Religious Financial Scams (Part 1/2)

[1987musicguy]

@LoveQuantumPhysics Maybe I will in the future, for god is too vague of a word to describe consciousness anyways and since so many use that weird so much to mean something completely different then me then maybe "there is something" that could be more suitable for a conversation like this.

How much money did Harold Camping make off this doomsday Prophecy on May 21st? This Guy is a sick liar and it's not the First time he has made the same predictions. 

[gspendlove]

@PJG0117 I don't know how much Camping may have made, but I can tell you that I was literally shaking with anger when it was reported that one of his followers spent more than $100,000 on subway signs warning of the world's end. Considering that Japan was still (and IS still) reeling and suffering from the March earthquake there, it was kind of like holding an eating competition in front of a group of starving people. That asshat was lucky he wasn't near me when I heard about that.

[1987musicguy]

@LoveQuantumPhysics Well I call "that something god" because what ever caused it is a creator. god is so much more than just a word its also an idea. You and me are both god bc we are creators of our mental reality/understanding and beliefs of our shifting reality. I understand what your saying though. The law of thermodynamics states that energy can't be created or destroyed so all the energy in the universe has always been. We also know matter can't create itself. Its all relative.

Just look at the Vatican. I mean......that's the result of religious scam right there. What else do you need to make up your mind?

[billbo1154]

if your religios you can do eneything you want and then repent the sin is forgiven with no punishment .i guess that is the way to get off the hook.So christians are the ones with the get out of punishment plan

[Zefvan]

But my question to all of you out there is…

Have you found Eris yet?

[Jesusthemessiahd4ms]

this show is a scam. One lie, after another. You can have all the knowledge in the world, it will do nothing for you when your life is done with on this earth. The real deal is, that God, not theist, is right and true in every sense. The truth you have, is fabricated, and made by a group of people who choose to live life however they want, having no rules, therefore everything goes. Having no worries about doing something wrong, cause heck, you can just make the rules up as you go.

[janto58]

@Jesusthemessiahd4ms i am firm believer in that good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things but to make good people do bad things all you need to say is that their religion says it is all right to do evil in the name of their god. many have been killed ot tortured in the name of religion but none because of the lack of belief.

[Microtardz]

@Jesusthemessiahd4ms Thats hilarious, even satanists have rules. 1. rule being no women no children should ever be harmed.

The other one is do what you will to the whole of the law.

Meaning do what you want but accept your punishment from the law.

Atheists don't have "rules" because we're not a religion/belief, it's a position.

Any rules come from side beliefs, such as anti-theist.

Or simply from their own moral values.

[wirikuta14]

@Microtardz you got one wrong, its "do what you will shall be the whole of the law" by Alistair Crowley, which means the law comes down to this:do whatever you want to do, it doesn´t implies any kind of punishment.

[magnusalexa]

all great scientists of great achievements dont make unprovable theories, atheism is jus unprovable theories

[47saeed]

@magnusalexa Believing in god is an unsupported theory. Atheism is a supported. The only abstract concepts that can be proved are Mathematical.

[1987musicguy]

there is no sin. religion is the goverments control on us but i do think there is a God that caused the big bang and never intervened again and just observes.

[TheRunescapeCow]

Do you have any proof for this belief? What is this God like and why did he maek the big bang? What made God?

[1987musicguy]

@TheRunescapeCow My proof is inner experience. There's parts of the brain that when you focus and activate these parts your become more conscious of your reality. I perceive things that make me understand that there is more. THis god in my opinion is loving. Everything else about god from my trues is lies. I don't know why she created the big bang unless she was the big bang or some scientists say now that the big bang never happened. What made god was God.

[WaltonSauce]

@1987musicguy

Why should anyone else accept your inner experience as proof.

Also, which physicists say the big bang never happened?

[ToroTheIllusionist]

@1987musicguy So, you're a religious person who believes that religion is mind control?

[1987musicguy]

@ToroTheIllusionist Religion comes from a certain perspective of truth but none of the followers seem to share the same level of high consciousness that the prophets had when speaking of their truths. Religion has become more about control and fear in my opinion but if it helps ppl then by all means do what you wish to do.

[jimbrown257]

He says that most religious leaders are conmen. Is he implying that some of them are not?! Which ones aren't??

[RadarKat73080]

Dire Straights Rulz!

[EveryHumanBeing]

In my opinion a Christian is anyone who is BRAINWASHED

[mastersduhgree]

Why is that?

[spiderpig85]

@EveryHumanBeing Agreed, but I think the focus on Christianity is baseless. Islam is just as bad, even worse, and needs to be addressed. Of course, I don't want to get blown up...

[Jostedalsosten]

@EveryHumanBeing To be fair, they could also be Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Scientologist etc.

[1987musicguy]

@EveryHumanBeing Well not really for true christianity died in 300 A.D. Present day christianity is truths from a certain point of view and since they don't understand the point of view the religion was lost bc its not about spirituality its about control. Its a political religion like Islam in many ways.

[ctvwr]

WTF?  LOLERCOASTER.

[Arkalius80]

I don't think the bible has a passage that says "you are a christian if... and not a christian if..." The term christian isn't even in the bible...

Generally speaking I'd say a christian is anyone who believes in the existence of the god of abraham, and believes in the basic story and meaning of the life of Jesus.

Essentially it is defined by a person's beliefs, not by their actions. A faith healear scam artist can be a christian if he believes despite his unethical activities.

[mastersduhgree]

Yes....The bible says"believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved."A person can be a christian and do all sorts of evil but; I think that person would need to discontinue thier evil in order for 'growth' to take place.God is very very mercifulland i know he works inmy life and answers prayer even tho i do things that a secular person would not believe a christian would do on the norm if they were a christian...BUT ; if a person keeps thier sins aknowledged to GOD God hears that person

[OneStonedBastard]

Sure, blame us godless bastards for your shit.
