Kill yourself retard.

Like I said, you are the by far the biggest retard on this forum, just stop posting. srs. Urine idiot
Do you really think a Christian Chinese man/women are going to admit they are Christian? Look into it sometime, you might actually learn something.

Christians don't repent for fear of going to hell. You cannot lose their salvation, they repent..wait..have you actually read the Bible?

I can guarantee you this is what 10/10 Chinese homes look like.
But this retarded dysgenic failure wants you to believe the Chinese are majority atheists.
China is atheist and communism in name only.

Absolutely not "necessary", especially when one looks at the atrocities carried out in the name of organized religion over the years.
But I think as a tool it did help pacify many millions of humans as well, in history.
Morality doesn't require religion - human evolution was required to understand it.

Am I just free to rape on Sunday because cops can't work? Is that the Christian utopia? Seems poorly thought out. Like the kind of thing some dumb cult leader who just didn't feel like doing anything on Sunday would dictate...

I also think that cautionary tales of societies that fall into total degeneracy and Vice then go on to meet destruction are good stories.I mean, there can be "A" god-like Being out there, but to claim that it knows we exist, and has set specific guidelines for us to live by, and gets triggered to the point of genociding his own creations because said creations want to stick their reproductive organ into a hole thats only 1'' away from the "appropriate hole" (sodomy) is a bit of s stretch, don't you think? With respect to the vastness of the entre universe its unfathomable how inconsequential it is for a god to care whether or not we eat shellfish or wear clothing of two different fabric.
And since your post stemmed from the point of an Observer being required, if there is something which can oversee the entire universe on such a small scale then it doesn’t seem to be a leap that He could also know lots of other things, including what’s happening on Earth and other parts of the universe.

I don't doubt religious people copulate more. Atheists are generally more educated, and stupid uneducated subhumans like you guys tend to have more kids. I also don't accept his definition of alpha as "people who have more kids". I also wanted to point out it was self defeating because then some dude in Africa or India (places he considers populated by dysgenic subhumans) is more alpha than his own examples.

Do you have the self awareness to realize how slimy you are?
This is strangely reminding me of that time where you were arguing with everyone who's actually fukked a female before on the subject of female orgasm and you were swearing up and down you know what you were talking about by citing research papers.
It is a very common trend with you. You have zero actual real world experience on anything you speak of.
You are such a failure on every level it's actually sad lmao. Like a retarded stunted autistic child who spends all day combing over research papers made by other coping incel losers.

Religious men being more alpha is literally that: men with higher T. It's about the most basic definition of alpha as you can get.
As evident by the fact that literally 100% of all of history's GOAT combat fighters have been religious.
Nice try attempting to redefine the definition, though.

Citation needed.
Is higher T automatically alpha according to you?
Bill Gates seems pretty alpha. He could fuk your wife in front of you and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Is he high T? He can hire those combat fighters to beat you up. People put on shows for him, and he pays them. He seems to be in charge of the "alpha" actors and athletes.

If you knew anything at all about combat sports, you'd already be willing to concede this point.
But being into combat sports would require one to have high T in the first place, something you don't have. Ergo, you're rightfully completely oblivious to this fact.
edit: lulz at your delusional edit cope.

Also, Its not farfetched for me to believe there is a "god". I'm a Deist. I can definitely entertain that there is an unfathomably cosmic Being out there that created everything, but to say that we specifically know what its likes and desires are is a bit much for me (or anyone for that matter) to comprehend. It either doesn't know we exist, or it knows we exist and simply doesn't care what we do.

Also, Its not farfetched for me to believe there is a "god". I'm a Deist. I can definitely entertain that there is an unfathomably cosmic Being out there that created everything, but to say that we specifically know what its likes and desires are is a bit much for me (or anyone for that matter) to comprehend. It either doesn't know we exist, or it knows we exist and simply doesn't care what we do.

The idea of revealed truth (God telling us about gim) is something that takes faith, but it’s far more satisfying to my soul than humans saying we figured out God on our own (lol).

It's been used for good and bad. But it's totally unnecessary.

Or are the Baptist teachings wrong?Christians don't repent for fear of going to hell. You cannot lose their salvation, they repent..wait..have you actually read the Bible?
