@bathroom bro,
your comments are full of non sequitur. Yes i do take tynelol sometimes. Just like you have taken Penicillin discovered by a Christian (Alexander Fleming). Just like you enjoy the many discoveries and inventions made by Christians. Use google to find out more. I have not researched who discovered Tynelol/Aspirin but will not be surprised if it was a Christian.
If you believe Nepal/India are examples of egalitarian and meritocratic societies then good for you. For me the answer is negative. I consider the West to be that example to a large extent. And what a coincidence, their religion happens to be Christianity and christmas is their public holiday.
@kiddo bro,
Agnostic is not an Atheist. You have to remember that Warren Buffett was a Presbyterian before he became Agnostic. They grow up in a Christian society and a christian upbringing. So you really have to wonder how much of his altruistic behaviour was due to his upbringing. These values are taught in their childhood as the "christian thing to do". Dawkins question about "Who created God" is not valid to Theists because they do not believe in a created God.
@snurp bro,
Agree to some extent but the concept of religion by itself is not negative. Not everyone is Einstein so similarly not everyone can be Jesus or Buddha. Even though we all have the same brain, our abilities to connect with the knowledge out there are different. Just because you and I are unable to experience God, it doesnt mean Jesus didnt. Just because you and i cannot connect with that knowledge through meditation, it doesnt mean Buddha couldnt. In another post someone reported that a person is experimenting with time travel at present. But why only him?. There is no lack of educated and erudite intellectuals out there. Only his brain seems to connect with that knowledge. Maybe there are some others. The population of the world in billions yet its is only a few who make discoveries and change the world.
@Eutaby,
I cannot fault Christians for their good values. I can fault them for the Crusades in their history but when it comes to charity, i cannot fault them. You might say they have ulterior motives to convert people but as long as the people converting are happy, i dont really care. And noone should care also.
@Rethink,
if you are happy, will the question "why are you sad?" make sense?. Christians do not believe in a created God.
@Kiddo,
Hitler was an Atheist. If you read his whole history you will find out. One becomes a Christian or Hindu or Buddhist by actions. Hindus are not supposed to eat beef. Many hindus still do. Buddhists should not be leading a rich and lavish lifestyle, many still do. Jesus said "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecutes you". So a Jesus lover should never kill.
@Vasudev,
you are wrong. People do not always do good things because they are good. You keep to your speed limit for fear of getting fined. You do not drink and drive for fear of getting fined/jailed. You do your homework for fear of getting detention. So religion serves the same ulterior motive you speak of.
@_____bro,
i called you copy paste because you have a symbol as your ID. And you were copy pasting. No offence was intended and no motive was designed.
We assume that God must help when humans are making war and sitting duck. God has already helped. Medicines to cure the sick, Money to alleviate poverty and to give food, Raw materials in the environment to build houses, etc. Do you want God to come personally to give CPR?. Do you want God to open up a bank account and transfer money to the poor?. God gave us private parts but who misused it to reproduce like leeches?. Did God make 7 billion people?.
So was there a time when there was no time?.
I talked of Christian charities and you gave me a link of 25K charity. I was talking more on the lines of World Vision(1950), Salvation Army(1865) . Red Cross (1859), etc. Can you give me one example and the year that started in Nepal?. Just take a look around Nepal/India, does it appear that charity has been prevalent there as a major component of society. I know religion has encouraged that but no use if it is not practiced. It is the actions that count, not the words written in holy book.
