Wtf is his problem

Members of the senate being religious has nothing with the separation of church and state.

I hope that's an April 1st joke.

he wants to throw out adults who believe in a magical being, whats wrong with that?

People who can't tell the difference between reality and fiction shouldn't be allowed to be politicians

you cannot prove that god doesn't exist in the same way that religionfags can't prove that he does exist

you also believe wholesale in something that cannot be proven, so you are also a brainlet

you'd cut out 99.99% of the population, though, as most of them, atheists or religious people, believe in fictional things. instead of the irrationally difficult and oddly specific attack on religion, it'd be easier to advocate for a meritocracy

while there is no law saying public officials cant be religious, there should atleast be a non disclosure law where public officials aren't allowed or required to disclose that information. christfucks lock out anyone that doesnt fall over themselves and onto their knees for their sky daddy. real over this shit.

You're actually a brainlet if you don't believe in a religion. Even if god doesn't exist, the placebo effect would result in you being happier, less stressed, etc. In financial terms, religion is all reward for no risk (unless you're a retarded radical but that doesn't count)

he says US has suspiciously small amount of atheists/agnostics in senate for a coutry claiming to have separation of church and state

WTF is YOUR problem idiot?
Cant read the name of the board youre in?
Its "biz", not "my random soapbox blog"

Separation of church and state has nothing to do with a representative's personal spiritual beliefs.

You really believe there's no intelligent design behind the universe, that there's no God? I'm not saying it's necessarily any specific version touted by any organized religion,but if you actually believe there is no God, your stupidity is terminal.

That's one of the most ridiculous examples that I could give from your "little" book. Don't be frightened, there are plenty of incredibly fucked up examples to choose from. Just ask one of your friends with a brain to come over and he can pick them out for you since you wouldn't be able to

>The absolute state of atheists. They can't even understand how religion benefits society irrespective of whether or not its objectively true
you realize that ppl have been programmed to believe in a high(er) power that it's now unnatural to not believe that's why so many atheists are agnostics. Nothing wrong with that stop worshipping a kike on a stick faggot jewish loving faggot

You would probably think that an idea that Earth is flat and being held by a big whale from falling into void makes sense in your head if you lived a few hundred generations earlier. Not saying that you’re a brainlet, but there is nothing inherently intelligent about things like frost on your window even if they look complex at the first glance.

then who created god?

then the universe could've just always been here too

Where the fuck did you get that info from ?
Any sane atheists would cherish their lives to experience something rather than experiencing nothing. It would be easier to commit suicide believing there is a heaven after you kys. Oh wait, you cannot do that as you would go to hell so you have to live your whole live as a slave to that guy upstairs. Any christian that doesn't respect the bible 100% and cherry picks whatever is in its benefit is a plain hypocrite.

He's an overly self-centered douchebag. Source: I know him from poker.

religious benefit society by making them stupid as fuk. They are just bunch of pussies who cant comprehend the fact that the thing they were worshiping are just some stories written by some half naked dingdong hanging on shrooms. Someone tell Jesus his mother is not actually a virgin. Probably fuked a neighbour.

>The Bible is just some dumb book written a hundred years ago by some dumb guy to control the masses!

The Bible and Christianity has survived for thousands of years, through the downfall of multiple empires

But yeah it's just a dumb fairy tale about a bearded sky fairy lol

People didn't know how anything functioned back then. Big difference to today. If religion was introduced in the past couple hundred years you'd be locked up for being mentally retarded

>people fetishized a semitic fanfic about how being weak and ducked will pay off in a magical paradise after your death for centuries
So, this is the proof of Bible being so good, not people just being hopelessly retarded? Not an argument.

great argument

perhaps another god created god, and a different god created that god, and that god was made by another god, and so on, ad infinitum. Assuming that the universe is infinite, and the concept of infinity holds water in reality, then this hypothesis is plausible.

what a coincidence, that the hidden secret behind everything is that there's a far off future that's pretty much perfect if you just toe the line for now and be a good goy

But Europeans are cucks that bend over backwards to appease Muslim refugees, putting Islam above their native religion.

That still isn't what separation of church and state is.

