No wonder they're scared, I've read the Bible, that god dude is a psychopath. That's when I realized there was no god, when I was like 14 and realized that I was more moral, living, intelligent and reasonable than this god character in the Bible. And if I'm better than god in every way, then he's weak and fake.
they're not scared of god. he loves them. Very much. So much, in fact, that if they don't do exactly what he says, he'll toss them in a pit of burning fire for the rest of eternity. What's there to fear?
Ye. If he is truly kind why does just watch children be abused and raped. Like he could prevent it but does not. Is he enjoying it?
or like, at the very least, tell his priests to knock it off. That he doesn't puts a whole different spin on "he loves all the little ones"
At least God's carbon footprint is a lot smaller than yours 🤔
Edit: I'm saying God's carbon footprint is nothing because he's imaginary.
Cant argue with that. Unless you count churches bibles etc as his carbon footprint
Based on the planes and everything the pastors at megachurches use your statement is incorrect
I hold them responsible for all their BS, not some imaginary being.
Fair enough.
You'd be surprised how much of capitalist industry is justified as God's will. Same with imperialism and jus bellam.
The forests burn in the fires of industry, and God favors king and capitalist.
Yeah I agree religion is often used to justify consolidation of wealth and power.
Meanwhile, I'm an atheist living my whole life in fear
This is the dark truth of naturalism, and one of the reasons I hoped for some kind of continuity (anything really) was because oblivion and insignificance is (for me at least) a far greater cosmic horror than being a slave / food for Great Cthulhu (Ia! 🐙🌊🌠) Being a figment of Azathoth's dream gets closer, but even then, the mind of God might notice me.
These days I'm an absurdist trying to make sense of the senslessness of the material. The cool thing is so long as I don't resort to the other options, I'm doing the thing, as crazy as it is.
Same. Cooooooooooooooomiseration bitches.
I have to add a counter-point as an athiest with a religious girlfriend. I'm absolutely terrified of death. For me, death is the end. For her though, it's nothing scary because she thinks she's going to some happy wonderland.
I had a magic mushroom trip over a decade ago that got rid of that. It was a strong enough trip that I dissociated from my ego (or whichever one has the sense of self) to the point where I could remember my life but had trouble relating to it. Experiencing consciousness without that emotional connection to who I was allowed me to accept the temporal nature of my current identity.
At death, there will either be an end to my consciousness but I won't know it, or there will be an end to my current me and my consciousness will continue on to do whatever. I hope for the second option, mainly because I'm still curious about a lot of things and hope that there's a chance to explore or just reset it all and start a new life with 0 knowledge, but both are ok.
Those are both very comforting concepts. I don't know if that's what you had intended but thank you.
How old are you? I used to ve terrified of death since i was a child. I used to lay in bed and think about the nothingness of being dead and all that. I'm 39 soon and the older i get the less i care. I'm not looking forward to it, but i understand how elderly people look forward to just being done with it.
Besides that, i doubt that she's going to "heaven" if you read the rulebook close enough.
I mean duh? Of course you have more to fear when you're younger. Getting older you cross more off your list and have less regrets. That ain't nothin new that's just life.
I’d be afraid too if I just kept molesting children and accusing other people of it
Do you think God stays in heaven because, he too, lives in fear of what he has created?
Eh It could go anyway tbh
Even as a pastor I find this hilarious and slightly accurate.
