My Thanks To Cognostic

Cognostic has taken a lot of time to help educate me lately about some of my thoughts and posts here. There are things I have read about over the years that in my mind, I labeled as “facts” based off what I had watched and read. The thread I started about Satan wearing pants was tongue in cheek, poking fun about the images we are given to assert a belief in them. That’s where my thoughts of “ why would the most evil being have to put on pants” came from. I have read and watched videos by people far more knowledgeable than myself, who have researched the question of Jesus’s appearance. I, like many, including my parents, always found it interesting that a man born in the Middle East would have been of fair complexion. Now Cog didn’t argue my point with that, he pointed out that while it was unlikely, that I cannot prove it isn’t so. He’s correct. After hours of applying his logic to other situations, I find it the same there. No one anywhere can prove or disprove any biblical character,or their appearance. We can use common sense, we can read and educate ourselves, and we can get advice from an extremely intelligent chimpanzee, but we can’t prove shit. With all that said, given the information I have, I stand by MY belief that there are no gods,devils,demons,ghosts, or witches. I believe we live and we die and we are only here because our parents had sex. I have always been turned off by religion, or anyone lecturing about it. My natural instinct was always that it was a bullshit story. So from here out I will try to refrain from saying things are “facts”, but there is so much about all religions that I hate. That’s a fact.
