Hilariously wrong? You post the same things on all of the forums you post on. Pretty much confirmed it when you went ballistic about Heather Heyer.
Don't forget the conspiracy theories about why Richard Spencer and Ann Coulter haven't been banned from Twitter.

Religion is not necessary for morality. I’m not sure how to prove that, but that’s my opinion, at least.

It's certainly is an opinion and one without good evidence. Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin.

What's that famous quote by Stalin? "Death is the ultimate solution to mans problems. No man no problem." And people like this have committed the worst of atrocities based off this justification. Having a natural fear of God and having a society with a natural fear of God puts the breaks on this.

People worshipped many things, doesn't disprove the Bible. Jews and Christians were the same until Jesus came and politics caused some people to hate and kill him (modern Jews), sorry you didn't know this.
Is this some immortal lizard man theory, like the british royalty?

The thousand of religions has all led up to the supremacy of Christianity. One of the 10 commandments is that you do not worship other gods except the one high god. The Bible takes into account that other gods exist and have been worshipped. Christianity and the bible has thousands of years of debate building it up from the brightest of philosophers and thinkers throughout history. These aren’t a bunch of made up rules we follow for the hell of it.

It’s true Christianity didn’t always exist though. It started with the birth of Jesus and he became the reform of a religion that already existed, Judaism. Many sources talk about Jesus, even outside the Bible. Such as the Quran which celebrates Jesus not as the son of god but some sort of magic saint.

Will something replace Christianity? Christianity could shrink but the story of the Bible takes us right to the very end, Armageddon.

Religion let alone Christianity isn’t going anywhere. I promise you this. The Bible simply doesn’t change. It’s the word of god and thus infallible. If you think the Bible is wrong when you are reading it, odds are you need an adjustment to your perspective. And that’s another great thing about Christianity, it provides something stable when entities like media and scientists start getting bought off, wacky and pushing weird narratives on the public that are paid for.
There are commandments not to kill yet also mandates to kill. It's a series of stories to give context to life.

Have you considered some of these people were raised religiously and rejected it as they were amoral, not that they were amoral as they rejected religion?

Then they are great case studies to say “stick with your religions no matter what”. If one has a fear of god, it’s healthy and I’ve shown that a few times in this thread now with practical examples.

The moderators over at Twitter certainly put a fear of God into some of us posting in this thread.

That's quite easy to prove. Plenty of upstanding people of high character behave well because they want to, not because they believe God is keeping tabs on them. I don't follow or believe in any religion, and I'm a strict rule follower and I'm generally kind to everyone I meet. I don't have affairs or steal and have never been in trouble with the law. I'm sure everyone knows someone that isn't a religious person, but is still a good one. That's your proof!

Me too, Fawqueue. And hey, sounds clear enough to me.
