I am an atheist one because I find the whole thought of a creator to be stupid and idiotic. I used to go to church one because they had doughnuts all the time and they also had some damn good coffee. For a while I started to believe in the crap that was being spewed, but when I found God isn't for equal rights and never answers prayers I basically felt fuck this shit. The bible says "If a Man is Gay or a Women is Lesbian they will be cast into Hell." I have a gay and lesbian cousin so are they gonna go to hell? Why would I wanna promote that. The Bible also says "If a man takes his own life he will go to hell" my Uncle committed suicide in 2005 is he in hell now? Also would any of you be willing to sell your daughter into sex slavery?
(Exodus 21:7-11)
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment.
If you do believe in a God good for you.
I call this the "Homodeonoia Pentamimesis Theory". (It is Greek, look it up if you want. Every word part individually.)
Human nature wants these five things.
-Desire to recognize and interpret ourselves and others.
-Desire to have will power over external and internal forces.
-Desire to fulfill or neglect satisfaction of ourselves and others. (Also never being satisfied fully with anything tangible.)
-Desire to spread knowledge intentionally and unintentionally within organized or secluded groups of similar likeness or of contrast. (Also to be a 'part' of something or against it.)
-Desire to want answers to doubts and to achieve emotional, mental, and logical stability. (Hopefully without harm to ourselves and possibly others.)
It sounds to me like we have a very specific function; that is to serve man, serve ourselves, or serve something else. (Or any combination of the three.)
