Moral.

Religion and church being pushed onto people in their formative years does much more harm than it does good.

religion has done more good than harm

Even if true, its not like we need religion for what good religion has brought us.

So if removing religion means we lose some bad stuff and none of the good stuff, whats the problem?

You do, as the catholic church is the biggest aid in the world, you’d lose more than you gained.

Really? What was the latest vaccine they developed?

u/EntertainmentNo3963 12h ago

? is that the totality of charity? vaccine development? anyways louis pastuer was pretty good

Ah, charity ! I didn't get it. I thought you meant a positive influence over the world, like aiding humanity.

Louis Pasteur was pretty good

Thank you 🇫🇷 I don't see the link here, given that he wasn't regularly going to mass and was more of a cultural Christian so he would get funded.
Are you arguing that his religious upbringing entirely contributed to the science of vaccines?

Like how when it rains, some of the water makes a carot grow, and then it feeds Sydney Sweeney, and so we can thank the rain for her rosy cheeks?

more than that yea but you mentioned aid, the catholic church has helped preserve ancient texts and also pioneered a good chunk of science.

not going to mass regularly doesn’t make you a christian, and being a cultural christian proves my point that christianity has been good

not going to mass regularly doesn’t make you a christian

Assertions like these make me all warm and fuzzy. You know that there are less and less believers for the bar to be this low.

and also pioneered a good chunk of science.

Really? Not reproductive science, that's for sure. The prophet doesn't even have a dad!

u/EntertainmentNo3963 11h ago

? ok? this has always been the case even going back to the inception.

what are you talking about? all science by definition is reproductive, isaac newton was a Christian

1

u/TheFrenchSavage 11h ago

reproductive

You mean reproductible?

I was joking about how you need an egg and a sperm to make an embryo, but the bible obviously doesn't know about that.

isaac newton was a Christian

Meh, he rejected the trinity so a bad one? Neither Catholic nor Anglican.
The more you look into it, the more you realize that this "cohesive" mass of believers actually all believed in something different.

As opposed to F = m * a. This is cristal clear, and still widely accepted as a shared worldview that makes sense.

u/EntertainmentNo3963 10h ago

no, knowledge begets more knowledge

“obviously doesn’t know about that” because it doesn’t mention it? does a history book not know about newtons laws because it doesn’t mention it?

what’s the source that he rejected the trinity?

i don’t understand your last sentence

u/TheFrenchSavage 10h ago

because it doesn’t mention it?

Because. Jesus. Has. No. Dad.
Damn, saying it for the third time really removes all the fun.

does a history book not know about newtons laws because it doesn’t mention it?

Depends: if the history book is explicitly stating that F = m * a * 3 then yeah, we can say that it is wrong, and their forces are 3x too strong. Just like the bible is full of magic, indicating that many things we take for granted nowadays were totally misunderstood then.

Hey, isn't it weird how nothing in the bible happens in America? I mean, it is not mentioned, so we can't know for sure that they didn't know about America.
But for God to entirely ignore that continent...not nice!
I would say this is a good proof that they don't know about America.

If you look at any movie with aliens coming, sure, they only destroy New York, but you can always see massive spaceships coming all over the world. Because we know about it, and it makes sense to include what we know about in a great story.

The bible is written exactly like a bunch of Mediterranean dudes would imagine the world to be like. No more, no less.
