You clearly don't understand the destructive nature of sex, thats why your views do not agree with mine. let me enlighten you: this whole matrix has been built around sin, and the rejection of jesus. Just have a look at the world for a moment and tell me what do you see ? A rejection of jesus thats what i see. We've imbraced evil as a part of our lives and now many people are suffering because of it. When i look at tv all i see is sex. I could say names but then i'll probably end up listing every artist. And porn has made this world evil, corrupt and untrue. How you cannot see this is beyond me. And thanks for answering those questions i knew you would.

Yes I am married, very happily with a new bub on the way, and im sorry you think you live in a dirty world, How has porn made the world evil??. Im not a porn fan, but hey sometimes its usefull. If you really think that sex and the rejection of a 2000 year old dead guy is the cause of all the suffering in the world then your a moron, if more people were having safe, educated sex and moved away from an outdated destructive mindset of fundementalist religion the world would be a better place. Sex is an expression, individual expression is the only thing that makes us human and not drones, sitting in a cold church being told your a sinner and that sex is dirty is mind control, you are a drone.
Outdated and destructive is that how you would sum up christ and his teachings ? Then its clear to me that you haven't read the new testament and if you have then you could be stupid or ignorant ? And i think we live in a dirty world ? Are you blind ? Look at the suffering of the poor. And why ? Because we don't want change. How can billions suffer because we're lazy, greedy and selfish. Tell me How can there be enough for everyone yet somehow there isn't ? If you can. But i did read this right if we rejected the new testament and had more sex the world would be a better place ? Maybe somewhere down the road you became lost. Because please tell me how that would solve hunger, poverty, lack of knowledge and education, heating and a proper water system ? I can't wait for your response. And as for porn its the same as prostitution a woman selling her body for sex completly defiling herself in the process. Is that not destructive ? Probably not right ? But i'm speaking from a christian point of view. you know this "if any man looks at a woman lustfully then he has already commited the act in his heart" also how comes you avoid my questions ? Do you not have any answers for them ? Possibly not maybe ? Final thought: this life of mass sin we've embraced has cost the world around us. When i see certain countries suffer all i can think is this "why can't we unite and solve everything" and then it clicked some people love the world the way it is. Thanks for calling me a drone that was really creative and inspiring. i'm glad i can see the evil and sickness in the world. may YHWH bless you and your family.

Religion is slavery.. It's quite possibly the best tyranny ever devised, because it has survived so very long, and it refuses to be stamped out in democracies and authoritarian regimes alike. It is a system of slavery that knows no political affiliation, prefered economy, or higherarchy of rule. It is the lowest common denominator of tyranny, exploiting the most fundamental flaws in human beings almost as if nature intended it to be that way.
If religion were an animal, it would probably be a parasite -- possibly a leech -- and it would see itself as fortunate, because nature created a host for it to feed off of. It hijacks humanity, and commandeer's our destiny. It is both the source of great achievements of social order, as well as detrimental setbacks, by the decree of cynics and psychopaths who are personified as God in the flesh -- or the closest thing to it.
And what about God, anyhow? Is he really so great? Why doesn't he ever show himself.. Why is he strangely absent when he is needed the most, and why does he become obsolete when uncertainty is be replaced with knowledge? To need a god in the 21st century, one must ignore what is already known about much of the universe. God's role has all but vanished completely, as the only atom of relevance left for a deity is to simply prove he exists at all, just for the sake of existing.
Where does that leave us, as people? What kind of person belongs to religion, and believes in god, in this stage? What purpose does he serve? What purpose do you serve, if you believe in him?
Are religious folk being taken advantage of, or are they doing what they were bread to do; is a worship of "god" inevitable, and what use does it have in the 21st century?

Yes I would sum up Christ as outdated and destructive and more people in the world would agree with me than you.
I was raised a Catholic, I was even an alter boy lol so I have a pretty good understanding of Christianity and its beliefs, and once again it is outdated and destructive.
The suffering of the poor is due to capitalism, lack of resources for fuel and exploitation due to greed, racism, and religion.
No mate I am certainly not lost, there is no signs pointing home in life, life is a ride a free for all, the only point to life is to live.
Free energy would solve all the problems you describe, Religion only has a mild impact on anything, its used as a cover story, a bribe and an excuse, Kings along time ago figured out that their priests we great to get the public support for battles, but the priests couldn’t win them wars, priests couldn’t do anything, most people also realize this today and use religion as a hobby, its the people like you who are the problem, who take it to seriously, Jesus obsessed.
No porn is not prostitution im sure you can figure that one out, a couple may film themselves for their own private pleasure, that isn’t prostitution. Also who are you to judge anyone some prostitutes love it, they love the feeling of power its their choice and how hypocritical are you judging anyone be and Christian and all, also it is the oldest profession, it wouldn’t surprise me to know if your mate Jesus hit a pro or 2.
Ha ha if a man looks at a woman he has already committed the act in his heart. Mate we are animals with intelligence, still doesn’t change the fact we have animal instincts, I will never ever cheat on my wife because that’s my way of honoring her, but I still know what a hot chick looks like and my wife would think I was a bit strange if didn’t notice other woman, actions speak louder than words or thoughts mate.
Maybe calling you a drone was a bit harsh, but if the shoe fits.....

Im not a troll, i dont get pleasure out of annoying people, I just really enjoy conversations with people like you and I have 10hrs to kill at work, but i do enjoy a bit of a joke.
Its funny i never called you a troll ? Is that what you think you are ? And who said anything pleasure and annoying people......now i'm beginning to understand who you truly are........
You keep on using the word "objectively" in the wrong way...what you mean is "subjectively" because only you claim to have those experiences.
I really hope you see the difference between scriptures such as the bibles, and scientific texts. Comparing the two by saying both were written by man, and both are therefore equally as valid is laughable, sorry.
You can't seriously believe that a scientif paper about comets written today is the same as people claiming them to be "signs of God"?
The main difference though is that scientists label their theories as such. A theory is something you wanna prove or disprove...you don't have the whole answer yet, so you label it as a theory.
Religous people claim their scriptures are FACT! They don't have prove for a lot of the things in the bible, yet they stubornly continue to portray them as facts when they're not. And what's more, they use this as a basis to make make up laws, regulations, and policies. Those things should be based on logic, not speculation and fairy tales that can't be proven. You can follow the guidelines in scriptures for yourself, and that's fine...every human has the right to experience happiness and believe in whatever they want...AS LONG as they dont' feel the need to force it upon others.
Sadly many people like those dangerous evangelicals try to enter politics, and try to create laws based on their religious beliefs. Those people need to be stopped, because the day EMOTIONS override LOGIC when it comes to laws, is the day our society falls back to being a theocracy.
Obviously some people would like that, because it would make it soooooo easy to manipulate people, and you could basically do whatever you want as long as you find a way to justify it through religion...no matter how ridiculous or illogical it is.
Like I said before, If in the end I am wrong what have I lost? But if I am right, what have you lost?
and I will never kneel to any power/leader or god. Just my 2 cents.
