Name 3 bad things that happened to you that isn't your fault
Christopher Murphy
Because God engineered it that way. Don't you see, diseases, wars, and natural disasters serve as population balancers. Without them, how do you expect it to balance out?
Christian Ward
You have to learn to turn your emotions off. If you worry about every bad thing that happens to everyone in the world, you're only hurting yourself and not actually helping anyone.
You will go crazy if you do this.
Adam Powell
it's mostly what my parents did that affects me financially, you can't really stop other people who affect you financially.
John Baker
no, god is lazy-think
the nietzchean objection to modernity was for germans to use god as an excuse to do good not for the sake of god but because of god
god becomes the void of responsibilities, so that with your lack of responsibility you need god to support your weakness
in the olden days your weakness propels you towards god because a holy person is a morally perfect person so you do everything you can to overcome your weakness
Hunter Jones
God existing doesn't mean he has to intervene in people's lives.
Lucas Lewis
God is real, he just doesn't intervene. very lousy God i must say
Ayden Jones
So this is only vaguely on topic, but I seldom get a chance to discuss this:
What if God is not currently real, but could be real?
Only in this instance, what if all the creation myths were wrong, and instead of God creating man, man created God?
What if, through decades of labor and diligence, we created an information singularity, a supersentient AI, that could overcome all of human failings. And unlike all of the dystopian works where the AI proceeds to annihilate/enslave the human race (The Matrix, Terminator, "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream," etc) this omnipotent being could be benevolent.
With sufficiently-advanced technology it could, conceivably, do all of the miracles in the Bible:
Water into wine? Basic nucleosynthesis
Healing the sick? Sufficient genetic advancements could eliminate disease (and even death) all together
Loaves and fishes? See en.wikipedia.org
Life after death? Finding a way to decode/reencode a brain into a new vat-grown body
What if the AI (let's call him/her/it Sigma) guided our species with paternal affection, out of our short-sighted failings and into the stars? Think about it: all attempts at utopias, all attempts at empires, failed because of that which pertains to human nature. The weak link is humans; we're apes with big brains who inevitably succumb to human weakness.
What if the only answer is something that's not human, with none of our faults?

>he exists but there is literally no proof whatsoever
>he's real, but he just doesn't bother
This explanation always strikes me as pathetically lazy, and to a lesser extent cowardly. Like you either haven't given it much thought, or you're an atheist who's afraid to admit it
Matthew Watson
this is the setting for the foundation series by asimov
so you need a specific question
Dominic Parker
Faith doesnt require evidence you fedorafuck.
The whole idea of him is being an omniscient being that merely exists in the background, not directly involved in peoples lives.
Aiden Perez
anyway since it's setting nothing is ruined but basically the ai plays the role of passive guider
they only exist to people as a kind of conspiracy but it basically controls management of resources in the background behind bureaucracy
kind of like what the bletchley park did for brits during ww2 so that the ai is not jeopardized and people still think it is they who have control over their lives
it will propel us technologically but we are still petty greedy and selfish, safer more connected but like the nietzschean last man, lazier and lacking communal ambition, etc etc

conscious eternity floating around god is not "bliss" it's actually hell squared because you have only one emotion

I'm going to get banned (because fedora mods) so make sure to copy and save this post.
Truth does not fear investigation.
Austin Cruz
if god was real he wouldn't let me hate myself
Robert Mitchell
Life is cruel, OP and the universe does. not. fucking. care. I wish it did. I miss the comfort of belief every day. I wish there was some meaning, any meaning, other than whatever meaning (You) find meaningful, but it is what it is.
I think the sooner we as a people realize this, and admit that the world we are in RIGHT NOW (rather than the next one) is the one that actually matters, then we can move on as a people. But as long as people think that it's "God's will," or "karma," or "destiny," and not you and everyone around you, shit will continue to happen.
The only way forward is to realize that there is no all-powerful being who can save us. All we have is each other, whether we like it or not.
Liam Cruz
hmm really made me think
Jordan Brooks
>Faith doesnt require evidence you fedorafuck.
That's the root of the problem. You can believe anything you want based on nothing other than the coincidence that your parents introduced the idea to you, and you don't question it at all. It's sad, but at the same time I'm envious because life was so much easier that way.
But I'm sure you mock other beliefs that are just plain SILLY to you
>72 virgins lmao
>chemtrails lmao
>pineapple belongs on pizza lmao
without seeing the hypocrisy
Jonathan Johnson
>72 virgins
I don't mock it, they're just our enemy who must be eradicated ultimately(once the Jew is dealt with).
>Chemtrails
That's something in the material world, which can be proven / disproven.
>pineapple belongs on pizza
That's a subjective opinion in the material world and is a matter of taste. Irrelevant.
You might be confusing the material world and the spiritual world.
Hudson Watson
>why do so many bad things always have to happen?
so you can git gud
Sebastian Murphy
what? lol, this is bullshit. there are thousands of religions.
Owen Parker
>they're [the people whose imaginary friend differs from mine] just our enemy who must be eradicated ultimately
he said without a trace of irony
>You might be confusing the material world and the spiritual world
So because it's in this construct called "the spiritual world" it doesn't require any evidence to justify it's existence? Do you question anything you're told, or do you just run with it?
Colton Fisher
animals like you have no god
Nathan Martinez
What requires irony here? Man is a creature of War and War is synonymous with man.
Caleb Allen
it's not
we may be capable of it it doesn't mean that's what define us
chimps are also capable of tribal warfare
are chimps creatures of war?, or are ants and bees, are beers creature of war?
is ant the synonym of war?
Elijah Hall
Have you ever listened or read about Deism?
Asher Parker
>Man has been at war for thousands of years since his creation
>Now, because we have the gift of machinery and technology it will somehow stop and completely go against Man's nature
Really makes me think
Levi Allen
If God existed it would be necessary to destroy him

I have actually, most of my country's founding fathers were Deists. That was what I think about the idea

Faithless people have nothing to live for. That's why they're so depressed.

To test your worthiness of His Heaven. You have to earn it. Patience is virtue. You can't earn gold without hard work. You can earn fit body without hard work. He knows your limit.

God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill with a magnifying glass, and I’m the ant. He could fix my life in 5 minutes if he wanted to, but he’d rather burn off my feelers and watch me squirm.
