@orstern1784 Ok, but you have a paradox there, because who created God? Guess you’ll tell me he just always existed? Well how convenient that you get to use that argument but I can’t for some reason? I don’t really argue that God is an impossibility, only that nobody can really say for certain, that’s pretty much the position of most Atheists. It’s not just an argument about whether he exists or not though is it, the larger problem is that people use the existence, to confirm THEIR beliefs of what God is and what he wants...as if they have any real clue. Every religion thinks that their version of things is correct...but even if you could prove God exists beyond any doubt, that still doesn’t mean you can just immediately jump to “my version of God is the true God and that’s that”, no, I’m afraid you’d still have a long ways to go to reach that conclusion...and good luck with that, cause some will even fight to the death to say their belief is the only true belief. What a waste of time...do you really think God cares? Creates an awesome reality, the likes of which we can never fully comprehend...just to have us squabble and kiss his feet? Sounds pretty pointless if you ask me.
I don’t really care either way if God exists or not, it’s more the superstitious delusions that people create surrounding this God, that’s what I personally take issue with. Having never been religious, you have to understand my perspective is a bit different. All I’m seeing is thousands of other religions, completely different groups of people, from all around the world, who all reached a different conclusion...so which ones right? Well, they all think they are, but my guess is more likely that none of them are...especially since modern science continues to disprove all of these ancient beliefs. Does the world work on magic? No....so why do we for some reason give magical stories in the Bible a pass? Then you study human psychology a little bit, and learn that people are pretty prone to filling the blanks in their knowledge with superstition, cause it helps put their minds at ease, when they don’t fully understand something. Why go through the trouble of actually figuring it out, when you can just make shit up!? So much easier and less stressful.
If God is real, that’s fine, but I very much doubt he’s as petty to torture a soul for eternity...simply for not believing in him. And if he does think that’s somehow a just punishment for something so small, then he’s an asshole and doesn’t really deserve my devotion. If you want to worship a monster, you go right ahead, but I’m not about to do that, especially when I have no real reason to believe this psychopath even exists. Luckily, it’s very likely not true at all, so I’m none to worried.
