I have zero definitive proof that he exists or doesn't. Anything is possible, right? What I don't believe in is free-will or objective morals and therefore punishment for actions. Would I sign my soul away to the devil for worldly riches and all that stuff? Fuck yeah. Without blinking an eye. It's someone's will that I do but not mine.

I am completely indifferent to the idea of god existing and I have no idea why people chose to spend so much time in their limited life spans to the idea that a creator does or does exist.

>>
I think there is a purely intellectual God (Lucifer/Satan) who strives to unmake everything the Most High has created. We take our consciousness for granted. Christ died for us and most of us still act like human animals. Most of us support Evil through our thoughts, feelings, wishes, desires, behavior, actions etc. I believe the Devil will incarnate as as human being within the next few hundred years. It would be interesting to witness the coming of the Prince of Darkness. Hopefully I will get reincarnated in a human form in time for his arrival. I believe I've prepared myself sufficiently for the coming of the Anti Christ. I've already thrown my spiritual aspirations in the garbage, and the world is too full of light for me to be happy. I would prefer if everything was dark and gloomy, an electromagnetic spiritual state cast upon the world, no more hope, no more light, pure blackness, the spirit of Christ having fled the planet. I have prepared myself for such an event and I am confident I will be absorbed into Heaven just before the world goes silent. Have fun on your dead planet retards, I'll be in Heaven enjoying all sorts of heavenly delights. I'll be fucking beautiful spirit chicks, eating delicious food and listening to a choir of angels play a hymn to the Lost World.

Not him, but I don't. We observe that people who do bad things often live well and people who do good things often live poorly. The only way to settle this with karma is to believe in some sort of next life (whether it be an afterlife or reincarnation), for which there is insufficient evidence.

Atheism is like a religion. you don't have any concrete evidence that god does not exist and yet you claim there is no god. athesits base their beliefs on faith, just like any other forms of religion, except it does not teach morals, or anything that may be beneficial.

being an Atheist does not make you more clever. in fact, you are a pretty sad person.

I don't believe in God, but I'm not an Atheist.

One thing I'm sure of is that if God actually exists, he's nothing like the Christian God/Yavweh/Allah (it's the same god) that is described in the Bible, the Quran or the Torah.

Christians tried to tell me Harry Potter and Pokemon were evil when I was a kid in the 90s. Thought everything they told me was full of shit after that.

If you don't believe in any gods, you are an atheist. I specifically asked if he believes in any gods, and he said no, therefore he is an atheist. Whether or not he is a nihilist is irrelevant.

An atheist is convinced that God does it exist, I say that I don't know and I don't care.

It's perfectly possible to be an atheist and not give a shit. I'm not even sure what we are arguing about.

Would you prefer the term non-theist or non-believer? The term atheist has become contentious and associated with obnoxious, know-it-all fedora tippers. I don't blame you for being unwilling to identify as an atheist.

False. I am an atheist and I am not convinced that gods do not exist.
>So what about religions without gods ? Are they Atheists ?
Yes. There are atheistic religions just as there are theistic religions.

>>727078683
yes, nihilism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive, and I think we're arguing over the blurry line that separates philosophy and religion. I can't be sure though.

Atheist = not a theist

i.e., someone who does not believe in a god

it's a big pain in the ass trying to understand how the universe was created. it takes too much time of your life and , at one point , it makes you think life has no meaning. believing in god makes things easier. helps you some times. imo ppl should spend more time enjoying life than arguing about the existence of a god.
>>
>>727079015
Disbelief (n) inability or refusal to accept that something is true or real; lack of faith in something.

Not believing something is not equivalent to believing the opposite. Again, agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive.
>>
i've once heard a good saying that is scientifically provable and pretty true - life can only be created by life - just like any types of energy - can't be created , can't be destroyed , just transformed. makes you think imo

you don't think you fall closer to secular nihilism than atheism? Personally I look for anything I can to avoid calling myself atheist, lest I be lumped in with the Cheeto fingered fedora fags. But to each his own I suppose.

I think you're referring to the law of matter, that it can't be destroyed or created only altered. Never heard the life part.

Then you realize that "life can only be created by life" is not scientifically provable and that the laws of nature as we experience them break down as you approach the origin of the universe.

Atheism is the lack of belief in the existence of dieties, so if you don't believe that dieties don't exists, you're not an Atheist.

>>727081216

The atheist position is not a claim of knowledge. It is the lack of belief in a god. We do not have knowledge of any gods therefore we do not have a reason to believe one exists. People shit their pants when someone says I don't know and take it as a sign of weakness in the position, however it is much more weak for a position to assert knowledge on a subject without anything to support it.

