Really?

>>94475845
Rick is a massive contrarian that will take almost any side as long as he thinks it makes him come off as superior. In the Christmas episode he berated the family for being on their ipads on "the day of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ."

Why does atheism trigger people so much?

>>94475845
>Rick literally yells at God for the rain this episode
Rick's personal beliefs on God are entirely based on what would be funny at the time.

>>94475845
Rick is a self-absorbed nihilist.

He rejects god because he refuses to entertain the idea that anything could be greater or more powerful than himself.

Which is why when he's vulnerable it leaks out. But once control is restored he returns to a spiteful asshole.

>board claims to hate Rick and Morty
>Can't stop talking about Rick and Morty

>>94475895

I don't give a damn the show having an atheist mindset, I would prefer it really. But the show literally give undeniable proof of the existence of the Devil and therefore God in that universe. Which makes being an atheist in said universe with this knowledge the most ignorant and stupidest idea imaginable really. And Rick literally being the factual guy should know this, but somehow still hold his atheistic belief just for the sake of it. Again, pretty retarded really.

Rick sees himself higher than g9od.

He also probably hates god for what ever happened to his wife.

Rick also has no respect for authority figures and their rules.

If atheists have it all figured out, why are they always so sad?

>>94476173
Because, despite the protestation of nihilists that there is a freedom in it, it ultimately leads only to despair.

""The possibility that we are living in a false vacuum has never been a cheering one to contemplate. Vacuum decay is the ultimate ecological catastrophe; in the new vacuum there are new constants of nature; after vacuum decay, not only is life as we know it impossible, so is chemistry as we know it. However, one could always draw stoic comfort from the possibility that perhaps in the course of time the new vacuum would sustain, if not life as we know it, at least some structures capable of knowing joy. This possibility has now been eliminated."

Atheism + False Vacuum Hypothesis = crippling despair, though the best option at that point is to embrace existentialism/absurdism.

>>94476412
Didn't Samarai Jack have a marathon that delayed other new shows by a week?

How did Jack fans feel about that?

>>94476404
His own atheism prevents him from becoming a god. As long as he believes there is no god, he cannot become one. And if he casts aside his belief to become a god himself, there's a god to stop him.

>>94476408
>Post that tries to sound deep, but says nothing

>>94475990
I think the show follows star trek next generation logic where beings with supernatural powers exist in the universe and as far as humans are concerned they are gods, but in reality are just other organisms. In the same way monsters don't exist, but to someone who knew nothing of the world, giant squid or grizzly bears are monsters to them.

>>94476458
Very positive they didn't care if other shows got delayed.
For a bit there all that The Jack Fans wanted was Jack, and anything that got in the way of that they hated forever.

>>94475845
You need to understand that atheism and theism are thoughts, and people are capable of changing their minds. Rick only believes in god when its funny to.

>>94475895
Don't you find it funny that fucking 4chan of all places has turned into a good christian imageboard that attacks atheism on sight? You fucks are the ones most likely to go to hell first if anything.

>>94475995
Literally nothing has changed in terms of plot, character development, writing, animation. I get maybe being lukewarm on the latest episodes if for whatever reason they aren't your cup of tea, but this apocalyptic talk is just out of nowhere. Honestly, I think its underage nostalgia of a show they watched originally when they were 13.

>>94475845

Well someone who lies to themselves until they believe a bunch of bullshit often feel better than honest people.

But even if you're not an atheist there's no reason to pick any particular pantheon. There are countless gods and spirits floating around. So if you're not an atheist you have to decide which fantasy beings out of thousands or more to believe in. I kind of like the early Roman Numina or Shinto spirits.

First, I consider myself a fairly comfortable and happy person. Second, it's irrelevant to whether your understanding of the universe is accurate or not. Reality doesn't care if it makes you feel bad, reality is reality. I hope no one's coming to a conclusion about God because the alternative makes them sad.

The whole episode was Rick disputing the supernatural claims with science. He makes a detector and proved it all is real and no magical or spiritual. That guy wasn't Satan.

>>94475845
He asked God favors on two different occasions by my count. To dial back the rain and to help him out of the schrodinger vortex. So I guess he's got Rick's back.

