If You Had the Power to Rule the World, What Would You Do? Here's What I'd Do.

[Blues Man]

Why are you so adamant that atheists move to socialist/communist countries? We have a home here. Just because we do not believe in your religion does not mean we should relocate to places you pick.

Religion was invented to control the masses and the uber religious love the idea of controlling people

 

[Blues Man]

I suppose you twisted this to mean that I must mean that each individual is an island who lives by himself? Get real. Are there alternatives to massive Federal government, humongous corporations, and colossal metropolitan areas?

There was no twisting necessary you statement was very concise and to the point.

I would make everyone take care of themselves.

Which religion controlled you? Once upon a time? How did it control you? What did it make you do?

 

[Blues Man]

Which religion controlled you? Once upon a time? How did it control you? What did it make you do?

You forget your history.

Religion started losing its control as literacy increased among the masses.

and it is still .losing ground to this very day

 

[Meriweather]

I would make everyone take care of themselves.

The plurals went right over you head? Why is it, in your own mind, you have me saying something so you can have an argument? Instead of massive government, corporations, metropolitan areas, I am simply envisioning smaller communities where everyone takes care of themselves. (Note the plural.) No reason to set up faceless bureaucracies to shuffle people into and out of the way. WE are there for EACH on a personal level. None of this, "Well, let me check your insurance, you may have to go somewhere else. Oh, you have to be recommended by your primary physician. You don't qualify for that." Etc.

 

[Meriweather]

Control is not the purpose of any religion. That belongs to the State. People can get up and walk out of any religion any time they wish. Not so easy to do with the State, is it?

Really?

Who is twisting now?



Keep trying though it is amusing.

Of course it is. Religion is a societal invention used by the powerful to control people in that society.

It has always been so.

 

[SweetSue92]

I can talk about religion and ethics if I want to.

It fascinates me what people can delude themselves into believing

Sure you can. But that's not ignoring us

 

[Blues Man]

Sure you can. But that's not ignoring us

You start trying to tell me what to do and I'll ignore you.

Besides unlike some people here I do not confuse this anonymous message board with the real world

Nor do I. And I do not prefer to tell people what to do. God Himself gives us the freedom to accept or reject Him. I cannot do better than He does.

Then why are atheist governments ALWAYS more controlling and powerful and tyrannical than non-Christian governments?
What you say is false.

REally?

Like I said move to Iran if you want to see how people are controlled in a theocracy.

The US has never been a theocracy and never will be much to your chagrin.

I didn't say theocracy; I said Christian government. Why must you always lie?

Let’s say in the workings of my fertile mind, I lay in bed at 4 a.m., and the secret of telekinesis is revealed to me. I can mentally move anything I want, regardless of size or distance anywhere in the world. I can do it easily and instantly. Maybe it would involve quantum entanglement. This would immediately give me power to rule the world. I could depose any dictator, I could move them to a remote island. Anything I wanted. What would I do? First, I will pose the question to all of you:

If you had the power to rule the world, would you?

I damn sure would. And lucky for the world, because my sole goal would be to help mankind. I personally would live as modestly as I do now. Things I would do:

• Institute Roman Catholicism as the official religion of all countries.
• Disband all atheist Communist dictatorships.
• Disband all Islamic dictatorships
• Ban the promotion of any part of an atheist agenda, including all rhetoric designed to weaken the family or society as is being done in the US.
• Allow drilling and fracking everywhere.
• Construct a Catholic chapel in all government seats of power.
• Outlaw all abortion and birth control.
• Outlaw porn and sexual immorality from all media sources and Hollywood.
• Outlaw gay marriage.
• Institute capitalism in all countries
• Ban the manipulation of free societies by leftist atheist forces.
• Make all public schools’ and universities’ curricula consistent with the teachings of Jesus’ Catholic Church.
• Institute a system in which takes governments out of the business of social welfare. Put that in the hands of individuals and encourage charity. Match donors with recipients. Encourage charity recipients to show appreciation.
• Disallow unwholesome ideas in all media and social media.
• As a government, encourage love of others and charity.
• Have an ongoing advertising and social media campaign to recruit seminarians for the priesthood and nuns for the sisterhood.

Amazing how similar what you want and what Lucifer wanted are so similar. Lol, God did not make you God because you are not qualified. Maybe let God do the ruling around here.

Lucifer wants the ruin of souls. I want their salvation. If I had the power, I would use it toward that end.

Lol, lucifer through his pride wanted to rule heaven and all things. God smacked his dumb prideful ass down and hard. I suggest you learn the damn lesson. But hey you wanna challenge the wisdom of an all knowing being you do what you think is best just keep a healthy distance from me. I wanna stay clear of the smack down that the father of all is going to give.

God would be very pleased I am helping His people reach heaven through godly laws. Buy you lefty folks don't even believe in God anyway. Am I right?

Lol, OK shortbus. Reading comprehension issues obviously. How many times does the Bible tell you to be a humble servant of God? How many times does the Bible tell ya you should make all the rules. Save your own soul before worrying about others.

You didn't answer the question about your God belief. Why not?
