We are being intellectually dishonest and you are not? Did you even read the rest of the posts in the series since we are now at part 5 now?
"The article is nothing more than an attempt to trivialize God."
Thanks for spinning the title of the post.
"Suppose people did actually follow that religion that is used by people of power to institute control over people. Aids would most likely be wiped out by now. How? Because people would only be having sex in Wedlock and with only 1 person in their entire lifetime."
Using a unrealistic and impossible real life scenario is a way to support an argument? Come on... We live in the real world.
"blaming religion as the source of the worlds problems"
Not a conclusion stated in any of our posts.
"Mankind is whats evil"
If you had read the rest of the series and the comments by me would see you are indirectly supporting our argument! Since religion is man made it can be used for good or bad but well look at the sad history of mankind. Religious beliefs has been a main source of oppression, suffering, and war. Monetary gain and power are benefits that drive these evils but the belief that God is on your side allows it to happen and lets you sleep at night.
One of themes of the articles is God separate from religion or the same as?
For those interested in the rest of the series...