>>94475845
>This makes no sense
There can be the real beings of "god" and "Satan" but that doesn't make them like their biblical counterparts and it doesn't make them exist in all of Rick's multiverses.
When he said "God isn't real", he meant that there's no higher power of good that will come to Morty's aid, which is perfectly in-line with how Rick chooses to live his life because of it.

>>94475895

God and Science can co-exist. Science being the language of God.

>>94475845
It's not a real sensical show. In ATHF, things don't make sense neither.

I don't think Satan in Rick and Morty is really the fallen angel Lucifer; he's just a dickhead. This is an entity that tried to kill himself by hanging, and got the shit kicked out of by Rick and Summer after a workout montage. If he were supernatural in any way, how is he so... mortal? And more importantly, why are his curses able to be removed by technology?

>>94479809
There are no actual satanists. The two main satanic organizations around today both acknowledge that Satan doesn't really exist. Actual believers would be luciferians but they don't exist today.

Let's ignore all of history before you fedora tippers came on the scene. Let's ignore most of the important scientific discoveries that were made were by priests and other people of faith.

>>94480241
The only thing that matters is the definition of "atheist" which is one who doesn't believe in god, not one who claims there's no god. Atheism is a position, not a movement, which is why it isn't defined by its members.

Science that you don't understand is indistinguishable from magic.

I'm getting real fucking sick of hearing this same stupid, lazy bullshit.

S2e1, after Rick tears open reality and is floating through limbo, he desperately prays for Rick and Summer to be OK, only to return to his usual self-congratulatory bullshit when he realizes he can pull through. Rick doesn't go to church, but he does believe in God, even if he's too egotistical to be comfortable with the idea of any being having greater power than his own.

Rick is not an atheist, just arrogant.

>>94480474

actually, Satan and hell are both Christian inventions from early missioneric times. In Judaism Satan is just a demon. and demons, djinns, vampires etc are just minor folklore fauna in Abrahamic cultures. antithesising them to God and angels is like, idunno, placing trolls and leprechauns on the same level as Odin and northern pantheon. there is no such thing as hell in Judasim as well (there is Gehenna - a place where a soul can spend a limited amount time to cleanse itself if it chooses so - nobody can send you there). Early missioners invented Satan-as-the-archenemy-of-men and the hell-as-the-place-of-eternal-demnation-and-suffering (using Gehenna and Tartarus as prototypes) to spook heathens into submission carrot-and-stick-style. So yeah, actually the existence of Satan is just as good a proof of God's existence as the the existence of vampires (which do exist in R&M universe).

>>94480204
(speaks in German) "numbers are the language of the gods".

>>94476880
God exists outside our world. 3000 years ago, people took this to mean he did not walk on the soil of the Earth. Our concept of the world has expanded significantly, and currently encompasses the observable universe. It would then stand to reason that God must exist in some place and time outside the observable universe. In the concept of the plurality of worlds, there is either a single God reigning over all alternate timelines and the multiverse, or each universe has its own external God, and these figures are aware of one-another and exist in the same shared space.

Omnipotence and omniscience do not apply solely to this one ball of dirt we live on. Flying saucers from Zeta-Reticuli mat well worship the same God under their own title and have the same or similar cycle of mythology surrounding him.

>>94475845
>Therefore God, angels and etc also exist and should be obvious
This makes no sense and just makes you the biggest retard on Earth really.
Also you know this episode was just a big Needful Things parody right? He's not Satan, he's Leland Gaunt. A demon at best.

>>94475845

Rick seems to believe in God but holds him in contempt for some reason. He's asked God for help a couple of times including in the most recent episode. Really Rick is just a petty asshole and nobody should really expect anything that comes out of his mouth to be consistent. He's pretty open about the fact that he'll lie about anything if he thinks it will benefit him in some small way.

>>94475845
>Characters literally knowing Satan exist
>Therefore God, angels and etc also exist

Just because hell exists doesnt mean heaven does.

He's not wrong.

>>94481934

Eh it kinda does. At least in this context. The dude was clearly trying to tempt and torment people secretly. He was taken aback when Rick accused him of being Satan as if being found out had some sort of consequences. If there's no God there's no reason for him not to just overrun the Earth openly with his demon buddies and turn Earth into an extension of hell.

>>94475845

I too can use strawman logic, anon.

