Hitler was not a rightist radical. He was a fascist dictator who claimed to work for the welfare of the people. Also one of the words in the full form of NAZI mean Socialism or Socialist. Hitler shook hands with communists. He was one of the last persons on earth who would favor right-wing...
According to the Bible, Jesus Christ says
"Judge not lest you be judged"
Then are the Court of Laws in accordance with Christianity, since they judge all the time. Wouldn't it be against this principle to call Satan evil since calling anything good or bad, inefficient or efficient, honest...
Why most of the religions preach practically the same things?
Human nature remains the same. It doesn't change. The things that the first religion taught (God, Faith, Belief, Selflessness, Altruism, etc.) was widely accepted by the people, especially the weaker, less able section. Why would...
First of all, Sun's working is not complex, neither is Earth's rotation. Sun is simply gases with hydrogen and helium in core and loads of other gases surrounding the core. Biological life is complex. But that does not mean that someone has to create it. The kind of conditions that existed...
Even if God created everything, God is reason, God is justification for everything, that is no reason to suppose that his whims are not affected by time. There is no proof to back this up. God is not guided by reason since he is reason. He is not guided by anything. Therefore his wants or...
Ummm...From taking pride in all the good work you have done and feeling the excitement and joy that you can do more, knowing that you will be rewarded for it? After all, there is no joy for a slave.
Just because we know good and evil does not mean we will all sin. If we are born with a propensity for sin, then we are born with a propensity for doing good.
But if reason is not higher than God and God is the reason and justification of everything, then what pleases Him is what we should do.
Since reason is not higher than God and God is reason, pleasure of God is based on whim.
If what God wants is based on whim, there is absolutely no way to know...
People dedicated their lives to disprove Copernicus and Galileo. The people were wrong. Reality professed otherwise.
Why is the modern Bible not reliable?
First of all, there is no clear author.
It has been edited numerous times. It is nearly certain that the meaning and content of many...
Do you mean to say that we should accept and do what God says without questioning, without asking why?
If God exists and God is not higher than reason, God is ultimate, God doesn't need any justification for his actions because God is the justification for everything, does that mean that we...
I think here is where we differ. Although I do not believe in God, the only position of God I can accept is that of the creator of material world and the giver of free will and consciousness to man even though that is not in accordance in science.
Abstract concepts such as truth, morality and...
Hitler was just an example of an evil man. Actually he never believed what he did was wrong.
That is what I am asking. Why is God the standard? God has never offered a reason for any of His morals and beliefs. Does God base his morality on arbitrary assumption? Is God irrational? If God's...
Fathers can be wrong
What bugs me is that nowhere is any explanation, reasoning or standard provided for the moral edicts of God. So how is a person to respect God if He has not given any explanation for what He believes in?
I assume that God created the cycle of being reborn or going to heaven as per your sins as He created everything. But by what standard or logic did He decide what was good or bad? I have heard a lot of moral statements by religions and many are true but no justification behind them except for...
According to some religions, if you accept and believe in God, then you are absolved of all sins no matter how bad or evil they are but if you reject God even if you know that He exists, then you are condemned to eternal Hell or non-existence.
By what standard is a dictator like Hitler who...
Thomas Edison was a hero. George Washington was a hero. People like Charles Lindenburgh were heroes. All of them loved someone or the other. Love is an expression of a person's values. Why is love a distraction?
Why should heroes have a unique ability? Why can't heroes be ordinary men who...
It was useful in providing an explanation to the early man over things he didn't understand. But look at the results. When he started believing that thunder is caused by anger of Gods and that God needs sacrifice to be pleased, he started sacrificing his fellow men.
What did religion lead to...
