I think they have to look Irish and wear a green jacket too? I'm dusty on Irish mythology.

Witcher 3 is up there with FFVII on the all time greats list. Recently I've been mostly playing Stellaris... which is one of those games that just falls short of being a classic I've been playing through that one recently to replace my obsession with Crusader Kings 2. My latest playthrough I got an...

Evolution on this planet produced humans. I could definitely see it producing a race similar to us but shorter (and still obsessed with gold) on another lol.

Clever diversionary one-liner. But - with the partial exception of Mormonism - EVERY religion being discussed in this thread (and pretty much all the other religion-topic threads) are derived from holy books and traditions that range from 1300 to 2000 to 3400 years ago. Bronze age and Iron age stuf...

these religion threads are stupid it's just the same 4 or 5 people just going around chest thumping about how their position is self-evidently right and the other side is closed-minded and not listening to them for like 90 posts why dont yall do something productive with your day? take a walk or lo...

Lol I wasn't aware aardvarkarmy was asking about how to get religious knowledge 500+ years ago. My bad Clever diversionary one-liner.

Most religions (at least Jews/Christians/Muslims/Mormons) believe in a holy book where people can get their communications from God. No priestly class needed to read those books. Somebody doesn't know their history. For most of history, the Christian priestly class absolutey did hide the bible from...

Most religions (at least Jews/Christians/Muslims/Mormons) believe in a holy book where people can get their communications from God. No priestly class needed to read those books. There are MANY apocryphal books, both old and new testament. The priestly class decides which books you read, even which...

Most religions (at least Jews/Christians/Muslims/Mormons) believe in a holy book where people can get their communications from God. No priestly class needed to read those books. Fluminator, you believe in God, yet you also believe that all the holy books are wrong. So how does this help us? I don'...

I'm sure one of the planets will hav'em!

For the record I know it's a bad argument to appeal to majority. The point of it was to show how it's not weird to have an opinion that differs from a majority view.

I used Wikipedia. I admit it's not the most accurate source but it didn't change the point that much.

Why do so many Christians get it wrong in my opinion? I'm assuming you're asking about hell specifically? I personally think a lot of it is vestigial theological baggage from the middle ages when hell propaganda was spread by the Catholic Church to encourage more subservience. I've never been to the...

For the record, if there was an everlasting hellfire torture chamber waiting for us in the afterlife, I actually do agree there is no way to justify the suffering of this world with an all-loving God. So you agree that Christianity is either a meaningless religion or a fathomless cult? Cool, we're ...

It got the ball rolling so it works :P I guess I just expected more from you after reading your input in that other thread about Disney. Literally all you've done is proclaim God is impossible and meaningless and refuse to expand on anything beyond that or even back up those claims a sliver. You've ...

It seems a big part of the whole Christian thing. I know you're not a Christian but as an atheist we regularly have to put up with Christians warning us we'll go to hell. To be fair to the Christians telling you that, if they actually believe you're going to be burning in hell for eternity, it make...

Why are you all always so desperate to link God with hell lol. Are you afraid to face the idea of God on its own so you bring in hell to make it easier to argue against? It seems a big part of the whole Christian thing. I know you're not a Christian but as an atheist we regularly have to put up wit...
