who believes religion is out dated (2 Viewers)

Eh.
I think St Augustine provides the most insight in terms of understanding the bible and your faith - when the word of God found in the bible contradicts your God given sense, accept that much has passed and much will continue to, and to change. Rationalisation can be a part of faith.

Ratzinger proposed a similar theory and was overturned by the church.

And the bible is universal - Mitzvot teachings on chastity, Christ's Sermon on the Mount, Golden Rule and Beatitudes (the latter being enshrined in the UDHR) have just as much relevance today as they ever did. The world changes but human nature stays the same - ideals such as love, forgiveness and social justice which the bible laches onto are of great importance even today.

I noticed, but I wanted to rant. Good call anyways.


On this forum I notice religion, particually Christianity (Buddhism always gets the all clear, despite the dalai lama's conservative views on every kind of non missionary style of sex) always gets attacked for being old and redundant.

Whilst certainly there are some that are (notably Mitzvot dietry laws regarding pig) Biblical messages on the whole are highly relevant because human nature doesn't change. The Hebrew and Christian scripts are built on two fundamental aims at the heart of man's primordial nature: to love God and to love one's neighbour as one's self.

Sources? I'll looking right now out of genuine curiosity, and I can't find a single thing. I'd also like the Koran reference where it says "do not wear gold jewellery, men of faith, because it reduces sperm count olol".

 

[ubernuton]

religion has alway been evil and out of date

 

[samwell]

Not outdated to those who beleive in it. relevant to only those who beleive. In the wider society only a small % do think its relevant.

religion has alway been evil and out of date

[fernando]