Rick's not an atheist in the typical sense of the word. When he says "there's no God" he means with a capital G. The entity people know has god probably exists in Rick and Morty, but he's so inconsequential in the grander scheme of things it's asinine for a man like Rick to worship him.

The episode where Satan (not Lucifer, the actual Devil) appeared, Rick was able to effortlessly outsmart it. Seeing as Satan is just below God in power ranking according to Christian dogma, it doesn't seem hard to understand why Rick has a problem with worshippers of the big G.

As why he falls to religion when he's in danger, well, God might be a small fry, but when everything failed Rick, God actually has powers and (probs) watches over humans. So even a small fry can give a helping hand when the odds are stacked against you.

>>94476204
>Comparing things that are irrevocably proven to be made by men to something that isn't.

Alright then.

>>94482184
This, Absolutely This.
Fact and Faith are the bedrock of civilization. You can't have science or religion without both of them.
Facts of Good Virtues and Faith in the Human Ability are just as important as faith in God (of any religion or dogma) And the solid facts of Science.
Everyone believes in something.

>>94482184
>Seeing as Satan is just below God in power ranking according to Christian dogma, it doesn't seem hard to understand why Rick has a problem with worshippers of the big G.

That's like saying between the two, a flea is just below the power of a trillion trillion suns. God is omnipotent in Christian dogma, and Satan is just some angel with charisma.

>>94480151
>all that love shit

>>94480548
>test it yourself
The scientific institution RARELY ever actually makes sure results are repeatable measures beyond the occasional follow up experiment or deviation that is close enough to the original that the fault is revealed.
It sure as hell never encourages or could even sustain, individuals testing things to find out on their own. In fact, these days people barely check the methodology for context to the results section. They just confirm or deny the supposition which prompted them towards the article by a stray sentence or two.
God is dead, and we killed him but science lies right next to him drawing his last breath.

>>94482465
Well, I don't really care about any religion or following enough to walk around like my shit doesn't stink. I don't have much of a sense of self importance, everyone is important in some way.

>>94482376
No you fucking idiot, read the damned book. Lucífer is Satan, nor the Devil. The Devil is the Serpent, the manifestation of Sin.

In proper Catholic dogma there's a common theme that existence itself is guilty of sin. Men are born in sin, and only by accepting God can they be cleansed of this Primal Sin.

"But the primal sin was commited by Adam and Eve on the Garden of Eden! Why are you saying it goes further than that you faggot?". Simple. The Garden of Eden was created by God as a place free from the Sin of existence. We know this because life existed outside of the Garden of Eden, as Cain's travels indicate (seeing as he met humans before Adam and Eve crapped out a new set of sons that became the Children of Zion), and this life was sinful and impure. This is because only God holds purity, everything not associated with him is unholy.

And this is where the snake came from. The snake, the Devil, or Satan, is the manifestation of this primal sin, the normal state of the world without God to cleanse it. It is a primal power that opposes God, seeing as God wasn't the one who created the Snake, and the great corruptor who influenced Lucifer couldn't be himself.

So yeah, big difference between the Fallen Angel, who's basically just Hell's most popular sinner, and Satan/The Devil.

>inb4 this is just Chatholic Dogma, Christians are diferent!

Christianity is based on the premise that Christ came to cleanse us of the Primal Sin of the first Men. So no, everything that applies about the Devil, God, the Garden of Evil and Sin about Catholicism applies to Christianity.

>>94482512
>everyone is important
Haha. The logical failing of ideology and theology both.

>>94482498
That's not the fault of the scientific institution, that's capitalism, pure and simple. Many scientists do indeed want to redo previous studies to confirm their results, but they need funding for that, and the companies behind those studies don't see the big bucks in repeating former experiences, instead wanting to come up with the next big thing to either patent the possible inventions made from it or get money from big companies for influencing public opinion. Those stupid studies about sugar, coffee and spices come to mind.

>>94482544
Well, perhaps not important in a big overall sense. Everyone is important to someone else in some way, all linked and such.

>>94482528
*Lucífer isn't satan, nor the devil

>y-you can test it b-b-but people are lazy. yeah that's right! this is why science is lies and religion and god is true only heh...

