It is difficult to argue there is no God due to evidence that the Son of God existed.

No, there isn't.

There is evidence to suggest someone named Jesus who may have claimed to be the Son of God existed 2,000 years ago according to an ancient manuscript primarily written by people who were taking dictation from illiterate people which in turn was translated and retranslated by people who have their own agenda.

As for whether the Virgin Birth, Resurrection or miracles happened, there is zero scientific evidence of those. There are lots of gods and prophets throughout history who have similar stories, some people say Christianity usurped these stories for their own.

I do think religious dogma is there to control people, to keep them tame for the powerful to manipulate them for their own selfish needs. How better to control people than to keep them hoping for an afterlife if their lives are miserable whilst making them all screwed up on the head by making them feel guilty about their sexuality?

actually, since si rascal ang nagke-claim na may God then the burden of proof lies with him.

Magsalita ka nga ng maayos - sa wikang ingles o tagalog, huwag iyung halu halo. Tsaka iayos mo salita mo. Huwag natin idinadagdag mga maselang parte ng katawan natin. Tutal kinakausap ko kayo ng maayos.

Now I'm not against people who are into religion but since you keep on insisting your belief on others who chose not to believe I'll oblige you. I'm an agnostic and unlike most people, I don't believe in any form of religion and I don't believe that faith is a personal choice as most religious people put it because in the first place our parents and/or society force it upon us. Were you given a choice on what to believe? No. So how can you say that your God is the one true God when you were indoctrinated into believing and following a religion as a child in the first place?

You are right! Sometimes, it start with the parents. And even if the so called "religion" comes from the parents, paglaki mo, you have a personal choice to follow the faith or not. Just like Klaus, who opted not to follow his parents. But if you chose to follow, you must develop a relationship with your creator.

Thank you for confirming this. And even if you read the Koran, Jesus was also there proving he really existed. But more than that, both the Bible and Koran stated that Jesus was a perfect individual, sinless.

I also agree with you that the rules can be controlling to the people. But still, we all believe in free will so it's up to the people if they would follow or not. Same with the government, we have a set of rules in which we abide to. And i also believe that the rules are there to establish order. So if there is someone who finds his life miserable and screwed up because of their faith, then either he needs to dig deeper to find out the reasons why such rules exist or like i said earlier, he can opt not follow.

You may get your religion because of your parents but salvation is always personal...

"religious dogma"... any religion should have at least few or more laws/dogma for their members... just like any government tulad nga ng sinabi ni sir nelson...

kung hindi mo gusto ang law/dogma ng isang religion then umalis ka sa religion na yan... kung hindi mo gusto ang batas ng isang government better umalis ka na rin... the law is there to protect us and to maintain peace and order... for me it s always - God's law first before any other law...

Yun na nga eh pinagpipilitan nila na iginigiit sa kanila ang Relihiyon ngunit malaya naman sila. Tapos kung magsalita pa eh bastos. Isipin na lang natin na hindi nila kayang lumaban ng patas. Kung baga sa suntukan pati paa kasali. Iyun ba ang dehado o dumedehado?

Do you mean you came into your religion at your own volition? Your parents had nothing to do with it?

Ipagpaumanhin po ninyo at hindi ko kayo masasagot sa wikang Ingles kasi nasimulan ko ang wikang Tagalog sa una kong pananalita.

Sa katanungan mo, hindi "indoctrination" ang nangyari. Pagpapaliwanag sa tamang daan ang nangyari.

Ako naman magtatanong, marunong ka bang umintindi ng salitang Tagalog? Sa laban ng suntukan naiintindihan mo ba na ang sandatang ginagamit ay mga kamao o "fists" sa wikang ingles? Ang salitang "sandata" naintindihan mo ba?

indoctrination: to teach (someone) to fully accept the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of a particular group and to not consider other ideas, opinions, and beliefs

so hindi pala indoctrination yun. ok.

Pinagsama ang ingles at tagalog na hindi gumagamit ng "", Taglish kong tawagin. Uso daw sa mga sosyal iyun eh.

O ayan na naman "mai-connect". Sa tagalog puwede mong gamitin ang salitang maipagdugtong o kaya naman ay "mai-connect". Marunong ka rin pala mag tagalog kahit paano.

emphaty - no place in the process of evolution

Hm. Parang tournament sa DotA ang evolution. Tapos tayong mga tao ay weak na mga heroes. Tanggal agad tayo sa kompetisyon kung di natin tratratuhin nang matino mga teammates natin.
Try mo i-solo ang isang oso o leon. Syempre mas mababa chance na manalo ka kung mag-isa ka lang. (Bawal kanyunin yung oso syempre. Lokohan na yun.)

Tsaka "survival of the fittest"? Di "by individual" ang survival of the fittest. Superman ka nga e wala ka naman asawa, pano mo mapapasa genes mo nun.. By group yun.
Tignan mo ginagawa natin sa ibang mga hayop. Para bang ininiyakan ni aling tindera bawat katay na baboy na binebenta nya sa palengke a.. Ilang gubat na ba inagaw natin sa ibang mga hayop.. Yun survival of the fittest.

Kung explanation gamit evolution edi:
"Mga weakling dapat may empathy para magtulungan. At syempre, di applicable** ang empathy na yun sa ibang species."

**baka sabihin mo mga pusa o aso. Tuloy ko na lang next post kung gusto pa.
