Religion is not comprehensible in the human mind, because we cannot comprehend the idea of a perfect and supreme being, a God, but we can believe it in our heart, and that's the idea of faith.
Do not feed me crap and tell me what my limitations are. I know more of what I'm capable of than you.
Atheists... C'mon guys you are being childish. You like to believe that you know what you're talking about, but in reality, all of you guys act like kids with all these comments like "I once felt something, but it was gas"
Don't try and make us look childish. I'm being aggressive, yeah, because on the other thread "Atheism FTW" I'm taking another step (comical relief to be fair), but in the end the childish thing of religion is ignorance and the fact that you feel safe with an almighty awesome God >.>
That is childish, not saying it's a bad way of childish, there are certainly pro's, but it is NOT
THE
TRUTH
You can't really deny science. But to many, you can't deny religion. So you live with both. It's common sense.
The only difference is there is proof for Science, whereas trying to prove Religion (or asking someone else to) only results in an attempted speech made to confuse you, whereas really they do not know what they're talking about.
What if, assuming God is real, God is defined by the actions of his followers. Therefore, indifferent, cruel, ignorant, and with only sparks of compassion and kindness.
Makes sense, it can kind of be seen how he'd be forgiven for making this rubbish people call life.
Why's it bad?
Look what I've spent my time doing. :P
Sorry thread is open game. And considering just how easily it seems to be able to insult Christians, I've probably already done that here.
Happens for everything religious.
If you name a teddy Muhammad you face jail time, true story if I remember right.
Unless the punishment was worse.
But it is very dire, religious people get hurt so badly over their beliefs and I cannot believe they think they are just for being so soft (hell I'm not a "hard-kid" but I do know to stfu and take it).
Faith is, even though everything rides against me believing in Jesus, I still believe in him because I know that it's true in my heart.
So you feel it in your heart?
Bad idea. The heart is an involuntary and vital muscle, nothing more.
The brain, something some religious people (and myself) need to use a bit more is where things are directed from.
Mostly, anyway.
What do you possibly have to gain from it besides hopes for an afterlife? You said you grew up Atheist, are you just throwing away your beliefs in logic so you wont screw up any chance you have of going to heaven when you die? Like just in case it is all real you will be guaranteed into heaven?
So I'm just wondering why did you choose to start believing in him anyways? So you feel like you have a free pass for anything wrong you might do?
Sounds like cowardice to me.
If you throw away your belief under that basis, especially being a formerly logical person, I despise you, so, so much. I can see with many situations kids are born into a religious family and it is helplessly seeded into them, making an unbreakable will in the future, but if you grew up ATHEIST, then how can you not STAY ATHEIST?
With that, I will do 4 things:
1) Call BS on that story.
2) Call cowardice if said story is true.
3) Question your sanity and of course,
4) Question how you was actually raised.
Why for No.4? Because you don't seem to have been brought up logically, and that is a severe, stupid flaw, because Atheism (and Pantheism etc) is based on logical and scientific understanding. Saying what you believe happened (a big boom) without explanation (whilst we can't explain that part in particularly, but many others) is no better than religion.
No atheists and no insults please
I'm not an Atheist. I'm nothing, to my knowledge? Why? Because I developed my own character. And hell, I've mentioned videos that essentially contradict what I just said but self-awareness certainly makes the difference and dangit, I was making sure I done the right thing - it wasn't the case of logic etc, it was a simple case of having a reason (a good one) for everything I do.
