Absolutely no reason to go any further. I’ve said my piece. Not so much in the last couple days but more like years ago.
You can unplug Smitty and plug in DBT and there is literally no difference. I get the feeling that DBT didn’t think all of this up himself but rather read and memorized the atheist talking points.
Don’t you guys see the exact parallels? DBT just like Smitty claims that he’s studied and memorized the world’s religions and has come to the conclusion that pretty much result in the same answer.
That is “How freeing it is” to disconnect from a value system that has served mankind for millennia.
That Smitty’s or DBT’s values are far superior to those that are described, for example, in the Sermon on the Mount.
We are seeing in real time DBT what a hollowed out citizenry looks like. We see the insanity on display and gloating over the death of a Christian leader.
You are a phony in my book because even you don’t really believe what you spew.
Now you are my brother and you have value. I care about you but I’m gonna be tough on you because you’re a human walnut.
You may not be ready but whoa to the man that leads his brothers away from God. I suggest you just keep you super duper opinions between you and God. He’ll meet you where you are.
And you are no difference than the gazillions of people who all say the same thing in defense of god and religion. Why is it somehow surprising to you that two people would share the same view on the opposite side?
To accuse me of not believing in the message I’m espousing here is not only extremely arrogant and foolish, but extremely predictable for you. YOU personally cannot live without god and religion, YOU would be lost without it, so YOU can’t believe that someone else can. The arrogance of that is just astounding.
I’ve never going to meet “god” because “god” does not exist. Never has, never will. I will live my life, and when it eventually ends that will be that. I will be donated to the Tennessee body farm so that my remains can contribute further to the study of forensics and such, I will decay into the ground, and my story will end. No part of that scares me in the slightest. I enjoy life and have no desire for my life to end prematurely, but I’m not afraid of my inevitable, eventual death because it WILL happen whether I like it or not. Nobody makes it out of this life alive. I focus on the things I CAN control, and don’t worry about the things I can. That is all part of having real mental strength, and that means not needing any kind of “god” or higher power to feel fulfilled and have purpose in life. Religious folks - “people of faith” - cannot find that inner strength within themselves, to power them through the days no matter how tough they may get. That is the very definition of mental weakness, and god/religion exist only to take advantage of that weakness for the purpose of control. Knowing THAT and believing THAT is real power. Recognizing that you have the strength within to do things on your own, to face hard times on your own.. that’s real power.
