The works science takes credit for was already known by people aeons ago with a higher connection to ? . .
Gross exaggeration
They did not know how to split an atom, or that corporal punishment in childhood leads to domestic violence in adulthood, or that corticosteroids are excellent drugs for reducing inflammation caused by IBD and arthritis
They did not even know enough about hygiene to prevent the black death

religion never actually does the work of proving it
much of what religion says has been proven to be ineffective or less desirable than alternatives
If you do not want to do it then why are you doing it? because it has to be done
Unless it is involuntary it makes no sense
It's not self control if you're doing what others want, it's them controlling you
Religion never claims to want to prove everything, it's faith and never denies to be.
what others want is not important. I of my own freewill choose to follow my religion
If you do what you want then how are you doing what you do not want?
It makes no sense
you changed your definition of discipline and now you have a paradox where people are doing what they want but not doing what they want
If someone is consciously doing something then they must want to do it
just because Joe wants to eat McDonald's but chooses not to does not mean he is not doing what he wants, he just wants to not eat McDonald's more
In your instance of people doing what they must: if they have to do it then they had no choice in the matter
discipline is not even relevant if this is the definition you choose
No matter what definition of discipline you decide to choose next science has to capacity of helping us learn how we can alter it for better and worse
You are confusing what I am saying, when i spoke of doing what I want I was talking about me willingly following my religion even when it means doing what I don't want to. so if you can willingly do what you don't want to then you have discipline. I did not change the meaning of discipline I thought you already knew what I was talking about an how I was using the word. I consciously pay bills I don't want to every month.
AS FOR the bolded SCIENCE CAN HELP people do what they willing want to do. GETTING people to do want they do not want to do is another matter.
In your example it seems that you do what you do not want (pay bills) because you would rather pay bills than suffer the consequences of not paying bills
If that's the case then you are doing what you want
If by getting people to do what they do not want you mean this:In its natural sense, discipline is systematic instruction intended to train a person, sometimes literally called a disciple, in a craft, trade or other activity, or to follow a particular code of conduct or "order
Science has already shown us how we can not only better discipline our kids so they obey but it has also played a big role in the development of propaganda, the evolution of advertising (aka the art of making people buy your ? ) and the creation of various brainwashing techniques
The method itself does not do it if that's what you mean but it can show us how to improve the ways we do it -
Most secular knowledge is either false, corrupt, or already standing on the basis of a higher knowledge. The works science takes credit for was already known by people aeons ago with a higher connection to ? . The powers that be control all this information, and we run with it without consulting our own consciousness. At the end of the day, a lot of what we "know" and "understand" is what we choose to. We know it because we BELIEVE it's true. I'm not a religious nut, but I'm not gonna knock anyone's religious beliefs and in the same breath take a science article seriously because it was monetarily funded.
Ehh not fully true. Priests and religious people often held back a lot of scientific progress, remember what Galileo went through. Also remember the most progress in science took place after the Black Plague, when religion proved a horrible tool for curing the diseases running rampant. Scientists dared look away from prayer and faith and holy books, and science hasn't looked back ever since. So not sure why you'd say most secular knowledge is false or corrupt, it's done a lot to fix the problems of the world.
Of course, I know about the religious doctors and scientists who have existed, but the vast amount of scientific discovery for the past 100+ years is without question secular in nature. For what it's worth, a large amount of scientists and doctors are atheist, agnostic, or are non religious. -

I don't pay bills because of fear I do so because I have decided that it's the correct thing to do even through I don't really want to do it. i'm going to try clean this up to make it clearer for you. The desire to do what you don't want to do is the discipline created by religion, It's internal and self created.
You don't want to get obedience through instruction, you don't want to lead the person by any outside code. The problem with using a scientific method to create discipline is that it's not self created and internal so it's not true discipline what you described is training.

Turn from this farce of a life. Embrace logic, science, knowledge, and the potential of the human species. It's not too late.

