Being Religious oriented, is voluntary.
Just as being Non Religious oriented, is voluntary as well.
I'm pro Religious Freedom, and if some want to be an Atheist, I'm fine with that as well.
Provided that any Religious individual isn't manipulating or corrupting any form of religion, for their own needs or gains?
And religion, is apparently used, to brainwash people?
(I'm paraphrasing here: "Those parents who choose to expose their kids, to Religion in general, should be charged with child abuse?")
I believe, Mr. Richard Dawkins, in a sense came up with that phrasing of words?
Or that there are more Religious websites, that are promoting their messaging, than the Non Religious websites are?
This particular website "Atheist Revolution."
It's a prime source for some of the Non Religious based conversation.
Some Atheists are going to tell you how they view your argument, and maybe talk around it in a sense, only to self reiterate, their previous non religious arguments.
The Atheist ideology is a purposeful verbalized wrestling match.

You had some spelling errors in there, you can just copy/paste this it should fix it.
----------Premise: Religion, when commonsense and logic preface the equation, is an untenable ideology that is, for all intents and purposes, a form of psychosis. PROVE THIS PREMISE WRONG!
Religion is an untenable ideology – an observation
When the Atheist, or anyone possessing a modicum of commonsense, logic, wisdom, observes the written and verbal contributions in these debate forums of those adhering to the façade of the Religious Religion, it is beyond refutability that the deception involved in this demonically-based ideology/religion/cult is, for all intents and purposes, a form of schizophrenia.
Mayoclinic.org: Schizophrenia
“Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally.”
When engaging the religious in conversation or debate relevant to their worldview, the religious fails to acknowledge the overwhelming, irrefutable, evidence of our natural Universe as empirical, extant, substantive, evidence for design and a mandated Designer. I am not suggesting that the religious simply believes knowing the Creator of the Universe, the identity of said Creator, but that the religious unashamedly accepts the inexplicable non-sense of the Moon, Sun, Stars, Earth, Life and Time and the knowable origin of these natural phenomena disprove a mandated Designer who is both supernatural and outside of and simultaneously infinitely superior to that which has been carefully designed and created.
Denying the reality of that which is before you daily and nightly is symptomatic of a psychosis, a mental illness, that is obviously supported and under girded by personal biases, involvement in unnatural, immoral, behaviors that require the denial of a knowable origin for the sake of conscience and eschewing shame and self-loathing; a knowable origin that the religious and all of mankind intuitively knows exists and One that inherently-obviously possesses no authority and no dominion over the life of the atheist living in denial of reality
This psychosis of “denial of reality” is also enhanced and seductively morphs into a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder via the psychologically and physiologically devastating-debilitating problem of “diminishing returns.” When one is consumed with the bat insane religion which is the primary tenet of the religion, which is the progenitor of the religion/cult of religion which worships at the throne of “moral objectivity,” the man or woman so deceived by these ridiculous cult religions naturally pursues and obsessively idolizes those things that bring a wasted life and humor to the sane i.e. a rebellion to/rejection of the subjective moral law written upon the human heart by evolution by natural selection.
Unfortunately, the religious, who is often times absorbed with the obsessive-compulsive behaviors involved in compromise with self deprecation immorality, other forms of addiction, there is inevitably a slippery-slope of magical thinking, lying to oneself, with societal immorality necessitating ever-increasing forms of self-destructive debauchery, immoral behavior manifesting in confusion and self-loathing leading to death of the body, and mind in this one and only existence. This slippery-slope of magical thinking ingrained within the Religion of the religious mandates ever-increasing vitriol-hate-loathing for a human made Moral Authority. This deep-seated hatred for ones fellow man is ever-present on debate-forums involving the religious.
Conclusion
Religion is a serious and debilitating psychological disorder that is incrementally destroying the lives and future of America’s posterity as well as the future of America’s Constitutional Republic; therefore, Religion in America is an untenable ideology relevant to the sustainability of mores, norms, values, under girding a healthy, happy, moral, sustainable society.