I don't understand this. How can you believe something because you would rather it be true? You are either convinced something is true or not, correct? How does you wanting it to be the case affect how convinced you are? I wish I had a million dollars in the bank, that doesn't make me more convinced that it is so. Is it just that other people believe it? I really dont understand this. I am being sincere.

other famous atheists
Alfred Kinsey - scientist, he took sadistic pleasure out of his research, and did some very weird stuff, including exploiting children for sex.
Than Shwe - dictator
Kim Jong Il - de facto leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
Jeffrey Dahmer -an infamous serial killer and atheist sentenced to 900 years in prison, said “if a person doesn’t think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what’s the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges?”
Jim Jones - he “took the church and used the church to bring people to atheism”, largest loss of life event in america before 9/11
Benito Mussolini - dictator
Mao Zedong - dictator
Pol Pot - another dictator

People sincerely believe their religions to be factual. Thats not called a metaphor.

That's because meanwhile Science is selective of its members Religion is not. You need to complete certain trials to be able to call yourself a scientist, such as rigorous studies. Then you represent the whole of science.
But becoming a member of a religion has no trials, you can literally walk into a church, ask to join and they will let you, even if you just spent 50 years in prison. So members of a religion are not fit to represent the religion itself.

You are right, those contain laws and rules other things, but Jesus didn't write the bible.

Jesus told stories. The bible has some of those stories and other things in it as well.

Because there's no inherent self-criticizing in religion, like in science, the individual has to question everything on his own.

The whole thing is this: there are stories. Stories can be told, like Jesus told stories, they can be taught, they can be printed in books or shown in movies. You see a story and think about it. But not like a scientific problem, but rather let it effect you.

Because esoterism and religion don't question itself and its followers, most of the "spiritual" stuff out there is bullshit. You'll have to figure out which part isn't.

The deeper you go into "this", the less people you can talk with about it. Most religious people know fucking zero about it.
You'll go through nihilism and question your own existence.
And after a while you won't be able to talk to anyone about it. You'll go beyond a point where you'll have to do it alone.

Anything that I write to you here and now, anything you'll read anywhere is not esoteric.

Never head of it that one. I'll have to look into it. Sounds interesting.

But as I understand it, the Universe will die at one point. This fits in with nature and reality that we very well understand. But it doesn't work for everything else. Mainly, that something has to begin and end. So...what began BEFORE the universe? And if this is all just infinity then why is the universe pulling apart appearing to eventually be a dead universe through variously different predicted ways (i.e. heat death) and how do we fit in a universe run on infinity?

We're missing something huge. I know this thread is about the Bible, but the whole point or religion is to make sense of reality. Bible makes NO sense...but neither does what science is telling us.

>the matter may be comming from somewhere else
Exactly zero matter appears as the universe expands. A source of new matter simply isn't needed in the theory that describes it. I like very much that you're in touch with the knowledge that the universe is expanding. It's amazing, and not a lot of people know about it or even care. But you need to learn more about it.

Who said the universe had an edge? It could be closed, like a sphere.

>>727093460
the universe itself isnt matter, wether or not it has tangibility is irrelevant, space is made up of space the darkness of it itself is something that must be generated, and it must be generated from something comming from somewhere

The statement isnt self defeating... space and time is the universe. If there was space adjacent to the universe then we would simply call that a part of the universe. There is nothing outside the rim of the universe, Including space. Educate yourself on the physics of the Universe before you start talking to ppl about how there has to be other diminsions cuz where is our Universe moving into sorta shit cuz it doesnt make any sense if you know that space and time is our Universe.

Highly recommend this. I think its on Netflix too http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/the-inexplicable-universe-unsolved-mysteries.html

>>727093607
thats even better
if it isnt expanding and is a closed sphere, concider that we find a way to "puncture" the sphere. if it is closed the sphere would need to have a wall which lets say theoretically way punctured. so whats on the other side

>>727093770
you still neglect to tell me, how the universe is expanding if there is nothing outside of it

>look at cells
>it looks like the forces of nature aimed at making something specific

It's not, though.
If it was, why are these forces (God) so retarded as to take billions of fucking years to accomplish sentience? Why did God spend so much time dicking around making dinosaurs and then glassing them with a giant fucking comet? Just for the lulz?

There's no aim for any of this, we just got lucky that two retarded proto-humans fucked and happened to create a trait (sentience) which happened to be really fucking helpful in ensuring the survival of the species that has it (homo sapiens sapiens).

