Atheism

Atheist: "Hi....let me explain some facts to you: anybody who believes in a supreme being is a moron because there's no such thing...duh...clever peple know chaos is king and that our lives are ruled by chance...so everything is subjective...and there's no such thing as 'normal'...therefore you can be whatever you want to be...it's the law of the jungle down here...survival of the fittest...creation is a myth...nothing is planned...the only thing guaranteed in life is death...we're no different to animals...trust me...I'm an atheist...I'm scientific...I'm factual...got it? Now go live your life how you're meant to live it...in a random and chaotic manner...just like I do..and be proud of yourself while you do it!"

Play Nice

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player stole my mob"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player scammed me"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player is spamming the chat channel"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player is speed hacking"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player is selling in-game items for real money"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player nijna looted the item I won in a roll"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player trained me"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player stole my camp"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player called me the n word"

Atheist: "dear gamemaster god, a player told me there's no such thing as atheism and that I'm either deluded or just pretending to be an atheist"

Fun Fact: On Reddit, their rules allow you to use bigoted insults against white men or Christians because they consider them a "majority audience" and therefore, not protected by rules.

Even the Reddit users had a problem with this and they're super woke.

Being an aethiest without a big book of ethics and a humanitarian code guiding your principles is a dumb dumb move.

Fact is the 10 commandments cover everything and worshiping government over G-d is just a fast way to hell.

Man is ultimately too flawed and corrupt to govern himself and without a host of angels and devils watching over us and left to our own devices we are completely doomed. The at best for an aethiest then would be to create G-d and then Satan. Hopefully this helps or makes some sense. :o

No atheist should be walking around with conviction that they are right. Atheism is a belief with the same exact amount of evidence as theism, so epistemologically it's just as much of a joke. Beliefs like that are okay to have but not okay to force on other people.

However the GM-God connection is pretty braindead.

Christianity is the only religion that is socially acceptable to mock

The real question is, will this go away if Christians became a super minority?

The answer is no, leftist atheists would have literally no other religion they could mock and also they cannot function without thinking themselves at the bottom of a some social oppression structure

There's more evidence for the existence of God than there is evidence for the non-existence of God.

Evidence for the existence of God*: you, and everything around you

Evidence for the non-existence of God:

The problem with atheism is that it's got a peverse definition of who and what God is and so does religion so you are right that religion and atheism are one and the same because they both promote death thus distort the image of God.

Religion's are different path ways to God if followed properly , comprehending our existence to sooth your mind and soul.

Are they for everyone ? no , and neither is heaven. Which can be interpreted as a mind state rather than a physical place.

Most people just don't want the accountability for their actions and thoughts, and the responsibility for their role on this planet. Influence is the greatest power. Shame and ego can keep people from this also. It can be scary for most once the truth is seen.

You can be intellectually lazy and a coward, aka athiest. But that's your choice and is ok, just realize when you "do what you want" that means others can "do what they want" to you, so don't complain.

If you don't know the answers , you haven't asked the right questions. Finding nirvana is reserved for those who have done and continue to do the work.

I'm glad you feel a responsibility to do good on this Earth, yet interpret good as disparaging an entire class of perfectly fine people who just happen to disagree with your beliefs. Yea, I bet you're a great person, carrying around that much hate. Atheists are cowards, yet they get through life without depending on religion to "soothe their mind and soul". Who is the real coward? They rejected God in a society that overwhelmingly accepts God, and tries to condition them to accept God. Who is really intellectually lazy?

I'm not exactly an atheist, more agnostic, but we all have accountability for our thoughts and actions in this life. Jesus' (really actually Greek cynics') golden rule is inherent in nature, if you have the wisdom to see it. The thing is, people who are truly good, are good because that's who they are or what they choose to be, not because they're afraid God is going to put them in spooky jail when they die.

I dunno, considering the infiniteness and vastness of space there is a decent chance another species not only existed but happened to evolve in a way over the last 10 billion-ish years that would make them seem like supreme beings to us. And the only reason we have no evidence of that is they either saw us as too insignificant or did not notice us as all

Technology would look a lot like magic sky fairies to those who don’t understand it, including us

Not saying God is aliens though, but saying I’m SURE there’s no supreme being that can create life out of nothing (or what we perceive as nothing) seems like a really courageous thought

Not the same thing. You're say politics is a religion. You're saying if they kill someone, they did it because of "atheism"? Not because they state wanted you to die then sent someone to kill you.