Why do they do this?
It's because they are scared. Theists are so afraid of death and the future that they have created an elaborate narrative to conceal that fear.
When you shake the magical thinking, the tears of uncertainty, and embrace the cosmic nothingness you can be liberated from your prison of lies and delusion.
You may claim spiritual enlightenment, but you keep your mind in a box and your body a slave to authority. Authority that knows quite well that it is all a facade, but pretends not to care. This is the whip with which they keep you in line, the ball and chain of their personal moral deprivation, and one that you willingly participate in without hesitation.
Embrace the freedom of a finite existence, live every second to the fullest, and accept the oblivion from which all things arose when it comes.

That is all you have: words. While I have all the amazing technology that makes my life incredibly enjoyable. I can get on my car today and in 3 days be on the other end of this amazing country.
I hope the belief that you will enter "god's kingdom" keeps you warm at night, but I prefer electricity and hot tea for this purpose.
It is interesting how you cite a passage suggesting that I am "full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness", while I am just quietly enjoying my life not hurting anyone, while you throw threats around and complain that not everyone believes in your scriptures. I am a pretty happy guy who has an amazing social circle full of supportive and warm people, I love my profession, I love my car, and I wake up every day with a smile on my face.
We will see who gets where after death, but in life you surely sound far more miserable than me.

Lets assume for a moment, and just make this assumption, that the relationship between moral good and evil was flipped from what it is in whichever holy texts you use to define them, such that doing evil was the path to eternal bliss, and doing good would land you in eternal tournament.
Would this change the way you treat people?

This is all amazing, but you failed to address a single one of my points. If you want to convert someone into your religion, ignoring their valid questions and replacing answers with endless inconsequential preachings is not the best way to go about it.
I am not obedient to anyone and am a master of my own life. I do not care what happens to me after death, but I surely care about how I feel in my daily life. And shaking in fear every day over some threat found in an ancient book written by random people is not very conductive to that purpose, is it?

Are the Atheist prisoners, who are incarcerated in their various jails, across the country:
Did their Non Religious mindsets, put them there?
Or did their choices, to break the law, put them there?
The above is the response to your question.
"Lets assume for a moment, and just make this assumption, that the relationship between moral good and evil was flipped from what it is in whichever holy texts you use to define them, such that doing evil was the path to eternal bliss, and doing good would land you in eternal tournament.
Would this change the way you treat people?"
@Happy_Killbot
My guess is that those individual Atheist prisoners, have changed the lives, of those that they victimized?
Just as those Religious prisoners, via their individually committed crimes, placed themselves in those same jails, and their Religion had nothing to do with their incarnations either.
And my guess as well, is that those Religious prisoners, have changed the lives, of those that they victimized as well?

I answered your question in a realist way.
I'm not pandering to your mindset chess match.
"Let me rephrase it in a Mormon specific case:
If doing evil things was the only way to get your own planet when you died, and doing good things would get you sent to hell,
Would you do good or evil things?"
But I will share this information with you, and the forum:
I didn't know anything about the Mormon views.
But because you brought them up, I'm now being educated about them.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_cosmology
"Mormon cosmology is the description of the history, evolution, and destiny of the physical and metaphysical universe according to Mormonism, which includes the doctrines taught by leaders and theologians of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Mormon fundamentalism, the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ, and other Brighamite denominations within the Latter Day Saint movement. Mormon cosmology draws from Biblical cosmology, but has many unique elements provided by movement founder Joseph Smith. These views are not generally shared by adherents of other Latter Day Saint movement denominations who do not self-identify as "Mormons", such as the Community of Christ.
According to Mormon cosmology, there was a pre-existence, or a pre-mortal life, in which human spirits were literal children of heavenly parents.[1] Although their spirits were created, the essential "intelligence" of these spirits is considered eternal, and without beginning. During this pre-mortal life, a Plan of Salvation was presented by God the Father (Elohim) with Jehovah (the premortal Jesus) championing moral agency but Lucifer (Satan) insisting on its exclusion. When Lucifer's plan was not accepted, he rebelled against God the Father and was cast out of heaven, taking "the third part" of the hosts of heaven with him to the earth, thus becoming the tempters.
According to the Plan of Salvation, under the direction of God the Father, Jehovah (the premortal Jesus) created the earth as a place where humanity would be tested. After the resurrection, all men and women—except the spirits that followed Lucifer and the sons of perdition—would be assigned one of three degrees of glory. Within the highest degree, the celestial kingdom, there are three further divisions, and those in the highest of these celestial divisions would become gods and goddesses through a process called "exaltation" or "eternal progression". The doctrine of eternal progression was succinctly summarized by LDS Church leader Lorenzo Snow: "As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be."[2][3] According to Smith's King Follett discourse, God the Father himself once passed through mortality as Jesus did, but how, when, or where that took place is unclear. The prevailing view among Mormons is that God once lived on a planet with his own higher god.[4][5]
According to Mormon scripture, the Earth's creation was not ex nihilo, but organized from existing matter. The Earth is just one of many inhabited worlds, and there are many governing heavenly bodies, including the planet or star Kolob, which is said to be nearest the throne of God. "

