the one you believe in is the real one
ffs are you that unfaithful and or degenerate? saged reported kill yourself

You don't. Jesus is the real one.

It's a legit question so I won't fedora meme you.

If you look at the similarities in mythology throughout the world. You'll notice a certain pattern

>Flood Myth

In Greek Mythology
In Chinese Mythology
In Native American Mythology
In African Mythology

The story is always at least similar, that the Gods and/or God sends a flood and a righteous man builds an ark with his family.

This story is even told by the Sumerians, the most ancient civilization recorded.

2,999 forms of human idealism,
Only one true absolute all encompassing totality of being.
Geeee Ricky, I guess there's just no way to discern…

You're too old for a v-neck, Ricky.

>there have been thousands of theories about why people get sick, so far only the germ theory actually is true
>the others are silly made-up nonsense.

There's this thing called faith

Did you know the Sumerians recorded the procession of the equinox as precisely as we see it today, yet we can only tell because we have the tech to look back thousands of years. How could the Sumerians unless they've been around for 2,000 years prior to their records know of this procession?

what if its like meme magic, kek exists because we will it into existence?!

...

You don't need religion to believe in a higher power dip shit.

I guess it's part of having faith boy

Germ theory had been proved by science.

Don't try and decpher, know. You are the mover and that which is moved. You and everything around you, all the stuff and emptiness, is god. Welcome to divinity.

>3000 gods
>not different manifestations of one being

I too remember having a child's conception of God.

in the middle ages it was accepted science that babies grew from fish in the mother's womb, but your science is the real science...so smart and enlightened

In islam we actually have similar to this, look up "scientific miracles in the Quran".

In reality it's more of scholars stretching the meaning of verses to match with recent scientific discovers.

i think i have become a meme magician

>see somebody i hate eating a bowl of cereal
>resist the urge to dump it on him
>sit down
>3 minutes later
>he spills it on himself
>mfw

Are you honestly trying to use science and fact as an reason to justify the existance of deities?

Or are you being ironic?

Leviticus 13:45
covering ones nose & mouth when sick gives support to the idea that they knew about germ theory back then.

I don't know, maybe they've had records from 2,000 years prior?

Boy they sure do play around with them verses as time progresses to make it match science don't they.

biblehub.com/isaiah/40-22.htm

what's equinox?

Nice cherry picking, Bible suggests the Earth is flat though, see answering-christianity.com/earth_flat.htm. One true religion is Ásatrú you degenerate.

Both of these are possible.

The "Science Then" column is full fucking retard.

study and compare them? most people don't do this. most gods are superpowered humans/animals. abrahamic religions basically say god is the creator of the universe/unlike anything you can imagine.

FTFY

>mfw filename

I don't honestly really care 2bh, been an atheist for so long I stopped giving a shit about deities a long time ago.

But some of them are certified bullshit.

>meme magic
holy shit it all makes sense now

>there were ice giants but some old guy with one eye killed them :^)
>UH THE ONE EYE IS SYMBOLIC OF A BLACK HOLE AND IT MEANS IT JUST CONTAINED DARK MATTER
it's a primitive and mostly incorrect form of science/philosophy/theorizing

>the story is even told by the sumerians
that's because they invented it and passed it down to other generations and civilizations. with the deluge they also had myths of kings reigning for over 10,000 years. the children of adam were said to have lived for ~1000 years. do you believe that as well?

the one you believe in rather the one you are told to believe in

can fedoras please stop conflating faith with religion? these sort of threads don't go anywhere past the shit flinging stage because of your intellectual dishonesty

>he upset my belief in an imaginary friend
did God create the parasites that burrow into a starving African babies eyes too?

or maybe some gods/god have many different names, Ricky is a twat

yes? and it's possible to stop that from happening with medicine/doctors/technology

>still not understanding why bad things happen
a symptom of being young. you can't appreciate good things without anything bad happening, you'll just take it for granted and want more and more for selfish reasons.

[spoiler]instead of using science, technology, supercomputers, etc. to bring people back from the dead and become immortal[/spoiler]

You got that from how Marvel depicts the Notes Gods, to be fair.

I'm sure the dead raped little girls at the hands of the likes of the Moors murderers who begged for Gods help before having their vagina smashed and throat slit are very appreciative now.
Dummy.

