    I would love to ask the pastor what he means by “educated”.

      To people like that it is. They think education begins and ends with their preferred holy book. It’s not limited to christians.

        But even then the fastest way start questioning the Bible is by actually reading it. They probably don’t encourage that either through.

          That’s why they do it as a group, keeps people from thinking too much when they’re afraid of disappointing each other by not believing the right way.

            "They believe the bible is the exact word of God - Then they change the bible! Pretty presumptuous, hu huh? “I think what God meant to say…”

    A good case for the kids skipping “Sunday School”. They should be outside, playing.

      Sunday school is indoctrination anyway, and should be called out as such

    It’s pretty funny they (technically incorrectly) used “farther” instead of “further” while saying education is bad.

        God used to be close enough that us just building a big tower was a threat. Now we look billions of light years into space and don’t see God anywhere. Soon there will be no place left to hide.

      Religion and Authoritarians have a lot of overlap I’ve certainly noticed.

    “Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.”

    If you aren’t familiar with the quote it is a classic one from 40k pointing out the virtues of ignorance and blind faith.

    When I went to boot camp, every Sunday was religious day. I started the Atheist & Agnostic group with two other recruits in the cycle. We’d chat about science and philosophy. They got us some books and whatnot.

    Eventually had a pastor from the Church of Christ come in to chat with us and try to debunk some of our science talks with that Bible knowledge: carbon dating isn’t real, dinosaurs are only 3000 years old, that kind of thing.

    He eventually won me over though, because church of Christ gave bread and grape juice at every service, and extra chow in boot camp was hard to come by. Almost like real life…

        Christian evangelism always involves giving food to the potential converts. I think the guy “converted” simply because of food.

    Actually, the more educated we’ve become, the further we’ve moved from the dark ages.
