Q

Believing in God is like wearing a wristwatch. You believe you know what time it is.

Now if you have thousands of wristwatches to wear, you don’t have any idea what the time is. Studying the world’s histories of religions and beliefs, and learning that they are all edited copies of each other (SYNCRETISM) is like wearing thousands of wristwatches. You realize they are all replicas and that none of then have the right time. BN 2021

Religion is 10% superstition, and 90% organized ignorance. Religion is a cultural inheritance handed down from parents to their children. The children are tattooed from the crib and will pass on these superstitions to their children. Then two things happen.
1. The descendants will never do background checks to learn how the Bible was totally interpolated, and copied and pasted from all the ancient gods and saviors. Nearly every Bible quote and miracle was originally from popular ancient gods and saviors. Research syncretism and read about all the copying and pasting in the Bible that was plagiarized from countless ancient gods and saviors.
2. The descendants will never realize that your religion comes from what country you grew up in. Example, if born in India, you would be Hindu. Born in Egypt, you would believe in genies and Jinns and their magic.
It’s not the facts, but perception that always trumps the facts.

Q

Science and intelligence only takes us so far; then religion takes over.

Swearing on the Bible that you will tell the truth is ridiculous! The Bible is a collection of plagiarisms taken from ancient mythical gods and their religions. And every last one of those religions were complete fabrications dreamed up by primitive mankind that never went to school, didn’t know how to read and write and believed in superstitions to explain everything they didn’t understand. Furthermore, the Bible has hundreds of thousands of mistakes and contradictions. BN 2022.
