Abortion is healthcare. Withholding it can be murder.

Fuck you for choosing death.

Compared to the $5 billion they spent covering their own asses? It’s a child-raping death cult.

No, you didn’t.

Why does Eve get the blame for the snake’s lie when both she and Adam agreed to eat the fruit?

Why are women expected to be submissive to their husbands? You disgustingly pretend it’s a two-way street, but it’s not. The bible disproportionately favors men.

Why can’t women preach?

Why were daughters considered property?

baseless? no.

Yes. There is no evidence of god, no observable base, yet you make an assumption and treat it as a fact.

To claim that God does not exist is a logical contradiction

No, it is not. All of the data my brain has parsed over my entire lifetime suggests to my current self that there is no god. Humans made it up.

to be created of yourself, and not of a creator is to rely on nothing.

I was birthed by humans. Who created god? Himself? Or was he always there? Either way, we can make the same guesses about the universe itself, no god necessary.

We rely on a LOT of other things. Actually, everything relies on other things, except God.

And god’s dad. And god’s dad’s dad. Etc.

Pseudoscience. At least they try to define “soul”:

It’s said to be the ultimate animating principle by which we think and feel but isn’t dependent on the body.

They are referring to consciousness, which is dependent on the body (or at least the brain).

Yet, the current scientific paradigm doesn’t recognize this spiritual dimension of life.

Right. Because there is no evidence for it.

It’s considered the incorporeal essence of a person and is said to be immortal and transcendent of material existence.

Psycho shit.

Everything knowable about the “soul” can be learned by studying the functioning of the brain. In their view, neuroscience is the only branch of scientific study relevant to understanding the soul.

Right… because souls don’t exist. They are describing consciousness.

While neuroscience has made tremendous progress illuminating the functioning of the brain, why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious.

Does it? Our subjective experience is part of the illusion of consciousness.

This is god of the gaps, but for souls.

Although the current scientific paradigm is based on the belief that the world has an objective observer-independent existence, real experiments suggest just the opposite.

Oh no. Time to misunderstand quantum mechanics.

Until observed, they have no real existence; only when the mind sets the scaffolding in place, can they be thought of as having duration or a position in space.

Wrong. It likely has nothing to do with a mind. The honest answer is that we don’t know yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment#Interpretations_of_the_experiment

The results not only defy our classical intuition but suggest that a part of the mind — the soul — is immortal and exists outside of space and time.

“The hope of another life,” wrote Will Durant, “gives us courage to meet our own death, and to bear with the death of our loved ones; we are twice armed if we fight with faith.”

And we are thrice armed if we fight with science.

Faith is a failure to perform science. This article is just more human wishful thinking. They haven’t proven a soul, they’ve leapt to a conclusion despite a lack of evidence.

That’s proof that you can type the word “no”. There is still zero proof of free will.

Correct. Whereas your approach is “just make up whatever I like and pretend it’s true.” You have invented false evidence, and rejected or distorted legitimate evidence, all so you can keep playing death cultist with a clean conscience.

Fuck you for choosing death.

I can only hope that what goes around, comes around.

You have no idea the suffering you are choosing for innocent people.

Nope. Accurate description of the bible’s contents.

Your god is an abuser. Thank fuck he doesn’t exist.

When did that change?

And you’re still ignoring the slavery problem.

Abram’s wife couldn’t conceive, so he fucked her slave. God condoned this action by sending an angel to tell the victim to return to her abusers and bear their child.

Your actions to delegitimize their relationships is oppression.

Stop lying, coward. You’re a homophobe.

We know you are. It’d be funnier if it wasn’t getting people killed.

strawmanning God to “magic”…

Your only argument for him is special pleading. You insist we cannot comprehend or sense him, yet you pretend to know he’s there somehow.

Sky daddy is a magic wizard who lives in your brain. It’s not a straw man. It’s an accurate description of your mental illness.

thats a generalization fallacy

It’s not. Religion is primarily about lying to get what you want. Evangelical protestantism is one example, but magical thinking is always harmful.

It was a terrible thing to say regardless of what you intended. Look at it from an outside perspective.

So no one with unshakeable faith has ever prayed for cancer to disappear? There are parents with “unshakeable” faith whose children died despite their prayers.

Unshakeable faith is a horrifying weakness. It means you will not update your views no matter how much evidence suggests you are wrong. It is an excuse to perpetuate abuse.

Reality: exists

You: “That’s because of our guy. Submit completely or die.”

Fuck off, death cultist. Stop persecuting us and calling it “love”.

and no man shall be punished for the crimes of his father

Except we are all punished for what our ancestors did?

How do you not see the contradiction here?

And what about the baby who was killed for David’s sin? And his wives raped?

You have none. Which is your favorite?

I can’t accept the claim that christ is real because it hasn’t been shown that god is real, and the idea of a christ is dependent on a god giving us a way to avoid his arbitrary punishments.

If someone could prove god, that’d be swell. Where is he?

if the women aforementioned were innocent, nothing would happen

Wrong. The poison does not magically know who is guilty and who is not.
