@Kendro311 So you can't be moral without religion, can you? People who don't believe in fairy tales, do just fine.
What about the 96% of human existence before modern religions were made up. How did the human race survive all that time?
It would be beneficial, if religion had not been made by men (no women of course). As humans are imperfect and biased, and so are the old religious books they came up with.
The old testament was written for a small tribe of people, and if you didn't fit in that group, then the rules didn't apply to you, and you were a second-class citizen.
This old book sanctioned genocide, slavery and the abuse of women and girls.
Even in the new testament, jc supports slavery, by stating that not a jot or tittle of the original covenant shall be changed, and that his coming were the fulfilment of it.
All religions have been in conflict with other religions at some time, and the resultant death toll is too high to count.
The sooner religion is consigned to the dustbin of history the better for the whole of humankind.

@Kendro311 "there's just too much to life and existence to think it wasn't by design." All the common arguments that life was somehow designed, have all been comprehensively debunked.
We are probably lucky, that the character of jc was essentially a hippy, who preached peace, and love and never killed anyone, or sinned.
That at least, gave any cultures adopting it ,the chance to grow away from it, as there was no penalty for apostasy. Unlike some other religion, we could mention.
God seems to be playing the biggest game of hide and seek in history, to the point that he/she/it might as well be invisible. This being rather odd, considering the he/she/it, is meant to be the creator of the universe, and the most powerful entity, within it.
Therefore, what is the point in believing something, that there's no evidence for. It makes no logical sense.

@southernparadise9896 "but without God, science would be unnecessary." What have you been smoking? We need science whether there is a god, or no god. How else are we going to explain the World around us, and its origin.
Your old book, has no information of any value, to assist us in answering these questions.
Do you think the electronic equipment, you used to write your comment, came out of thin air, from some invisible being? No, it took centuries of human effort to develop the technology, you take for granted today.
If you relied on the information contained in your old book, you'd still be in a cave somewhere, scratching a living to survive.
Do you think a scientists spend part of their day, thinking about god, and whether that god approves of what they're doing? Of course not. There is zero need for religion in inventing a new technology. God is irrelevant to the study of science.
Finally, why do you assume your supposed god is male. Could it be that women were treated as second-class citizens, by the men who invented what's in your old book?
Also, why do you people always have only one book. Maybe, you should go to a library sometime. There you will find thousands of books. Trying reading some of their extensive range of books on science and technology. You might actually learn something of value.

@phyllisvanhuss1190 "God gave free will so we are able to choose how we live our lives." Ah, yes. A convenient cop out and get out clause, to try and explain why your supposed god, apparently, doesn't give a phuq about his/her/its creation. All that effort, to just sit back and watch it all go to cr@p. Why not just get it right next time, instead of having to do a couple of reboots, because you cocked it up first time. So much for a perfect all knowing god!
However, there is a more logical reason, why your god is invisible. I wonder if you can guess what it is?
As for god's part human, part god hybrid, jc. Who thought that one up? It's a bit like the sequel, that tries to fill the plot holes, that were forgotten first time around.
Whomever came up with the jc character, should have been told that it was a bad idea, by the rest of the group responsible for formulating the new part of the old book. However, for some reason, he had is way, and they ran with it.
Finally, the story of the crucifiction and resurrection. When jc had a sh1tty weekend, by topping himself in the most pointless suicide in history. Makes no sense whatsoever.

@lupinsredjacket3191 "God calls Himself "He" multiple times throughout Scripture."
How convenient. I wonder if they tossed a coin on that one? No, of course they didn't.
At the time, men ran the show, and only a few of them had been taught to be literate. So it's hardly surprising, that they made god male. Why wouldn't they? Men were thought as superior to women then. So why wouldn't the supposedly most powerful being in the universe, be male too?
The bible was fabricated and written by ignorant, middle eastern goat herders, who didn't know any better. Although, you pretend that was god, who wrote it, and in the first person.
When we tell stories of what we did, we use first person (as in “I drove…”). When we tell stories about others, we use third person (as in “she drove…”). And there are two variations of third person perspective
limited (restricted to what only one character can see or know) and
omniscient (knowing everything, like God).
In days of old, writers used third-person omniscient. The bible does this all the time.
For example, how was Jonah aware that the seas calmed down after the sailors tossed him into the water (Jonah 1:15)? Or when Philip left the Ethiopian eunuch, how did he know the eunuch went on his way (Acts 8:39)?
