How is the Christ Redeemer statue not decaying the nation?

[sovietchild]

Let's think about this. Let's presume that God has a son is a corrupted idea. If this idea is corrupted then it breeds corrupted ideas within the nation. It decays the country. Brazil is known to be a murder capital of the world. If this practice (to put up a statue of Jesus in order to attract visitors) is to deceive others in order to make money, then it only breeds anti-social practices.

Is it because of the hot weather Brazil is so criminal? Is it because of population so high that Brazil is so criminal? Or, is it because of the religion, because the religion could be corrupted.

How can Christ Redeemer statue not decay the nation? If it is corrupted, then it will only breed corruption through entire nation and it's neighbors. Right? Please.
Regards.

look at what Religion usually has suicide bombers. Should we blame the Religion?

 

[Kirran]

Well, there are 14 countries with higher intentional homicide rates than Brazil, and none of them have comparable statues, so I am inclined to think other factors are at work.

Furthermore, the three countries with the lowest murder rate are of the same religious denominational majority as Brazil.

The thing is, Jesus preached radical charity and forgiveness. He even preached "love your enemies". If everyone in Brazil was following that Religion, there would not be a single homicide!

I don't like Christianity. I think it's stupid. But I don't make threads like this because it's rude. How would you reply to a thread where the idea posited is that the notion of a prophet after Jesus was inherently corrupt?

Ehhhhhh. Matthew 10:34 and onwards;

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."

Well, you don't know how Brazil would look like without that statue.

It could be much worse, how do you know? Even assuming that whatever you say about Brazil is true.

Which I cannot judge, since I do not live there.

So, your argument is a gigantic non sequitur.

So you're suggesting that the statue, because it's a depiction of fiction, radiates a magical energy that corrupts people, places, and things within a certain radius? For example, people will find themselves overcome with inexplicable urges to rob and murder due to their proximity to said statue? The character is a corruptible influence even if , despite being a myth, they represented and embodied positive attributes such as peace, love, compassion, charity, hospitality, and forgiveness?

Is this why images of Muhammad are prohibited, to prevent those who would gaze upon them from magically transforming into pedophile predators?

Jesus never once commanded violence. Repeatedly he commanded the opposite. Repeatedly he commanded people to not commit violence.

He said he brought a sword and division. He did. People started immediately killing Christians at that time so he did indeed bring a sword and division.

Good ****ing grief, now it's not only corrupting Brazil but its neighbours too.

It is a statue. A piece of stone made into a shape. Some people think it's quite pretty, that's about it.

Jesus Wept. Right? Please.

Well duh. I mean, it gives a +4 Culture boost and a boost to tourism. I would prefer the Colossus though, +3 Gold, a free Trader and +1 Great Merchant points per turn!

What is being "violated", and how?

Oops, I saw a picture of that statue once. Actually, more than once.

Am I corrupted and feeling the need to kill someone now?

It's because their statue is bigger!

So why is there a higher homicide rate in Gabon than Brazil?

If the belief is a violated belief then it breeds violation within the society.

At this point, I think the only thing more delusional than these OPs are the people who are still making an attempt to respond to them.

I don't know why any of you guys are still bothering.

 

[Spiderman]

Denmark, iceland, and Cyprus have the lowest crime rates. They must have the true Religion and the fewest Statues lol

I do not speak for anyone else.
Just for myself when I provide you this reason:

Boredom relief​

I'll bet 5 frubals that no Muslim seriously contradicts sovietchild's Islamically pure assertions in this thread either.
