Answer the previous poster's question.

[James Monroe]

Biblical literalism, in it's definition, is a ideology which thinks all of the books are the Holy Words of the omnipresent God. We know in the States those are the people that think the universe is only 5,000 years old, that deny all scientific evidence that is not present or unacknowledged in a primitive book, whose morals include justifying rape and slavery, who literally believe in talking things. The people that are behind all this nonsense  are the most powerful people in the country, as Evangelical Fundamentalism is the name of the buck in America, a religion tide to supporting Donald Trump and his cronies.


Ricky Gervais said in The Unbelievers all babies born are atheist. Do you agree with that statement or did Gervais miss the crucial point, as in babies have no conceptual understanding of complex subject matter and though would be better describe as Apatheist?

[James Monroe]

The latter. Ricky Gervais likes to hear himself talk.

A man takes a bullet for a complete stranger during a robbery. If the man decided to sacrifice himself for the stranger based on his beliefs, and his beliefs are not under his direct control, does the man really have free will?

Free will is an illusion that has no basis in reality. All matter of effect is determination by our natural world.

Humans are primates. Our species fall under the taxonomy of Great Apes. Christian theologies tend to bypass our family to focus on the humans species. With that all back by scientific reasoning, if you are a theist, do you believe Apes(non-Humans) go to heaven?

[James Monroe]

The definition of "good" can be created in your own meaning. You can be someone who thinks being a righteous good individual as just following all the society norms of your town, meaning you do not question authority, you live a life that is deemed acceptable by the people around you in life. Good can just be look as placing on the scale where it does not achieve greatness but is above the tide of mediocre or terrible. In our own unique way nobody is born with any good or bad into the universe, we just have our own conceived ways of taking the concept of good and applying to our moral standards.


Just before passing away in 1993 stand up comedian Bill Hicks contemplate the meaning of life as being just a ride, like on a rollercoaster. That the thrill of this life can be analogue to when once human goes on a amusement park ride designed by us, just traveling along a chaotic world that is superficial fast that we can not control with our perceived senses, a indifferent from the world. Do you think this is a fair description about the madness of existence itself?

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."