Also try telling starving ethiopians that nature has ambitions and aims as flies are crawling on their eyeballs and they live an existence devoid of any perceived meaning other than suffering

The theory is that everything is moving away from everything else. That's all. Distance between things isn't a thing that needs to be created.

Grew up in Texas, 22 years of people praising god, going to church, speaking of satan and sin.
I never really cared.
Moved to Norway because of my wife.
Complete freedom from religion.
People chill at home on Sundays, no fat money grabbin preacher on the town square, no talk about judgement and schools are religion free.
Didn't realize how much I hate religion and religious people until I experienced sane humans in a non religious country.

Really? Because last I heard A: We exist in the universe. It's not like there's an impenetrable bubble floating somewhere in space. Then I could agree with you it's simply something we weren't meant to know.

And B: last I heard, we have yet to find anything in the universe as complicated as the human brain. Everything is energy, but NOTHING in known existence uses energy in such a complicated fashion as our brains.

So have to disagree that the universe is beyond our ability to eventually figure out. We just need the right tools and how to use them. Then we can yell to the heavens "We have the tools! We have the talent! It's Miller Time!"

>>727093888
I thought we agreed that the universe was expanding. This is scientifically observable. If space was adjacent to the universe we would simply call that part of the universe because the universe is all the continuous space and time. Therefore the universe is not expanding into something. If there was something it was expanding into then that something would have been considered part of the universe in the first place. If you were here in person I could show u graphically but thats too much trouble over the internet. Just look this shit up. It isn't controversial.

>If it was, why are these forces (God) so retarded as to take billions of fucking years to accomplish sentience?
i didn't say exactly, that some guy did it, but there is something that also has ambition and therefore lifes and has enough power to launch all this
>making dinosaurs
>Just for the lulz?
why not?
>There's no aim for any of this
i said, the aim was life on earth
>we just got lucky that two retarded proto-humans fucked and happened to create a trait (sentience) which happened to be really fucking helpful in ensuring the survival of the species that has it (homo sapiens sapiens).
never questioned evolution
>Also try telling starving ethiopians that nature has ambitions and aims as flies are crawling on their eyeballs and they live an existence devoid of any perceived meaning other than suffering
thats ethics. maybe god doesn't give a fuck about that

We need to put God back in schools. We can still teach evolution, but creationism needs to have a higher priority. We have to follow the facts not base our decisions on feelings.

>>727094145
>Implying we actually understand anything

'no'.

We just create symbolic models to try to account for the things we observe.

Humans are really good at modelling, but if you think our models have any inherent meaning that will allow us to achieve any true type of higher meaning, you're just falling for a meme

No, there is no god.

Use you fuckng heads and see beyond the societal brainwash. Sure it's easy and comforting to believe in god, but it's just you being a pussy who is unable to cope with reality. You're born and you die. There is nothing more or nothing less.

Without religion, people would have no hope, we wouldn't try to do wonderful things like going to Mars.
>>
God is a satellite at the edge of the universe, absorbing electromagnetic impulses and retrieving data on the entire universe. Unenlightened individuals view the universe through the God Lens, while enlightened individuals are free from the psychic influence of the God Lens. Think of the God Lens as a video game system, and when you turn it on (to play God) you are immediately hypnotized by the flashing graphics on the screen. You are drawn to the dazzling colors and intriguing characters. The immersive environment and endless possibilities of playing God lift your soul toward the heavens, leaving your spirit shackled to the earth. Imagine a halo hovering above our planet, absorbing every spiritual impulse from every human soul. Eventually this halo would have enough energy to disengage from the rest of the cosmos and go its own way. Now imagine the halo as a sphere, and the sphere as a planet. We would call this planet Hell. It is a realm of psychic spiritual light, endlessly tantalizing its inhabitants with rays of pure intellectual cotton candy in plasma form. These inhabitants would be ghostly shadows of their former selves, and they would dwell in the Infernal Light of Hell forever. The contents of Hell can only be ascertained through clairvoyance, as the Hell Sphere is so distant from the reset of the cosmos.

Same here, moved to Finland in 2009.
Family back home in Oklahoma are hardcore Christians. Grew up with bible here and bible there..

Except when it comes to quantum physics. We have the tools and know how to use them. Quantum physics is simply too complicated for the human brain to properly comprehend. And if someone tells you they understand QP, they don't understand QP.

Our brains didn't evolve to understand this shit. The fact we can understand as little as we do about the universe is simply mind boggling.
