If you start talking about God or Christianity in a classroom, you will rightly deserve all the criticism you'll get. There are times and places where starting to talk about particular things like that is absurdly confusing, pointless and inappropriate if not downright weird. That's all. It's not persecution.
Children mostly are curious.
If they want to know of our origins why we are here, why should they only be given some "big bang" mumbo jumbo from scientists who will gladly just make up a new ideas and components any time the theory is challenged?
If they wish to know where we derive our morals from, are you really going to try to sell them your Darwinian theory of a guy who passed his genes down because he foolishly believed it was wrong to kill wabbits, and thereby accidentally avoided death by ingestion of a sick wabbit?
I never said any such thing. Why are you reading stuff into things never said?
You said: "When man acts..."
That's generic.
I replied directly with: "..and when he's ....".
That's obviously referring to the same generic, not you specifically.
It was not clear whether you were making a general statement that "all of mankind is fucked if all of mankind chooses to believe in God" or whether you meant that "an individual man is fucked if he chooses to believe in God". Either way, you still haven't been clear or provided an explanation of why this is so.
You made a mistake there, or you are perhaps wanting to be purposefully highly sensitive and precious.
I am purposeful with mis-steps from time to time; It can be useful troll bait, but this time wasn't one of them.
Saying you are being persecuted just sounds weak and cowardly.
Calling me weak and cowardly doesn't make you seem any stronger or braver. In fact it has the opposite effect (fyi).
So, Are you persecuting those of religious faith or aren't you?
Are you condemning those of religious faith or aren't you?
It would seem you have been very busy at it.
I won't bother going through the archives to dig up the evidence because you already know it's there.
btw
More to the point, I'm suggesting that deciding what is moral through religious beliefs grounded on fear of punishment or hope of reward, isn't itself all that moral.
I agree that this is where those of religious faith struggle to assert their claims, no doubt. But, when you think about it long enough- it really is simple and not at all different from what atheists and scientists alike teach their young every day.
Common sense tells us that foolish acts can lead to pain and suffering. Call it punishment if you will, but it's still a pretty simple concept.
Common sense also tells us that making wise decisions can lead to joy and fulfillment, it's ok to call it a reward if you wish.
What would you know of what punishments and rewards religion teaches?
Have you ever read a book of religious teaching for any other other reason than to archive the contradictions, so that you can be well equipped to continue your persecution of God and religion?
