Introducing Historias!

Post #1

Post by Historias »

Hello. My name is Historias. I come to debate you, b/c I feel that it is time for humanity to die in the fires of its religion and rise from the ashes as Reason, the highest attainable goal of human endeavor. Sadly, I look around me and see that this day is far and nigh unattainable, yet I strive. Without that struggle, the forces of evil, and I speak of evil as real and tangible, will continue to dominate and subjugate humanity with its Dogma. Happy debating. :)

You sound like a sensible and rational person. Praise be to "Bob".

Welcome!

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

Welcome to the forum Historias. Interesting introduction. Look forward to seeing your contributions.
What we do for ourselves dies with us,
What we do for others and the world remains
and is immortal.

Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one persons definition of your life; define yourself.

Howdy. Glad you are still striving. God is looking for those that strive.
