hey man people will be people, and everyone learns and interprets data in a different way. If someone can't take a hint, maybe they'll get it if they read it. it sounds like youre just trying to find another reason to condemn the bible for really no reason.

[Trenholmes]

Condemn the bible for no reason? Are you serious? There are plenty of reasons to condemn the bible, not least of which are the catholic missionaries in africa advising men not to use condemns in an Aids replete country. Not condemn the bible...right.

having humans being "wired" with morality just means that God has "wired" us all with the conscience to tell us what is right and wrong.

[Trenholmes]

That answer is a short cut to critical thinking.

haha u think ur soo smart u no it all good boy man weed could improve ur skills like me im a common genius.

[bedersdorfer]

> morality does not matter as long as you survive.

Which,of course,is wrong. It is easy to see how moral behaviour improves your chances to reproduce.

[Applextr]

Trenholmes, do you think animals care? If they do, then how does that make "us" human?

[dilerzangana]

Thanks for your Vedios, they are very informing...

Nice response video; good example about the proving wrong of biblical nonsense through the ages, like the church's geocentric vision about the universe. It took them a long damn time to admit that the earth actually evolves around the sun instead of the other way around, and that Copernicus and Galilei were right after all. (Galilei was even prosecuted for it) This is only one example of many things that the church (and the bible) claimed to be true, that have now been refuted. Luckily.

One of the Bahai Faith priciples is the Harmony of science and religion. I encourage you to check out the Bahai Faith Official web site. I would like to see you make a video on what you have discovered about the Bahai Faith!

there are alot worse books. And my favorite scene from Aqua Teen Hunger force, here Meatwad I want you to read a book, Its the Bible (pulls out book with a face on it) oh Im sorry Meatwad that was the Necronomicon.

OptimusGonzoo, if they can't learn morality from social cues and simple conversation about ethics, then they won't be able to learn it from a book either.