Not all Europeans you brainlet

fucking batshit

btw arrogant atheists piss me off, and i have huge respect for religion and think christianity's overall impact is positive on humanity even IF jesus was a 'fraud'.
but still, the fact that an atheist has to pose as a believer to be electable is laughable.

even trump had to say that he regained his faith (originally a presbyterian-turned-atheist) in order to be electable es president. and come on, that's plain hypocrisy and that's always damaging.

i don't care, it's funny.

wow americans are truly retarded, i thought it was just a meme

yeah that's a thinker. the universe has to end somewhere, right? but then what the fuck is the "border" of universe made out of? and how can there be literally nothing behind it? isn't "nothing" also something, which would mean the universe doesn't end there? how the fuck can this work

Catholic philosophy was absolutely central to the development of Western science, and in particular to that of the scientific method. To sum it up, the Catholic world view was that all the universe was created by a benevolent creator. This creator also gave us the capacity for reason. Being benevolent, he would not have given us that capacity while making his universe irrational. Therefore the universe works according to rational laws, like a mechanical clock made by a great clockmaker, and we are meant to use reason in order to understand those laws. Far from having anything to fear from reason, the Church should see it as the most reliable way of arriving at the truth, including the truth of Christianity.
This philosophy emerged progressively, but by 1100 it was completely embraced by the Church, and laid the foundation of scholasticism. From then on all thinkers at the cathedral schools and universities had to be highly formed logicians, and natural philosophy (that is to say science) became the second most prestigious field after theology. All the precepts of the scientific method were born out of this. The belief in a logical universe governed by rational laws. The belief that all the universe can be translated into the language of mathematics. And perhaps most importantly the concept of the scientific theory.

This came about most prominently in 1277, when the Church intervened directly into academia by banning the teaching of Aristotelian physics as indisputable fact at the University of Paris. Not only did this free up scientific thinking which had previously been shackled to academic dogma, and make it possible for people like Buridan and Oresme to reinvent physics and maths (laying the foundation of modern science), but this and the general attitude of the Church towards science also forced scientists to be a lot more careful about making claims. Instead of claiming guesswork as absolute truth the way the Greeks did, they had to be much more humble and disciplined, and any claim had to be considered mere theory, that is to say one of several possibilities, which can be held as true in practice if it is supported by evidence, but which can never become dogma and can always be put back into question again based on new evidence. This is the key to the scientific method and to the perpetual cycle of questioning things again which made the scientific revolution possible.

Christianity is the reason our world is as advanced today as it is. Tuck away your fedoras.

The universe isn't infinite, it is ever expanding.
What's after the borders ?
Dark matter

I can tell you have nothing to back up the claim that Christianity was a net negative to society. It's impossible to really measure how much it has influenced people or how many lives it's saved.

He's right though

It stifled scientific and technological progress until its eventual decline due to secularism taking over led to Industrial revolution and as a result the world we know today. Now kys you low IQ brainlet drinking christkike Kool Aid.

What if I said that those people should have perished since they were most likely crippled and unfit to live fulfilling life or niggers who were taught that they can fuck wherever they feel like it because they can always rely on gibs from Christian humanitarian organizations?

You're fucking retarded and have no clue what youre talking about.

christianity is the opposite of communism. communism looks good on paper, doesn't work in practice. christianity looks horrible on paper, but western civilization emerged from it.

why? no one knows.

islam doesn't stifle science like christianity. yet the persian empire was easily comparable to to greece and rome innovation-wise.
then nations left behind rome picked christianity, nations left behind persia picked islam.
compare them some 1500 years later.

Pretty sure everyone in gov is Jew.

the industrial revolution still emerged from cultures/people evolving under christianity for a millenia. most parts of the world were not affected by christianity yet never started an industrial revolution.

>why? no one knows.
did it ever occur to you that you might be wrong

So what if we have people in the House/Senate who believe in an invisible sky daddy?
A lot of of you faggots on here actually believe that fapping to traps isn't gay and that you'll be able to retire off of fake internet money....yet you don't see anyone trying to keep you from being an elected official

They were also evolving before christianity when they followed their pagan cults. Why doesn’t it also matter to an overall course of history that happened long after? At this point christianity is just a dying religion that doesn’t have power over anything in the modern religion and nobody really needs it anymore as evidenced by lack of belief in traditional christian grounds in Europe. I think it’s safe to speculate that Industrial revolution would happen anyway at some point, probably earlier, if christianity never took hold or was dumped into irrelevancy earlier.

>yeah, I play professional poker. I'm a godless boy, babe.

did it ever occur to you that YOU might be wrong, mouth-breathing christcuck?

>nobody really needs it anymore as evidenced by lack of belief in traditional christian grounds in Europe.
You mean the same Europe that is in the process of being conquered by foreign hordes by their pen invitation? The same Europe that has lost its will to live? That Europe won't be around for much longer. And the loss in faith is playing a very big part in this.

>They were also evolving before christianity when they followed their pagan cults

yes they were. i just meant that in ancient times europe wasn't normally 'ahead' of the middle east or asia. in fact most ancient inventions still in use today from china and persia (the reason why roman/greek culture is better known in pop culture is only cuz europeans were more interested in their history)

then a few centuries of christianity, and there was a distinction, at least for some time, in some aspect.

it may be accidental or may not be. but i personally feel like saying with certainty that christianity had a negative overall impact reeks of ignorance.
