How about this. Roman catholics believe that Jesus WAS god, not the son of god. Roman Catholics have the same access to all of the same material, so why do they differ from other Christians? You have no evidence that he was the son of god, they have no evidence that he WAS god, so how do either of you manage to condemn anyone else? I bring this up because Roman Catholicism makes up about 1 billion of the 1.6-1.8 billion Christians. The other 6-700 million are split between 20 different denominations, none of which can agree with each other. How can anyone be a Christian when there are 20 or more kinds of christians and none of them say the same thing?

Also, it is impossible in all ways for a person to interact with something that cannot be detected in any way. It has also been proven that temporal lobe seizures can produce profound religious experiences, thus religious feeling comes from the temporal lobe, and it has been proven that those feelings can be manipulated with EM waves applied to the temporal lobe.

Again, my point is that there is no right and wrong. Right and wrong are subjective. That is why there are "good" and "bad" people. What seems right to them is wrong to someone else. That is the entire problem. Christianity pretends to know all the answers. And anyone contradicting those absolute answers is godless, a heretic, and immoral. Religions existed before Christianity, some were created afterward, and all of them have the exact same merit, no matter what they say. Your belief that killing is wrong is no more powerful than the Aztecs belief that killing was beneficial, or the Aghori's belief that wiping dead people's ashes on yourself and drinking your own urine is beneficial.

And just because "right" and "wrong" are not derived from a god does not make them less potent. Frankly, the threat of jail is more of a deterrent to me than some invisible ghost man that probably doesn't exist, if I were to think about commiting a crime. Speaking of which, why punish anyone in this lifetime when god judges everyone after they die? That seems to me to imply a lack of faith.
