Looker when churches get put through audit on donations I'll believe all money went to right place. Also law dictates only 20% of proceeds actually have to go to charity so saying charity to me is like saYing thief. I looked into opening a non profit and decided not to because to many avenues for corruption. The whole while the non profit or charity can skim money and the constructor of said organization if smart can place themselves in a very profitable situation. The whole while the public praises them as a good person they are profiting which is oppisite of what should happen. Not saying all non profits or charity do this the vast majority do . I've found very few that dont. And the church or non profit aren't the ones actually doin the good it's the donators. Then you say why doesn't everyone do this then they can get the praise they deserve. Well try alot of paperwork and fees that aren't cheap to open these types of organizations. Takes money to make money as they say. So please don't fall victim to the they are charitable game. Same people **** alter boys don't share truth with you unless you move up the church ladder of authority. Only reason I can ever come up with for truth suppression is you'd be pissed if you knew . Just my take. But I'm just a labor working slave what do I know.
But Moose, couldn't you switch their states in a pattern that could be interpreted, like binary code, on and off, whatever?
So sorry for the delay. This link talks about our universe being virtual and touches on the topic of "faster than light action" via entanglement https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Xsp4FRgas This link also provides more reasoning for the existence of a universe with a God. It builds very nicely of the prior link I tossed out, so, if you view them both, you'll have the best picture I can provide for you
That is a very clever idea. The problem is this. When you take a measurement of one entangled particle, you collapse the wave function and the entanglement is broken. Maintaining entangled states is very very complex. This is the problem that is facing engineers who are building quantum computers. For all practice purposes, your measurement creates decoherence and your entangled state is destroyed :-(
Church tithes support advancing the Gospel of Christ. Whether that be minister payroll to staff, building upkeep, utilities, outreach, international missions, or food pantries. It ALL supports the mission of Advancing the Gospel, regardless of how much directly flows outside of the church walls. The donations of the church go to support the congregation in times of need, just as much as it goes to those outside the church with food baskets and outreach programs. If you are criticizing the church for it's donations, then obviously you have never been to a church to receive God's blessings.
Funny I have been to church and go yearly to help a church pass out food on thanksgiving though not a member. But again who audits this. Most not all preachers drive pretty nice car and have a pretty nice house from donations. I also remodeled a lady kitchen had no idea she was religious. Anyhow I sad final bill is this and gave her final bill. She's says crap don't have that much but let me go to my church and get the rest. I say how does that work . She says from donations . I say really and they are ok with this . She says it's gods will lmao. So yes also I've been in business a long time I've only ever been screwed over by those that proclaim religeon and push it on you. The ones that are relegious and rarely bring it up are usually on the straight and narrow though.so in my experience and through studying and observation of more than just one church or charity I'd say yes most corrupt in some fashion , though aren't we all. And as I stated I know the laws I know the other 80% can be used to run the charity and there lies the corruptability. Let's say hey I'll hire myself as janitor let's say top paid janitor makes 60 k a year. I'll pay a guy 30k to do it all while I collect 30 and do nothing. That's a small example. I have a buddy that runs a non profit teaching cpr and low and behold the pres of non profit he elected cause the teacher started the non profit not the pres is laundering money through it to another business of his by using it as a provider. These are small examples. But seeing you stepped up very defensively about this makes me believe you have seen or been corrupted yourself or just oblivious to the fact it can happen
As long as the fear of death exists, religion will too, no matter how many problems it causes. Personally, I believe their is a higher power in the universe, whether that higher power is good or evil, idk.
It treats you like somebody with reasonable cognitive function lol. I thought the science would be way over my head, and a small part was, but I have to admit the video was very well made and the point very simply explained. I almost don't know what to think. My default has always been that science beats realigion. But if I'm to believe this video, then I'm wrong on two levels: Science says that god exists, and to continue to believe that there is no god would essentially be what I am condemning others for doing right now. I think I'll just keep an open mind for now, cuz really who knows what's going on
Where do you pull that religous people help the world more than atheist? And btw, don't say that religious people got more invention in the pass. In the past, you will be killed for not trusting in the local religion so no inventors and scientists have any other choice than calling themselves religious people
Um Faith is my clan. But seriously I hope you feel good getting that off your chest. 57% claim to be of Abraham religions the ones you put down hard with the history lesson. Truth is Israel is not under attack cause they are Jews. It's a way of life in the middle east for over 4,000 years. It's a great market for economies which sell weapons. Christians for the most part are converted pagans still celebrating pagan dates but so what. The first recorded sign of religion was actually a Neanderthal grave. Muslims remarking themselves most mistaking believe the Holy Qur'an is 1400 years old but it was not printed till over 100 years after Muhammed's death. Just like the Bibles 240 delay after the death of Christ while the organized the gospels. Actually these 2 huge religions have a much longer history then the dates of these books. The Quran was in print in 5 dialects and Muhammed's transcript as Allah apparently told him should have been updated. The sulda where Islam teach to deceive when minority Covert kill or cast out when a majority most scholars believe are the words of man. Timely too as their villages were being burnt to the ground. Today few Muslims in free countries hold and value in this. When governments are run by the religion of the current government huge mistakes which have a long term effect on society. Like George Bush stopping stem cell surgery saving hundreds north of the border. So Religion has been a source of sorrow stupidity and fanatical mistakes. Each group over centuries have broken up in even smaller groups. Heck the Pope was a member of the Medici Family for 260 years. For most ppl of faith Religion recharges them keeps them balanced. Fasting reminds ppl of empathy sharing family. Praying focuses natural positive energy. Karma, the rule of three, Murphys Law, are old names but actually pure physics. Energy travels in a circle and everything is connected. What you send out you are tuned to get back. Then there is aether that blue and red upward bound lightning astronauts have reported. Einstein said once it did not exist then later said in fact did. Now we know it does exist. If you can be a good positive balanced person without a faith then you have a unique ability and represent a very small percentage of the world. You should no the rest of us are on a different path but going the same destination. OP your rant shows 666 on your name. The 4th arguably the 3rd Abraham religion satanism. They out number the Jews so in population are the 3rd largest of the Abrahams. It's the one faith I've never studied but it is one. Hindu Buddhist Norse Celtic Druid Pict Wicca are divided on worshipping Gods and understanding them as relevant placebos and some of which effect us like Venus Mars Moon. You have strong beliefs for sure

The fact that it gets you to think seriously about a matter that many dismiss out of hand however, is great.
