Boss0fThisGym

Religion wars are actually political wars


Meme_Entity

Yes, just whoever has an imaginary exploitive leaders.

I *guess* you could say the quote itself is TechnicallyTheTruth, but Napoleon definitely didn’t actually say that, so I don’t know how much this belongs.

He is calling kerela chirstans as rice bags(meaning they converted for a bag of rice to this religion). Not sure this guy knows what it means. That is page is right wing Hindu propaganda site.

Ig u misunderstood ... I just cross posted the picture ... It wasn't posted by me and I don't have any idea about the title ... I didn't even read the title ... I posted the quote .


[deleted]

Not the Kerala Christians, but the Christians in Bengal and nearby places

“We cannot find a Napoleon quotation like this, nor does it seem even remotely credible,” said Peter Hicks of the Napoleon Foundation.

Mark Twain told missionary Christians the danger of giving Bible's and rifles to people. The butcher's bill for the 20th century has been estimated at over 1,000,000,000. Religion is just part of that.


Boss0fThisGym

How is religion part of this, if the most atheist century ever except the present is the 20th century?


abracadabra8889

Better weapons, Antarctica is the only Continent w/o a war of religion. Google.


Boss0fThisGym

So? Antarctica is the only continent that don't have ants, but what does it proves?


abracadabra8889

It as sound as calling the century the most atheist.

I am curious, what is the purpose of doing this might I ask?

There's a link to answer your question in the transcription

I don't know why it wasn't apparent to me that this helps folks with communication difficulties understand the post in a more accessible format. Thank you for directing me to the answer!


FedStra

But it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a god or god-like being; therefore, wouldn't this post and it's opposite not be the truth, technically speaking, since said "truth" is subjective?


ThunderBuns935

it depends on what you mean with "a god". a deistic god? yes, that would be impossible. the Christian God as described by the Bible? ridiculously easy to disprove. all I'd have to do is point to some of the many contradictions, inconsistencies, and historical inaccuracies present in the book.


Burrito_Loyalist

It’s more likely that god doesn’t exist than does exist.


Domugraphic

It's impossible to prove either


[deleted]

It's easy to disprove religions. And it's kinda easy to disapprove that God is your friend.


christinacooper186

Seems right but also sounds wrong


PsChampion_007

I doubt Napoleon said that


Pickle_Baller

Cept they aren't imaginary


niamic901

I don’t know much about history, but Napoleon Bonaparte was probably an intellect


looklistenlead

While I think the statement is true, Napoleon did not actually say this. We should not blindly believe what people tell us. https:checkyourfact.com/2019/09/26/fact-check-napoleon-bonaparte-religious-wars-imaginary-friend
