Like the greeks, the founders of critical thinking and science in europe? Do you know what the rennaisance is? it's a time period after the christian dark ages, when people rediscovered what the greeks had already discovered millenia ago. You have the wrong idea on who spreads the propaganda. Compare this one video, or the guy's class with going to the church, And you'll see the propaganda. The part about your brain is an unbased assumtion. Perhaps you should inform yourself on the matter?
The brain is not the mind the brain is the operating system for the spirit to control the body when you produce a mental picture it can be placed anywhere outside the brain da think about it.
well history says that cultures that worshiped some kind of god gave them purpose to live and did far better than cultures that didn't hello you fucking psychiatrist stop this propaganda
really, people STFU listen to the vid, really listen to it, and learn. USeing the bible and junk cant prove god, that is like saying, lord of the rings is real, see this book with the title (lord of the rings) says so. Time and space are names we give, god is a name we gave...and (dinosaurses 13itches!) ya dinos...ok back to this.... the bible been rewirtten like 10 times, And hell is like saying (ya god loves you, but if you dont than you BURN FOREVER.....) listen to urself peeps, and learn =D
Fear is the mother of all religions.....free yourself and realize that when you understand why you DO NOT accept the "other gods" of the worlds and then you'll understand why yours is just as ludicrus. Your belief in your gods weighs heavily on the culture you were reared in.
Why don't you all go "pray?" for the knowledge to see that religion is something that the ignorant find to be true, the very well educated to be false and rulers to be VERY USEFUL?
Seriously, stop thwarting your very own will to survive and accept that it is our responsibility to make this reality a better world for us all than accept the subjigating mentality to accept whatever happens as "gods will."
We have the ability to stop this ignorance and create the world we ALL deserve.
"have changed that concept into distorted concept of many God.".. but monotheistic gods are relatively new. Before the beginnings of monotheistic religions were the greeks, norse, sumerian.. all polytheistic.. all before any of the solo gods. You have your statement backwards. You have used scripture as evidence.. what happens when all of these supposedly inerrant books directly contradict each other.
I have read scriptures. The scriptures confirm each other when interpreted in the light of their LATEST edition, i.e. Qur'an. Visit my channel page to understand the history of recording of Holy Qur'an.Qur'an calls it to be the last scripture of God and has been diligently preserved.All scriptures are to be understood in its' light. Muslims are supposed to believe in all prophets and revelations sent to them but the last one is fully preserved to be a guard on other scriptures