Threads about god will have over 300 posts from mostly americans.
Threads about politics not involving trump will get around 10 before being archived.

When did you realise americans are the cancer??

Here's the thing:

Kek is the meme god.
But as we all know, all religions are just memes.
Therefore, Kek is the ultimate, true deity, god of gods.

I've got a lot of love for Ricky Gervais, this badass picture here first set me off on questioning my Christian upbringing.

Atheist for 6 years, AMA

How hardcore christian was your parents?
Also, what did they say when they found out you'd been hiding a fedora in the sockdrawer "for a friend"?

>we shouldn't have free will because some people do bad things
mental gymnastics, but this is Sup Forums so that's not surprising

>How hardcore christian was your parents?

Dad is the type to either just ignore or politely nod when I talk about atheism, mum is the type to start screaming.

>found out you'd been hiding a fedora in the sockdrawer

When I told them I was an atheist and no longer going to church mum wanted to kick me out but dad just made me start paying rent

Men love to come up with idols and that is why there are "3000 gods". Their sole purpose is to make man fall away from God. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.

Niggerica is full of retards with underage minds and, of course nigs, poos, muds, chinks and spics.

Do you really come here for the discussion of politics?
I come here for the keks, that's all

Humanity since it came into existence has been coming up with different concepts of gods, yet you still deny the existence of divine. Why are you an atheist? Maybe you should pick one god instead?

Ive had a power like this with music since I was a kid.

>listening to shuffle on mp3 player.
>think of a perfect song for the moment.
>click the next button a few times.
>song i was thinking of plays.
>playlist is in the 2500 region.
>1/2500 chance of this happening and if still works.

It happens so often that im starting to think my thoughts are affecting an electronic device.

or maybe all the "myths" contain a story about a great flood, because there was actually a great flood

>They invented it

The Sumerians traveled all the way to North America within the span of 50 years and told them about it?

>165057 ▶
> (You)
>or maybe all the "myths" contain a story about a great flood, because there was actually a great flood

Yes that was what I was getting at.

>Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
isn't it idolatry to believe that crosses/statues of jesus have magical powers like most christians do?

i'll put my money on there was a great flood at some point in earths history

very funny

Faith is dishonesty and bullshit. It's laughed out of any serious discussion.

No I never said that, I question Gods so called power and loving nature because of such events.
Lets hope the little girl accepted Jesus otherwise she will be burning in eternal hell fire, and if her dad cant take the pain of what happens and commits suicide he will be sent into the fires for infinite gnashing and torture of teeth too.

Free will can exist without bad things happening.
If you walk past a homeless person and you choose to give him either 1 or 5 $, which is the evil choice?
And what sock did you put on first this morning? Which sock is the bad choice?

>inb4 but taking away our possibility to do evil is aking away our free will.
Nope.
Can you do a unassisted one-legged jump across the english channel?
No?
Why is that? Is it because you free will to do so is being withheld by a supernatural force, or is it because it's just a physical impossibility?
Your ebility to jump across the english channel is obviously not a violation of your free will. It's simply that humans is unable to make such a jump.

And if god wasn't such a faggot, he'd be able to create a world where our free will to do evil was the same as our free will to jump the channel. Simply impossible.

I think Sup Forums is relatively red-pilled sometimes, until I see the number of religi-woo-woos in threads like this.
There's no immortal sky-father, you fucking autists. Turn your back on reality and advertise your blithe stupidity with grade-school memes as much as you like.

It won't change a thing.

So what you guys are saying is that the ancient Sumerian religion is the right one and all the others just borrowed garbled echoes of it? Got it. Praise Inanna!

Atheist put a lot of faith in things they don't really understand and that they could never verify or experience for themselves.

you dont

you are desperately dependent on faith, whether you acknowledge it or not.

I'll give you an example: you have unshakable faith in the law of induction. That is, you have faith that since 2+2=4 last time you checked, it will be 4 next time you try as well. Can you justify this belief without resorting to pure, blind faith?

Except the Bible doesn't say other Gods don't exist.
It simply states that all the other Gods are false Gods and shouldn't be worshiped.

...

