A real god would set such an insane system up? Not in THIS universe.
So you know what a real god would do, do you?
I think you are right about religion, if that is all you or anyone has they are missing
out on the real thing.

That is dumb to not believe in a God just because there is killing in this world.

It is dumb to think that anyone is as you describe. Stop wasting every bodies time with strawmen.

Your version definitely conflicts with ages obtained by radiometric dating. That is based on quantum mechanics and particle physics. Falsify those areas of physics and you might get my attention. I won't be holding my breath though.
I will repeat this video link explaining how radiometric dating of rocks is supposed to work, since you apparently do not understand radiometric dating of rocks.

Yeah, just like your scripted video you posted in science. Guy just HAPPENS to be a prof at a university in New Orleans. Big flag right there but you can just visualize the Q cards off camera so they don't go off script. They REALLY need better acting coaches.

I put up the real deal on the science forum.
But I doubt you would want to read something actually scientific with no bias, just how they do it, for instance, by correlating several different radiometric methods but creationist asssholes don't like to bring that part up, just tear at one method and ignoring the others.

We are dealing with spirituality views here. Take your scientific views back to the Science Forum. 😏

The original post is very good, very good, religious numbnuts do a lot of wrong, and whilst i respect there freedoms some would not do the same in return. Freedom from religion is very important yes, just as much as freedom of religion.

Okay, you're atheist, I get it. Stop shoving it down my throat.
So for you all the abuses I mentioned are all ok because god is just or some such?

I want to live in a society where there is freedom FROM religion not freedom OF religion.
You don't need religion involved to have people tell you what you can and cannot
do, what you can think, and so on.

Nevertheless, religion is involved in all the things he mentioned that he wants freedom from.

I think religion is meant to help bind a community together in respect and love. However, it often times oversteps those goals and attempts to do too much, like the Roman Catholic Church. Governments are formed for a similar reason, so the community can take care of larger tasks to benefit all the people and those governments are seen to overstep those goals and attempt to do to much, also, like the Roman Empire. The complaint is heard about big government then.

I believe that a person must not look out to others to provide the desired happiness, but that person must look within to find God waiting there.

When religion becomes state, thats when people need protection from it, why I wouldn't convert to Islam. But government can be just as bad, in russia people needed more protecting from stalin... I think mostly religions provide protection, rather then people needing to be protected from them. But there are exceptions yes.

So now you've decided not to join that gay accepting Christian church?
