It's sort of a meme, but at the same time it isn't. I'm sure that a good 50% of the people here don't believe in god, but still don't consider themselves atheist because of how cancer most atheist are. You know what I mean (le fedora, le richard dawking, le enlightened, etc.). Compared to that, Christains are so much better. They are usually more driven, have hotter wives, and are just overall better/more enjoyable people.
>>
>>61214965
Many admit to being cultural Christians.

I'm an atheist but I agree with Dawkins that Christianity is the European bulwark against Islam. I try to only criticise Islam even though I'd prefer a world without organized religions. Just deists and atheists.

You are completely wrong.

And no, we don't follow mindlessly, we follow because of our faith which is established in evidence that our Lord is true and just.

Secularity came from the enlightenment, which was based on a movement away from Christianity and on texts brought back by crusaders from Islamic libraries that the Christians had burned as 'pagan' but the Arabs kept for academic purposes.
>>
>>61217780
Atheism in places like the U.S. is different than it is in places like Sweden. Since most of your population is atheist, being an atheist isn't really a big deal, but in places like the U.S. (where the atheist population is small) people who are atheist think that it's some sort of accomplishment, and they go to such great lengths to tell other people about it. Some of them are as bad as hardcore Christians.

This place has always been full of kike worshipers, it's not new. Just ignore them.
>>
>>61218062
Yeah I think that's part of why we're in the situation we're in right now. Religion is just so incredibly non-essential here that a lot of people just don't get how much of a big deal it is to religious people, like the Muslims for example. They simply can't fathom the lengths a man will go to for his faith. It's just comforting words in times of need and pretty ceremonies for us.
>>
>>61214965
Christcucks think just because we like tradition that means we like their recent kike religion as well
>>
>>61218310
I can say the opposite in that it was their religious faith which made them so curious and passionate to learn about God's creation.

So go back to reddit with that garbage.

As I said, I can name hundreds more.

Many who are alive today and are still Theists.

Mostly Christians.

I'll give you one to start.

>>61218455
They were Christians in name alone. When you have nothing but wooden telescopes it's easy to come to the conclusion that "God did it". However as civilization progressed and new ways of understanding the Universe arose scientist didn't need god any more as an answer to the gaps. This is why as time progressed you see less and less scientist holding strong if any religious beliefs.

I went to church this evening.
There was a special Filipino sermon or something like that and an Archbishop was here. He is the Observer to the United Nations, if I remember correctly.

I took communion. I don't even know if I can, I honestly haven't been to confession in like 7 years now. But it said only if you haven't confessed grave sins, but I don't think I've committed any grave sins.
Of course I've gone to church and taken communion tons of times in those 7 years, but it's starting to bother me a bit now for some reason.

The idea of all semitic monotheistic religions is submission. If the entire population has a submissive slave mentality pushed on them by the church they are less likely to rebel. That is the reason why the Roman empire spread Christianity to begin with, because it's easier to control an empire of slaves.

Everything you take for granted and like came out of Christianity's separation of "reality" and "whatever the ruler says." The Chinese are garbage precisely because they do not have this.
And the Roman empire went to hell welcoming in massive amounts of unassimilariable immigrants, and its twin went down fighting Muslims. Christianity was welcomed in both because it was seen as inevitable and because paganism had totally lost all credibility, and it re-energized Rome.

as far as the whole where did God come from, for us God is. God transcends our ideas of space and time, those rules are simply the system or rules he created for our universe.

It isn't satisfactory to a disbeliever or a skeptic. No argument I've seen is satisfactory from that viewpoint, and I kind of resent it being presented as if it will change minds. It's like an argument I read in a theological book once (I think it was partially an analysis of Luke?) that stated that Jesus was god because he died for our sins. He did, yes, but how is that proof that he's god, even if only god can forgive sins? It pre-supposes belief and/or assumes spiritual events skeptics won't accept before proof has been provided.

This is what Christians know because it is in the BIBLE, IF YOU WOULD JUST READ but no you would rather stay ignorant an just blame the jews Or blame whatever you want your afraid of the truth, why do the jews stay at top when everyone sees how the world is because GOD never breaks promises, the BIBLE explains thing's very clear but your afraid because things in this world have proving to you other wide to not put faith in anything, but GOD NEVER breaks promises

He was just shifting the burden of proof.

