it's about power, that's why the religious continue to espouse ancient nonsense... the church has you when you're born, baptized, when you come of age, when you get married, and when you die, the church has confiscated every important moment in your life.

[LifterBear]

Such clear and sensible words. To dispute them would be petty ignorance.

[Repackrider]

People can’t stand that they were taught bullshit growing up and they also don’t want to argue with their parents about how stupid religion is and that it’s truly unnecessary to continue down the path of lying to ones self.

Makes sense to me. I had the same thoughts when I asked myself if the god were real when I was 12.

[titusbaum]

Well, we should also hesitate to acclaim new ideas just because they are new, but in general, yes.

[helpmaboab]

Hundreds of millions have died because people put their faith in Marx's 'human conversation'.

[niyemivle]

The ancients drew on what they new in their own time. SAM is right must we caim those ancient truths as todays triths with modern scientific knowledge..NO. 🎉

Just rephrasing the Buddha from 3000 years ago.😮

[alienígena-ep]

Sadly, Mr. Harris of late has only placed his faith in conversations that confirm his biases.

[Chadyaniki]

I gave him my basis for the hure comment what is his basis for the witchcraft? Nothing!

[HaleStorm]

Lol Abraham taught the Egyptians about the Cosmos and the afterlife and they built one of the greatest civilizations to ever exist....and Sam jokes about his lack of wisdom. This stuff is 🥇.

[DivinaeMisericordiae]

So he says to have faith man. Man cannot be trusted as without God it is a creature consumed by power, greed, lust and other worldly passions!

[chrismuratore]

I feel bad for Sam since his brain leaked out of his ear one night while he slept. His doubling down during covid was stunning!

[Wade-]

I remember when i used to enjoy listening to this man.

[DonaldDouglasJr]

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Psalms 118

[DonaldDouglasJr]

] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

[anzawilldie]

Wow, a genius has spoken!
If only this ... If only that...
Yes Sam, if only we all agree on walking to everywhere...
We'll need no cars and oil..
If only... (and BTW, that doesn't prove God doesn't exist) 😊

[coyroberts]

That’s a sad statement. Men did these things you speak of. Faith in man no indeed!!

[grantandrew]

Religion will not give up its children to anything but sacrifice

[walterdejean]

So this dude actually thinks people back then considered swapping their child for a goat? He doesn’t realize that was allegorical? So I guess it should be believed that in this modern time we believe a fat dude in a red suit delivers toys or a bunny lay’s colorful eggs and we go to church once a month and eat a guys flesh like cannibals 😮
