Atheism is a religion. "SELF" CALLS THE SHOTS INSTEAD OF YOU ALLOWING "GOD" TO LEAD YOU.

"..homosexuality is a problem.."? The ONLY 'problem' I've experienced in my 79 years has been the subjugation, discrimination and hatred exhibited by the believers in imaginary creatures who live in the clouds, who feel their 'belief' makes them superior!

Being a theist and being gay have nothing in common. One is a belief system the other isn't a choice. One of the two is indoctrinated the other is just who they are. I wasn't brought up religious nor gay but I turned out to be gay and I wasn't indoctrinated into that world. Religion has done way more damage to society than being gay ever will.

I've come to the conclusion that the reason why so many theists define homnsexuality by an act, instead of the natural attraction, is because they don't see that natural attraction as being `a sin` but rather a temptation to be resisted. Which is why they claim it's a choice. The only way that makes sense is if they're at least bisexual, which I suspect is a lot more common in society than we know, simply because of that belief. Sorry, that was a bit of a tangent off your point, but it got me thinking about it.

The gaps theists can wedge their gods into are shrinking and outright disappearing on a daily basis.

NEP, the “expert theologian” didn’t know several faiths within Christianity have more than 66 books in their biblical canon, and he gets Bible verses wrong, claiming that Gen 1:28 tells that all animals were vegetarian when it was actually verses 29 and 30. Pretty damn sad when atheists know his Bible better than he does while he continues to claim he’s the “Christian expert” in the threads.

This has got to be the craziest analogy I have ever heard. Like absolutely no connective tissue between the 2 parts of it.

Programs like these are so important as we slowly progress towards a secular global society and maybe hopefully in decades & not centuries to come there will be no more religion..

Religion doesn't create bigotry, meaning it doesn't cause it. It expresses the society's existing bigotry and is used to justify it to say that God is against it and that's why it's wrong. There's some scholarship that says what the Bible says is homosexuality is not homosexuality per se, because that's a modern conception. What it says is wrong is for man to be in a submissive role during sex, i.e. when he's in the bottom position, even for hetero sex. But modern religious belief will interpret it in the way that's understood now.

"How many times do I have to tell you: All animals (including dinosaurs) were vegetarian (Gen 1:28)." ~ Nepy 👆😂🤦‍♂🤣🍿 Oh and by the way, this is what Genesis 1:28 actually says: "God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.'" Don't you ever get bored with lying, Nepy? 😆

Definitions of terms NEPy gets confused: Atheism: Merriam-Webster: "a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods" Oxford Languages: "disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods" Cambridge Dictionary: "the belief that God does not exist" Religion: Merriam-Webster: "the belief in a god or in a group of gods" Oxford Languages: "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods" Cambridge Dictionary: "the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or any such system of belief and worship" God: Merriam-Webster: "the supreme or ultimate reality" Oxford Languages: "the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being" Cambridge Dictionary: "the spirit or being who is worshipped as the creator and ruler of the universe, especially in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism" Cult: Merriam-Webster: "a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious" Oxford Languages: "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object" Cambridge Dictionary: "a religious group, often living together, whose beliefs are considered extreme or strange by many people" Big Bang: Merriam-Webster: "the cosmic explosion that marked the beginning of the universe according to the big bang theory" Oxford Languages: "a theory in astronomy: the universe originated billions of years ago in an explosion from a single point of nearly infinite energy density" Cambridge Dictionary: "the idea that the universe began with a large explosion" Abiogenesis: Merriam-Webster: "the supposed spontaneous origination of living organisms directly from lifeless matter" Oxford Languages: "the original evolution of life or living organisms from inorganic or inanimate substances" Cambridge Dictionary: "the theory that living things developed from non-living matter" Evolution: Merriam-Webster: "descent with modification from preexisting species" Oxford Languages: "the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth" Cambridge Dictionary: "the way in which living things change and develop over millions of years" These dictionaries are much more reliable than wherever NEPy pulled his definitions out of.

Quick question. When asking theists if they care if their beliefs are true or not, and they respond with something along the lines of “Jesus is the truth, the way, the life” or a similar verse… what’s the best way to respond? I typically will say something like I don’t care what it says in your holy book, or how do we determine that the statement “Jesus is the truth” true?
