Q. Why does religion need rules.

A. Because cleverer people need to make up rules.

Not because of a GOD, but as tool of social control, subjugation, power and benefit.

Which is why peasants lived in squalor, and gave 10% of their crops to greedy Bishops.

And Bishops lived in Abbeys and relative luxury, and f**ked any young peasant that moved.

Again .
Be it real, Be it false. 
It all appears the same. 


We should be gobsmacked that fake religions guessed then continued to use a " style " if you will ( Abrahamic ) 
As the one and only REAL , TRUE God  did.

You no me zed. 
If i created a false religion It would be for the bitches. 
Then I'd soon tire of that. 
And then i would ever so lightly start to incress the membership fees.
And find like excursion fees. And fixed fees. 
Then get peoples to run this . Because it gets to much work 

So  i go back to forcing myself on the best looking women in the group.   ( this is now a fixture ) 

Then id start bossing people ( men )  around .
Only , i mean  Especially men with sexy wives, 
They will unfortunately have tp start  working  3 or 4 days away from my clubhouse.

And then concentrate on the money side . 

Then i probably might start my formation into a actual God . 
Thus increasing all avinues of income. 

Then right when i think i am just about to die or get busted. 
I will have a big celebration . 
Then to give something back , it will be .
Free Coolaid for all .

Not one single religion would ever want a member like you.

It would be frivolous dealing with you.

Although the sentiment sounds fair, who determines what the rules of the religion are? 
Your interpretation of your religion.  People have all sorts of ways they interpret the Bible because the Bible contradicts its self.  If you’re Christian, you live by your interpretation of the Bible, and if that means going kosher because Jesus never denounced it, you do that.  I think Christians should go kosher because their religion tells them too and no Bible verse undid kosher laws.
It's not that difficult to follow your interpretation of your religion's rules.

The only thing I want 24/7 is money and peanut butter fudge no-bake cookies. I mean sure, I'd fuck Margot Robbie, but 24/7? That's ridiculous.

And I demand to know who is above me as 1st and 2nd worst in this hypothetical religious group and how they beat me out in the leaderboard of Bad Religiosity.

False religion?

Sounds exactly like religion to me.

Moderately tall stories and baloney will do, and then any old bullshit once you've got the masses hooked.


#38

A bottle of chilled IPA might keep me attentive for however long it takes me to drink it.

And  of course, it all depends upon how entertaining you make it.

Though I would leave my wallet at home.

Golden rule. If you haven't got it, you can't be tempted to spend it.


#39

See above.


A nice buffet would also be good.

And a few exotic dancers.

Though next Sunday I will be out on my bike, sorry.

Ya punch him,   Like you call him    ( a bible illiterate fool )   and you can all most sense him taking it in stride. 
And he doesn't studer 
But in every like "confrontation" ,  with any other  ,  it appears he knows more.

I feel , He pulls allll into line .  And all he is doing is 
Telling it like it is. .   His intellectual. And ever so logical. 

Does he not appear to you  to be ( the most smartest person on this site ? ) 
Who do you think might be smarter ?    Is Not a question

Because his the smartest .
You'd turn to him

MELCHARAZ,

YOUR PATHETIC UNGODLY AND STUPID QUOTE AGAIN:  "no christian believes in christianity, they believe in Christ." 

HELLO? Christianity is Jesus's inspired words as God within the Bible, you Bible ignorant fool!  Therefore, even Bible inept pseudo-christians like YOU have to believe in Christianity through the Bible that Jesus' inspired words wrote within the scriptures!  GET IT?

"And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God.” (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Jesus H. Christ, you get more "Bible Dumber®️" in every post you make!


NEXT PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN LIKE "MELCHARAZ" THAT SLAPS JESUS IN THE FACE REGARDING HIS FAITH OF CHRISTIANITY, WILL BE ... ?

It's not that difficult to follow your interpretation of your religion's rules.
It's pretty hard.  Everytime you find out something your doing violates part of your religion, you either have to defend it with a bible verse of your own or stop that activity.  If the bible says to kill people who convert people to outside religions:

“Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  “The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him.”(Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

This is from the new testament.  Christians need to obey this or leave religion.  If the state comes and gives them life in jail for murder, God will reward them with more rewards in heaven.  If the state executes them for murder, God will reward the martyrs.

If it's going to be subjective interpretation, then people do as they want - and as they do now. Stay or leave. It's up to them whether they have broken the rules or not. 


And who would determine the rules of Atheism? Or any other religion.
Atheism has no rules; do whatever you want as long as your not harming anybody else.
Again. you seem to have shot yourself in your own foot.

Not sure about that.  For instance, the bible says to go kosher and Jesus never un does it.  So should Christains then only eat kosher?

Again. you seem to have shot yourself in your own foot. 
How so?

Absolutely the NT expands the OT idea.  Peter was given instructions to embrace the Gentiles into the church.   The OT - at least from Jacob was primarily about the Jews in covenant with God. Jesus came as the Messiah in the NT to expand who might be covenanted with God.  Kosher as you so boldly put it - is more than not eating Pig. It is anything that is unclean is not kosher. And not just eating it, but touching it. 

Gentiles are not kosher according to the Jew. Just like in Muslim nations, eating with the wrong hand immediately brings a faux paux. 

Jesus's entry into the world - cleansed the unclean - through his blood.  that's the story of the Cross. It meant that Gentiles if washed by Jesus through forgiveness are can be kosher, then such things as pig and sea food, and other considered unclean foods can be eaten to.  Jesus himself said - it is not what goes into the body that makes one unclean - but rather what comes out. Out of the heart, which itself is unclean.  Yet once your heart is cleansed, then all things become permissible to some extent. Not that you need to go out and intentionally sin, but that with a new heart - you will be seeking to glorify God. It is our old heart that desires to sin. Our new heart desires to do good.  

You have shot yourself in the foot, by pretty much saying - people should leave their religion if they don't follow their rules. And then say on the other hand, that each person determines their own rules.  and for Atheists - you said initially that Atheists should leave their religion - and then you say they have no rules.  What does that even mean? If they have no rules, how can they not keep them?  It seems like you are attempting to make an argument that folds back on itself.
