Thanks, I guess, but I’d rather “regress” into the depths of science, philosophy and knowledge, than desert nomad mythology. Free will is not free, if one is blackmailed into belief by eternal torture, the very concept of which is rather reflective of Man’s primitive urge to control others by way of substitution and / or of malevolence of the said, created “divine” entity all Semitic religions speak of.
I can only hope that you, and others, continue to challenge and question your beliefs every moment you can. So will I.
If you are speaking of Jesus of Nazareth, you have not advanced one truth, scientific or otherwise, that disproves what you call “desert nomad mythology.”
For one who takes a refuge in what you call “science,” you have only advanced your own subjective mythology, leaving me wondering “where’s the beef?”
Also, your understanding of “free will” and “blackmail” are rather childish.
If I tell you not to play in the street so you don’t get run over by cars, you could see me as limiting your freedon or saving your life — your choice.
If I tell you not to be immoral, because there is justice in the universe, and moral judgment, or rewards and punishments, you could see me as threatening you or offering you wisdom — again, your choice.
Why do people have so much trouble accepting moral realities — they live with the physical ones everyday.
