Begin with the book of "James" OP, you can find it in the New Testament and is basically a short little book on all of the rules and positions of Christianity shortened down. Also the key isn't to "force" yourself to believe in god - the majority of Christians experience un-explainable religious phenomena during their life times; if you want some really good arguments for the existence of a metaphysical creator there are great essays and books written by Thomas Aquinas, and C.S. Lewis

What I meant is that I have never met anyone from the west hold that opinion - It is rare for anyone to pretend to believe in a religion just to make a family member happy at least in my experience (United states). Most people either believe in a religion as a legitimate theological standpoint or are just blatantly atheist full stop.

>how do poor reasoning skills result in somebody suddenly believing in god

They don't result in somebody "suddenly" believing in God. They result in somebody unable to distinguish the fact that believing in a deity in an incredibly illogical stance to take based on what we know at this moment in human history.

>how is lack of willpower equivalent to being too afraid to "believe in nothing"?

Because some people want to feel the comfort of believing that there's something more, especially that there's something that exists after death. It's more comforting to believe that than to just believe there's nothing and everyone here just happens to be an accident created by stardust.

Like I said, it was pretty self-explanatory. The fact you didn't grasp it doesn't come as a surprise to me considering you likely believe in a big sky daddy anyway.

Uhh no? Theological experts make the most impactful rulings on what is allegory and what is to be taken literally, and at least in the orthodox tradition requires 8 YEARS of historical , linguistic, anthropological, and theological training - the equivalent of a literary med school and even then very few people are actually chosen to become sources for biblical commentary.

1)Civilizations governed by its "Divine law" operate objectively more efficiently and more reliable than secular societies <- showing that whatever (or whoever even if it is just some Shepard sitting in a field) has some insight into human nature which exceeds post-modern enlightenment ideas.
2) Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence- meaning that there is no advantage of evidence in the debate concerning the existence of a deity.
3) "Miracles" happening consistently within hospitals which are unexplanable by current medical technology and knowledge (look up spontaneous cancerous disappearences)
4) Individual experiences - the majority of christian believers report profound spiritual experiences at least once in their lifetime, this would imply that for this statistic to be in correct 75% of western civilization would all have to be lieing in unison for some unknown reason
4)the extreme rarity of any form of life in space - the 2nd law of thermodynamics "entropy" states that the more complex a system the more likely for dishorder or chaos to propagate, in order for an ideal living environment such as the earth to exist has the same mathematical probability as a tornado to wander through a junk yard - pick up all of the peices of a RV and assemble them randomly before setting it back down on all 4 wheels, another example involves filling the entire state of texas with coins 4 foot deep and having a blind folded man find a specific coin amidst the rest. - this would be evidence of some sort of order or divergence from entropy concerning our planet.
5) External of religion human rights do not exist - the categorical imperative (a philosophical work from the enlightenment) does not work in practice only in theory and humanist organization have tried and failed for YEARS to justify the innate human value external to "consciousness" "IQ" or ability in general. A foundation to which civilization thrives on and only found in judeoabrahamic religion.

m8 i don't think you know how big space is

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/science/cosmic-census-finds-billions-of-planets-that-could-be-like-earth.html

>Astronomers reported that there could be as many as 40 billion habitable Earth-size planets in the galaxy, based on a new analysis of data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft

>One out of every five sunlike stars in the galaxy has a planet the size of Earth circling it in the Goldilocks zone where surface temperatures should be compatible with liquid water, according to a herculean three-year calculation based on data from the Kepler spacecraft


At even half those numbers that's 20 billion earth-like planets in our galaxy, there are 200 billion other galaxies in the known universe (apparently that number is at something like 2 trillion now).

Life very likely isn't as rare as you think it is just by sheer volume of numbers.

But when it comes to people fantasizing about having sex with children, encouraging dangerous sexual acts, salivating over bestiality or encouraging communism (a politically ideology which has killed 100 million people in less than a century).

These people should not only be removed from 4chan but should be psychologically evaluated by professionals or imprisoned if there is a legitimate risk of them acting out there debased fantasies.