If we are talking about the European era of religion, then yeah... those particular groups have held back all levels of thinking. Like I said, a lot of this stuff has been known already by the Sumerians, Egyptians, Dogon, etc. A good amount of the scientific innovations of the past 100 years is based on mistakes we have made over those same 100 years. The holders of these knowledges have driven us from our own nature into the only path where those knowledges can be applied. Yeah, we have smaller phones and faster cars, but we are dying faster than ever because of what man has put out there as "life". The Black Plague ain't got ? on AIDS (man made) and cancer caused by cigarettes alone. The USDA puts grade A poision on our shelves, and we eat it cuz it's "tasty" or "healthy". The atom split was one of the worst things we have ever done... why that is considered a scientific achievement is beyond me. Yeah, it's an alternative source of energy, but so is solar energy... and they've spent a hell of a lot more time making bombs than energy panels. Our lack of a conscious, which comes from a higher perspective from this physical world, allowed us to accept our own downfall as "the way it is". If I'm wrong on this information, correct me. But the fact still remains... we destroy ourselves without moral compass to intervene. -

Yeah modern science isn't perfect, greed and research going too far does hurt people out there. Careless packaging and harmful chemicals in modern foods and products do cause problems, but overall a lot of positives have occurred too. People are living longer and are healthier then ever before, so give modern science credit. If it wasn't for modern medicine, a lot of kids in 3rd world countries would still have parasites growing from their skin. Old fashioned, religious based research couldn't fix that stuff, while modern medicine has created a lot more healthier people. And people are dying in big numbers true but it's often for self inflicted reasons, like you said smoking, eating too much (diabetes) and suicide. Otherwise, we're living longer and are healthier then ever before, life expectancy is up.
Otherwise I agree with you, people aren't looking at things from a humanity based or spiritual based way of living anymore and it is hurting us. Our society is all about greed and resources for the few. -

NO

Ok so some people are dumb the same can go for any group of people, This is a troll thread you don't really want to seriously discuss anything, this thread is just an excuse to bash religion in particularly Christianity.
Have I not seriously contested your earlier post? Unlike the repetitive and insensitive Christian recruiters of the internet, I have directly addressed your concerns in this thread.
Walk away from your religion today.
No you HAVE NOT. You replied by giving me an example of rare Christian extremist viewpoint most Christians see nothing wrong with vaccinations or even abortions for ? if done very soon after the ? and their are many many churches with REAL BUILDING FUNDS. Offerings are needed to keep the church running nothing is wrong with it, if you want a roof over your head you pay for it.
How do you know what most Christians do? Those are the most widely publicized characteristics attributed to Christians and considering the fabled "holy book" encourages faith over action, miracles over practical solution, and prefers ? over ? , it's best to leave this disgusting lifestyle and fully embrace normalcy an sanity.
I aim that question right back at you.
ME BEING a Christian who has actually studied the religion as a whole, I believe that should qualify me more than you to say what the majority of Christians believe. It's not faith over action it's action enveloped with faith because faith without works is dead and practical solutions practiced for the clear good and pray for miracles when in hopelessness or doubt. My lifestyle is beautiful now and when I was in poverty.
This is the internet. The intricacies of every culture is readily available at your fingertips. So even if you didn't believe me if I said that I've studied Christianity as a whole, historically, globally, and culturally, it ain't hard to do.

Dont quote Mein Kampf or his various speechs when they were known to be used as political tools. his propaganda minster and war production minister both gave testimony on the fact that he was openly against the church.
"Around 1937, when ? heard that at the instigation of the party and the SS vast numbers of his followers had left the church because it was obstinately opposing his plans, he nevertheless ordered his chief associates, above all Goering and Goebbels, to remain members of the church. He too would remain a member of the Catholic Church he said, although he had no real attachment to it. And in fact he remained in the church until his suicide."
Straight from Albert Speer memoir.

This thread is hard to read and yes science can establish discipline, but there needs to be a question why, what, where, and how first to establish a logical reasoning for this particular discipline and etc. But it's much easier to learn from The Creator. So...yeah pointless thread.