>>94482560
>that's capitalism
Academia exists separate to capitalism just the same as theology does. They all interact and naturally capitalism affects it but they're not the same thing. Scientific institutions are a den of bias, nepotism and politics.
Many valid ideas have been screamed down by more established proponents of another school of thought. The advancement, investment and publicity is not driven by rationality or results but pride and networking.
This isn't the intended function of the method. It was designed to eliminate this sort of shit but instead it finds itself co-opted. You might argue science is still the best we've got and I might agree but that doesn't excuse the current and foreseeable state of the scientific institution.

>>94482498
>Science lies next to him drawing his last breath

Which is why we're on the break of the cybernetic revolution and our scientific achievements have never developed faster, right?

>>94482588
I didn't say anything about theology you absolute loser. That you can't actually address my point sincerely means you're either too far removed from science to get what I'm on about or you're so opposed to theology that you don't even question the alternative. Neither of these would gel well with the principles outlined by the scientific method.

>>94482627
>technology is science
Fallacious. Even in the days of theology we continued to make advancements. Science is a particular way of viewing and interacting with what is known and unknown.
If we're judging the schools of thought on their technological prowess then religion is still mighty effective. The church was the major force behind most European advancement.

>>94482620
>Academia exists separate to capitalism just the same as theology does

Lol you ignorant faggot. If that was true, most big time religions wouldn't be the richest fucks in the world. Goddamn, the Bank of the Vatican is one of, if not the, biggest and richest bank of all time.

Science is expensive. It requires big toys and lots of people for its biggest modern experiments. Sure, any faggot in his garage can check the basic electromagnetic properties at work by building a Faraday cage (in fact, Faraday himself was pretty much just another faggot in his garage when he began, he didn't even go to proper education), but if you want to check if Dark Matter truly interacts like the scientific community says it does, or if you can really create corporeal particles out of pure energy you better have some big shekels in hand, or sell your smart ass to some big corporation.


At least science has the excuse of being expensive, and despite it most scientists working in fields like Physics or Astronomy have no proper reason to lie to you. Religion has no such excuse. It uses the belief of the people to make big bucks.

Maybe because it's a joke and just a silly plot?

Why does every cartoon need some sort of explanation on par with the Silmarillion?

he can suicide by hanging himself. he is not that powerful. Why do you want to insist that in a fictional world, demon and god must exist at the same time?

The Devil is a folkloric entity seperate from god but found across all cultures. From the coyote of the american southwest to loki of the norsemen. The Devil is clearly some sort of extraplanetary/dimensional other who live on earth and feeds on the sadness/misery of those he tempts with his Faustian bargains. If he were really a religious entity how would rick be able to remove the curses with science?

>I know the exact truth about what happened between beings literally beyond comprehension by our nature, as conveyed to me by other people the same as me, from a time period consisting of people infinitely less intelligent than me

Nobody knows God exists. As another anon said, that's why it's called faith, and why it's rewarded.

Nobody knows he doesn't exist since everything, even down to Descartes' "I think therefore I am" is also at the whim of something omnipotent.

If you're some kind of simp cuck and subscribe to Pascal's wager and have faith in God to hedge your bets about going to hell - I hope I get the chance to kick your gizzards out sometime in the afterlife because that's probably a ticket to hell, fucker.

Fuck you. I like the show, dislike the creators, but am along for the ride and will skip episodes I don't like when I watch and rewatch episodes I don't pay for in the future because I'm an asshole. Life isn't so hard, fags.

>>94480292

The philosophical and ethical points that Rick activates people's almonds.
They then use it to try and prove their philosophy is better.
People try to push the atheism thing with Rick&Morty because Rick has essentially become a God himself, but he doesn't care and carries on with his life, partly because he hates authority and likes his family.

>>94480553

This is pretty stupid. The scientific method allows for change if things are shown to be wrong. An ancient text about say Tiamat from Mesopotamia never allows for any alteration even if every detail is disproven and it's confirmed it's a made up story.

C'mon man... who let all these polytheists into the monotheist party?

>>94475990
As an actual Christian, I can confirm nothing about Mr. Needful is necessarily proof that he's the literal, Biblical Satan, let alone that there's a God.

He's a reference to the version of the Devil from Stephen King's Needful Things, but that's just a very modern, American folklore/pop cultural interpretation of the Devil as travelling salesman.

