this is probably the last spot on the internet I'd expect to find a christian. you're literally looking at sluts and dicks 90% of the time.

I took some fly agaric and mourned my own death. Twice. Realized religion is a scam. Became atheist satanist

I’m curious on how the thread will devolve

My reason is pretty simple
Spend my life believing and be a better person- if I’m wrong I’ve lost nothing.
Spend my life not believing and I’m wrong, I’ve wasted eternity.

More people need to realize this

I was shown a sign.

Sure, sounds fake as shit, but I saw what I saw.

It’s my form of non aggressive evangelism.

>Better person
>On Sup Forums
What a fucking retard. U are literally on a porn board calling yourself a good person cuz your a Christian..wtf

I decided I wanted to be a good person so I quit being a Christian. Christians and Muslims. The two worst religions on the planet and the ones most in need of having all their followers wiped out for the betterment of the world.

Yes, because Pascal's Wager is totally a convincing argument, and not the most frequently and easily demolished triviality in history.

What if its the wrong religion though

What makes your religion so special out of the thousands of them?

It's Pascal's wager theory.

So far, we've got hallucinations and faulty logic as the only reasons to be religious. Sounds legit.

don't forget alcohol

All jokes aside, there is obviously a creator. The law of conservation of mass states that "energy (matter) cannot be created or destroyed in this universe." Meaning, all energy that is here, came from somewhere else. Whatever/whoever moved that material to our plain of existence, so our God.

There is not obviously a creator. I can be just as obvious that there is no creator. Faulty fucked up religious logic as usual.

Your misunderstanding of basic science lends no credibility to your assertion that there must be a creator. It just makes you sound like a moron.

You didn’t even try to disprove what he said

There is nothing to disprove. Neither stance can be proved or disproved.

That’s fair

Where did energy come from if science says it doesnt belong here? Why can we not create or destroy energy?

More importantly: why do many of our greatest minds believe in some form of creator? Surely they are smarter than you and I, shouldnt we listen to them?

All word games. Not one verifiable fact in all you've posted. You have not and cannot provide anything that could be validated. Nothing. You can't just wish something into existence though religious folk for some stupid reason seem to think they can.

>Shouldn't we listen to them
So easily brainwashed...

>if I’m wrong I’ve lost nothing.
Religion uses tradition and superstition to stunt our social growth. No harm done...don't forget all the people that were burned at the stake or tortured for being "witches" or just the wrong religion. Don't think all that shit ended a hundred years ago. People in every country on earth still get accused of and tortured for all kinds of ridiculous shit for offending religious people every day. Quit being such a moron and start pulling your own weight intellectually.

But you can’t use that to put down some regular person who just uses religion to have faith in something. Most of that shit falls under the line of extremism

Yes we can. "Regular" people are some of the worst and most intolerant.

The religions that produce the most terrorists are Islam and Christianity. Some religions, like Baha'i, for instance produce zero terrorists. If the universe and the true religion were intentionally, intelligently designed by God then how could the true religion be one of the ones that produces the most terrorists? This is part of God's intelligent design? Really?

If you could ever fully know, it would not be true love. God is love, not science. It's why the demons can't partake of salvation. THEY KNOW!

God is a construct. Nothing more. Your comments only shows your ignorance and inability to think critically.

>regular person who just uses religion to have faith in something.
You're part of the institution that does the damage. And the institution, religion, makes no sense and is supported by no evidence.

Kids believe in Santa because it makes them feel good and does no harm . But, then they grow the fuck up and become adults who stop believing in fairy tales because it makes them look stupid.

Christian Terrorists? What part of love your neighbor and God dying for our sins produces Christian Terrorists? Holy Cow, I have never heard anybody but atheists and the Globalists controlled media and acidemia say that. Do tell, I'm all ears.

>Christian Terrorists
you don't have google?

We'll start with 3. Their's lots more. 1. Brenton Harrison Tarrant
The most obvious recent case is Brenton Harrison Tarrant. He’s been charged with a March 2019 attack in New Zealand, in which at least fifty Muslims were murdered during prayers, and detailed his reasonings in a manifesto. They include allusions to U.S. President Donald Trump (“a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose”), an intent to have a political effect, and his beliefs. He said the question of whether he is a Christian is ‘complicated,’ but also expressed unity with what he seemed to see as a Christian cause, quoting Pope Urban II’s call for crusades: “Let our lives be stronger than death to fight against the enemies of the Christian people.”

