Friedrich Nietzsche _I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time._ Christopher Hitchens: _“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."_ "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." - Seneca the Younger 4 b.c.-65 a.d. What really is important is understand the origin of the Jewish Torah, 1st, the Jewish god is an Iraqi god, made up in the then Mesopotamia. Same with Adam & Eve, the Garden of Eden, Noah, Abraham, all Iraqis. One need go further than the Jewish account of genesis where a Jewish god (alleged seen only by dead people) created a flat earth in a dome with water above and below the dome. It is further described in the Jewish 2nd commandment. But there has never been a more brutal, immoral sycophantic man-made god than the Iraqi god of Abraham. The god that brutally murdered (never happened) a planet by drowning due to a handful of wicked people. That god could have easily only punished the wicked with a thought, but chose instead to brutally murder a planet by drowning. All the Jewish Torah, the Torah based bible ad the Torah/bible based Qur'an is show the brutality of man against man in that time period. The once gabby god, is eerily quiet today, as though he does not exist.
@@Douglas.Scott.McCarron does it matter if it is the "real: thing or not? These are still stories from ancient, primitive, superstitious fables and not about anything real. You responded to me, yet did not respond to @tombrown7654 who believes that nonsense.
@@casyatbat Common belief. We do assume that about the ancient people, though hard to know. We live in our superstitions and fables. I was interested in your quote from Nietzsche, that is why I responded to you. I studied him and many other philosophers when I got my history degree.
@@Douglas.Scott.McCarron I don't live in superstitions or fables. I live in a world of science and evidence. Most non believers - the honest ones are atheist/agnostic. Meaning we reject all man-made gods as all are quickly falsified by reading the text of that religion. But suspend judgement if the supernatural exists. Does it exist? Probably not, but is dishonest to claim it does not exist, unless one has evidence, and clearly is unknowable and one have to have the knowledge of all time. If there was any evidence for any of the gods invented by man, (monolithically speaking) Then there would be 1 god - 1 religion - 1 denomination - no atheists or agnostics and no more need of faith, it would be fact. Since you like Friedrich Nietzsche *_“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.”_* *_“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”_*

OK. Not sure what this has to do with my discussion on mistaking writings as the real thing, but ok.
