Religion

A long held argument of mine. My niece left school at 18 with a shit load of A levels. I asked her what compound interest was, she had no idea. I asked here the difference between capital gains tax and income tax, she was struggling, I asked her what endowment meant, No idea. Not her fault of course.
Haha! I guarantee she'll be calling you uncle nobhead!! Most 18 year old don't give a fuck about compound interest and capital gains tax, she probably just wants to know who your favourite Melbourne Housewife is... :-)

Agree that more life skills need to be introduced to schools though, no arguments there.
 
No, I still think Religion is a load of bull shit, If there is a god up there why is he letting a load of kiddie fiddlers into his band of followers.
cant blame god mate for murderers, kiddie fiddlers etc. Its humans. We have been given that freewill. But knowing all that, any sin u commit u gotta pay for the sin. And in atheist view its u pay for it now (jail sentence) which is BS. U seen the conditions of some jails. Fed 3 times a day, its almost considered a summer camp in some camps.

Most faiths believe ur gnna feel the wrath of gods punishment in the afterlife.

But that's not why people don't have pensions or take out dodgy loans. They've tried personal finance classes in America, and it makes no difference. The thing that makes more of a difference is just being good at maths. But essentially, people don't get pensions until they're in their 30s for the same reason that people don't start eating healthily until they've had a heart attack.
 
Not the religion's fault in this instance, but just another example of someone hiding their criminality behind religion.
Totally agree. Spot on. But that is the frailties of humans. We are selfish when it comes to our own desires. And use any reason/excuse, in this case religion. But lets separate that from what god has prescribed to us. Gods laws are a guide to mankind. "Thou shallt not steal" - But whether one accepts it or not is a different story, and how one interprets it is another argument.

Didn’t god supposedly create these frail selfish humans, and all their faults. Then had the audacity to prescribe they should not to be frail and selfish.

Sick bastard he/she/it is.

Did God make you post that in txt speak? If so, someone needs to have a word.

Created man with frailties as said. With freewill. Anything we bad we do, we have to pay for not just in this life but afterlife.

So u get the good and the bad.

Again im not pushing anything onto anyone here. Just echoing my understanding.

The angels asked the same question when God created man. Some things are perhaps not meant to be understood.

Qur'an 2:30 "And, when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successor” They said, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?” Allah said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.

When Adam spoke unto god he sayeth “god I thank you for this life, for the bountiful fruit and for the tranquility of this paradise but, and I don’t want to appear ungrateful…but Heavenly Father I an lonely”

God responded “my son I have watched you grow more lonely with each day and I have been working on a companion for you. I call this companion ‘woman’ she will know your every desire, fulfil your every need and wish - she will always support and cherish thee.” Adam grew excited, god continued “however for this gift you must make a sacrifice - ‘woman’ will cost you your left eye, your right ear and your right arm”. Adam pondered the offer before enquiring of god “what can I get for a rib?”

Did Adam have a cock before God invented woman...if so why.

So god's just fucking with everyone, including even the angels? Just a big game for him/it/her isn't it.

The flood used to exterminate the project and start with a clean sheet hints towards a psychopath not a benign benefactor.

Exactly, what a dick. Creates an entire species, gives them free will, gets pissy when they don't do what he'd really like them to do without giving an explicit instructions, kills them all except the Noahs. And nevermind the humans, also decides to destroy the entirety of all other species, even though they aren't capable of worshiping god, bar 2 instances of each, a male and a female, leading to inbreeding across every animal and almost certainly significant birth defects.

But he's a forgiving god, a kind god and one you'd happily take home to meet your mother ;)
