i suppose that comment was a little unrelated, but it wasnt from my perspective at the time. i think its absurd to base your life around a book with so much garbage in it. thats all i was saying.
and i know people arent just going to change their beliefs because someone lays down the facts that contradict their beliefs. but that is exactly the problem. i dont think faith is a good justification for believing in anything, especially not something that people base their lives around. for example, if a group of people dedicated their lives to preparing the earth for the return of aliens, most people would require them to give some sort of proof before they considered their claims to be at all valid and worth living by. for me, its exactly the same with any religion.
2. for a while i was thinking about leaving a comment that said "stop beating a dead horse" but then i decided not to, because i think it was a good thing you made this post. it was very long though.
Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of unquestioned religion, but it wouldn't be so bad if most of these religions weren't so damned old. Men's hair can't be down to the shoulders? And you can't kill people?! This shit is bonkers. Oh wait, unless God tells you to do it, therefore contradicting his own effing decree. Why didn't he just say "Thou shalt not kill unless I tell you to, or if it's in self-defense, or the person does not believe in me"? Moses was probably tired of carving all that shit, so he just summed it up
