Looking at this awesome photo, how can anyone still seriously believe that everything revolves around the pope or church...

...and that there's a supercomputer in the sky that created everything and cares whether or not Billy's been a good boy?

    Religion is a way to keep the masses in line.

    Science proves God does not exist!
    No need for religions..
    Now let's have some peaceful discussions about evolution.

    Really?  What scientific experiment has proven this?

    I don't know, that was the headline of an Irish newspaper some time ago.

    Headlines are almost never what the article actually says.

    Was likely just an attention getter to try to sell their newspapers.

    Why would this photo make someone not believe in God?

    The question was based on a quote from Bill Anders, the astronaut on Apollo 8 who took the photo. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at August 23, 2021 1:45 PM MDT

    I don't think he meant belief as much as concept. He is Catholic, and he said it made him question the concept of religion revolving around the pope and a higher entity monitoring everyone's behavior.

    I am not Catholic.  But this pict would not make question by belief in Christianity.

    The supercomputer is not in the sky.
    The supercomputer contains the software that is running our entire reality.

    People need something that's more easily understood. For some people it's science. For others, it's a faith-based belief. Physical evidence pretty much does it for me. This post was edited by Zack at August 23, 2021 1:46 PM MDT
