He made a good point about how we think SLAVERY is morally wrong...

yet the bible seemed to think it was ok.. and even normal....

That is NOT good... slavery is wrong..and I don't even agree with it.. when it talks about it.. in the stories of the bible..

jlmac,

is it reasonable to control the majority of people and ease their discomfort through religion?

Who wants to control the people?

well, you have a pharoh, that rules that area, and your a mere person in the community. i doubt your gonna bash the pharohs beliefs, or try and do somthing about it. your forgetting that the writers of the bible werent protected by a constitution or freedom of speech

 

[thatguy]

i respect this guy alot, good post. the thing about this guy is that he never calls anything fake blah blah blah, he just enlightens a viewer about his view. and i agree religious people are delusional

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

humans are rational..

This can be debated. Humans have the ABILITY to be or act rational...doesnt mean that every human exercises this.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

edit: conclusion; religion is a man made delusion and a product of his rational ability and understanding of fear and power imposed on the vulnerable, impovershed, enslaved, uneducated, etc.

Why did you edit your post, damnit!

But, yes...this is something I agree with whole-heartedly. People fear what they cannot see.
