WELCOME TO CRITICAL THINKING
Debunking false dogmas.

The terror of constant brainwashing indeed spells hopelessness for billions.
A static intellect is when predetermination takes the place of honest inquiry and truth is suppressed. The culprit is misguided religion which leads to fanaticism, barbarism and superstition. This form of credulity is the catalyst of existing adverse and prejudicial conditions that have plagued mankind for nearly 5,000 years.

"When the time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted." Vridha Chan. 16:17.

Can a fool, fool God? - Feb 08, 2002
What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt because his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best. Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment. If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he?

 A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he/she repents for being a fool and gains salvation. On the other hand, a wise man values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity and abstinence to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation.

Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Torah, Bible, Qur'an, Puranas, Zend Avesta, Guru Grantha, and all that other false dogmas that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only mortal like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish. In reality, a fool who follows a false dogma is only fooling him/herself. 
                                                                 
                         Redemption can only be a fool's passport to a fool's paradise.

Another mindless quote from the Quote Nut.
Still making excuses for dropping out of school.
Vijai Singh
You just can't stand the imagination of those I quote, eh!
Jealousy is a trait of stupidity.
Still better than the educated who don't know why they ended up stupid.

Keg
You're so funny! Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes

Vijai Singh
Not bad for a buffoon, eh!

Keg
Buffoons are naturally funny! They just don't realize it.

Vijai Singh
And men are naturally ignorant.....
"Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education." Bertrand Russell
...... and now you're stupid.
If not, what is he saying?

Keg
So ALL men are ignorant?
Then YOU and Russell are ignorant.
If NOT all men, some of us are knowledgeable.
Stop the generic quoting, as though it applied to everyone.

Vijai Singh
We are all born ignorant. It is the natural way of created beings.
Whoever knows who is stupid cannot be stupid.
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." Einstein
It applies to all, who they know who is wise.

Keg
Corrections:
We're born ignorant, but can spend life learning.
How do you distinguish KNOWING from BELIEVING someone is ignorant? Whoever THINKS others are stupid w/o evidence is himself a buffoon.
Another unnecessary quote.
"Fools MUST quote; the wise are quotable." - Mom

Vijai Singh
What can the ignorant learn when his ego tells him he is intelligent enough to correct the wise?
Evidence for your stupidity - whatever theory you support must confirm to the laws of nature.
It's unnecessary because the stupid thinks he is smarter than those I quote.
