I’ve been a regular contributor on this atheist group page for a long time but I’ve finally reached my breaking point. Is it just me or does anyone else here notice that every single theist troll who posts or comments on this group page is nothing more than an utter imbecile? I’ve seriously yet to read anything even approaching a cogent argument from the theists who frequent this group page. They’re all literally idiots. Ladies and gentlemen… I think we have the answer to why there is theism in humanity. Basically… and from everything I’ve read in this group page through several years… theists are comprised of the dumbest people in society. They are (generally speaking) of lesser intelligence and less capable of critical thinking. They are by far the most credulous... the most gullible… the most easily led and the most easily manipulated in society. To add to that they are also the most stubborn in society. They aren’t interested in learning anything new. They refuse to learn anything that contradicts their presuppositions and they will cling to their presuppositional beliefs with all their might not because of hard evidence but because they want to believe what they want to believe. They actually NEED to believe what they believe. It’s the “crutch” that gets them through every day of their lives and without it they can’t survive. We atheists are basically banging our heads against a wall trying to reason with them because they cannot be reasoned with. So… as the new year approaches as of January 1st I am personally resolving to stop trying to reason with theists. I’m done here on this group page. I can’t argue with these people anymore. It’s a waste of my time. I’ve done my best but I humbly bow out now and leave it up to the rest of you to “fight the good fight.” I’m 63 years old and I don’t have enough time left in my life to waste it thumbing arguments into my phone trying to reason with hopelessly stupid people. You guys can carry on without me. Cheers, and good luck.

-Gets credit for stuff he didn't do

RELIGION IS EVIL AND WITCHCRAFT IS NOT REAL

It was not witches who burned.
It was women.
Women who were seen as
Too beautiful
Too outspoken
Had too much water in the well (yes, seriously)
Who had a birthmark
Women who were too skilled with herbal medicine
Too loud
Too quite
Too much red in her hair
Women who had a strong nature connection
Women who danced
Women who sung
or anything else, really.
Sisters testified and turned on each other when their babies were held under ice.
Children were tortured to confess their experiences with “witches” by being fake executed in ovens.
Women were held under water and if they float, they were guilty and executed.
If they sunk and drowned they were innocent.
Women were thrown off cliffs.
Women were put in deep holes in the ground.
The start of this madness was years of famine, war between religions and lots of fear. The churches said that witches, demons and the devil did exist and women were nothing but trouble. As we see even today, there is often a scapegoat created. Everything connected to a women became feared, especially her sexuality. It became labeled as dark and dangerous and was the core of the witch trials through out the world.
Why do I write this?
Because I think the usage of words are important, especially when we are doing the work to pull these murky, repressed and forgotten about stories to the surface. Because knowing our history is important when we are building the new world. When we are doing the healing work of our lineages and as women. To give the women who were slaughtered a voice, to give them redress and a chance of peace.
It was not witches who burned.
It was women.

I always thought Friday the 13th was some superstitious bullshit, like Darth Vader and Jesus Christ. But given the way full boxes are dropping out of their bottom and handles are falling off of baskets, there might be something to it...

Old.. Bold.. Cold..

The Omo One bones found in Ethiopia, dating back to 233,000 years, gives an idea that humans existed before 200,000 years. If deities created us, they should be 200,000 years old. Current belief systems all dated within 2000 BCE. Abrahamic religions, more widespread than varna, caste based Tribes, marginally surpass them in terms of sensibility. The oldest Christian sites only date back about 1,900 years as the only Son of God, born just two millennia ago.

Those in son's book prior to him should be viewed as messengers. It's intriguing to think about these men bringing together culturally similar communities, excluding large ethnic groups like Asians, Africans, & Indians. Imagine a book which copied most stories from older texts, added up new contexts for the only Son. The last Arab messenger emerged after 600 years from the son, replicating the son's sacred text while infusing it with local knowledge of the Arab worlds. His mission was to safeguard the Arab heritage & prevent conversions to Christianity, ensuring the preservation of their identity.

This Arab integrated contemporary knowledge & terminology into their new book. Verses on embryonic development were simple, as it mirrored observable stages in dissected corpses or aborted fetuses. Verses on the separation of sea waters came from local seafarers due to their activities in maritime trade. Both sacred texts primarily focus on a limited geographic perspective, featuring horses & camels while omitting references to penguins, kangaroos, tigers, & ancient creatures such as dinosaurs. These texts do not mention future innovations like mechanics, electronics, or electrical concepts. These scriptures sometimes appear comical, such as describing a flat Earth due to the limited understanding of their time.

This limitation isn't exclusive to these but applies to all religions in general. The concept of the only Son & the last messenger of humanity represents a small fraction of the collective knowledge from those eras, addressing very limited places, accounted for less than 5 percent of the population are useful as bed time story books with little information to convey..
