It is amazing the depth of nonsense, rot and trash in this thread.
This is an indication of how utterly worthless religion is when it

There is a basic reason why Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine.
He and his cronies have stolen everything they can steal. It is
similar to the Argentine strongman Gaultier, who with his cronies
had looted the Argentine economy to the bone. So to distract
public attention away from their crimes Gaultier decided that
taking the Falklands from Britain was a great idea. A victory of
that sort would buoy up his standing and ..., yeah it did not
work. Putin's invasion of Ukraine was meant to do just the same,
and the outcome does not look too different.
The fall of the Soviet Union did not displace people in charge.
All they did was to tear up their communist party cards, and the
commissars of various industries declared themselves capitalists
and owners. They became the oligarchs of Russia and these
gangsters have been plundering Russia ever since. The Russian
economy has barely muddled along for the last 3 decades. Putin is
probably the second most wealthy man in the world.
Please folks, knock off the religious rubbish. I see absolutely no
reason to think there exist any form of disembodied conscious agent.
*I wholeheartedly agree with your points in this post. However, on one
point you really must accept a huge deficiency. Ask yourself how there
is anything in the universe that knows anything. AG*
It evolved. It turns out that knowing stuff improves the chance of
being naturally selected to reproduce.
This is whether it is YHVH, Jesus, Allah, Vishnu, or ...,
including angels, demons, demiurges, spirits or immortal souls
that exists in some nonphysical form. This is not about being
pagan as Ben has it; no I do not believe in that crap either,