It's called logical analysis and reasoning why they can question it. What you are trying to say from a moral perspective which is an emotional response not a logical response.

No that's instruction/training, religiously created discipline has no set logical method and in facts it's true discipline because it's not imposed upon you from the outside. -

No, I don't know what you mean. I can only know the words in which you use.

Yeshua was a man. Enlightened as he may have been, assuming he actually existed, he was just a man, not to be elevated above you or I.
We should all strive to be superior men but there is no reason to value another's existence over your own. You don't need a messiah, a king, or a savior. You can do all of that for yourself by arming yourself with life's resources at your disposal.

There are people that still use a single metal blade to shave. That doesn't make it less obsolete in comparison to razors with multiple blades or electric shavers. My point is that there are some really nice philosophical ideas in the bible, but they aren't anything that logic and compassion wouldn't lead a competent mind to imagine on its own.
Calling Yeshua "THE Christ" is playing semantics. You can call Obama "THE President" but that doesn't make him the only President on the planet. "Christ" isn't a name, it is a title and you could claim it for yourself if only you stopped limiting yourself with Christian thought.

Off the top of my head, Marcus Garvey. The US government ? him over, but he was a genius with a great course of action for his people.
Co-sign Horus. Damn shame Christians stole his story.
A old style razor is often a better blade and gives a better cut than the expensive new razors therefore it is not obsolete, the other systems of belief i find to be lacking, what you consider to be compassion may not be to someone else what is good in your logical system may be evil for someone else. That is a fact.
I find the idea of any man anointing himself to be a christ deeply disgusting it's the epitome of arrogance and arrogance is the worst of all human traits.
There is only one christ that was anointed to bring salvation to all mankind -
This will always be dodged by the brainwashed. This will never make mainstream news either because of brainwashing also. It's the same with the muslims story. They all took the story and flipped it, then molded it to fit their culture. I also find it disturbing that nobody thinks it's weird that these epic stories are always centered around arabs and europeans. The language, the locations, the practices, etc etc. Black folks worshiping jews and arabs, speaking their languages etc etc. Now why would the oldest people on earth who first set up advanced civilizations be involved with this outside stuff?soul rattler wrote: »soul rattler wrote: »soul rattler wrote: »@christians

You know what i mean
No, I don't know what you mean. I can only know the words in which you use. Whatever Yeshua's actual mission and purpose were, there is no guarantee that they were what the founders of Christianity claim them to be. It's been proven that the bible was co-opted and mistranslated several times over. You can say you're following Christ's teachings, but that doesn't make it so.
And why would you want to anyway? Those teachings are outdated and largely useless in today's society. Let go of your religion and choose a higher path, one that you determine for yourself.
No those teachings are not outdated i use them all the time and so do millions of people all over the world, I agree that through out history the collection of scriptures called the bible has been used by evil men for evil purposes but it's words are still the truth and can be trusted that's the faith period
i do determine my path and i have determined that the teachings of the christ are the truth and in them i have found all things, a way to peace, wealth and joy and strength and much more if you have not found the same things in those teachings then tuff ? for you, you have my sympathy.
There are people that still use a single metal blade to shave. That doesn't make it less obsolete in comparison to razors with multiple blades or electric shavers. My point is that there are some really nice philosophical ideas in the bible, but they aren't anything that logic and compassion wouldn't lead a competent mind to imagine on its own.
Calling Yeshua "THE Christ" is playing semantics. You can call Obama "THE President" but that doesn't make him the only President on the planet. "Christ" isn't a name, it is a title and you could claim it for yourself if only you stopped limiting yourself with Christian thought.

And that story isn't just exclusive to egypt, it's just the most popular. It's several other places in africa that have similar stories that are much older. The only thing that differs from the popular egyption story was the names though. I also find it funny that these people would laugh at people worshiping the sun as ? . This actually makes more sense than any of the invisible ? that those religions teach smh.
