture
Why would you believe a book of story compilations that didn’t exist in its current form until hundreds and hundreds of years after the death of the followers of the apostles and not even the apostles them selves
That’s the point, what you’re talking about is snippets of the gospels and not the book in its complete form which is what I’m referring to
But what makes the claims about jesus in the quran more accurate if they were written even later on than the bible
niggas are genuinely scared that God exists because they want to sin in peace
You not acting very christlike itt
I have no problem with religion in itself, I was raised a christian and I'm happy I wasn't raised with the values of western atheists who see nothing of value besides themselves as individuals
Acknowledging something beyond yourself as an individual as having worth and even being more important is a value of religion that I really do appreciate
Religion also helps a lot of people find peace, not even tryna be funny but religion is great cope in such a Cole world, the soul of soulless conditions
But it's nasty how so many religious people are so judgemental of non-believers, kinda goes against their own beliefs as well you know
Bro what? There you go judging and making assumptions again
It's just projection tbh
wait until bro finds out most genocides were committed by atheists
You can't be serious
the socialism vs capitalism threads were getting boring, i’m f***ing with this
Secular people morals are just a decentralized religion known as western philosophy upheld by ruling classes so whatever man
Not all non-religious people follow the ruling ideology and morals yk
During the early 1900s anti religious societies brought things like eugenics, totalitarianism, and nazism. Morals are important and if you take away God, there is no absolute moral truth
Eugenics existed long before that
I have a question I've always wanted to ask but I don't know if it's offensive to believers
ask away
Flopped
How is Zoroastrianism a flop. It has survived two invasions over 2600 years. Alexander burnt all the Avestas, only one copy remained in the Darius Tomb in Egypt and Romans ended up getting it and gave it to Sassanids but 600+ years had passed and the language had changed so the Sassanids couldn't even read it.
The Parsis that fled to India after the Arab invasion took it with them and they couldn't understand it until the 18th century when the British and french linguists translated it. It could possibly be the least altered book because for near two thousand years no one could even read it to try and change anything.
People say if people don't believe in god then there's no absolute moral truth and people will do terrible things.
But the opposite is also true, people have done terrible things in the name of god as well, a belief that god is behind you in what you're doing is a good way to justify your crimes.
Maybe bad things happening is not as simple as the presence or absence of religion

Religious people are evil people because they don't accept non-believers but we gotta accept them?
How does that work bro

What do you mean by accepting non believers?

Non-believers are a joke cause we don't know what we talking about and we are closeted believers and scared of death & damnation for some reason
Our opinions don't matter cause we don't got a 1000yr old book essentially
That's what they say

Depends how you approach the topic. Just like those religious people who throw it down your throat the non believers can be just as annoying

I didn't, yesterday I just asked how is the whole religion still a thing
I don't be in people business though everyone does what they wanna do
ask away
I remember now I think I wanted to ask how do religious people process some parts of the books that were clearly written from a human point of view to try and organize the society at the time
like idk if it's because I'm not religious but some things you find in those books feel way too human to be the word of a divine being and just feel like a code of law or something, I guess my question is how do religious people feel about having a more historical a***ysis of religious material?
idk if any of that makes sense
