Which evidence?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All evidence, considering it's based on BELIEF, and not the scientific method. Such as a wall killing a 200k+ army, when such an army would have been impossible in ancient times, and such a wall impossibly huge. The sheer bigoted bullshit that makes you a bad person just for believing in it.

ALL irrational beliefs are a plague on humanity, not just religion!

Would you believe something if it were demonstrated through the scientific method?

Such as a wall killing a 200k+ army, when such an army would have been impossible in ancient times, and such a wall impossibly huge.

I don't think that a wall could kill an army, regardless of the size of the wall or the army. This is because walls are inanimate objects. I feel like you're leaving something out of this story.

Religion isn't a belief. It's a social construct. It includes beliefs, and those beliefs may be rational or irrational.

You don't HAVE TO believe anything proven by the scientific method. That's literally the entire point of the process.

It had something to do with the Ark of the covenant or something. It just does not make sense to me, and the stakes of actually following through with abrahamic religions are dire. We are talking about gambling away your entire material existence, which you only get one of, on something better that probably does not exist. Regardless, I'm not having this battle with every single person again, I will just wait for AI to advance, which will pretty much deconstruct everything we do with ease soon. It just needs significantly larger context window probably.