There is only one God. His name doesn't matter. Most religions will admit God has many faces, many voices. Each religion hears the voice and sees the face they choose.

the mayans weren't thriving until 4000 years after the sumerians, plenty of time for some wetbacks to get lost and wander into central america.

sounds pretty reasonable

the red pill is recognizing that everything comes full circle.
first, the red pill was atheism. Then, the REAL red pill was theism.
There's always one more level than you think.

that's actually pretty spot on

Most religions are false. Any religion that denies Jesus Christ is the Son, that He died on the cross for our salvation and that He rose to Heaven and will return is a false religion - just like Islam.

I can't believe babbies still think the world would be better off without evil.
You really want everyone to just sit around and be happy and make art and fuck each other all day?
Sounds really shitty imo.
Not being sarcastic here. I'm honestly bewildered that people think a world without hatred, bigotry, or evil would be preferable to our own.

Here's a thought: what if god tried making a world like that first, but it sucked so much that he destroyed it?
And then he made a world where only bad things happened, but that sucked too, so he destroyed it again? (Maybe with a flood?)
And then he made something in the middle, and so far, so good?

...

That's not faith, that's logic and reasonable expectations. Also, we're discussing faith in the religious definition which is as I stated.

Try again.

just calling things with the wrong name doesnt make your retarded argument right man.
Just say you want to believe in a god, nothing wrong with it, unlike the fedoras says. Just dont do such mental gymnastics to justify it, because in that case it looks like you're insecure about it

lol. How does it feel to be so blind to your own axioms?
When you say "logic," you're referring to a bunch of arbitrary rules that people worked a long time ago. They do a pretty good job of making sense of the world, but they're still arbitrary.

"Faith in the religious definition" is no different than any other type of faith: a belief not grounded in reason. Clearly, reason can't be grounded in itself. So reason is a form of faith!

>You really want everyone to just sit around and be happy and make art and fuck each other all day?

Because you sit in a comfy home where nothing happens anyways.
Do you think your opinion was shared by something like the holocaust jews?

>Here's a thought: what if god tried making a world like that first, but it sucked so much that he destroyed it?
Sucked?
What would a god mean by a world "that sucks"?
If there is a god that gives a fuck about humans, this god is a total dick that lets us suffer for either his pleasure or his neglect of us. Definatly not someone I'm willing to go to church once a week for.

And for the rest of that bottom segment argument you had there:
What is that other than pure speculation? You are just making shit up on the fly because you'd imagine it would make up a nice explonation, didn't you? There is nothing to suggest any past earths that came and went.

everytime the science thing in the quran, show us nigger and makke us laugh

yea but then wouldn't that leave some kind of indelible mark? and how big was this flood? if it was enough to cover all land on earth than wouldnt that require more water than what is already on the earth? where did this water come from?

If you aren't a brit expat, I have to ask;

Will you be killed depending on the answer you pick?

There is no way, which is why I frown on religions playing the moral superiority card (though I do not doubt some religions and modalities are better than others). Even the vague spirituality I posess is tainted by abrahamic belief systems, because its what I grew up with.

I don't begrudge religion, but it doesn't have the right to be as self important as it is.

there was even quaratine, and the people not so long ago died of black death while this all could have been prevented by reading levicitus

Im gonna prove god and tell this guy to eat shit

Hillary is god

If you look at the biggest religious groups, your belief must be founded in a desert to be respected.

if you're not insecure about your beliefs, your beliefs aren't interesting enough.

you're right, I got carried away at the end there. I'm not even remotely Christian, it was just a fun idea.

>If there is a god that gives a fuck about humans, this god is a total dick that lets us suffer
Don't take it so personally. It's just a game. It's just a ride. And the whole reason it's fun is that we think it's real. We think it's deadly serious, but it's all just a joke.
When we suffer, god is suffering too. But god knows that there can be no happiness without suffering.
Pantheism is the true red pill.

very this

true aryan

Its stupid anyway, water "washing away" filth is an almost universal metaphor. That's all it is, but literalists are retards.

aryan hillary

how much aryan?

THIS

10?

full master blood race

THIS

More full blooded than drumpf kek

some level of uncertanty is an inherent part of a belief, by definition.
but trying to justify your belief by bringing others down and trying to equate science to it is just mental gymnastics

>this

only true master race aryan alphas will vote for hillary

agreed
