Why believe in a god?The biggest argument I heard growing up was an appeal to authority, which was retarded because everyone that said it was retarded. Especially all authority figures
>>84594339>which was retarded because everyone that said it was retardedYeah, uhhhh...Why can't they just say that God is a reflection of goodness in humanity and Satan is the bad? It doesn't say they don't exist. It says they DO but within us, just like the Bible says.
I liked Anaximander's theory of God which was Apeiron and it exists as a consciousness that recycles matter in space. It is extremely ahead of its time, it's almost too ahead of our time also.People just don't think like that, let alone an ancient Greek philosopher.
>>84594339Don't, nobody is forcing you
>>84594339I swear athiests are some of the biggest midwits.
Believing in God is silly. That's like saying you believe in water. He does exist, regardless of your beliefs, simple as That being said, religion is for cucks
>>84594379Plenty of room in hell for them
>>84594339It simply makes way more sense to me than anything an agnostic can muster. Like oh yeah we just exist within a world and we're going to discover more precise laws of physics until the universe ends and everyone is dead. That's retarded. It makes way more sense for you to be born for a good reason as life has an inherent meaning attached to the laws of nature which were clearly created. The catholic church shows me the best and most convincing reasons through the word of God.
>>84594424there's no way we evolved from apes. I'm not even religious and I refuse to believe that.
God does exist, there's no other logical conclusion to the universe. But I refuse to mingle with retards who say "we're all sinners the same way :)". No, while I'm not perfect, you're delusional to compare me to whores and criminals
>>84594386I do believe in water. It's two gasses, put together to make a liquid. Doing that is impossibe for mere mortals. Which is funny because It's the same thing my asshole does, but I wouldn't drink that if I were you
>>84594481Based and I agree.We are all flawed but not all equally sinful.
>>84594481The difference between you and a whore is one is born in a hospital and the other a brothel
>>84594573wow you're a regular St John
>>84594587Your sarcasm reinforces my point. Had you been born in a brothel your sarcasm would have been less refined and more crudeYou likely would be sucking dick instead of posting on the internet
Wish I had the lack of self-respect to have an imaginary friend as an adult.
>>84594728>friendYour father isn't your friend
>>84594751Says more about you than me.
>>84594761Did you go to middle school with your father or something? Pass the GED at the same time too?
>>84594805Just stop, you've already humiliated yourself lmao
>>84594845Did you learn how to argue while in middle school with your father? Shouldn't you two be in class right now?
>>84594881>continues humiliating himself Poor father-son relationship behaviour lmao
>continues projectingWhat causes someone to stay mad at themselves and bump threads?
>>84594339I won't completely rule out the idea of god, but until I see concrete proof, the best I can believe in is a sort of super-consciousness that governs the world in a mechanistic way
>>84594925>that governs the world in a mechanistic wayWater H2O is two gasses put together to make a liquid. Yeah sure, we are taught about the periodic table and chemical reactions, but a lot of shit had to line up perfectly so that water could even exist on this planet. I heard that from some 1970s physicist and it has echoed in my mind all night.
>>84594919>snarking because you owned yourselfYou definitely have issues maintaining eye contact. >projectingYou literally think people can't be friends with their dads and pointing this out rattled.Again, you've completely humiliated yourself, now you're terrified of even replying to me. Just close the thread lol, try again some other time.
You can do what ever you want to do with him, but he should be a good father first. If he didn't do that then he failed you. That would mean you are indirectly a failure because you are his creation and thus his failure
That's just the way it is, that's why faith was so important, even though Jesus did miracles he kept it hush hush. The need for faith is just a part of the thing for whatever reason, having faith is moral or something. I guess there is evidence that sodom and ghemora happened, burned earth, things like that. Just at some point you start understanding Christianity and look back on your edgy atheist phase as foolish and harmful. Most truth is hidden.
Like Jesus said an evil generation seeks after a sign, but all they'll get is the sign of Jonah, and like noahs ark he built it for 120 years preaching that there would be a flood and nobody believed, that's how jesus's return will be, it's just a hidden truth.
