Surprising religious ignorance, I've noticed over the years.
Not trying to be rude. Just a shower thought.

Over the last couple of decades I've had religious conversations and debates with people of a few religions. 40-50 instances, that had depth.

The common factor I noticed is their lack of knowledge of their own source material. On this very forum I informed a Christian that God both tells us not to kill, but also approved of various wars. I provided numerous examples but they vanished.

That's another thing...There are numerous contradictions in almost all religious text. And yet, a sizable percentage are in denial of the obvious.

I wish I could be in another's head so I could understand their logic. It's befuddling.

God doesn't condone killing as passionate murder.
God does condone war.

I know complexity is difficult- but it does exist.

Studied theology many years. NEVER met a religious person that read their own book.

Doesn't apply to me, because my religion, you write your own book, much like wicca does :csdsmile:

I read from the Bible a few times a week.

The whole
"I'm an atheist and I know more about Christianity than Christians do"
is a pretty poor tactic and never really worked.

This is why I am not religious

I'm not an atheist, either.

Both camps claim to know for certain about something they cannot possibly know for certain

I suggest you study atheism a bit more. You're incorrect. Atheism is basically saying "I don't know." You are an atheist. I studied that group quite a bit, as well.


And I was apparently thinking of agnosticism.

Faith isn't about knowing.

That's why it's a different word .

Its really not a tactic. Theres no agenda. Its just observation. But also distorted view based on religious rulesets that do not align with the religion, most notably in Christianity, could be some poor excuse to not read it for what it says.

You're thinking of Anti-theism.

No, I am not an atheist, either.

Religious is following a specific set of beliefs relating to a specific religion

Atheism is saying that one knows there are no gods.

Agnosticism is saying "i don't know"

I am technically none of these.
