God is nothing

The social psychology books I have read mentioned that religion has made a positive contribution to the development of human civilization, which cannot be denied. But in this era, in an environment where science is so developed, when people's cognition of things is very different from before, shouldn't the power of religion be weakened? Interest in this subject was greatly stimulated after I met some Christians. When I think about it myself, the word "absurd" comes up from time to time. When I question something in the Bible, their most common answer is: I don't know, that's what Bible teaches us, we don't question, we just follow. Indeed, what a hassle. Most of them are also kind people, just given a strange, sticky, missionary air to their dealings with others. That friendly relationship that was missionary in the first place seems to be meaningless if you appear to be at odds with their beliefs or firmly atheist.

Can religious fanaticism be explained by collective fanaticism? Do horrific things in the name of religion, do the exercisers feel blessed? Does the feeling of being blessed come only from religious acts or thoughts? It doesn't seem to be.

I attended the Christian conference in the UK only yesterday, and there were more than 1,000 people at the venue. The reason I went was just to get acquainted with my British friends, so as not to make it look like I didn't participate in any activities. The process was not unexpected at all, singing, giving speeches, and interviewing. Speaking of interviews, one of the passages has 2 foreigners and 1 Chinese. The skin tone is evenly distributed, and the order of presentation is: white, black, yellow. Bai said he learned that he had a tumor in his neck the year before last, and was told he had half a year to live, so he started reading the Bible and praying in the hospital. He is now in good health. The black woman said that she was a single mother of 2 children. She also suffered from a relatively serious disease and encountered financial difficulties. At that time, the entire Christian community helped her physically, mentally and financially. It was the Chinese girl’s turn. She said that she was an international student because of her limited ability and felt difficult to study in the UK, so she prayed to Jehovah for help. As a result, not only did he successfully complete his studies, but the roommate in the same dormitory has now become her student.

Maybe the Chinese girl, like me, hoped to integrate into the local society in the UK without being isolated, so she found local Christian members who were especially friendly to Chinese people. I became friends with them naturally, and went to church every Sunday to strengthen my friendship with them. It's just that she probably thinks it's a blessing from God, and I've only been to a few weeks because I'm lazy, so my social circle doesn't expand, and I don't have the desire to join them and spread the word together. Maybe she doesn't really believe it, it's just that this is more conducive to development in other places; maybe she also thinks those words are absurd and uninhibited, and they will be laughed at in front of the Chinese. Or maybe she's experimenting with a paper of the same name as a film called "On the Absurdity of Religion."

PS1: I found this film while searching for comedy.

PS2: Go to AMAZON to find a book on this subject, Daniel, from CDSeems good. If you see this review, if you have any recommendations in this regard, don't be reserved, and post them all.

    "You are so religious, do you believe that you seem to be going to heaven?" "Of course. I will be with the Lord" "Are you sure it will be a good place?" "Of course, I am sure" "Then why don't you kill yourself right away? ?"

    The madness of religion is that it makes people give up thinking, the fact that there is no God to communicate with us, and instead people's own corruption. Doubt about anything is not about being bullshit, but a humble attitude.

Religulous quotes

  • Bill Maher: [Extra] So now let's get to the part where it ties in with what you believe which is, I would say, slightly more controversial

    [laughs]

    Bill Maher: . Let me see if I understand this right. That everything we really know about what is going on in our World and all the Institutions like Government, Religion, Banking, Organised Crime. They really are all part of a I guess you'd call it a Conspiracy that Reptilians...

    David Icke: Well I call them Interdimensionals.

    Bill Maher: Okay, but I read what you wrote.

    David Icke: Yep.

    Bill Maher: Your words. Reptilian- These reptilians from the constellation Draco have interbred with humans and they are living amongst us, there are people like the Pope you talk about George Bush his father the President.

    David Icke: Yep.

    Bill Maher: The Royal Family in England. Tony Blair. They take human form but behind closed doors they can shape-shift back to their Reptilian form. I need to know how you know this.

    David Icke: I've been researching this stuff for twenty years.

    Bill Maher: How can you research that?

    David Icke: I've been to more than forty countries doing it. This is where the idea of the Divine Right to Rule comes from the Divine Right to Rule because of what? Because of your bloodline, because of your DNA. This goes right back to the ancient world.

    Bill Maher: Why do we need reptiles for that? People, human beings are shmucky enough to want to rule over each other.

    David Icke: Listen, you can tell me anything you believe and I can start taking it apart on the basis of a little chat in front of this place, right, but what I'm saying is...

    Bill Maher: People all the time summarise their works in television interviews.

    David Icke: And that's what I'm trying to tell ya.

    Bill Maher: Okay

    David Icke: If you look at the ancient world, all over the ancient world you find the same recurring story of the interbreeding between humans

    [Caption of Genesis 6.4]

    David Icke: and non-humans which invariably are depicted in a reptilian form creating hybrid bloodlines, the bloodline of the gods and you look at the symbolism of the serpent all over the place and you put it together with everything else and people just have to look at the information and decide if they want to believe it.

    Bill Maher: But why if they have control of everything, why would they reveal themselves with all these serpent clues? What does that benefit them?

    David Icke: Well, they don't reveal themselves, do they? They certainly haven't convinced you, have they? The thing is...

    Bill Maher: You've also talked about getting a message from a spiritual messenger.

    [David stutters]

    Bill Maher: No?

    David Icke: There are so many aspects to this that people need to know before the apparently ridiculous makes sense.

    Bill Maher: Didn't you say that you saw the Pope just for a second have his reptilian face?

    David Icke: No, I didn't say that about any Pope, no.

    Bill Maher: Oh, I read that.

    David Icke: Well, you didn't read it in my book.

    [Caption: he only saw the Pope's eyes change]

  • Bill Maher: This is Jesus's Footprint!
