I am currently Agnostic and definitely a critical thinker. I was brought up in a Christian home. I was taken to church and the whole nine yards. As with everyone else, I was fed what I "should" know and indoctrinated , in my young years. know. Anyday you can prove to me, with FACTS, that our existence is supernatural, I'll believe you. The Bible is too contracting for me to follow it,so, I'll just live my life to the best of my ability.

I wont conform to religion because it used as a control device and I cannot conform to any book that is continuously being re-translated as meaning is lost.

Comments of a couple of things

Virgin birth riiiighttt
Now, u want me to emulate someone who isnt even human in the sense of birth by copulation?


Commandment 6 :  Thou shall not kill -|Yet we promote violent music & are creul to animals|-

vs

(The oh so popular for the wrong reason)

Leviticus 20.13 -If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination: let them be put to death. Their blood be upon them....

...

Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. rigggggghtttt

Matthew 7

Judging Others

 1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

• We only use this as an excuse and for the most, forget to practise this.

Somewhere in Revolution it stated that nothing should be detracted from of added to the Bible(sin) and a lot of people dont know that it what is taken place. 

It also speaks about

• fornication which we accept because its a cultural norm (general statement)
• Beastiality which we laugh at
• Adultery, I dont even think people recognize this as a sin

The reactions to these(sins) are a result from cultural bias and not from peoples perspective. If we did not, we would view them in the same light. It's like, if you grow up in Jamaica you are most likely going to be close minded and abroad most likely open minded. You are culturally conditioned to think a certain way. You are told how to think and to what degree;indoctrinated, as I stated above.

My question to you
If you saw someone protesting that men should grow their hair, most likely you would find this asinine. 

1 Corinthians 11:14-15 ESV / 3 helpful votes

Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him...

With this stated, then you tell me I should emulate this man?

 

Kudos for this topic.

Well, I think the biologists perspective would be suitable for that question. I cannot state where we come from or why. Concerning evolution, it is portrayed in species alive today. Look at the mud-skipper,fish with adaptable fins evolving to walk(not literally) on land and I could go on. Oh yeah, check out this cool little fish. Dont know if the video is credible or not. Dod a google search, didnt help.