13. Now We consider another abundant source of the evils with which the Church is afflicted at present: indifferentism. This perverse opinion is spread on all sides by the fraud of the wicked who claim that it is possible to obtain the eternal salvation of the soul by the profession of any kind of religion, as long as morality is maintained. Surely, in so clear a matter, you will drive this deadly error far from the people committed to your care. With the admonition of the apostle that “there is one God, one faith, one baptism”[16] may those fear who contrive the notion that the safe harbor of salvation is open to persons of any religion whatever. They should consider the testimony of Christ Himself that “those who are not with Christ are against Him,”[17] and that they disperse unhappily who do not gather with Him. Therefore “without a doubt, they will perish forever, unless they hold the Catholic faith whole and inviolate.”[18] Let them hear Jerome who, while the Church was torn into three parts by schism, tells us that whenever someone tried to persuade him to join his group he always exclaimed: “He who is for the See of Peter is for me.”[19] A schismatic flatters himself falsely if he asserts that he, too, has been washed in the waters of regeneration. Indeed Augustine would reply to such a man: “The branch has the same form when it has been cut off from the vine; but of what profit for it is the form, if it does not live from the root?”[20]

This perverse opinion is spread on all sides by the fraud of the wicked who claim that it is possible to obtain the eternal salvation of the soul by the profession of any kind of religion, as long as morality is maintained.

14. This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. “But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error,” as Augustine was wont to say.[21] When all restraints are removed by which men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already inclined to evil, propels them to ruin. Then truly “the bottomless pit”[22] is open from which John saw smoke ascending which obscured the sun, and out of which locusts flew forth to devastate the earth. Thence comes transformation of minds, corruption of youths, contempt of sacred things and holy laws — in other words, a pestilence more deadly to the state than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free speech, and desire for novelty.

The cultural revolution was a jihad in the name of a secular ideology, literally attacking all religions, the intelligentsia, capitalists, bourgeoisie, etc, to impose a non-religious (secular) ideology. They had a clearly defined position of state atheism, which they maintain to this day.

Our prefrontal cortexes are hard-wired with abstract, symbolic constructions of laws, culture, behavior, philosophy, etc, by the time we reach adulthood. In some people, those are religious laws/behaviors (culture), and in others, it's a culture stemming from a more secular philosophy.

So I think the more accurate statement would be: Human nature seems to have an inherent need for lawful or systematic thinking in line with their learned culture.

I never said just any religion would do. Or that straying from religion would be good. Or that having no religion was ok. In fact bending the rules of a particular religion to suit yourself is blasphemous as well.

Yes I agree with your quotations. This is certainly the downfall of our times.

I don't know how to phrase my original assertion better.

It's very important to have a strong practice. And religion is the key to salvation. Particularly for the masses. There are very few exceptions.

Imho. The purpose of religion is to aid and bring those who are low and devoid of spirit up and into G-ds path. Without religion the vast majority are without hope of salvation in this lifetime.

Judaism is the best place to start. Try the Mormons if you need something a bit less esoteric and something more grounded and structured. And try Catholicism if you need something pragmatic, straight forward, and mercantile. They'll all eventually get you going down the right road.

Do not recommend the vast majority of protestant or Baptist faiths. My experience is they are the most easily infiltrated by devils. Not to say they are entirely invalid. Just buyer beware. :cool:

I'm quite serious.

Also yes. Your quotes are a strong argument for Catholicism in mine eyes. I will reconsider.

Well the irony is that conspicuously religious-sounding ideas come out of the mouths of people who fancy themselves highly educated and secular unlike those old fashioned knuckle-dragging christians and jews and muslims and their wacky sky god.

I mean what is the difference between the concept of a "soul" and a "gender identity"? The phrase "born in the wrong body" sounds just as metaphysical as the concept of the resurrection. White privilege is the new original sin, there are certain incantations you're expected to recite even when all available data disproves them. "Cops are hunting down black people" is just kind of accepted as true. You can easily get lots of approving nods from libs if you say that, despite the fact it is utterly not true. It's considered impolite to point out that it's nonsense, much like it's considered impolite to poke and prod at the beliefs of a devout christian. Even alot of the covid shit became some kind of peganistic cult on the left, where mask wearing and rigid adherence to only certain authorities became a kind of purity test.

