Do you think you will reap what you "sow" , snow?? Who created you?? ✌️✌️. Thanks! What exactly am I sowing? My parents. I am the end result of what this universe will support. Have you heard about young people "sowing wild oats"?? That's just an example of something that is produced that has very little "value", and in fact, does a lot to suppress what could be an abuntant harvest. ✌️ |

What other humans do you feel have little value? Are these christian values? This is an analogy, If you really try to sow wild oats, you would get a crop that has little value. The phrase "sowing ....." , represents doing things of little value. Your example of raising wild oats , doesn't mean raising children?? Unless your culture espouses wild oats to be something other than what they are. ?? ✌️✌️ |

Sounds like a wise goal to me! 👍✌️✌️ |

This is an analogy, I think it would qualify as more of a metaphorical idiom. Unless you were trying to raise ornamental grasses. I wonder if that is how farmers feel who are sowing wheat to provide for their families. The generally accepted meaning of the idiom "sowing wild oats" is: To "sow wild oats" normally means (for a man) to have sex with as many women as possible. "Wild oats" here specifically means hypothetical unwanted offspring.Perhaps you should learn about things before expounding on them. |

I will stick with calling an analogy, I am comparing
two events that have equally value-less merit.
If you describe either as having trivial value, the equally
trivial value of the other could be espoused.

Pure religion is already defined. ✌️✌️✌️👍😉 I'm not sure what you mean by " pure religion", but I suspect each think their's is the pure one and the other guys is polluted. I understand religion as; " The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."People believe their god & their brand of religion is the right one and they have the Truth, so the others must be wrong. For proof see godchecker.com which lists almost 4,000 gods. Just for the category; Christian / Protestant there are thousands of denominations Ones god and religion is most likely the same as your parents, religion is often sexually transmitted. |

None that I checked stated that.
RELIGION:
a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
ATHEISM:
the absence of belief in the existence of deities.
position that there are no deities
For any claim that religionists try to make that "atheism qualifies as a religion," they must first distort the definition of the term atheist.
They will try to claim positions that atheists really don't take.
Can't seem to get theists to understand that it ISN'T a belief that atheists take but an absence of belief.
