Given the title of the blank list is "Diseases eradicated by prayer" this list gets a lot funnier.

You mean to say that the only thing keeping you from r*ping children is fear of God?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

It's the only thing stopping them, and it's not even working.

Is prison the only thing keeping you from committing crimes?

Ethics exist independently of any deities even if they did exist.

If ethics didn't exist separately, and God is actually the source of good, then we would have a lot of logical paradoxes to solve.

For instance, let's assume God is who defines goodness and educates us on it, and goodness does not exist without God.

Thus, we recognize we don't have inherent ability to define what's good or bad. But that also means we can't prove God is good, because we already recognized only God can define what's good.

I might have butchered the logical fallacy a bit, logic is hard, but I remember it roughly being stated this way.

Is this supposed to be in the prayer category?

[–] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No this is the list of things religion has eradicated

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Agreed, but sadly the religious people don't see it that way (as I'm sure you know, I just hate how disillusioned they are).

Social diseases.

Well #10 is kind of a gimme; molestation is sort of their whole thing.