It's hardly limited to the left though- I've never been a big trump guy and I'll freely admit some of his most ardent fans border on religious worship. Still, the most egregious examples in modern times seem to come from people who ordinarily sneer at religion and consider themselves hyper-rational and enlightened.

Literally cant have a "holy war" or jihad in the name of something not holy or inspired by divinity.

Its just slaughter.

The ideology of "there is nothing divine in government" does not mean "kill everyone" under any circumstance.

How do you make that leap? "This church is not divine" then what? If someone in uniform says "burn it down" thats called state sponsored terrorism.

At the worst, secularism would mean churches have to pay taxes. Thats the extent of what it means to remove all "holy" stuff from government. Anything past that, not secularism.

Sectarianism is what you're looking for. You can be a zealot for the state.

Literally cant have a "holy war" or jihad in the name of something not holy or inspired by divinity.

If that's the case, then your original statement:

Never seen a jihad in the name of secularism.

was utterly meaningless.

"Never seen a jihad in the name of a group of people who are incapable of jihad".

I took it in the only possible way it could be applied-- a secular group of people literally slaughtering those of all religions to impose state atheism. A secular war against religion.

It's a trite and stupid discussion anyway.

One of the most controversial aspects of the Reign of Terror was the dechristianization campaign. (https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/modern-history/mod-terror-reading/)

This was a series of measures designed to eradicate Christianity from France. Churches were closed, religious symbols were destroyed, and priests were forced to flee the country.

Religion is power. It's an authority.

If you're looking for ultimate power, you must dismantle any authority structures.

That can include intellectuals, Religion, Family structure. Hell, even comedy can be a threat if it's able to speak truth to power. Same with journalism.

The lie of freeing people of oppression by removing authority structures only really results in centralizing power that has the ability to oppress without challenge.

It is weird to me there's a focus on a word for someone who doesn't believe gods really exist in reality though. Nobody seems to make a focus on not believing in heliocentrism or not believing the earth is flat or not believing in ghosts or whatever.

I don't believe in any of that stuff but I generally just umbrella that as being not superstitious, aka not believing in supernatural things.

I do wonder about the people who get easily embarrassed or worry about privacy a lot who believe in supernatural things, like do they worry about being being watched by the invisible things?

I've often contemplated the compassionate thing to do for everyone would be to go to hell incase there is one.

Me. In heaven? Cringe.

That said I don't exactly know how to compassionately enter hell. As that compassion is supposed to also encompess the "self". As flawed as the self is.

In this scenario. We may all be going to hell. However, that's not "my wish".

Also. To actively disbelieve in consequences for ones life. It doesn't matter how moral you try to be. Seems like atheism is more a convenience to say "it doesn't matter what I do in this life". You may say you're a humanitarian. However you may still torture someone for their beliefs.

At a minimum unless you follow bhudda you are quite literally just an empty vessel meeting out your nihilistic instinctualism turned intellectualism as you see fit. No matter how much science you cope-quote. It's also a fear cope mechanism. Can't go to hell if there isn't one. No duty. No punishment for being an asshole to others. Literally a really bad philosophy to follow. It holds almost no intrinsic value as there is more proof for divinity and afterlives and life consequences then there is proof against.

In fact there is no specific proof there are no higher powers than mankind. Yet we do have crop circles. Giants on mountains. The Nasca figures. Mormons, kabala (i probably mispelled), Etc etc.

Not you specifically goblinmob :)

This sounds great but doesn't mean much when you get into the actual science. Dark matter is just a name for an unexplained set of observations we have about grand cosmological scales, and there are lots of theories about what dark matter might actually be. It's just an attempt at a logical explanation, and there are competing attempts, but no great explanations as of yet. Relativity also doesn't require dark matter to work. Certain theories based on relativity do.

Then you have God which isn't even an attempt at an explanation. Matters of belief and matters of knowledge are completely different things and shouldn't even be compared.

You are saying the exact same thing, dark matter is a joke.

God is absolutely a logical attempt at a logical expiation for the universe.

We still cant prove that it's interference not observation that makes quantum entanglement happen.

It's not even a theory, it's literally a "best guess" that observation is interference.

Everything is hocus pocus.

I'm sure if there is a god he knows where he came from, and when he tells you where that is you'd be like "OOHH wow that's some cool science."
