The latter is what you retarded atheist fucks immediately think when you hear that someone believes in god, the former is what most theists actually are. We do not have to debunk your 'arguments' against god but I'm sure >>>/r/atheism would like to hear about them.

Ye, I go to church a lot so I listen to this shit a lot.
The Old Testament is literally Demiurge worship.
Slavery, rape, genocide, Hagar the surrogate slave mother.
King Hezekiah begging God for 15 more years in material life.
Promises of world domination and great wealth by YHWH to the Hebrews disturbingly similar to Satan's temptation of Jesus in the New Testament.
Worship as nothing more than a commercial contract between YHWH and the "chosen people" with pointless tribal mitzvot sprinkled on top.
Not to mention the volcanic origin of YHWH.
YHWH is Satan. Jesus was the serpent in the garden, freeing humanity from the garden of Eden where it wallowed in ignorance (note how YHWH lied to Adam and Eve beforehand as rightly pointed out by the serpent). Since then, YHWH prince of this world reigns, with the chosen people as his earthly priest caste, controlling the world through the alchemies of finance and media.
Follow the path of the radical hellenic Jesus Christ. Follow Marcion. Follow Logos as opposed to the ramblings of devil-worshipping desert tribes.

You're probably thinking about it in limited materialistic sense, in which case yes, I think your conclusion is probably accurate. The problem is, "materialistic scientific" universe isn't enough to explain our being. What is consciousness? How does it function and where does it come from? Our current science certainly doesn't have much of a clue about that and thus it's not qualified to answer the question of existence of god. It's excellent tool for debunking fundamentalist fools who take bible for scientific truth though.

Even if I accept this at face value, it doesn't prove that the "materialistic scientific" universe isn't enough to explain it.
>and thus it's not qualified to answer the question of existence of god
It doesn't need to answer the question of the existence of god any more than it needs to answer the question of the existence an infinite number of other metaphysical nonsense I can invent, and that's because science accepts that this sort of mental masturbation doesn't bring you any closer to actual understand of anything.
>>1757307

Ok then. What does science say about the purpose of life? In the bast case fuck all, and if you really want something, it would probably go like "there is none, you might as well kill yourself right now". The question is too important to be left completely unanswered, and any answer that science by itself could provide is either not helpful at all or outright dangerous.

You certainly don't have to but you can look at god as abstraction or something like that. When people were looking for the answer in the past, it was way easier to connect the ideas with personified god. Throughout the ages, god actually has become less personified and more abstract as people were better able to conceptualize abstract ideas separately.
>>1757532
The point is that this "abstract idea" of yours doesn't constitute actual knowledge about the physical or the metaphysical, so any conclusions you deduce from it (about the purpose of life, its origin, or anything else at all) are as unsubstantiated as the original concept.
Why is it always atheists try to say they are smarter based on a hypothesis based on theories they barely comprehend.
They are equally retarded to those theists who believe they are illuminated/saints in life without even knowing basic theology
When will everyone see it's a cock/tit size competition between a man and a woman and the parameters used to judge the knowledge of the universe are totally different.

>>1757615

My parameter is internal consistency. I don't demand that your worldview must be consistent with mine. I merely recommend that your worldview should be consistent with itself, and unfortunately, theists don't have a consistent worldview.
>>1757064
yeah, i'm not gonna read all that shit, it's probably a pasta too.
>>1757551
The conclusions aren't scientific if that's what you mean. But that doesn't mean that they're not answers worth asking. The judeochristial culture certainly didn't come up with the best possible answers, but it lead to what we currently have so they certainly were good enough to make things better. People will always try to justify their own existence whether you like it or not, so you might as well try to find an answer that might make things better rather than worse.
>>1757632
the same could be said about atheists regarding the consistence morality and the origin of knowledge
It's not like being atheist is a shield against basic human flaws
>>1757639
>The conclusions aren't scientific if that's what you mean.
The conclusions are unsubstantiated. It is irrational to regard them as true, because they are baseless.
>But that doesn't mean that they're not answers worth asking.
The questions are worth asking, but any answers based on the concept of a god are unworthy of the questions, and that's because not only do they not constitute any knowledge, they are antithetical to knowledge.
>>1757662
And he never claimed that, what he's saying is the theist in this thread isn't being consistent with his own arguments and viewpoints
>>1757662

