Nice response Ester. It’s nice to see such a well educated response! Most religious people I have come into contact with tend to spit venom at the mention of questioning their personal beliefs.
Regarding Jesus Christ being your saviour — this perplexes me. How someone so astute can still fall into such traps is beyond me. You base the entire story of Jesus Christ being your saviour on what exactly? An archaic book called the bible that Christians believe is the word of God? — If your belief is based on the bible then thats even more worrying to be honest.
If you believe the bible to be true or that the bible is the word of God, then you really need to watch the video link I put in my previous comment. Did you manage to watch it btw? If so what do you make of it totally and very convincingly debunking the “story” of Jesus and every other religion?
If you have refrained from watching the video due to fear of it blowing a hurricane on your belief system (and yes it is nothing more than a system of indoctrination for political and colonial purposes) then shame on you. I hope that comment doesn't cause friction ;)
However I believe you MUST be able to watch it fearlessly and let the truth take you wherever it leads.
Here is a 13 second clip from the Matrix, I hope you watch it. It’s a little cheeky from my side, but some theatrical fun didn’t hurt anyone.
Before you berate me about me taking an interest in a very selective portion of your article, I am 100% aware you didn't ask to see the door!
Yes you also spoke about writers, believers, musicians, comedians, and awful cooks. However none of the above has been responsible for billions of deaths and has been the strongest divider of the human race more than religion.
I see you write for a black publication called “Those People” on Medium. From glancing at the publication there are many strong views in favour of and promoting black people, and from what I read briefly, not always in a nice way. A few articles can be seen as very racist towards white people!
It also amuses me because the root of almost all racism is based on religious doctrine and so-called scripture.
Here is another interesting question, when you pray to your Jesus — What colour is he in your head? Is he black? White? Asian? Indian?…I would love to know your answer!
People do not blow each other up for cooking a chocolate sufle a certain way.
Last but not least, how can you be sure that Christianity is the right religion? Once you watch Kymatica and realise that there have been thousands of “Gods” since the dawn of time, how did you conclude your Christian “God” is right and the Muslim, Hindu, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, Scientology “Gods” are wrong?
There is absolutely nothing different between you and me, your basically an Atheist for all other religions except your own. I simply take my Atheism one step forward and also cast your religious dogma with the same fantasist brush.
Just to save you some time, I have included the Kymatica video again for you below — I hope for your own sake, you watch it. ENJOY :)
