"To embrace a woman is to embrace a sack of manure" -- Odo of Cluny

Clement of Alexandria, Pedagogues II, 33, 2
With women "the very consciousness of their own nature must evoke feelings of shame."

Tertulian, father of latin christianity
"Woman you are the devils doorway... Woman, thou shouldst ever be clothed in rags and in mourning"

Knox, protestant reformer
“Nature I say, paints [women] further to be weak, frail, impatient, feeble and foolish: and experience has declared them to be inconstant, variable, cruel and lacking the spirit of counsel and regiment [or, leadership].”

Luther, protestant reformer
“'Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error."

St. Albert the Great
"Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison with his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she herself cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one's guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil... In evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good."

He said that women should be confined to the house and not be taught Buddhism.

"[If] women go forth from the household life, then the rule of Dharma (religion) will not be maintaned over a long period"

He told women:

“This [your] body is a SWAMP OF GARBAGE, an INFECTIOUS HEAP OF IMPURITIES. How can anybody take pleasure in such wandering LATRINES?”

Further, he told his followers:

- “One would sooner chat with demons and murderers with drawn swords, sooner touch poisonous snakes even when their bite is deadly, than chat with a woman alone”
- “It were better, simpleton, that your sex enter the mouth of a poisonous snake than that it enter a woman. It were better, simpleton, that your sex enter an oven than that it enter a woman”
- But the danger of the shark, is a characteristic of woman"

In abhorrence for women, he composed the following:

"Those are not wise
Act like animals
Racing toward female forms
Like hogs toward mud
……………….
Because of their ignorance
They re bewildered by women, who
Like profit seekers in the marketplace
Deceive those who come near"

Central to Buddha's teachings, is the destruction of the feminine principle, which is the root of all troubles. One is only reborn as a woman if one accumulates bad karma in one's life. One Buddhist scripture states that the female “should hate her impure body like a jail in which she is imprisoned, like a cesspool into which she has fallen”

Just the art style. I'm an Atheist but their art style appeals to me. This is a non religious question so I don't want biased answers.

I think dogma and anti-science religions will die out, but that science-friendly religions will inevitably fill the void. Humans need religion, I think, even though dogma will die out.

There are today many science friendly religions that are growing. Atheistic Christianity, Secular Buddhism, Animism, different kinds of Pantheism, LaVeyan Satanism and so many more. I think they will take over, as the science deniers litterally die out.

But I'm just a kid, and I as a Satanist am obviously biased here. What do you think?

Please tell me what you'd do.

After thinking about it, I'd likely not rub it in as I would be no better than them by resulting to mockery like they used to do because I will be concerned about my immediately future possibly ending within 7 years.

However, I highly doubt atheists would admit it was Jesus who rode on that white horse to deliver his righteous people. I think they would could up with an excuse to pass it off as being something else.

Answer these 2 questions (if applicable, meaning if you're an atheistic thinker):

1. If you witnessed the rapture, would you remain an atheist or become a believer in God (Jesus) and would it change you to want to became a Christian or would you claim it was another unknown event?

2. If a theist mocked you for being an atheist who just witnessed the rapture, would you think that's low down to seek that sort of revenge based on a event that was proven while your mockery was based on things believed and would you then curse God not caring or would you just beg for death?

Key to immortality right here. This jellyfish lives forever but it can still get murdered lol

I wasn’t a believer in karma till last night. I always saw karma as just something to say to yourself to make yourself feel better for a misfortune done to you.

Anyway, long story short, I got my own karma last night in a Video game. I was basically cheating in the game online a few weeks ago and yesterday night, someone did the exact same thing to me. I was pretty angry at first but then quickly remembered that I did the same thing to someone else a few weeks ago. I instantly became a believer in karma. There’s just no way it could’ve happened to me like this by chance. I hardly ever play this game and this cheat is very rare.
