We can't leave this door open.

Christianity brought us out of the muck and made us great, but it's influence has become a poison.

We must let it go, and evolve. Let the sub-humans continue to talk to the sky-men. Let the sand-people blow themselves up, let the poo's worship their rat-ancestors.

We are eternally bounded by our race and our blood not by our superstitions.

Athiesm was never meant to be mainstream. It's only a belief which should have been restricted to certain social circles.

It's been used as a tool for ages as social control to keep less degenerate religions away from Europe. Christianity is the mother religion which spawned much of western culture and it's dogma towards domestic pacifism.

It's sounds bizarre to people with an iq over 100, but there are hundreds of millions of people in the world who are just too stupid to not kill each other. Religion provides them with a mode of behavior that shuns self destructive behavior.

I see all these faggots in this thread not arguing the existence of God. There is no god, at least the monotheistic one that you believe in. In monotheistic religions, God is said to have unlimited power, to be all good, and to be all knowing. Would you agree?

Now think of it like this. Your god is put in a situation. If your god was powerful enough to create the world, could he create a rock he can not lift? If yes, then he can not lift it, meaning he is not all powerful, and if no, then that means he can't create something, which completely throws creationism out the window and shows again, he is not all powerful. It is also impossible for any deity to know everything. What if there was something your god didn't know about not knowing about? And if your god is all good, definitely meaning not to sin, since those are his own rules on what makes people good, he could not know everything at the same time. Your god wouldn't know what it feels like to lust over someone, to be greedy, to be wrathful, etc. because that would make him not all good.

Now, being atheist does not mean completely changing everything you think about, only faggots think like that (which unfortunately most atheists are.) I still carry belief in some of the moral teachings of Christianity because they're more logical than the retarded leftists' ideology.
>>
>>80880266
Then he is not all-powerful which goes against the narrative of the Bible which is the basis for the Christian faith.

Okay

P1. God exists and is omnipotent, omniscient, and wholly good.
P2. God, although omnipotent, cannot create a world in which there are free human creatures and no free will.
P3. A world with free human creatures and some evil is a better world that a world without no free human creatures.
P4. God creates the best world he can.

C1. Evil exist.

There's no argument that idiots need a compulsion into civilization, but for those of us with above room temperature IQ, it's clear that from the start, religion was adapted as a control by the ruling elite. Even adopted by it, so that the proles could see their rulers shared the same faith.

The false prophets must be crushed. So their flock at least wont entirely follow them in their rally on the broad path to death.

How the hell did you miss my argument so completely?

Where did I ever argue that God existed?

Your entire argument about proles shows that you are incapable of casting aside your pride and objectively studying the results of lands ruled by Christianity as opposed to any other religion or atheism.
Because you've been deceived is not an objective reason to deny the value of something, in fact its in many ways a betrayal of your "above room temperature IQ" argument.
Besides, I'm not going to defend the actions of the churches, in fact I specifically only spoke of the teachings of Jesus for that precise reason.

Hedonism and degeneracy have existed at all times in the past, at the height of christianity and now in the present.

Your religion did absolutely nothing to dissuade people from being sick fucks, then going to church on sunday and asking for forgiveness, rinse repeat.

I'm not defending those people, but it's pretty clear that it's human nature to find deviant behavior, in some people at least.

God or no god, hedonism will persist.

At what point did christianity EVER stop this, unless it was by brutal force, murder, torture?

If that's what you're going to stand upon, then christianity is literally no different than islam, in terms of how 'successful' they are at stopping degeneracy.

And in both cases, God never intervened or existed at all.

And please don't just think "Yeah... perhaps someday". No. I strongly suggest you read those books. Pdfs are available online, if you know where to look.

You are actually teeming to the mouth with logical fallacies that I am convinced you have no idea what it means to make a proper argument that is properly constructed.

Let me be the first to introduce you to the concept of correlation does not imply causation. You may have heard it in reference to statistics, but that is not the end of this very far reaching statement.

Correlation does not imply causation.

The most advanced civilizations of history.

I'll list a few.
Ming China
Mughal India
Post-enlightened Europe
Europe during the Industrial Revolution
The Roman Empire

You claim that all these civilizations have one thing in common and that is religion.

Okay.

This is true. No one is denying this. But you have truncated your implication that because they had organized religion in their societies that they were technological sophisticated. You didn't at all mention the fact that these were societies with... millions of economic individuals who were looking to improve their way of life. You didn't at all mention that these were societies with rulers who wanted to win wars and found that science and technology was extremely important to victory (see Frederick the Great and the Prussian Academy of Sciences)

Actually, there are thousands of factors that contribute to why these civilizations became so advanced during their history. Even things like climate and geography.

But you are implying that it was religion. And for Europe. It was Christianity that was in fact the reason why civilizations have prospered.

This is false on many levels the most bothersome to me is on a logical level. It is logical fallacious and I know you are so dense as to reject me and what I am saying completely but nevertheless I will say it. Please for the sake of your own dignity cease to make fallacious arguments.

On historical grounds it is even more so false.
Christianity is the very antithesis of systematic deducation based upon evidence and rejects completely the epistemological grounds of which science is based upon.

The success of Europe and the so-called Christian lands (although it is not only true as "success" was only limited to a few West European countries. It was not even true of countries like Italy and Central Europe which were deeply Christian) was not because of Christianity but because the wise few individuals of this continent got sick of Christian and Clergy nonsense.

You're really reducing yourself to a semantic argument over my timeframe? That example literally predates Jesus and comes from a time where Christianity didn't exist. Furthermore, based on how you've approached your argument to now its as if you think degeneracy existing at all is the same thing as it overwhelming society, that's pathetically simplistic.

