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.

Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

Belief in God 'childish',.....Jews not chosen people..
Einstein said he had a great affinity with Jewish people but said they "have no different quality for me than all other people".

Re: Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

Einstein was not a philosopher. He was a scientist.

Re: Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

"Science without religion is lame;...." Albert Einstein

And what other scientist supports this philosophic claim?

Re: Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

"I actually think Deism, the possible existence of a divine intelligence is not an implausible postulate. And I won’t argue against it. Science is incompatible with the doctrine of every single organized religion. It is not incompatible with Deism.” Lawrence Krauss

Re: Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

You haven't answered my question. Which other scientist agreed with Einstein?

Lawrence Krauss admitted that it is not clear what Einstein meant by that.

Re: Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

Carl Sagan agreed. Einstein explains: "Religion and science go together. As I've said before, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. They have a common goal—truth. Hence it is absurd for religion to proscribe Galileo, Darwin, or other scientists."

Re: Belief in God is 'childish'... Einstein

Man, are you that stupid?

Carl Sagan was not a scientist.

And religion in harmony with science - isn't this the thought of philosopher?
