… a threat and a promise from bible mythology.

Thanks

I suspect many of them haven't developed an internal moral compass.

Do you come across Christian nonsense on a daily basis.

Thanks

Just stop thinking its real, and there you have it.

Thanks

and leave its victims open to other nonsensical beliefs.

Thanks

Cleary everyone who imagines a heaven exists, imagines one for themselves.

So are there 2 billion different heavens?

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

You'll notice them because they ask questions only pertaining to America but never say so. Like America is their world.

Or is it just that America is a very self absorbed society?

Thanks

Fear of mortal reality is a prime Christian motivation

Thanks

Thanks

Shouldn't it just be happy it got away with it for so long?

Christendom had a good run in the dark ages and surely received a much longer life than its inventers expected.Thanks

Every person I know of that truly understands the bible is an atheist.

Thanks

Thanks

I'd say it's child indoctrination, as without it Christianity would die off quicker than just becoming more fringe.

Sure without government backing there would be no religious schools and tax free status etc, but Christianity would still produce millions of child recruits through parental and organizational indoctrination.

Which one do you think?

Thanks

I do feel a little sorry for the millions of children of Christian parents, as these children receive a fictional view of the world in their major developmental years.

But sympathy is hard to find for the adults as there comes a time when they should be able to think for themselves and they choose not to.

Thanks

As before they have developed reasoning skills most Christian parents will teach their children that

- an always existed invisible god made everything

- it's a virtue to believe in things without evidence.

- they are born bad and need forgiveness or else

- bible god murdering humanity in a flood is great story

- this humanity murdering god is the meaning of love

- they can talk to the sky and get things fixed

- bible god is always watching, he's everywhere

- children who don't worship bible god go to hell

- they better be good our they will go to hell

- an evil invisible ground wizard is out to get them to hell

- doubting bible god is the evil invisible ground wizard

- bible god via a virgin, sent himself as a sacrifice to himself so he could forgive humanity for how he made us and save us from a hell he made.

- they can talk to bible god through his sacrifice and ask for forgiveness for being themselves.

etc. 

Thanks

Maybe they are too scared of imaginary hell and see questions as a threat to their imaginary heaven ticket or is it that their faith is gossamer on evidence so they run from honest evaluation incase it gets damaged...

Or something else or a combo of fears.Take a guess pleaseMy guess is 100% don't allow their faith to be honestly evaluated.Thanks 

Before those children have developed reasoning skills.

Thanks

If I was an all powerful god I could speak to everyone in their own language at the same time to provide evidence. I wouldn't hide behind no evidence. The bible is not evidence of god just like a book of pixies is not evidence of pixies. Ones imagination that a god exists is not evidence, it is imagination. Thanks from this anti theist atheist :)

Thanks
