How could anyone here still be religious after Christianity has been thoroughly debunked throughout history? All the ontological/cosmological arguments got BTFO'd by Kant, the Bible is scientifically inaccurate, etc.

Especially after reading pic related's work.

Who reads the bible "scientifically"? Seems like a sharpshooters fallacy on his part. Though I can see how the weakminded fell for that sophistry and rejected Christianity over dissonance between evolution and Genesis's story of human origin. If they're whole belief system was buttressed by that one pillar, then their faith was already built on rocky foundations to begin with.

I read the Bible to be a better person, make sense of the world and find my purpose in it. Not as some sort of materialist textbook.

Those arguments have nothing to do with Christianity. Even if we grant them to be true we would be no closer to a Christian god than we were before.

many christians do especially the weird ones like the jehovah's witnesses etc
they like to point out that the bible contains scientific "facts" when in fact it only contains stuff that was widely known at the time it was written

Because these things are mostly tribal dude. What your average person believes is largely based on where they grew up and who their parents are.

scientifically humans have no free will and all their decisions are influenced by their knowledge.
when god wants the path of humanity to change he gives them knowledge (religions and religious books).
that knowledge isn't necessarily correct because correct knowledge might be too early and it would move humans into another direction. that incorrect knowledge ends up creating the path of atheism which is the path that god wanted humans to move in once they go through the necessary progression

the day the (((four horsemen of the apocalypse))) decide to debate with actual philosophers and not straight outta county retard "I do it for the money" believers who unironically and literally believe that everything said in the bible is to be followed and believed in as literal as scientific facts will be the day I will take his ideas seriously.