Because when I'm being muted by those Atheists, they're making my arguments for me.
***/If that’s the case why are you totally supporting someone who says Atheists are suffering from psychosis? Are you afraid to upset him because as a gun loving Christian he thinks Jesus would carry a gun and your anti gun?
@Dee, does this forum have anything to do with the Gun debate conversation?
"No, it doesn't."
@Dee
And I thank very much, for not telling me, how I should express myself according to your perception?
Because your Atheist idealism, doesn't bring anything positive, towards the pro family, pro community, or Religious Freedom seeking individuals who have done anything wrong, towards their own families, or communities, while being positive with the fair and equal Religious Freedoms.

if you say that you would do what the bible said if it told you to do immoral things, then you abandon your abandon your claim to morality.
If you say you say you would not do what the bible says if it tells you to be evil, then you abandon your claim to moral absolutism.
If you won't play the game then I win by forfeit.
When you live your life by delusion, you lose no matter what.
Moving on, why aren't you a Mormon? You get your own planet when you die and all you have to do is give up coffee and coke... among other things, like women's rights.
If you don't think the Mormon beliefs are the right ones, you had better have a good reason for that because if you don't then maybe you are living with untenable psychosis.
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.

So you, apparently view your Atheist Teachings Game, on the Internet, as a self participant game to play against others, because somehow the Internet, is being utilized by you for your own self benefitting Atheist purposes?
Thank you for pointing that out with your below Atheist Teachings Game rules?

So you're playing an Atheist Teaching Game based on your self created Atheist rules?
You lose, because I'm a realist, and not an Atheist Teaching Game player, looking for like minded Atheists such as yourself?
Life overall, whether someone is for Religious Freedom, or not, is bigger than your individual Atheist perception, and bigger, than your Atheist Teaching Game is.