Let's also not forget how much weird shit is in the R&M Universe, and how quick people are to attach theological significance to it (Headism,the pocket universes).

Even sticking within the realm of "parodying preexisting genre shit", it's possible that:
>Rick has met one or several beings claiming to be God/Jesus/Vishnu etc.in his adventures, and they always turn out to just be a sentient energy being or whatever. Maybe Birdpeople were the inspiration for angels.
>it's a universe where the Devil exists but God doesn't, ala horror tropes
>It's a universe where God exists, but he's revealed to be just a fallible scientist who created the universe out of ego or some other petty reasons, like Rick, and that Rick's self-loathing and existential pain is wrapped up in this.
>it's a universe where the Devil exists but he's one or several sci-fi paranormal entities who use Clarke's Third Law to troll lesser life forms.

Any of these pretty likely to me.

>implying that episode was set in c-137 rick's current timeline

I mean what? Did you think Rick and Summer just magically muscled down the next episode or something?

>>94475845
The biggest thing is people are overthinking a comedy show. But there could be Satan and no god too or maybe while some universes have creators and maintainers the multiverse doesn't have evidence Rick has seen of any deities. I mean even Rick has created one just for his own profit. Rick is also shown as a hypocrite and it's a comedy.

Atheism just means you don't currently believe in something because there's no evidence of it. If evidence emerged that would change.

Almost everyone is atheist about some gods unless you believe in Zeus, Odin, Celtic gods, etc. so on every single religion people have ever believed in.

Yes some loud people are jerks but not believing in fairies (which was a religion many people believed in too, remember) doesn't mean you think there is definite proof they don't exist.

>>94483131

/co/ is literally retarded that the point always fly past their heads.
If they actually bothered to watch things (/co/ not only doesn't read comics but also doesn't watch cartoons) they would know that there's an episode where Rick is literally God because he made an universe to power his car, and inside that universe one of the creatures is literally God because he made an universe to power their city. The conclusion is obvious that maybe something also created the universe Rick is in, but when confronted with that he just goes "THERE IS NO GOD!" clearly in denial.
In another episode Rick thinks he's going to be erased from existence and begs to God to save his life, but once he is saved he instantly goes back to "I've done it, I saved us all."

The show is not praising surface level atheism, but anons are too fucking stupid to even grasp anything below surface, so they shitpost about reddit, fedora and le atheism, turn the catalog into cancer and think their nu-channer christian stand is totes superior.

Cuz they won't shut the fuck up about it, like how some gays go out of their way to tell you. They just HAVE to pipe up in a smug, superior tone. I'm not even religious and that bugs me, too.

>>94486406
If you believe in god and the devil, why wouldn't you also believe in fairies and unicorns?

>>94486811
Continued: however, Rick is not annoying when he does it, mainly cuz he keeps changing his position on the matter.

>>94486406
How was your 14th birthday this year?

>>94486839
I...i believe in unicorns. When I was little I'd always wake up in quiet tears after dreaming about them. Shut up.

>>94475845
Rick is suppose to be a fickle piece of a shit. He'll shit on God when he performs scientific feats, but then turn around to pray for mercy when he's wanting something.

>>94486839
doesn't rick also believe in vampires? in this case couldn't unicorns also exist?

>>94486839
Those don't exist but ghosts do. And there is a reason a possessed person screams when you say the name of god

>>94487294
Ghost don't exists, possession doesn't exist,
and god doesn't exist.

Welcome to reality

>>94487294
Fuck, you're one naive motherfucker.

>>94486406
I know this might be shocking but you can believe in something regardless if you don't follow it's practice. Of course most kids usually say they are atheist just because they had Sunday mass.

Different anon but I've experienced odd activity in an old house I lived in and I'm one skeptical motherfucker.

>objects moving on their own
>room temperatures changing drastically within moments
>all housemates eventually saw a translucent (think Predator cloaking) being come out of walls and move a bit before vanishing
>nobody spoke of seeing it until I brought it up one morning since I was still shaken from seeing it the night before while glancing up from a book
>one friend left the house and refused to go back in alone since when they entered (it was empty) they heard 'a sound like someone breathing through a tube' go through the main room and eventually come up to their back

I don't want to say 'ghosts' but something was wrong with the place. I've tried to discuss it with other anons or people that maybe experienced similar things, but most of them were liars obvioualy making up stories that were shitty creepypasta-tier gunk. I just want to know what in the fuck was going on in that house before I die.