>>84595114So you can be friends with your Father.I accept your concession.
>>84595212You can be friends with your wife. But she's your wife first and foremost. Tard
>>84595184>>84595199Good fucking posts. Saving them as my own
>>84595286Whos talking about wives? I was explicit.You definitely have issues maintaining eye contact.
>>84594339And I have no doubt the most common form is a single line in which a person has to make the same decision as the person to be a part in a society of the same kind and that person has no idea how the same thing happened in other cultures in different cultures have a similar situation and that is why I have not seen it is the way that we have been doing this in our history as well and we are very proud to have seen that we are in a different society in our country than in our own history so we have been living and I am not in the world as much of the world and we have to do a little more of the world but we are not a lot more of the world to do a bit more of the world we have a little
I don't believe in god the same way I don't believe in the flying spaghetti monster.A tired meme, but one that holds true.
>>84595357Everything has already happened. Everything will also happen againNothing is new under the sun
>>84595706>A tired meme, but one that holds true.But you believe in the meme?
>>84595706>flying spaghetti monster>spider man>1000 gods minus oneI'm not even christian, but I cringe so hard when any of those are mentioned. Utter lack of comprehension of what the word "God" even means
>>84595802>Utter lack of comprehension of what the word "God" even meansGo on, use your words.
>>84594379Not an argument but Otay
>>84595917The foundation of the universe and it's intelligent designer
>>84596447Yeah the flying spaghetti monster did it.
>>84596533How long jave people been talking about the flying speghetti monster and how long have people been saying the jesus gave his life for you?Do you believe that those two things are equal? Or do you think that when you say a joke that your thoughts didn't immediately think of something stupid, but you said something stupid anyways
>>84596701>How long jave people been talking about the flying speghetti monster and how long have people been saying the jesus gave his life for you?I don't think a bunch of sand-peoples fables are any more or any less valid than claims of a flying spaghetti monster.>Do you believe that those two things are equal?Yes, that's the point. Keep up.
>>84596740Why are they equal to you?
>>84596761Both claims are equally ridiculous. Any claim you attribute to god I can just as easily ascribe to the flying spaghetti monster.
>>84596785Why do you say they are equal?Get to the point, because i dont have all day
>>84596860I've literally given you two reasons, you simply have no retort.
>>84596868Are you afraid of repeating yourself?
>>84594339>Why believe in a god?You want to pretend there's purpose in a universe ruled by chaos and entropy.You want to imagine there's some authority doling out justice who rewards the nice and punishes the mean.#1 reason: someone told you about a god when you were little and it infected your brain when you were powerless to challenge the notion and/or they threatened you with super-torture if you didn't believe.
>>84596903>I don't think a bunch of sand-peoples fables are any more or any less valid than claims of a flying spaghetti monster.>Both claims are equally ridiculous. Any claim you attribute to god I can just as easily ascribe to the flying spaghetti monster.No, but you have demonstrated you are terrified of giving a counter-argument.
>>84596977You have no argument and sound like an edgy atheist teenager. But let me help you out, instead of flying spaghetti monster a better analogy would be a fictional character from a story let's say guts from berserk.
>>84596977>counter-argument.Don't need one. Why would I want one?You think pastafarianism is equal to any other religion. That's like saying raw pork is the same as cooked pork. Your response will confirm this observation
>>84597057>You have no argument and sound like an edgy atheist teenager.I do, you simply have no retort. I accept your concession.>instead of flying spaghetti monster a better analogy would be a fictional character from a story let's say guts from berserk.Why?
>>84597071>Don't need one.You do, otherwise I accept your concession.
>>84597072Not the anon you're responding to and you're a bath faith nigger. I hope you get help and no I don't mean through religion.
>>84597057>guts from berserk.Does that make griffith evil or just a slave to evil? Is gutz a savior to others or just for himselfI only watched the anime
>>84597087Not an argument, I accept your concession.