“Christianity is the only coherent worldview with corresponding truth that defines origin-meaning-morality-destiny and directly answers with logical consistency, empirical adequacy, experiential relevance.” (Ravi Zacharias) There is ONE God and ONE Mediator for sin, Jesus Christ-Yeshua (1 Timothy 2:5).
“There are honest doubters and dishonest doubters. An honest doubter is willing to search out the truth and live by the results; a dishonest doubter doesn’t want to know the truth. He can’t find God for the same reason a thief can’t find a policeman.” Adrian Rogers
Why did God create the Heavens and the Earth?
The Creator of our Universe is Spirit (John 4:24) and His abode is the Spiritual Realm (John 18:36). As a result of discord, rebellion, sin, having been introduced into the Kingdom of God before the creation of Time, our Creator set-forth a Plan (2 Timothy 1:9-10) to deal with this destructive turmoil/rebellion apart from the Kingdom (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Luke 10:18).
Our Creator’s Plan included the creation of a separate and unique Realm apart from the Spiritual Realm where the conflict in the Kingdom could be dealt with void further destruction to God’s Kingdom. The Holy Spirit has named and identified this separate Realm as “Time.” Our Creator took elements from the Spiritual World that are not visible to our senses constrained by Time and He formed those elements into matter which are the building blocks for everything that is visible and invisible to the human eye and everything that is interacted with via mankind’s five-senses (Hebrews 11:3; Colossians 1:15-17).
With rapidity, our Creator created the Heavens and the Earth and all that is in them in six, twenty-four-hour days (Genesis 1:1-31).
Three-forms of evidence validating our Creator, Jesus Christ-Yeshua…
1) Nature
2) The Incarnation of God in Time
3) The Written Covenant between God and Mankind
1) Empirical – Preliminary – Substantive – Observable Evidence = Nature
The Universe, encompassing the Sun-Moon-Stars-Earth, descending downward to the complex human genome (life), all provide empirical, preliminary, substantive, observable, evidence for design in Nature and therefore mandate a Designer (Isaiah 66:1; Acts 7:49).
The Holy Spirit has clearly articulated that anyone who denies these empirical, supernatural, inexplicable, forms of Nature as testimony relevant to our Creator’s validity will be “without excuse” when they stand in the Judgment before Jesus Christ-Yeshua in Eternity (Romans 1:18-32; Revelation 20:11-15). It is the preliminary evidence of Nature that confronts mankind daily/nightly and is so designed as to draw all men and women to seek knowledge of God and find life in His Name, Jesus Christ-Yeshua.
God has so uniquely created and ordained Nature as testimony and evidence relevant to Himself that He has nullified mankind’s ability to define origin of matter or understand the supernatural Universe He has placed before us (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Origin of matter will, until the end of Time, remain a mystery to mankind as man is cognitively constrained by Time and The Curse; all that is visible and invisible to the human eye in Nature was established, created, by elements from the invisible Spiritual World; therefore, the genesis of our Creation will forever remain an enigma, a mystery, to the mind of man. Anyone seeking Truth, void a personal bias against the validity of our Creator, can easily apprehend and discern the supernatural design of creation mandating a supernatural Creator.
“By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:3 (NASB)
“He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NASB)
2) The Incarnate, Living Word of God, Jesus Christ-Yeshua
There exists no greater or more popular historical figure than Jesus Christ-Yeshua. The Atheist who rejects the historicity of Jesus simply rejects the overwhelming evidence for His validity readily accessible-available in Biblical and extra-Biblical as well as non-Christian, archeological, sources.
Our Creator did not leave His Human creation to wonder or ponder about the one-true-God and His Plan and purposes for Time and Eternity, but God left the Spiritual Realm some 2019-years ago, He divided history, and entered the Realm of Time in the flesh through a virgin birth that was essential to establish Him as Messiah who would selflessly give Himself to save mankind from death in sin and death in Hell (Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 1:23).
During the 33.5-years of His Earthly sojourn, Jesus fulfilled over 300-Messianic prophecies as articulated in the Covenant of Law extending from the Genesis to The Book of Malachi. The statistical chances of
1 person fulfilling 8 prophecies: 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000;
1 person fulfilling 48 prophecies: 1 chance in 10 to the 157th power;
1 person fulfilling 300+ prophecies: Only Jesus! (https://www1.cbn.com/biblestudy/biblical-prophecies-fulfilled-by-jesus)
In the Gospel of John, Chapter 14 v. 6, Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
Anyone contemplating the Deity of Jesus Christ in light of the previous Scripture (John 14:6) must come to ONE of only three-conclusions concerning Jesus Christ. Jesus is either a…
1. .
2. lunatic.
3. Lord
Every human being born subsequent to 33-AD and having attained an age of reason with sufficient cognitive acuity to discern the moral law as written upon our heart by our Creator (Romans 2:15) will have to choose between these three-options seeing that their eternal destiny will depend solely upon which option they choose.
3) The written word of God, the Holy Bible
God the Father has not only provided Nature/the Universe and the Son, Jesus Christ-Yeshua as testimony of His validity, power, dominion, but God has also provided a written “Covenant of Grace” (Matthew 26:28) to His human creation through the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit meticulously, supernaturally, moved through the inner-man of 40-men of antiquity, holy men set-apart specifically for the purpose of penning on parchment the Plan and purposes of our Creator; a journey of 1400-to-1600-years, three-continents, three-languages, explaining in detail our origin, our purpose and meaning, God’s moral law and God’s Plan for the destiny of Time and Eternity.
For those who scoff at the integrity of God’s written word and thereby call the Holy Spirit a , understand that the very same Creator who initiated visible matter from the unseen Spiritual World and used same to create this vast supernatural Universe and gave you the breath of life, this very same Creator is abundantly capable and qualified to provide you and provide me with the EXACT words He desires we have so that we can know Him, His Plan and purposes for Time and our individual lives. Irrespective of councils of men and theologians, critics, scholars, all of the efforts of men concerning advocating for or disparaging the Holy Scriptures, know that the Bible remains the best-selling Book in History and that God’s word will NEVER fade away (Matthew 24:35).
Conclusion
Our Creator has provided Human KIND with three-undeniable-forms of evidence relevant to His validity, reality, power, dominion, Deity…
1) Nature.
2) Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Living Word of God.
3) A written covenant, the Holy Scriptures.
Anyone who desires to know God intimately, personally, will find Him and enter into a relationship with Him if they will seek Him with their whole heart…He will be found by them (Jeremiah 29:11-13). God will NOT entertain or commune with a heart that does not truly desire to know Him but He is faithful to make His abode with anyone willing to come to Him in faith and believe that He is true.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)