>>94487830
It's simple. Stay in the house, have recording devices ready, record something, be the first person ever to produce undeniable evidence of paranormal activity, have it analyzed then.

>>94487323
>Ghost don't exists
Keep telling yourself that

Simple.

Rick created a microverse to power his car battery

To the people of the microverse Rick is a God and creator.

I have reason to believe Rick KNOWS he's someone's creation and he's the only being that understands this just like Zeep is the only one who knows the purpose of the Microverse. He often breaks the 4th wall and creates stupid catchphrases to entertain the audience his creators (The Writers) have created him to entertain.

Any time he appeals to a higher power he is asking the writers to bail him out. To him the writers are God.

He wants to find some way to leave the universe he is trapped within, which explains his tireless search for knowledge. That's why Rick is always the most reckless character in the universes he lives in, he's the only one that knows that nothing really matters, it's all about being entertaining enough to keep the show running and he just goes along with whatever the writers throw at him.

>>94476404
Mid tier waifs there

>>94475845
If Rick is able to remove Satan's curses with science, it means Satan's power have basis in the physical realm. If Satan's not supernatural, then the biblical God, if he exists, may not be supernatural either. He would not fit the concept of an all powerful, all knowing entity with direct control of all of our lives or a plan for each of us on an individual level. God may just be the guy who made the battery that contains our universe. Why rely on him?

Not something you need to subscribe to, but not inconsistent within the show's universe either.

>>94488462
What we consider to be "magic" and "curses" may be some Alien/Interdimensional technology we don't understand

But Rick with his vast knowledge of Alien/Interdimensional technologies was able to figure it out.

Same goes for Gods/Angels/Demons

Not only does Rick figure out the devil's curses but I find it very noteworthy that he nonchalantly notices that he is the devil.

Like he's dealt with beings like him before and this one just happens to live on earth but he's never met him before.

Rick is in on a joke that nobody else in his existence is in on. For all we know maybe he knows he's part of a cartoon show and the writers are his "God"

>>94480151
oh wow it to hard believe in God and forgive people oh wow it is a really hard choice to do that you see this is why God is evil because he tells you to do three things to have faith in him forgive others and ask to be forgiven an oh gee man that's hard to do

who created god?

Even in universes where there's a godlike figure, there's still the basic questions that can't be answered.

It's totally possible to be an atheist, it just depends on your definition of god you lack faith in.

>>94488706
atheist do it more though and are willing to excluded from social groups if you believe a religion they are the Democrats of religion

>>94475845
The joke is that Rick knows god(s) are real.


He has SUCH a huge ego he thinks he can outdo them all with science.

I think this boils down to perceived vs quantificable.
Of course each side thinks that the other is more guilty, I don't think "they're elitists" matters in the decision of being one of those that believe in a god or not.

>>94476880
Yep. that also implies there's an afterlife in those said universes.

And I think if anyone can beat god It's rick sanchez.

I mean the guy built a little universe in a box that produces more power than all of humanity. I think the guys gonna manage.

Religious people think you're going to be punished in the after life for not believing what they believe. I don't think you can out-smug that.

>>94482005
Probably from Jehova's Witness. "Witnessing" in this case would mean proselytizing to.

>>94488817
Christians are textbook elitists though, that's a fact.
Other religions can't coexist with Christianity or any other abrahamic religions.
Unless they want to be labeled as inferior and fake.

You're talking about the religion of Peace buddy those are all kinds of crazy but I'll give you that. but I think atheists are more annoying than Christian Buddhists and any other religion that isn't mud slime Christian s just get annoyed but fuck off Buddhist they don't give a shit the atheist you get fucking kicked out from groups banned from YouTube get your Twitter account band just for believing in an afterlife unless you're a mud slime

>>94488851
no if you don't believe you just don't exist in the afterlife because that's what you believe what happened anyways it's a fitting punishment everyone you know who believes just live on while you don't exist anymore because you don't believe

>>94489274
>You're talking about the religion of Peace
You mean the one that's pretty much just the Old Testament but in Arabic?