2. Robert Doggart
In April 2015, Robert Doggart, a one-time congressional candidate and self-proclaimed Christian minister, was arrested and charged for plotting to attack a mosque and school, and kill Muslims.The Gospel Herald shared Doggert’s own description of his intent, lauding his armor-piercing rounds and boasting a willingness to “cut ‘victims’ to shreds” with a machete.

3. Michael Frederick Griffin
In March 1993, during an anti-abortion protest, Michael Griffin shot Dr Daid Gunn, an abortion provider, three times in the back. According to Slate, he shouted, “Don’t kill any more babies!” and surrendered to police. He claimed to have been radicalized by pro-life activist John Burt, and later justified the murder, saying, “we’re all commanded to protect the innocent children.”

Your idea that you and everything around you is a bunch of molecules and atoms randomly bumping together, and all of known history of the supernatural is just a myth is going to make sense the second you die. Energy is NEVER created or destroyed, that includes your neurons and words spoken. It's design by your creator. BET ON IT!

becos I thought the stories told at religion class were amazing lol

Islam says lots of sweet shit about being a good nice person, and it also teaches intolerance, and muslims and christians use those religions as excuses to become terrorists all the time.

You are a dense one. You can offer no proof of your god. Nothing but words and faulty logic. You must be an evangelical. They're usually the really dense ones.

Soon the infidels will fall,deus vult

I became Christian at birth when I was born into a Baptist family. When I could read the bible I decided it was horseshit and stopped being one at about 10.

if God was real he would be discovered, and not invented. If God were not real he would be invented over and over, and never discovered. When you open your eyes and look around, which of these scenarios do you see happening?

Many come claiming to be Christian but none of that "Murder" has anything to do with Judo-Christian faith. You have heard of the Ten Commandments? Loving God and God loving us in the sacrifice outlined in history of the Christian faith says Kill your neighbor, quite the opposite. Those aren't followers of Christ you put forth.

They are the followers of "Christ" as were the crusaders, the witch burners and all the other atrocities committed over the ages by Christians. Christianity is just as violent as every other major religion.

There is a long ancient battle raging in the universe, it was started long before Abraham. I see why you demand proof but you won't get it. It's the you, inside you that must make the decision to reject God.

You grow tiresome. Put up or shut up.

The ancient battle played out in every known written text. It's all the ancients wrote about. It's the essence of life but veiled. It comes from the heart not a Large Hadron Collider.

Where in the Judeo-Christian bible does it say to do that? Unlike the Koran.

So, all those muslim terrorists aren't really muslim either because their religion also tells them to be nice. Good to know.

Tales of wandering goat herders is not proof.

Jesus put up. I have nothing.

>Energy is NEVER created or destroyed, that includes your neurons and words spoken. It's design by your creator. BET ON IT!

>I don't understand or like the answer. Therefore A WIZARD DID IT!

The old testament is replete with examples of violence visited on behalf of a so called god.

That's right. You have nothing. Your god is nothing more than a construct. Your religion is nothing more than the ramblings of a fanatical ascetic.

There religion tells them to kill every damn one of us.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that speak of war with nonbelievers, usually on the basis of their status as non-Muslims. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.

Just because someone isn't following christianity (according to you) doesn't mean they weren't inspired by their christian beliefs. The question was, how can God's true religion be one of the ones that inspires people to become terrorists?

i don't care what you identify as but how is the bible "horse shit" it's just a book

Christians are just as bad.

Only to kill and destroy what the old god's. "Demons" created before our creator stepped back in after Lucifers take over. Yes, God said kill all the Giants in Canaan because they are the offspring of demons.

Jesus never existed. Anyone who thinks he did needs to grow up.

There are no quotes to debate on how Christians are inspired to kill their neighbors.

A book, the contents of which are complete horse shit. I'm not saying the New Testament doesn't have some good moral stuff but the whole god thing? Nah

Which verse are you talking about?

Responding with fairy tales. By the way, Lucifer is also just a construct.

Plenty of proof Jesus existed. Look at your calendar.

