Race?? I believe it could be man+machine, AI.

It did not say slaves are necessarily black, and the Beast will be Satan's chosen leader, could be any race.

DAAAAMN!!! That is EXACTLY how I view the bs I been taught! 2020 I was woke to these ideas. Being in a car wreck and bed ridden, I read. And then I noticed...ALL religions have stories that mimic eachother. Then I thought after scientific data,evidence, and facts shown, the Bible is a book of stories, I felt to conform the community to their rules. Basically to scare you straight. In every tribe, job, community there is always a leader. And usually what is said by leader is what is to be obeyed. Like if your bad little girl Santa won't bring gifts to you. And yes they apparently found the Ark. But like you I was like, how did the animals not eat eachothet. Let's be real, the animals would have smells the females mences...and it would be too unsanitary. Remember the that dome during the Katrina hurricane? Woman were getting raped, there was waste everywhere in a dome! So some stories may be true...but rest is bs!!

Discovered (art of psychology) after the fact of religious practices at which man adopted over time to explain the unexplained but, in order for it to have substance and the power to be believed after thousands of years before writing and psychology became an art-form at which man used to control people; All religion is related to its environment and its practice was formed out of the imagination to sustain its past and whether the stories are true or not, doesn't define absolutely anything other than a time period but their time is over now and if man hasn't the capability to define its own time period to coincide with their own existence having proof that they were here other than hear-say then, hear-say is all one is believing. Perception is the tool of consciousness and the fact that death is the tool to erase or to end, to begin anew. This act and everything associated with religion dies here. Belief is erased by time as will all religion be burned away in time as our sun will burn every bible ever invented and every belief associated with it. If it were so important that religion be protected, it wouldn't need to be protected, it would be out of reach for any ape to destroy the integrity of it as they have and are still doing.

Believe it or don't believe it is the option everyone has and life doesn't depend on religion for us to exist. Jesus is so wrapped up in astrotheology that one can practically reach up to the heavens and touch it, that's how I see it. It isn't even an argument, it's our way of life to be associated with the stars, seasons and the story line we all live year after year. Humanity depends on humanitarianism, not Jesus or fake gods and humanitarianism existed long before any god was invented to explain anything to anyone.

We're all going through an educational cycle and of that what may comes of it, will proceed us all for the next generation. Question is; Is it worth it to really believe in ourselves or some guy that may or may not have lived? I'll go with myself and today's problems. I was born not believing in any god or Jesus and here I am and that alone defines religion as a psychosis.

It can only sense the threat to it's existence by those things, and will influence and manipulate it's host to avoid, distort, or counterfeit those things, because awareness and recognition of those things will cause a revulsion and rejection of that artificial, predatory, parasitic egoic idea of "self'.
Jesus was here.....

You people make me laugh. I inspired a song not that long ago, "Time Is On My Side".
Spirit Eternal I Am.

it does not affect the truth-status of Jesus’ movement established by the event of bodily resurrection.

You mean an unsupported by evidence, apologetic claim, of course.
In other words: Faith in the veracity of a mythological tale.