>>94488957
>Daily reminder that hell, Big daddy devil and his kids is fanfic, the bible talks about non-specified torment worse than death only if you anger God or denies his calling.
I'm failing to see the difference. It all boils down to:
>Someone's going to kick your ass in the afterlife if you don't do what God wants
>WE know what God wants

Mind you, I'm not really arguing the merits of religion or atheism, just about the smugness. What does the atheist have to be smug about, sleeping in on Sundays and being able to do it in the butt without guilt? Outside the internet and in the real world, I've just never had an atheist get up in my face about anything. Can't say the same for religious people who all think they're the chosen ones or know better than everyone else. Those things are prerequisites for religion, aren't they?

>>94489360 it's different

>>94489376

He uses science to stop the curses, kinda proving satans magic isnt really magic.

>>94489376
>I've just never had an atheist get up in my face about anything.

People complaining usually never interact with real people in the real world or leave their houses so they're basing everything of the distorted made up shit they see on tv, in movies, and online. In the real world atheists usually don't say anything about their beliefs and people are much more likely to talk at work or family events about which church they go to has been my overwhelming experience at the office or when my family gets together with other families over the years. Like our kids' friends' parents will ask what church we go to. Being atheists very rarely comes out unless you've been friends with them for years.

>>94489417
Talk show hosts are paid to poke fun and be smug about everything. The idea that religion should be off limits is, well, kind of smug in itself.

Now I'm assuming you are religious, and I don't want to belittle the slights you perceive. But if taking a few cheap shots from comedians or a cartoon is what gets you worked up the most, then I think you have it pretty good, given what tends to happen in the rest of the world when one group of smug religious assholes meet another group of smug religious assholes.

>>94475845

Have you never watched other adult cartoons? God, Jesus, Satan, etc. exist in shows like Family Guy and South Park and yet atheists exist in those shows.

I won't say which side looked dumber but it was a close call, mate and don't ever think otherwise.

>>94476204
ever notice how religious people pick beautiful spring meadows and never diseases infested swamps as proof god exists? They're too stupid to realize we evolved to like spring meadows because it meant a bounty of fresh food and water.

>>94488763
I think the biggest mindfuck is if there is a god and every major religion and its rules turn out to be wrong anyway.

>>94478570
there is no god though. not really up for debate since people who believe in god cannot use logic to defend their beliefs, which, by the way, are pushed on the rest of the world because it's a political tool. religion has nothing to do with liberating people

Yeah that's not even atheism, that's epistemology, you're stating you know without doubt god doesn't exist, yet now the burden of proof is on you to prove that is true.

Atheists simply lack belief in god.

Why would Satan being real make God, the angels, and or demons exist.

He's just the adversary. Rick even calls it a Bugs Bunny bit.

>>94487830
Silly anon ghosts don't exist But demons do

>>94475895
Because it's usually presented as existing in the same place where actual gods and demons interact with everyone all the fucking time?
It's one thing to be an atheist if you never ran into em. It's another when you've actually seen a fucking afterlife and.or met people you know are dead there.

when the fuck did this turn into /x/?

>>94488215

>>94491545

Science isn't about proving things with 100% certainty you idiots.

It's about consistent results through a variety of repeated controlled experiments building peer review evidence.

You're using the same backward logic christfags use when you say you know 100% that god doesn't exist.

>>94491894
What created god?

Even in a world where "god" exists there will still be people that think what created the creator.

>>94488703
What if you like all of them?

>>94491972
AND?
If you go drinking at valhalla and find out the norse myths are based on actual history the idea that you wonder what created X doesn't make you any less retarded for deciding Thor totally isn't real and anyone you run into that thinks he's real is an idiot. Seriously. that wasn't even an argument. Did you link to the wrong post or something?

>>94476592
There is no story of any Satan or lucifer being kicked out of heaven in the Bible. That's from paradise lost and only retards think it's a real part of Christianity and all it's denominations.

Can you prove without a doubt there is a god?

The answer to both is No, therefore it is a waste of energy to even debate the issue. If someone tries to convince you of either why even confront them? They're so caught up in their subjective beliefs it is a waste of everyone's time to even bother.

>>94492340
Um, actually, God told Milton that it was 100% fact, just like the Divine Comedy is exactly how the afterlife is. As long as you hear voices in your head your fan fiction is canon.
