Nope


Organized religion is


It creates the perfect scaffolding for evil people to climb to power over others


Religion is fine


Organizing it into power structures that can use that power against mankind is evil

I think the Bolsheviks were particularly resentful of religion because they saw the Tsar and the Russian Orthodox church as two sides of the same coin

If the tsarist state and the Church had not been so closely bound together, if there was some separation of church and state, the Soviet's campaign against religion might have been less harsh.
 
Man is inherently moral


Yes individuals may be immoral


That is because they have malfunctioning brain wiring


They are the exception and not the rule


They are not fully functioning humans

How long have you known you are bipolar, Jack? You're in your late 60s now, aren't you?

See, this is what YOU posted: "Religion was the main proponent of the sciences in the ancient world. Why do you think that was? "
Then, I posted this: "You know that because of this guy, NOT 'Religion'.

"Galileo was once again called before the Inquisition and this time was found guilty of heresy. Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1633. Because of his age and poor health, he was allowed to serve his imprisonment under house arrest. Galileo died on January 8, 1642.
Date of death: January 8, 1642
Born: February 15, 1564, Pisa
Professions: physicist, astronomer

Galileo Galilei - StarChild - NASA"

Proving that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Not just the Bolsheviks, but all the natives of South and Central American when the Spaniards moved in with the Catholic Church tagging along.

Interestingly, who were the heroes and who were the villains in Alexander Dumas's Musketeer books? LOL

Because the tsars USED belief to control others


Which is why organized religion is evil


Individuals are forced to tailor their natural beliefs to fit a power structure and not the souls of individual humans


Organized religion can not exist without forcing others to bow to the created power over their own souls inherent knowledge

Disagreed. There are beliefs and there are religions which are simply people with the same beliefs.

A person doesn't need a church to have beliefs, but if they belong to a religion, there are rules for that religion.

For example, how could a Satanic cocksucker like PmP be a Christian based on his total abandonment of Christian values? He can't. Sure, he can say he believes in Jesus, but his actions are totally contrary to the Christian religion therefore, he's not a Christian.

Define Christian values?Outside of Jesus the entire Christian religion organized or not is made up of sinners and fuck ups.

I figured you'd refuse to answer the bipolar question. Jack, your "proof" about Galileo and the Catholics in 1642 AD negates over 1,600 years of religious history after the Crucifixion.

Why do you think your Galileo and the Catholics is definitive proof of everything you believe?

:) I've given you my 2 cents on the topic. If anybody is 'dodging and tap dancing' it's you.
In your brain, the Asians, the Africans, and everybody else born before the New Testament was stated was immoral and unethical and had no code of honor to live by.

Cypress over thinks everything,but has no beliefs ,classic can't see the forest for the trees.
 
We are moral because we are human


There are exceptions individually


Broken and malformed people


If you feel compassion is often FAKED


You must face that you are very likely a broken or malformed human


ITS NOT FAKED BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMANS


it’s real


Just studying the field of advertising can prove that to you


Kindness sells

Even broken people know that


They think it’s stupid for kindness to sell


That is not true

It’s wonderful that kindness sells


The stupid part comes to in from the evil fuck who uses the fact that kindness sells to harm others


Being evil is being stupid


Caring is not stupid


It’s human and SMART

We are a pack animal at heart


Mutually aided survival

The loner had a very low level of survival and reproduction

We NEED each other


Which creates a moral code based on survival


Those that survived to reproduce and populate were those with a better natural propensity to feel compassion for others


That requires a higher brain function

And ability to over ride fright or flight


To think of others first

The survival of the pack over the individuals survival


To work in tandem with other requires higher brain function also


Hence mankind’s brains grew

Those with better survival and reproduction rates had higher brain function


A genetic preference for individuals with higher brain function was inseparable from compassion for others

We are compassionate because we were smart

To be human is to be compassionate


Those with aberrations of the brain that make them in compassionate are flawed humans


It may seem harsh but it is just true



We are born with morals as a species


Most people are mostly good


A few are like saints


And a few are complete rat bastards


Humanity explained

I'm thinking Trump is one of those "rat bastards"
