OT 12: Pew Pew Pew

[SAWCE]

I’m just not following you on this one. Being raised with religion inhibits critical thinking?

Where are you having trouble? Religion teaches kids that if you believe something to be true, then it is true.

That’s a bit of a stretch... if there are cold hard facts disproving something, I wouldn’t believe in it. Show me proof that god doesn’t exist.

Absolutely. I remember being raised Catholic. The amount of I dealt with as a young boy is looking back on it.

Show me proof god does.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Feelings being taught to be equivalent to is the biggest problem here, and it comes directly from religion. It ought to be a crime to teach kids that shit.

I guess that’s where I have a hard time agree with you. Mormons are taught to pray about everything we’re taught and try to decide for ourselves if we believe it and to develop our own testimony and faith, not just accept everything taught to us as truth. So my religious experience is very different than what you’ve encountered or heard.

I remember working with a former Mormon and he explained that to me. Pretty tbh.

Most mainstream Christian denominations aren't like that.

I can’t. But that’s not the argument. Until he is disproved, I don’t feel wrong for believing in him. The day he is disproved I’ll come out and say I was an idiot and that I now believe in evolution

While I don’t agree with all of their teachings, and a lot of the people are fucked up, I feel fortunate to have grown up in that religion out of all them.

Minor changes for survival, sure, but you have facts showing that we evolved from monkeys who evolved from pond scum? Let’s see them.

[dubshow]

just admit youre ignorant of historical weapons tech. Its cool. I'll wait.

What did I type in that sentence that was ignorant? How many 100-200 year old muzzle loaders have you fired?

A few actually. And a huge fucking cannon

More than those supporting the bearded man in the sky idea that is pounded into the heads of millions of kids, crushing the hopes of them thinking about anything objectively.

You really think it's more likely that died for your sins and that you will live eternally on a higher plane of existence than that we have one life here, on this rock, where we evolved over the millennia despite not quite working out every detail of the process?

And fired what, 3-6 rounds per minute as long as the powder was dry and the flint made it's spark.

more like 2.

but its not about the power...its about the common man having access to infantry grade weapons.

IDK, I'd be willing to bet it's a bit more than 2. The Baker rifle was around 2 and it was notoriously difficult to load quickly.

Same. Not a cannon doe. So what did I type in that sentence that was ignorant?

Still waiting to be educated.

Let’s see the facts then.

I believe they’re equally like. The both sound ridiculous when you first hear them, but when I sit and think and pray about what I really believe, the feeling that I get is that we were created by a god and not by two stars colliding.

Boy, this thread became a clusterfuck of supposed facts today.

How about them Kardashians?

This is exactly what Sno wanted, bro.

with your shit posting.

Did you see it, or just smell it? Kinda funny to picture a kid standing next to the pit, dropping trou, and just whipping it out to piss in there.

Staff came up to the parents standing around the pit and asked them to remove their kids. They then pointed out wet footprints coming from out of the pit. A mom next to me grabbed her kid and was like "yeah, he's wet" as in her been sitting in something.

They emptied the pit and cleaned it and added new balls.

Kids are fucking terrible. (not yours, but in general).

Any priestly duties?

The concept of faith, and someone having it, doesn’t mean their brain is now incapable of critical rational thought.

I don’t know if you know this, but our brains are capable of a great many different things. They don’t just work one way.

Most Christians = 100% judging for your actions/beliefs

"YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!"

"see you there, cunt. God said only he can judge."

I was raised Christian Orthodox. I won't say I am a full believer, but I am not Atheist either. I would say I am Agnostic.

Evolution is

Evolution is a theory. In science, a theory is not a definite fact because it is still being composed in dynamic fashion. The Theory of Evolution CAN be used as evidence to support evolution itself and the belief that there is no "God" but it cannot disprove God yet because it has not been proven to disprove God, yet.

I think my friend made this point when I visited him in NYC. Really broadened my mind in that regard. Hard to imagine we literally evolved from bacteria in water.