>>80888596

So even without ANY observable personal experience, you are willing to devote a lifetime of faith to a religion that cannot support its own claims?

Would have been born into Islam, do you believe that you would be a devout Muslim now, instead of a Christian?

Do you understand my dilemma now?

Under different circumstances, you would be singing the praises of XENU, because whatever fantasy was first introduced to you, you were and are willing to make excuses for.

Do you fully understand the implication of what I just said? You are a willing puppet.

we have to, because methodological naturalism presupposes the non-existence of the supernatural.

Sodom and Gomorrah both existed in the bible, so it's a relevant parable for you.

Further, it exemplifies how high civilization existed, and you already agreed to this, in the distant past predating Christianity.

Just as now, high civilization exists and DESPITE Christianity, hedonism still exists!

Religion DID NOTHING at all to prevent it!

Open your eyes to the world enough to see it for what it is. Degeneracy without religion runs rampant. Atheism breeds the age of anything goes. Pedophilia acceptance is on the rise. There are more faggots than ever. Mental illness is accepted as normal. Our children are taught about LGBT shit in kindergarten now, how long until Pedophilia is taught to our kindergarterners?

People are disgusting without a guiding light. Look at our television and pornography. Look at our films. Look at modern art, and literature.

There is no beauty in the majority of the west anymore

yes, for the same reason i believe hawaii exists, even though i'd never been there.
or for the same reason you believe that you're replying to a real person, and that 4chan isn't just a turing test.

hell if i know. i'm glad i wasn't though.
if i were born 3000 years ago i wouldn't know that the moon isn't made out of cheese, but that has no bearing on what the moon is made out of.

Yet at any time you have the option of going there, viewing live feed of hawaii, asking people who've been to hawaii.

Is this some sort of argument against the fact that modern science is responsible for the success of a few Western European countries to dominate the entire world against all others factors?

>What is deduction?
Look it up. You think you are going stump my entire argument and that I'm collapse because you are clever and can ask me to define my terms?

>because we have to
What are you trying to prove? That science is epistemological inferior to faith and organized religion because of methodological naturalism? I'm not here to lecture you on the philosophical basis of science. You can look that up yourself. What I am saying is that Christianity is not responsible for the success of a few Western European countries to dominate the world above all other factors but because Western European countries were the first countries to fully embrace science as a tool to improve and enhance civilization.

What is also true is that Britain, France Germany the three most successful European countries were the first few countries to become secular countries eliminating the Clergy and Christian influences from their governments. The idea that Christianity has helped these countries dominate the world is laughable at best.

right, just like at any time, you have the option of believing in Christ, living a good Christian life, dying, and seeing what happens.

The difference being that none of what you just compared hawaii to actually exists.

Again. You have no idea what morality even is. You think the pinnacle of morality is through sexual conservatism. You think, that if we gave up porn, we stopped being gay, etc.. that we would be a moral society.

That if things just became like Victorian society it would be fine. You are a tragic cause and I don't need to tell you how obscenely ridiculous it sounds.

Religion and morality are not synonymous. Morality does not depend upon religion although for some this is "an almost automatic assumption". According to The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Ethics, religion and morality "are to be defined differently and have no definitional connections with each other. Conceptually and in principle, morality and a religious value system are two distinct kinds of value systems or action guides."

no, i really don't care about the utility angle of religion/christianity.
truth is truth regardless of whether or not it's convenient.

>That science is epistemological inferior to faith and organized religion because of methodological naturalism?
no. 'faith and organized religion' aren't epistemic methodologies anyway.
i was just pointing out why we wouldn't cripple ourselves by only using methodological naturalism, and implying that it's circular to approach the question of whether or not God exists with it too.

It's feudalism really. Kings, Queens and Guillotines. I don't mind the Da Joo, it was the original incarnation and not that you can blame the rest for copying the social structure.

Why not just chuck the sky fairies into the trash and serfs who want to live under neo-feudalism can go do that and leave the atheists and Pagans alone to live the one short life we all have in peace from the cultists?

Well good for you. I don't see how I should cater to your preferences though.

I was speaking about a very specific topic and that I was referring to another anon's grossly false claim that organized religion is the reason that civilizations are advanced as they are.

Maybe you haven't read the thread, maybe you are selfish and you think everything I type should be tailored to your needs; I really don't know or care.

>I was just pointing out

No you aren't. Science has chosen to use a specific subset of epistemic methodologies to learn about nature. Religion has chosen another.

This not a discussion on the origins of scientific knowledge or religion knowledge. We are talking specifically about the the utility both areas have provided to civilization.

Cut off for some reason.

And your criticism of methodological naturalism is something that scientists are well aware of and understood. You aren't the first person to say "well how can you claim to understand the universe if you can't explain the supernatural".

The idea of God or the supernatural is outside the lens of science. Science does not care about God nor does it have an answer to God. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Science is based upon the ideas of the scientific method of which evidence must be empirical, repeatable and reproducible and most importantly falsifiable.

>Very obvious positive correlation exists between religiosity and advanced civilizations
>Despite that you're completely wrong because other factors also exist
You're right, a lot of factors go into success, but you're committing the exact dishonesty you're accusing me of by implying that because those factors may also be relevant religion automatically is not.

Success has never been logical, so I can see how you'd hold disdain for the illogical when looking for answers, but it is a very powerful unifying, encouraging, and motivating factor to bring people and armies under your control. Like I stated in the previous argument, just because you've found out that churches may have lied doesn't mean that you can discount the value of religion in these things.
And where do you get that Italy was a failure? It was a major mover in science up until the past few hundred years. In fact, where have you made an actual quantifiable argument against it other than repeatedly asserting that these things happened in spite of religion without providing any actual evidence of them occurring without it?
