They attribute all bad things that come at them to satan.

Like god doesn’t let satan do those things, without even trying to intervene.

The belief in a meta-physical origin of good and evil is why I abandoned Christianity long ago ( that was the only organized religion that I knew of at that time, others are just as bad).

After seeing so-called people of faith doing awful shit, I abandoned organized religion and sought a true understanding of why we are here and on issues like good and evil. We create our own good or evil, those outcomes are functions of our hearts, in every decision that we make, we have a choice to do good or evil. There is no meta-physical origin, that just exists in some people’s heads.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