Which is not what you do. You should have known that.

The question is what would be accepted for evidence?

We have the Bible. We have historical recordings of first hand accounts of people who said they saw the resurrection of Jesus. We have causality. We have the 5 ways.

We have multiple logical proofs.

Unfortunately all you people want is God to come down and give you His autograph before you believe.

Fucking idiot, If it wasn't for Newton's religious beliefs he would've done more.
Newton invented Calculus on a dare basically but when he decided to bask in the majesty of God and no longer ponder questions to how the Universe worked preservation theory took another hundred years to be invented. There is nothing wrong with being a Christian but when you try to use God as an answer to scientific questions then it becomes scientifically pernicious because it distract people away from the hard work of answering scientific questions. It's just too easy to say oh God did it therefore we don't need to answer it.

You have to WANT to believe in God, you have to realize there is no evidence either way and you have the power to choose what you believe.

You cannot physically find God in the Universe, because God is not a part of the Universe, nor can you come to understand God by dismantling the universe into it's constituent parts, anymore so than you learn to understand your best friend by dissecting them with a scalpel.

What gets me is that I can understand people practicing and hoping a religion is real, but I can't believe anyone honestly believes it's true by any reasoning in their mind. Every time anyone is asked to justify why they believe, they just shrug and give a non-answer. If you're not already a "believer" it's literally impossible to believe since there's no way to rationalize a belief in magic without evidence to support it.

Where are these infinite gods coming from anon? Are you making them up in your head?

If so then logically they can't be God can they, since you just made them up. So obviously the only gods that could possibly be a contender for legitimacy are the ones that were believed in before the intervention of the imagination of modern man, which narrows the field considerably I think.

Get that Zeitgeist shit out of here.
Most of those are inaccurate. Isis, for example, was definitely not a virgin.

Jesus was not a modified solar deity.

However, that doesn't mean that Christianity didn't incorporate a shit ton of contemporary religious symbology.

Christianity is the first true cosmopolitan religion. It started from the bottom and worked its way up, snagging bits of shit from everyone it passed through.

The Halo is a remnant of the solar disk is Greek art, which itself is a remnant of the solar disk is Egyptian art.
It's multilevel derivative.

Remember that Christianity for the formative years was a primarily Greek religion. The first language of the New Testament was Greek.

The three Magi has nothing to do with Orion's belt, by the way.

I forgot about Dionysus.
Let me tell you about his "birth".

So Zeus was cruising Earth, looking for sweet human broads to ream.
He comes across a cutie and takes human form.
He tells her that he's Zeus in human form, and she has to pretty much fuck her.
Hera sees this however, and gets jealous.
So she comes down to Earth as an old woman in the young woman's entourage.
She tells the girl that if the man (Zeus) is really a god, she must make him swear to show her his true form. Specifically, the girl must make him swear by the river Styx.

So, after fucking, the girl asks the man (who is Zeus) to promise her something on the river Styx. Zeus is smoking his cigarette and is like sure baby whatever.
She tells him to reveal his true form.
Zeus goes "Oh shit", and because an oath on Styx is unbreakable, actually does it.
He goes full God.
The girl burns up in the awe of seeing his true form.
Zeus, in his pity, takes the fetus and sews it into his leg.
A few months later, out pops baby Dionysus, who Hera exiles to a lonely mountain.

But that's another tale

I don't see why any claim would be given more clout simply for being old. If something can be imagined today it could be imagined then, and it makes sense that there are thousands of different types of gods and creation stories as a result of humans having strong imaginations. Find any tribe that's not had contact with the modern world and the majority of the time they'll have some form of belief in magic (though this is not 100%, as there have been tribes found with independently generated secular beliefs who think it's just nature. No god needed)

>>61224800
You're still not getting it anon.
It's simple rudimentary logic.

You cannot prove that ancient gods you personally did not think of are the products of ancient imagination. It is certainly logical to claim they probably are the product of ancient imagination but you cannot PROVE it.

On the other hand you can conclusively prove that anything that you consciously imagine was in fact a product of your imagination.

See the way that works?
Maybe imaginary vs. Definitely imaginary

There is nothing that doesn't disprove cyclical expansion and compression.

Time is as intrinsic to our universe as distance.
