The bible

You curse like a sailor, and you dropped to your knees to worship Trump who is the earthly embodiment of avarice,pride, gluttony, sloth, lust.

You would be hard pressed to find posts of mine where I indulge in cursing, hate, anger, resentment, grievance, or prideful narcissism.


You would also be challenged to find any post of mine denying the concept of a higher power or deity. I just do not accept the anthropomorphic version of a Christian God the biblical literalists insist on

What do you believe? YHWH,Allah,Native Americans Great Spirit,Trump,as far as Christians you don't agree with the book,and are completely silent as far as The Holy Spirit.
Looks like Spiritual Babylon.

Spinoza's God.

I maintain that the seemingly purposeful force behind the mathmatical scaffolding of reality - underlying the physical laws of nature - associated with the fine-tuning of the universe, is unknowable and unfathomable to the limits of human cognition.

The Abrahamic God, Brahman, The Dao are just different faces humans have put on this concept of a higher truth.

Translation Spinoza is your God,unless you can be specific who Spinoza's God is,what's his name where does he live?

What if Spinoza's God turns out to be YHWH,Allah?
Is this the blindman describing an Elephant?

Who engineered this? Or did it all come together by dumb luck?

No luck, but also no engineer.

The concept of the "Intelligent Designer" is little more than a wussy version of Creationism. Except that it is really close to unfalsifiable.

Instead of just pointing at the earth and saying "looks designed to me!" why don't you tell me your FAVORITE SINGLE PIECE OF IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY. Then we can talk.

Who has the smarter audience, science or religion?

Science tells us that history goes back 5000 years.
Religion tells us that the earth is 6000 years old.

I can show that Java Man goes back almost 1 million years. Who helped him heal his femur?

According to Wikipedia, Java Man is estimated to be between 700,000 and 2,000,000 years old. He needed a good wife and tribe to heal his broken leg. This ape is part of our consciousness, therefore part of our history. There is no such thing as prehistory.

What "religion" gave you the "6000 year " figure?
 
Speculating on Java Man's wife. She had to have influence over the tribe to prevent them from leaving Java Man behind to die. There had to be a sense of community one million years ago that stayed close to home.
 
Is there another choice other than religion or science? Java Man is not in your vocabulary.

No, where do you get "5000 years" and "6000 years"? I can assume the 6,000 comes from Bishop Ussher, but the 5000???

And as to the Java Man reference, what femur are you talking about? And would it surprise you if one creature actually survived a broken femur at some point? Does it HAVE to be a miracle of God where God comes down to earth, heals a femur of a non-speaking animal, and then leaves it there as silent witness for eternity of the TRUTH of your specific sect of Christianity?
 
Male Supremacy is written into the Bible!

God is a Male- A Father of Jesus.

Eve was created from a Supreme Male's Rib.

Eve was the weak one who ate the forbidden fruit.

It was OK for men to Stone their wives to death for adultery, according to the Bible.

Lot's wife, the weak sex, looked back, she turned to a pillar of salt upon the "sight of God" descending to rain destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah.

Eve was created after Adam and she was created to be his helper, this must be proof that God intended Adam to have authority over Eve.

Timothy 2:11–14 blames woman for the transgressions of mankind, hence places her in the position of subservience

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

Corinthians 14:34–35

Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

A wife is a man’s property: You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Exodus 20:17

Daughters can be bought and sold: If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. Exodus 21:7

A raped daughter can be sold to her rapist: 28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. Deuteronomy 22:28-29

Collecting wives and sex slaves is a sign of status: He [Solomon] had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 1 Kings 11:3

Used brides deserve death: If, however the charge is true and no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. Deuteronomy 22:20-21.

Women, but only virgins, are to be taken as spoils of war: Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. Numbers 31:17-18

Menstruating women are spiritually unclean: 19 “‘When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening. 20 “‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. 21 Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 22 Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, . . . 30 The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge. 31 “‘You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place,[a] which is among them.’” Leviticus 15: 19-31

A woman is twice as unclean after giving birth to girl as to a boy: A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. ‘ 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding. 6 ” ‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering. Leviticus 12: 1-8

A woman’s promise is binding only if her father or husband agrees: 2 When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said. 3 “When a young woman still living in her father’s household makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge 4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all her vows and every pledge by which she obligated herself will stand. 5 But if her father forbids her when he hears about it, none of her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand; the LORD will release her because her father has forbidden her. . . . . A woman’s vow is meaningless unless approved by her husband or father. But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will release her. 13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself. Numbers 30:1-16

Women should be seen not heard: Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 1 Corinthians 14:34

Wives should submit to their husband’s instructions and desires: Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Colossians 3:18

In case you missed that submission thing . . . : Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Ephesians 5:22-24.

More submission – and childbearing as a form of atonement: A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. 1 Timothy 2: 11-15

Women were created for men: For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. 7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 1 Corinthians 11:2-1

Sleeping with women is dirty: No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as first-fruits to God and the Lamb. Revelation 14:3-4
