Contra Diagoras54 Part 4

My "first" video about religion, which actually turned out to be a six part mini-series. This is basically just refuting the claims made in this video:

I posted this in the comments of my video, and you completely ignored it: Mark 9:43 - "It is better for you to enter into life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, to the unquenchable fire." That's pretty clear to me, and straight from the mouth of your lord. And if the Bible presupposes that we all sin, then isn't it implying that we have an inherent flaw? What if someone lived without ever committing a sin? What about unbaptized babies? Do they go to heaven without Jesus?

I was the one who explained to you that the "Dark Ages" are generally considered to be the four or five centuries following the fall of Rome and preceding the Middle Ages. Regardless, I wasn't the one who brought up the "Dark Ages". As for Galileo, I don't care whether he was right or wrong; my point when bringing up this case is that banning an idea, for any reason, is detrimental to humanity. It doesn't matter what his argument was: if a religion bans ideas, then it isn't beneficial to society

@diagoras54 Good for you, still makes it wrong. So, you would say that banning the ideas of Hitler would be detrimental to society? Please, think things through, otherwise we would have to stop trying to supress the ideas of Young Earth Creationism, and I am sure you wouldn't their ideas spreading.

@diagoras54 You didn't bother to read any of the sources did you? Pro tip: reading the Bible in English does not count as a thorough exegesis. Either way, find a person who has never lied, stolen, cheated, etc. It appears to me you are suffering from the Dunning-Krueger effect, your are incompetant and unaware of it.