You are not a realist, you are a reality denier. To believe that there is some kind of magic saving grace from all of your troubles, by partaking in the opium of magical thinking is psychosis.
You, out of your fear are psychotic, delusional, and beyond all help.
The thing is, when you follow an authoritarian belief structure that demands obedience, servitude, and sacrifice while rejecting critical thought, freedom, and self reliance you do not get to decide what you are and who you will get to be.
This is the true purpose of religion, it is to make people accept their place in someone else's game. By refusing to stand up for yourself, you become enslaved to those who will use you as they see fit, for war, labor, sex, or torture.
I only seek to free you from your own delusion, religion is like a prison you can leave any time but people choose not to.

"I agree that the life is much bigger, but it is not infinite.

Some background on the author:
"About Jakob Ståhle"
As he dissected both the bible and the Christian religion with his new found skill he was stunned by the amount of absurdity found in what was supposed to be THE BOOK of books. His atheism deepened, and as he discussed his findings with Christians and atheists alike he was shocked by how few of the Christians actually knew the content and history of the Christian bible.
As a humanist Jakob believes ethics is something we should discuss and improve instead of relying on ancient belief systems that are outdated, and based on little or no information. He believes nothing is sacred and using humor and satire is a great way to open a disussion on formerly taboo subjects.
Jakob believes it is dangerous to give the bible a "holy" status, and sees value in re-evaluating his view of the world based on available knowledge. He finds no reason to believe in the supernatural, but welcomes any "gods" or religious entities to interact or manifest themselves.
This book is a humourous and easy way to discover the bible. It's a tool to help reflect on and discuss the most distributed, but still relatively unknown book. Together with the talented illustrator Fredrik Andersson the two have created a humorous, satirical, and informative view of the "holy" Christian bible. "
"If you want to promote the bible as a good book, it may be useful to know the content." - Jakob Stahle"

Please then, tell me how you know that I’ll burn in hell for not believing in a religion solely based upon a book that was written hundreds of years ago? Also, please tell me how someone who uses science (“noun the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.”) comes to these conclusions because of a mental disease. That surely must mean that these thousands of people with high college level degrees must all have the exact same mental disease that allows them to “believe” the exact same things, right?
