Comment on Do You Believe in Hell? by Dbone

Dbone — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 03:34:27 +0000

Hell is/was created to scare people into being good and give/donate money! Their is no such thing as hell! Quit scaring the young – those to ignorant to understand. And the old – those who will die, gutted and buried. I get a kick out of reading about “You are going to hell, if you do not listen to me”. People of the world. Do not believe this. Idiots who preach this are doing it, to make Money from you. Like we say in the West. “You can’t buy your way into Heaven.” But yet, people really believe that htis is possible. What happens is the preachers, comes to you when you are about dead and asks you to include them in the will. If you have no family heirs then, they have made a whole lot of Money. This is how Churches work. Their are over 300 Million People in the USA, you don’t have to bullshit but, a few to build a Church. The downright fact is: When you die, you get gutted, bled then burned, your ashes are dumped in a landfill to be forgotten forever. What you see at a funeral is a shell of oneself. What you see in a plot, are people buried on top of each other. Land is to valuable to be kept as an Cemetary. In 50 years or less, they use Cemetary Sections/Plots as new home sites. And people will never know the difference.

Comment on Amish by Donna Casale

Take another look at the Amish, the are running horrific filthy puppy mills in Lancaster PA. They have breeding dogs and puppy in cramped filthy barnes. These dogs live thier lives in cages and never get out. Amish Farmers debark the dogs by shoving a rod down their throats so they don’t bark, the do C-sections without anesthesia on pregnant dogs. Dogs are in barnes in darkness, not lights, no heat or a/c. When the breeding dogs can no longer breed they are either shot or drowned and used in the fields as fertilizer. They say that dogs have no feelings. Not that Godly huh? What a way to treat God’s creaturess and man’s best friend! Thnk again. They are secretive and greedy, and they hide behind the plain clothes, green shades and horse and buggy. I’ve only told you a little of what goes on, they also keep dogs in rabbit hutches outside in the elements, in PA all year long! Please do not support them, do not buy dogs at petshops or online. Visit Mainline Animal Rescue.

It’s about 22% for South Korea, according to the South Korean National Statistical Office. North Korea estimates 4.5% of its population is Buddhist, but I think that sounds low…hope this helps! – RT

Comment on Q&A with President of American Atheists by BuzzLOL

This article is being misrepresented by Religion Transcends, as expected… they insinuate here and in tweets that the atheist says don’t learn about religions… but he actually says the opposite, he says learn the basics of each religion addiction, which will actually give you more knowledge of that religion than 99% of its addicts know, and give an ability to explain what is wrong with it… but don’t waste your whole life studying any religion, anymore than you would Greek Classics… they’re not worth it…

Also, the answer to psychotic religious terrorism will not be found in India or in religion! As the film (NOT a ‘documentary’, too dishonest in its premise to be a documentary) points out, every religion has written orders to kill anyone not of that religion! Even Jesus says, “I bring not peace, but the sword…” -Leviticus .. India has only 8 religions according to the film, the USA has Normal People and EVERY religion and belief system living in it more or less peaceably side by side, because secular/atheist/Normal People who set up the USA demanded that 250 years ago!… So the idea is not ‘new’ among Normal People! NOTHING about the USA says to kill everyone who is not an American! So the secular USA (or similar France) is THE PLACE to look for world peace… NOT in religion…!

I came across this article via a friend’s post on Facebook so I’m not a regular reader of Religion Transcends.

I’m a former Christian turned Agnostic. Agnostic because I feel there’s not enough proof one way or another on the possibility of some form of “creator”, but I’m convinced there’s no need for the various man-made religious dogmas. Having explained that about myself, I wanted to say that I do agree with Jackie’s rebuttal, as well as, the comment left by Byron. We all gain when we work to better understand the motivations of our neighbor. The more we know one another, our languages, traditions and histories, the better we communicate on all levels that affect us all regardless of religious opinion.

The first two questions did strike me silly, though. Atheists, like LGBT people, are diverse. More diverse than any group coming together to share a belief in a certain religious doctrine as far as ideas like holidays would be concerned. Personally, I celebrate any holiday my boss gives me time off of work for! (humor)
