@adam__xyz@relvingonzalez Yeah. It’s just that easy. 🙄
I find it strange that you ignore other, more poplar podcasters, who are married and have children, in order to build a tidy little straw man.
@SMedithe21912@PastorDeberny I’ve read it, don’t worry. I just choose not to believe the wild, baseless claims of ancient books that have an unknown provenance. And you shouldn’t either.
@therealarkangl@PastorDeberny Then please, explain to me what faith and knowledge are. You claim
I have a deficit, but offer no correction or explanations.
@therealarkangl@PastorDeberny If you’re used to attributing divinity to everything you see around you, you’ll believe in the divine. But that belief is rooted in ignorance, not knowledge. Faith doesn’t gain us knowledge—it just allows us to believe in things without good reason, while encouraging ignorance.
@therealarkangl@PastorDeberny How do wolves, chimpanzees, and other pack animals have systems of hierarchy and proto-morality without instruction? Simple: groups that get along thrive and are more likely to pass along their genes. Our early history is very much the same.
@therealarkangl@PastorDeberny They’re only “baked in” because of human and societal evolution. Human civilizations had systems of morality and justice for millennia before the first writings of the OT were codified. Religion simply added a supernatural element to our extant evolutionary moral understanding.
@therealarkangl@PastorDeberny It’s funny how the Stoics and other schools of philosophy had many of these same values in practice long before Christianity came about. There’s nothing novel about Christ’s teachings—they were just marketed more successfully.
@DidierReibmac Ever consider that it’s all just bullshit distraction and nothing really changes no matter who we elect because they don’t actually control anything? And we get mad at each other, playing right into the plan—to ignore those who control us.
@DidierReibmac But logic would dictate that he’s just a bad judge of character, a terrible boss, and a bad leader. He’s an overgrown child who was never told no and surrounds himself only with sycophants. I didn’t vote for either one of these clowns, but he’s certainly wearing the bigger shoes.
