Apparently the “man made religion” tells people to deny themselves, control desires, stay faithful, forgive enemies, and carry their cross.
Worst marketing strategy ever if humans invented it.
You’re assuming the Bible came after the Church and was invented by a sect to control chaos. Historically it’s the opposite. The New Testament books were written in the first century and were already circulating and being read across Christian...
You’re mixing two different things: science describing what something is, and ethics deciding how we should treat it.
Embryology is not a Christian belief. It is a biological field. Standard textbooks state that a new human organism begins at...
Biology is actually clear here. From fertilization, the fetus is a distinct human organism with its own DNA and continuous development. That is not religion. That is basic embryology.
The debate is about moral value, not whether it is human...
You said activists defend animals and women because they can feel pain and suffering. So the standard you chose is capacity to suffer.
But here is the problem. Science already shows a fetus develops nerves, reacts to stimuli, and has a heartbeat...
You are mixing real history with big assumptions. Yes early Christianity spread through relationships and house churches. Historians agree with that. But the claim that equality came later and not from Christian belief does not match the sources...
History is more complicated than that. Yes, Christians fought each other and sometimes persecuted dissenters. That is true. But the same historical record shows that the language of conscience, human dignity, and religious liberty was first...
When I say real growth, I am not talking about global dominance. I am talking about measurable, documented expansion before the Roman Empire ever supported Christianity.
Here are the basic historical facts most historians agree on:
First...
The idea that these changes would have happened anyway without Christianity is a huge assumption. In the Greco Roman world slavery was normal everywhere. Infanticide was legal. Gladiator games were entertainment. Women had very limited legal...
This is not about my opinion versus yours. This is about basic historical timeline that historians agree on.
Christianity did not become the state religion until the late 4th century. By that time it had already spread across the Roman Empire...
I think this is where the misunderstanding still sits. You keep presenting it as if there are only two options. Either Christianity spread purely by peaceful appeal, or it spread purely by political power. History is not that simple. Both can be...
Let’s cut through the noise. We’ve been stuck with a presidential system since 1987 that promises strong leadership but too often delivers gridlock, blame shifting, and dynastic drama. As a conservative who believes in strong institutions, fiscal...
Cynicism is understandable after years of the same political games. You are right that blind loyalty corruption scandals and emotional manipulation of the masses are serious problems. Para sa Bayan slogans have divided us and too many treat the...
Yes, some church authorities criticized or ignored Georg Simon Ohm at first. But that was a reaction from certain academics and institutions, not “religion as a whole.”
Ohm was not fighting Christianity itself. He was a German teacher working in...
Let me get this straight.
You’re out here blockading slaughterhouses, crying over “murdered” chickens, and posting 47-slide Instagram carousels about how dairy is violence and fish feel pain. “No animal deserves to die for your tastebuds!” you...
We are circling because you keep redefining the point. You say you are only talking about “structure,” but then you jump to history, politics, and motives. Those are not just structure anymore. That is a bigger claim.
Believing there is one true...
I think we are going in circles a bit, so let me answer the core point directly and simply.
Believing in one true God does not automatically equal intolerance. It simply means the religion believes truth is real. Every worldview does this. Even...
Asherah Goddess
The main assumption being repeated is this idea that because Christianity believes in one true God, it naturally leads to oppression and therefore human rights must have come from secularism later.
First, believing something is...
My point was the opposite. History isn’t a simple “religion bad, science good” story. Both religious and non-religious people have supported and resisted new ideas at different times.
