All the Chrildren of the World
Post #1Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.
I dutifully sang this during my weekly brainwashing sessions at Sunday school. (But not always with the image of an execution device in the background.)
But in later years, I discovered that Jesus' propagandists did not actually have him say that he loved all the children of the world.
Did the Gospel propagandists just forget to mention that Jesus loves all the children of the world …?
Were Jesus and his propagandists more interested in their quest for political power than they were about foreign kiddies …?
Have later Christians had to embellish and inflate the propaganda to make the Jesus character into what they WANT him to have been …?
"God" … just whatever humans imagine it to be.
"Scripture" … just whatever humans write it to be.

- If God is here, why are you defending him instead of allowing him to defend himself? Does he need your help?

As I've already explained, it isn't God who is on trial, but rather the claims made about him. Before God could be put on trial, we'd need verifiable evidence that he exists and has actually done something. No case can be presented that he is guilty of either charge.Tart wrote: And if you want to put God on trail, He needs no defense.. you do!

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

I agree. I couldn't possibly receive that which doesn't exist. Thanks for your agreement.Tart wrote:

I am more than happy to admit my constant emission of faithlessness …!
I have absolutely NO faith in the proposition made by Christians that their Divine Leader loves all the children of the world.
