New testament, hell yeah. That's about as libertarian as you can get.

lets use ancient mythology/fiction as moral guides
Hell, we teach morality to kids using stories like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
Mythology tends to arise out of the need for moral lessons.

No. In fact to suggest that is just laughably absurd, showing what I can only describe as a deliberate lack of historical knowledge. Religion arises out of a way for people to explain the world around them, and to pass on life lessons and moral codes. . .as well as to justify the existence of same. Maybe you learn stuff like that at the 189 IQ level, otto. You'll get there.
Religious structure and hierarchy, sure. All about control.
So is government
and taxes.
And laws.

It is amusing how quickly the OP bailed on his own thread, after he started getting responses from people who were knowledgeable on the subject.
I have no respect for Trolls who vanish when challenged.

the lowest dreg of society has more morality than found in the bible.
Hold on one minute. You mean to tell me that the people who are murdering each other in record numbers, have around a 70% wedlock percentage, have the lowest high school graduation percentage, have the lowest job percentage, have the highest incarceration percentage, have the most people on some form of hand out by percentage of their population, etc. are more moral than the principles taught in the Bible?
What. A. Stretch.

No, he didn't. He cut out every part of the Bible that Christ spoke in, the rest he threw away.

John 3:16 is the key passage in new testament.
Its fiction designed to control.
There is no debate. You believe and I know better.

Can we selectively enforce only the passages that reaffirm my existing beliefs?
The new testament is for Christians, and even then you should take into account context. Too many people that want to criticize the Bible want to snatch verses out of context and apply entire Bible passages to every situation in life.

quote:Yes it is.
John 3:16 is the key passage in new testament.
It is the central tenet of Christianity.
How is that about control?
It just states that in order to be a Christian, you have to be Christian?
I guess you can assert that, if you assert that every group association in the history of reality is also about control.
In order to be an Atheist, you have to not believe there is a God. Is Atheism about control?
Come on, man.
And now your response is to Christianity, specifically. The response you initially gave was to a generic overview of the reason religion and mythology arise.
And you said it was an impulse to control.
Which, again, is laughably absurd.

And they can NOT provide one piece of evidence to support their belief. Their only stance is to judge others.
