That’s a sad point of view.

Why do you think that God does that?

You don’t have to respect any God, any religion. But if you don’t respect someone because he or she believes different things than you, what does that makes you?

I do not feel like God is male.

If he couldn’t, then he’s not all powerful is he

You’re making a judgment about something no human can comprehend. It’s your right of course, but doesn’t seem rational to me.

If he exists, then he’s doing a fucking awful job

Or he does a very good job giving us freedom.

You’re right “know” is not the good word. I don’t know if the Bible is true or not, I don’t know if God exists or not. I generally don’t use this word in this context, but there it slipped, sorry for that.

But I did not chose to believe because it makes me feel good. To say that is far more insulting than what I said.

En cas de participation inférieure à 50 % dans une circonscription [du Parlement], le scrutin est annulé et reporté à une date ultérieure.

Ça aussi ça fait rêver.

Could he? What could we know about things that could or couldn’t have been? We can’t have even the slightest idea of what the existing realities were before time and space, we just can’t judge God’s creative process. We only know what is, and what God asks us to do in our world, that is to defend and protect the victims of the Evil.

What’s worse: a world where an all-powerful, all-knowing God lets us decide what we do, even if it’s crimes, or a world where every action one makes is decided by this all-powerful, all-knowing God?

I choose freedom.

We believe God wants us free, alive and happy.

Pas très original avec cette version.

Loi de 1905, article premier : « La République assure la liberté de conscience. Elle garantit le libre exercice des cultes ». La République s’est donné comme rôle de garantir que les cultes puissent fonctionner librement. La non-reconnaissance des cultes est là pour que la République ne fasse pas de différences entre les cultes ; elle reconnaît néanmoins l’existence des cultes dans leur ensemble.

Et puis une fonction de hachage pour des documents papiers, ça me paraît compliqué…

Si on ne confond pas laïcité (selon la loi de 1905 je le rappelle, l’État garantit la liberté de culte) avec l’athéisme d’État, il n’y a aucune raison que l’État ne reconnaisse pas le caractère nécessaire de la conservation de cette donnée.

How so?

Galileo was Christian as much as the Pope who condemned him.

Or seriously enough to think about it, not just swallow everything. Christianity is a religion who praised critical thinking for centuries because the Bible is a book which should be studied. It was written by intelligent people who made a point to let contradictions and diverse points of view in order to let the reader decide.

The Bible isn’t the immutable word of God. The Word of God is Jesus-Christ. That’s what taught Christianity for 19 centuries before American evangelicalism invented the heresy of biblical inerrancy.

Biblical literalism is an invention of 20th century evangelicalism. It’s not because you find one or two verses which seem to condemn something that this thing should be condemned forever; and in the case of homosexuality, the verses used by some Christians to condemn homosexuality aren’t clear at all. Thus homophobic Christian bigots condemn homosexuality not because they’re Christians, but because they’re bigots.

Yeah. I’m a very religious Christian and never knocked a door and I believe homosexuality isn’t a sin. And I know atheists or at least agnostics who actually believe that there’s an homosexual propaganda trying to “homosexualize” people.

C’est pas ça qui les empêche d’agir dans les affaires impliquant des personnes avec un rang social élevé

C’est pas non plus à cause du rôle donné aux victimes dans les enquêtes qu’on en arrive à ça. C’est à cause, entre autres, de la politisation du parquet, qui est un scandale en soi.