There's nothing dangerous about anal sex if you do it properly.

Healthy adults can distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Actually, several leaders killed those people. A political ideology can't do any such thing and killing millions is not part of the ideological tenets of any form of communism, not even Leninism.

>These people should not only be removed from 4chan but should be psychologically evaluated by professionals or imprisoned if there is a legitimate risk of them acting out there debased fantasies.

Fucking weird cultist shit. They're so brainwashed and deluded that they've become stuck in a sphere of ignorance.

You've escaped the sphere, so there's no point trying to get back in because you can't.

Accept the absurdity of life, and enjoy the time that you have. Life is too short and precious for it to be spent on bad ideas like Christianity, or religion. Read philosophy; Socrates, Aristotle, John Stuart Mill, or even Albert Camus will be 10x more helpful than Jesus or Muhammad ever could be.

Nope. Your statement is based upon a presumption that all violence is inherently immoral - when actually all law enforcement and anti-terrorist measure involve violence. I am not advocating PERSONAL violence, however in a government (which by definition is a legitimate source of violence) decides to make such actions and opinions highly stigmatized, watched, or removed I would be IN FAVOR of that.
>a murderer is a murderer
you are essentially stating that murder has some sort of invisible cap of immorality - or rather that the murder of 10 Million is just as wrong as the murder of 30,000. I would disagree, I am not even that big of a fan of Pinochet to begin with but you cannot even begin to compare the death he caused with someone like Lennin or Mao, completely different leagues of damage to a country. You could argue that both are wrong, but it is intellectually dishonest to just call them both "murderous autocrats" full stop.

I wasn't talking about Pinochet, I was talking about religion.

Crusades, Euoprean wars of religion, Caliphates, inquisitions, executions, etc. You name it, they did it...

Why did you both assume I was talking about Pinochet

Pedantic.

Praying when you know in your own heart that God is not real in order to force yourself into thinking that He is real, is lying to yourself.

The negative correlation between IQ and religion is well confirmed by this point, no matter how much this hurts your ass.

Unironicly true.
No true idea of morality may be formed external of a theistic objective framework. Lenin himself declaimed that communism is merely an externison of atheism and without it communism as a concept collapses.

>Nope. Your statement is based upon a presumption that all violence is inherently immoral - when actually all law enforcement and anti-terrorist measure involve violence. I am not advocating PERSONAL violence, however in a government (which by definition is a legitimate source of violence) decides to make such actions and opinions highly stigmatized, watched, or removed I would be IN FAVOR of that.

No, you're advocating for violence against your fellow citizens and then arbitrarily saying that your reasons for doing so are legitimate, whereas they doing the same to protect their own skins would not be.

But they are both just murderous autocrats. Anything beyond that is irrelevant, and the deaths attributed to communist leaders typically involve lumping in a bunch of extra shit like famines, the deaths as a result of revolutionary chaos, or wartime deaths in addition to the deaths they personally oversaw against political opponents; it's fundamentally dishonest.

Besides you're a Christian, sin is sin and they all go to hell.

Also good going on dodging my first question. You're doing pretty good at being an edgy teenager.

Also, while I'm at it, I'd like to point your hilariously contradictory stances here, where you claim that government is an inherently legitimate source of violence, and then claim that the deaths under communist governments are wrong.

You're very obviously an incredibly lazy and childish thinker.

Read Nietzsche, start with Beyond Good and Evil. It will cure your nihilism real fast.

>>2620762
NEETzsche is just dicking around rationalizing away the hard question.

>>2620784
What's the "hard question"?
>>
>>2620762
Is this the best way to start with Nietzsche?
>>
>>2620926
Personally I'd recommend starting at Human, All Too Human, followed by The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil in that order, and then picking at his other works as you see fit. That section and order there should give you the clearest picture of the buildup towards his thoughts as an existentialist.

if there is no greater meaning to life then what exactly is the point of all this suffering? We're just wasting time until we die, and humanity is wasting time until the sun/universe dies and we die with it.

I don't see you crawling out of the woodwork to chastise the local Christians for their relentless shitposting.
