He MIGHT be wrong if he was saying the things you're claiming he is. But he doesn't seem to be.
Either way, I'm just sitting back to watch the show now.
"The show," i.e. metalman having a fundamental misunderstanding of he nature of the universe and making a very old philosophical argument, Minnow railing about demon-aliens, and anyone useful having abandoned the thread days ago.
I don't care if Einstein believed in God, Gaia, or nothing at all. What the hell does he know about this subject? "Hey guise a famous scientist in pop culture was a deist, therefore my belief in christianity is valid!"
I just wish kiddo would come back so he could tell us more about that story where a lady prayed a tattoo away (no joke guise). That sort of trick would have come in handy as my Aunt was being infested with cancer. I guess God works miracles only in situations where it can doubted as the work of a charlatan, and not where it would be obvious to be a bona fide miracle. Funny how that works. It's alright, my Aunt probably just didn't pray enough. She should've been more in God's favor so she didn't have to suffer a painful death.
Here's where I am coming from. I was born to a Catholic family, and my parents worked very hard to send me to Catholic school. Where sexually-frustrated nuns told children they were lazy brats and bullied children who needed the most help and obviously came from troubled homes (I'm not speaking about myself). Then we find out half the priests at that parish, ostensibly ordained by God as if that meant something, fucked little boys. They were doing it at my fathers high school too. So my family goes protestant.
In this sect I discover that apparently Catholics are non-christians doomed to hell. And yet these mission trips are a joke. These people have the nerve to hand a starving child a bible, because it is better to nourish the soul than the body. Protestants have even more slogans, mottos, and catchphrases parroted in their weekly meetings. But what do they have to show for it? There are no satisfactory answers here either. Why is their pain? Why is God hidden? Why does God choose to save some and not others? "It's a mystery."
So we're left talking in circles trying to make this invisible and frankly inconsequential God seem more plausible, willing to agree with anything laid down in these ancient scriptures. We're left putting meaning in trivial experiences. "I had to drive to the hospital and all the lights turned green on my way there. That's why I believe." Yet there are still no more significant answers proposed by religion. Science, however, continues to contribute. So when a scientific study concludes there is no intrinsic psychological or physical harm to a homosexual lifestyle, something that already seemed apparent to a non-prejudiced person, I put stock in those findings. In my eyes religion loses more credibility, whether it decides to ignore its bigoted scrawl or stubbornly excuse it. I've lost my patience for religion's wishful thinking.
