According to your Darwinistic religion...
We all start with some sort of presuppositions, that's why my Worldview is incoherent for you, and yours is incoherent in mine.
In mine, the idea of evolution is the most anti-reality nonsense one can imagine. Thus, you can imagine how conclusions based on that theory sound...
As history has shown, not believing in God or even pagan gods does make one exceedingly bloodthirsty and evil.
It is a FACT of life, proven again and again and again.
Simply reason: humans, by default, will naturally exalt self above others, and it will ALWAYS lead to conflict, death, destruction, etc.
Arguing against it is like arguing that gravity is a figment of imagination.
We are the problem. Our nature is the problem. Thus, we need someone beyond ourselves to serve as a mediator and lawgiver.
Our collective self is as evil as ourselves; that's why communism and any type of Marxism always fail.
Now, if you analyze pagan gods and the God of the Bible, you will quickly discover that the God of the Bible is the best humanity has ever seen and the only proper hope for our survival.
Technically no. It will not be confiscated, but the government can put a lien on the property for unpaid taxes, and if you attempt to sell, then all of it will have to come out of your sale price.
In some cases, local government can pursue it in court, but then again, they can't push you out of your primary residence, and fees will simply keep piling up for you or your descendants to deal with.
But I totally agree it is no better than the Chinese system.
@Provokethoughtz This is the exact argument used by Hitler, btw, when he was justifying the killing of millions. All natural...
It is an irony that the atheistic "thinkers" gain their "morality" from dumb beasts...
Way to go indeed!
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Atheism in the USSR was an official ideology, and any resistance was either met with the Gulag or straight-up death.
Every single school in the country was educating children in the atheistic Worldview.
Cope all you want, the USSR was the shining beacon of atheism and the largest ever atheistic project on this planet.
And the fact is - it caused millions of deaths and countless suffering around the world.
Atheism and Islamism are two mind poisons that destroy humanity wherever they go.
@AtheistTakes Lowest crime? This is a statistic from 20 years ago... now it has widespread bombings and stabbing issues in 5 mil total population of 5 million...
Let this sink in. 5 mil... Many US single cities are much larger than this "country"
@kirawontmiss For calling it communist and believing it runs as a communist society?
Yeah... you do owe an apology not only to China but to the rest of the world for your propaganda
China is an authoritarian capitalism, otherwise known by its European designation as fascism.
@_nwblacksmith@jacksonhinkle All such "intellectuals" lived in their heads, far from reality, yet wanted to tell the world how it should work...
When disconnected from reality ideas are put into practice many horrors should be expected.
The same goes for most of contemporary "intellectuals."
@DewaleBr@jacksonhinkle 1. Jackson is a pathological troll.
2. I've been to China multiple times. Even in the wealthiest cities, one street is modern, and the next is third-world...
3. Why not move to your motherland instead of sitting in Canada?.. West is so horrible after all...