> Satan take the wheel?

well then if the new testament has some good moral stuff it's not complete horse shit

Then good luck with us being just a bunch of atoms and molecules bumping around.

it is, just because your ok with being a looser, does not mean others are, or that you should be

Go back to r/exjw plz

I was a very pessimistic nihilist for a long period of my life, thinking that way nearly drove me insane.
At my lowest point I very nearly committed suicide via cop(probably would have done worse considering my mental state)

Shortly before I was planning on doing it I had a dream about my future Son(I'm not a father yet). The love I felt in that dream was the most meaningfull moment of my life up to that point. Woke up that morning and spent the whole day crying and contemplating my life. Not sure what made me consider going to church that Sunday(I hadnt been to church since I was a kid with my parents).

It so happened that redemption was the theme of the day that Sunday and for the first time since childhood I felt I had hope for a better future. Began reading scripture voraciously for a few months, found some compelling interpretations that put importance on self improvement, Honesty, and learning.

The Hebrew Bible and the New Testament contain narratives, poetry, and instruction describing, recording, encouraging, commanding, condemning, rewarding, punishing and regulating violent actions by God, individuals, groups, governments, and nation-states. Among the violent acts included are war, human sacrifice, animal sacrifice, murder, rape, and criminal punishment. Some Relevant sections: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy......and so on.

Lucifer did take the wheel,. The world belongs to him. Given to him by God after we chose him, Jesus gave us a way back.

At least I'm not running my life with a fairy tale.

to anyone trying to argue with atheists in this thread. they already believe in god, they just havent accepted it yet. their god may not be our god but still a god nevertheless.

I was an atheist for ten years. Darkest worst ten years of my life. I started going to bible classes to learn about Christianity from an anthropological perspective. Started reading the bible. Started going to church. Started praying. Now I am born again. Now my life is saved from the pit. Thanks be to God!

There is no Lucifer. It's a construct. Not real.

>I’m high
>I see things while high
>I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!

I challenge you to help you come up with a design?
Since we have seven people.

The ancients were trained in those early books in the ways they knew as God begin to set himself apart from the old gods. You are right. Salvation is the ultimate end to God's take back of the human race. I do get your point though.

It's unnecessary moral stuff. Without the bible we'd still have the same morals, as humans. Wrapping it all up in a god/Jesus shaped package is horse shit.

>Brenton Harrison Tarrant
refer to pic, he was also a mason, and your missing the point. the bible does not condone those actions. your ignoring the majority and only selecting outliers

LOL, Pascal's Wager works for EVERY god, though. Spend a lifetime praising Jesus, and if the Muslims are right, you'll wind up in hell anyway. :D

you cant have a wrong religion you fucking retard

Um, could I have some time before the movie starts.

To all arguing with the Christians in this thread, realize it's a lost cause. They are firm in their beliefs in their fairy tales and no amount of logic or persuasion is going to have any effect on them. They're just not bright enough.

But what should I do?

21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Jesus said that with faith you can perform miracles. Which means that if you can't perform miracles you lack faith and can't be a real Christian either.

Christian texts are just as violent as other religions. That's the point. Thinking they are anything other than stories by goat headers shows one inability to think critically.

Stop smoking dope, hippy, and you'll stop seeing devil dogs.

>crusaders
>as if they where bad
wew lad learn what your talking about before saying anything first
>witch burners
are you talking about the inquisition? you know them mass killing is just a meme right?

quoting the bible on Sup Forums is fucking tacky and pointless dude

Why did everyone in the bible talk in riddles? Fig trees, mountains, bollocks.

The Hebrew Bible and the New Testament contain narratives, poetry, and instruction describing, recording, encouraging, commanding, condemning, rewarding, punishing and regulating violent actions by God, individuals, groups, governments, and nation-states. Among the violent acts included are war, human sacrifice, animal sacrifice, murder, rape, and criminal punishment. Some Relevant sections: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy......and so on. Christian texts are just as violent as other religions and so are Christians.

Which God do I do this for? All of them? Because I'm pretty sure a lot of them are mutually exclusive.

Oh one of the really stupid ones just showed up. Obama was a Muslim too I'll bet.

It's because I have no logic and am a.horrible hypocrite. As long as my life's good, it means God is good. Nobody else's lives matters.