>>1757858
>Because you cant prove thats all that happens
You can prove it rather easily by noting that all aspects of yourself that you can perceive (i.e. everything that shapes your mental model of yourself) has been traced back to the brain, and when you die your brain gets destroyed. I can't prove that your mumbo jumbo godly soul energy doesn't live on, but that you still can't claim that you continue to live on in any meaningful sense. Not when every aspect of yourself that you understand (and thus shapes what you mean when you say "I") gets objectively and provably destroyed.

Exactly. So you dont know if it goes somewhere. Or if it stays floating around like a limbo.
This is where faith comes in. If nothing happens when i die then fine. Ill accept after im already dead and see for myself that theres nothing. But up until that point im going to strongly believe that i will meet god. Or end up in a heavenly or hellish place. You guys saying that there is or isnt anything does not matter.

The statement "I will live after death" is provably false because when you say "I", you are referring to a set of attributes that have all been traced back to your brain and body. Your hypothetical "soul energy" is not you in any meaningful sense.

I contest your claim on the basis of it being incoherent and irrelevant because:

Let's suppose a serial killer captures you and disfigures you to the point of unrecognizability, inflicts such extensive damage to your brain that you lose your memory and your personality is significantly altered (I can provide you with real case studies on this sort of thing), and to make things worse, he also pumps you full of personality-altering drugs, but you are saved before he kills you.

If you're asking about the purpose of your life as an individual, then you should do some introspection to figure it out.
If you're asking about the purpose of all life, then your reasoning is circular in that it assumes life has an intelligent creator that has imbued it with a purpose, so you have not yet proven that it's even a valid question.

Holy fuck... you are such a brainlet. It was just a way to formulate the question in a way that makes sense in the context of the situation. If that distracts you so much, let me put it this way: in what sense can the end result of these tortures be considered to be still you?

>>1758699
>Does any of that have to do with believing in more than nothingness after death?
Yes, because it shows that your beliefs about "somethingness after death" are just vague feelings you have, not any coherent ideas that can be discussed.
>Also can you answer your own question?
Yes.
>Will you if you can?
No, because I know it will be wasted effort with you.
>>1758716
Cmon telling me its a wasted effort is the same as saying you dont know how to answer your own question. Try me.
>>1757064
The problem with being a fucking idiot... is that you're too stupid to know you're stupid. Try your best to understand that your brain can only provide you with so much, which is why when you see that picture that your brain uses all it's power to conceptualize... it couldn't possibly be more clear to you. You literally have no choice bec that's how stupid you are. I genuinely feel sorry for you. Have fun wasting your life trying desperately to justify your belief. Maybe towards the end of it you'll learn enough to know how stupid you sound to anybody with a shred more common sense and intelligence.
>>1758740
>Try me
Okay. If I were to undergo such a procedure, I would not consider the outcome to be me in any meaningful sense, because it would have different properties from my concept of self, and there'll be no sense of continuity. By the same token, I logically cannot have "life after death". The "I" part of it invalidates the entire thing.
>>1758844
Hm. Is that more or less what you were expecting me to say?? Cant say im satisfied with that answer. So what was the final point of that question that stemmed from the topic of believing in an afterlife of sorts and wether or not we can prove or disprove it.
>>1758898
>Is that more or less what you were expecting me to say??
No. I expected you to not be able to answer the question at all, and that's exactly what happened.
>Cant say im satisfied with that answer.
Your "satisfaction" with it is irrelevant.
>So what was the final point of that question
That any statement you make to the effect that you will continue to exist in some capacity after death is meaningless noise, because you have no coherent idea of what it means for "you" to exist in the first place.
