Bible is ****
#204 I haven't declared war on him, I have ignored him throughout my life and have had no more problems than a deist does.
#206 Religion tells us we are born in sin, I disagree. No good God would allows us to be born in sin, live in sin and suffer. He would end sin.
'You are all born evil, you will all suffer, and unless you beg forgiveness and worship me, you will suffer for eternity' does sound good, it sounds like an abusive parent.
This is a very nice conversation, unfortunately topics like this can go nowhere because in religion, belief surpasses both proof and logic. Proof and logic make truth in my opinion. In short, beliefs cannot be drastically changed in terms of religion and as such there is no point using logic against it.
