    Thanks for the explanation, but that is absolutely crazy. Literally every word of it is fabricated by humans trying to figure out some way of justifying the control of others. Not one single concept is backed by any factual evidence. It’s all just a fairy tale, or mythology. It’s astonishing that anyone living in the modern world believes any of it actually true, and that they live their entire lives by it.

    Even if you believe that this is all the work of “God,” how can any human claim to know what God actually thinks or wants? The entire concept of religion was created by humans who claim to know what God wants from us, and anyone who says that is automatically a conman.

      I can only say that once I started studying physics, QM seemed crazy too. I won’t even go into the astrophysics patchwork that is the ∆CDM models, that’s bonkers. Even the CMBR looks like it’s assuming a lot of things to me, and lately it’s been taking a beating with new findings.

      There is bunch of things people say or do that are crazy or astonishing for you without context. Id suggest you to try not dismissing those things with a thought if you really want to understand them.

      The claim of no factual evidence begs the question of what is factual evidence for the reader. Also self explanatory within the context of the book we are discussing.

      As for the question of knowing what God thinks or wants, it’s self explanatory, given that we are dealing in a discussion within the context of a book that, presumably, tries to explain that to readers.

      Beyond the advice, you are obviously allowed to think anything about anyone.
