We got any religious brothermen?

[peckafacce]

There's a God, that's about as far as I am willing to go. I have an issue with "If you don't believe exactly this, your going to hell". All other religions are wrong, except for this one.

Yakubian cave dwellers were originally really into the whole life & death cycle, I bet ferals sculpt some weird furry OC inspired by whatever animal adopted them.

Tits n' ass is the one true God.

There was nothing worse than sleeping over a friends or cousins house on a Saturday night only to realize that they’re still church goers and they’d drag me to that shit the next morning. The stuff of nightmares.
My parents stopped taking me when I was like 10

Even as a kid, it was awful. On Saturday nights I'd stay up to watch wrestling, which at the time only aired at midnight on shitty Channel 9 (NYC). Then I'd have to wake up early on Sunday, put on my faggy church clothes and do the whole kneel/stand/sit routine.

The more I've studied our universe the more I believe in a "God" as It simply makes no sense.

Start with the big bang and then just keep asking the question "OK, what was before that" and so on...

I would love to be. I wish I had faith and respect those who do (as long as they're not shoving it down your throat.) Like someone else said, Christianity is the bedrock of Western civilisation and it's undeniable to any honest person that the decline of organised religion has led to a narcissistic and nihilistic society in many ways. It is hard to take the bible literally but perhaps it works best as allegorical lessons on moral and spiritual issues.

I was reading my 6 year old boy stories from a children's bible that I had as a kid the other night. I remembered the old testament stories being much more exciting and involving as a kid so I was reading him Noah's Ark. He's a pretty literal and logical little guy who is more into numbers than reading and loves earth science and machines etc but he was listening wide-eyed as I read about Noah building the boat and the flood. When I got to the part about the dove and dry land the book described Noah and his family building an altar, setting it on fire and roasting meat as a thank you to God.

Without missing a beat my son asked "where did they get meat?"

"They used one of the animals." I answered without thinking.

"But they were trying to save the animals," my son said. Then he thought for a second and added, "and there were only two of each so there would only be one of the animals left." He obviously doesn't know about reproduction yet but that would've been his next question if he did, of course.

I couldn't help but smile and conceded, "You're right Jack. There are some holes in this story."

Lucky I didn’t read him Cain and Abel. How did Cain procreate?

I'm a real Bible nerd, shit's really interesting to me. The Genesis compilers were four authors, and one was like the Brothers Grimm that went out looking for stories and included them all, so a lot of inconsistency comes from that. Noah bringing both 2 of every animal and 7 of every clean animal, Cain leaving and finding other people (the Jews originally said there were 72 gods who each made people, so Cain went to one of them), Adam and Eve are born together, but also Eve is made later from Adam's rib, etc. Noah didn't originally do the Ark, that was another guy, and reflected in later passages where Noah's only claim to fame is having invented wine to give men relief.

You would just ask the same thing about God, what caused him? And if you are fine with saying he had no cause you can say the same about the universe. As it is understood now, there was no time before the big bang, so it doesn't make sense to say whatever before time, or the universe has existed forever, and there is no before, the big bang was just the most recent manifestation of random particles coming together.

>I believe in God because I have faith in the word and my creator.

I'M GONNA SCIEEEEEENCE

Science of the universe is almost entirely theoretical and constantly changing and any new (((discovery))) does nothing to discount an omnipotent creator. The further humans probe into contemplating the cosmos, the more it's apparent it was never meant to be fully understood.

What we do know, is the Earth's distance to the Sun, it's angle to the Sun, it's unordinary large Moon, it's vast oceans all were a little too perfect to create life.

Not to mention the Moon is strangely hollow. There's been multiple instances of tests of impacts and it rings like a bell with shockwaves lasting for hours so it's not entirely unlikely it was put there and almost the entire ecosystem is linked to it as much as the Sun.

Jesus Christ is God. Every Jew is going to Hell for an eternity as are the mother mongrels. I look forward to meeting Hitler in the afterlife. As well as people like Tesla or Mozart and whatnot. This world is clearly waiting for the end of all things and not long for a worldwide purge of everything.

"You would just ask the same thing about God"

That's my point. "The chicken or the egg" paradox never ends as soon as one question is answered a new one is created.

"there is no before, the big bang was just the most recent manifestation of random particles coming together."

What created the particles? Where did they come from?

It's never ending and can't be understood. Like Tony said it's not to be understood by us.

I was raised Christian and when I started to question everything about the idea of "God" I hit a wall when it came to understanding the universe.

I threw my hands in the air and accepted that there is a greater power at work and If I'm lucky I'll get my answers in the next life.

I agree we can't understand it, we have the minds of apes, after all. But how would that lead you to say, "God"? It's just ignorance and hope. Best to say you don't know.

Cain got with his sister and they had enough kids to found a city.

Just say you mod r/Atheism and call it a day.

 

[Cyberatorquer]

I'm Muslim by the way. The Quran has a number of very beautiful verses, which are very quotable. I can recommend it as reading material for anybody interested in world history and religion.
The Old Testament has great lines as well, could be a nice bit quoting contextually appropriate bible verses. 99th Surah is my favorite.

And they called that city Milwaukee.

"Organized religion" has to be the most retarded term ever coined.

you're right until you realize in 90% of its contemporary usage it's a deceptive Jewish code for white Christian populations as a coherent political/social force

 

[Cuphead]

It's all bullshit, but atheists are even more insufferable than Christians.
