When did you grow out of your atheist phase?
>>82919640i went from hardcore christian at 0-13atheist 13-17agnostic 17-nowi'd never go back to atheism cuz that's gay and retardedbut i think i'm too sick of any religion to truly invest time into it/believe it's worth my time
>>82919640I am an atheist, but I wish I wasn't. So many bad things have happened to me, in such a short amount of time, I cannot believe a loving god would create something like me, just to suffer.
Why haven't you stopped believing in fairytales?
i grew into atheism in my teens, grew out of it by 18, then grew back into it by 25
>>82919640At some point every atheist understands how dumb atheism truly is. The few who doesn't never grow.
>>82919668How's 8th grade going for you?
>>82919640I just see religion for what it is something to dull the masses. Gods probably exist and their influence too but most of it are fairy tales.
>>82919640roughly 15. then i left christianity again at 20.
>>82919640High school. Became agnostic until 21. Since then my definition of God began to widen.
>>82919640Raised non-denominational ChristianBecame a militant atheist from like 14-21, watching all those "stupid Christians OWNED" skeptic videos like Thunderf00t and Penn and Teller Bullshit After that I my stance softened. I still don't believe, but simply because there's no evidence for it. I would love to know there's a higher power out there.
>>82919640Honestly never had one. I was always ultimately a person who kept thinking about and being resentful about being born since like 5th grade. >waaah why I hate you God why why why Much to focused on the why. Unironically my faith has increased and my perception of good and evil have changed only in the past couple months.
>>82919675>At some point every atheist understands how dumb atheism truly isIn what way is it dumb? Why would they do that?Usually when you let go of nonsense and lies you don't suddenly decide 5 years later to go back to it. When I realized there was no Santa Claus at 8 years old, at 13 I didn't suddenly decide to believe in him again because presents are cool.Santa Claus is just the warmup for the real test. If there's no magic fat men flying through the sky there's also no dead Jews controlling the universe either. Fiction is fiction.
>>82919806But is there a creator?
I never was atheistic in a sense that I don't deny possibility that there is some sort of supernatural force, God or something like that existing. Most likely there is some sort of afterlife that we are incapable to fully perceive or comprehend.But I never was a Christian and honestly can't imagine myself ever being one, or believing in any religion for that matter. And honestly I feel like most of 3-digit IQ Christians are either kinda larping or in denial, for the most part.
>>82919640I don't believe you genuinely believe in christianity. Like pretty much all online "christians" you just do a live-action roleplay because you've decided that because the left is predominantly non-religious, christianity is therefore good. But you have no faith, in your heart you know it's bullshit - you just enjoy the institutions and traditions.
>>82919839>you just enjoy the institutions and traditions.Most online "born again"ers do not follow any traditions or even bother going to church. Their Christianity begins and ends with memes and arguing with people.
>>82919839>>82919857Hello, I am a Christian leftist. Please stop discussing me while you don't think I'm in the room. I just wanna play guitar at church!
>>82919825I don't want to argue agnosticism, because you guys go straight to the "well maybe" and it's too vague to shut down.If the universe was created by a single entity, cool. Prove it first before you tell me to accept it.Is the entity a genie from a tiny desert on Earth full of backwards slavers and star worshipers? Absolutely fucking not.
>>82919679Less rapey than it was for you.
>>829196403 years ago, realized Christ is King
>>82919904That implies that it was somewhat rapey for you.
>>82919839It's reactionary Christianity. They don't like progression so their solution is regression to the old ways.>It's old and traditional, so it must be better than these new scary things.They like the old rules about treating people like shit as well, and they can hide behind "God said it" when pressed for why they would be so immoral and callous.Stupid losers are always calling for a return to the better past (that never was) because they suck in the present time and "boy oh boy, if only we could go back to that good time, then I'd be happy and cool". And no, none of them really take faith seriously except for the schizophrenic.
>>82919806Yo Santa Does Exist ThoughCheck Out His Grave. See How It's Smashed OPEN?????
>>82919806I think Atheism is dumb too but not because of the belief, but mostly because Atheists do zero research on religion mostly. When I have debates with them they don't really know much about Christianity, nor the historical evidence behind Jesus. Like, I'd bring up the objective fact that Jesus is a historical character and they'd deny it, the most hardcore atheist historian wouldn't deny that lolNta anon btw
>>82919825If you dont believe in a revealed god, which is represented by one of the religions, then it doesnt matter. Even if there is some phylosophical god like creator or first mover or something we dont know what he wants or if he even cares. So it has no influence on ones life.
>>829198391. wrong2. even if true it's still better than being an atheist faggotimagine believing the universe came from nothing lmao
>>82919971>he objective fact that Jesus is a historical characterWhat do you mean by character? Because if he's a real dude he didn't leave behind a trace. We have more hard evidence of Amelia Earhart than we have of Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef. If he's like Spider-Man, sure. He's a character.
>>82920003It's just the word I chose, i don't really differentiate between character and person
>>82919640I'm not a zoomer who has to mold himself to every retarded online trend that comes along so never.>le fedoraDon't care, if you base your lifestyle and belief based on what is or isn't shilled on the internet consider suicide.
>>82919981You are an atheist LARPing.
A supernatural being does exist and he does mess with your life.
>>82920075I like to think of him as just the greatest troll to ever exist. Imagine finally your consciousness fades away even if you suffered horribly while dying then you open your eyes again and see or hear the funniest thing ever.
>>82920003>he didn't leave behind a trace>no evidence of someone who existed 2000 years ago>2000 years before the internet>2000 years before mainstream publishingDespite all that, he is the most famous person on Earth and has been for the last 2000 years>inb4 the bible was written after he diedso are a lot of biographies
Is it OK to be a Christian for purely selfish reasons? What if I just want to be saved?
>>82919640Ive always believed in God, but im not moral enough to follow the path. I like fapping too much
>>82919640When I discovered materialist panentheism which allows me to look down on christcucks and their sky daddy concept of god in a new and refreshing way.
>>82919944she has a cock?!
When I had one of pic related talk to me When a female angel heals your broken leg you realize instantly>Okay, you're not a succubus or schizophrenia...ANGELBut when I tell people this in combination with the angel saying>Christianity isn't true neither are any major religions God is more merciful than humans recorded in their religions and refuses to burn a single soul alive in eternal fire even Satan or the DevilThey say I'm schizo or pretending for having a spirit heal my busted leg (45 degrees the wrong way, she kissed it and it healed)
>>82920822Look into Universalism, they say the same thing about salvation.
>>82920015Xittertards need to be shot out of cannons into the ocean
My Dad died around two years ago. Did some soul searching after the loss, decided I wanted to know more about spirituality. Did drugs, read books, spoke to voices, ran into hostile witchcraft types, got magic used on me + realized I was already inhabited. Christian demonology Youtube video described exactly what was happening to me. (spirit of confusion, had a voice in head always jabbering plus strange sensations of tentacles going in and out of skull) Experience flash of light one Sunday after crying out to God for a bit that guides me to asking a friend at perfect timing to go to church with him where conveniently they have guys after service that help with deliverance. Get exorcised a little bit. That's when, I had what I think was my first real confirmed encounter with the power and authority of Jesus Christ, though I had been watching and reading a ton of Christian content that was making things pretty clear.
>>82920949>does drugs>becomes paranoid schizomany such cases.
