I can answer any theological question (I hope) you might have. I write this because having a skewed view of God can have a very negative effect on life, and I want you to have the best life possible!

Q u o t e:
Power is only measure of man in life, strength is only true philosophy

I suppose that is only a statement, but elaborate a little, I am intrigued.

Gotta go burn some logs, will after.

Ok :) Nappy time for me though, I'll re-visit this thread again tomorrow.

Q u o t e:


1. Why do you suppose a monotheistic god is so popular these days, as opposed to polytheistic?

2. Do you think a willfully ignorant population that is happy does more harm to a society in the long run or not?

---

Willfully ignorant... Willfully ignorant implies they know they are wrong, when in fact true Christians definitely have complete faith there is God, and do not think they are wrong in any way.

Now if you took out the "willfully" from your question it would be more of a proper question.

I do like how you said ignorant and not retarded or idiotic though. I give you props on that one.

1. maby because it it easier to rally people around one god than many. if you're in a group worshipping different gods it becomes difficult to name anyone devient a heretic and then loose control over them, or in other words: a person with polytheistic faith is more suceptible to new beliefs than a person with a monotheistic faith

2. I think I saw some thoughts by Schopenhauer where he proposed that the optimal thing for a person to believe doesn't necessarily needs to be the truth, this had not an intuitive name though and had no article on wikipedia so I have no idea what it was called. In order to answer this in any meaningful way however, one need to define what is optimal or, as you put it, what is harmful for a society

Questions:

1.) How do you know your answers to any theological questions contain truth?
2.) If you rely on one of the religious bibles out there, how do you know your bible is true and some other mutually exclusive bible is false?
3.) Does some of the truth you believe you know come from inspiration found through faith?
4.) Is your faith based inspiration better than the faith based inspiration of a person who rejects your god? If so, how do you know this?

No man can tell you what the Truth is. It is something you can only discover on your own.

Nonsense. Many truths we have found have been articulated quite accurately. For example, mass attracts mass. Not only can a man or woman tell you that, but they can quite comprehensively demonstrate it.

Why do people still believe in these residual superstitions?

You are talking about truth, I am talking about Truth. There's a difference.
