Marxism is destroying every community from the inside. We as western society must protect ourselves against marxist indoctrinations and Islam ideology. Those values tries to control people with fear, shame and violence. Crushing every form of 'The Self, The Individual. They see you nothing more then a slave or a nonbeliever. Because of absent of a better alternative, is Christianity our only barrier to protect ourselves against marixsm and the Islam. Christianity can unite people together as a group with Christian values, values what the western society is build on. Without Christianity the western society as we know it would collapse and marxism and the Islam has room to take its place instead. Don't be foolish to think you can fight those ideologies alone with only believing in yourself. They are united with many and you stand no chance against them alone and neither do you stand a chance against Christianity.

deism: is a philosophical position which posits that a god does not interfere directly with the world. It also rejects revelation as a source of religious knowledge with the conclusion that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of a single creator of the universe

If there is a higher power I wouldn't claim 100% it wouldn't interefere with the world (our world at least) but probably wouldn't.
and I wouldn't say that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of a higher being. But idk,like everyone.
what i know is any organized religion is stupid objectively speaking, not trying to be edgy, although necessary, at least chritendom in western europe, is our root and our foundations.

Just like everyone else on here, I know the world is corrupted beyond belief and it is only going to get worse. During this time we have become so filled with misery and untrust that as a natural defense mechanism we will try out best not to be fooled by anyone or anything ever again. The danger is this kind of one-sided mentality will make you blind just like the people you hate so much.

The reason the world is the way it is right now is simply because of free will. People can not truly love God without it. The more you attempt to find out the truth about God, the more sense everything is going to make. I started off with 0% faith just like you and I thought I had the best arguments against Christianity but none of the shit I was trying to prove actually made anything better for me.

I finally made the decision to give God a proper chance because listening to both sides is simply the intelligent thing to do and I was sick of being confused miserable. If you're as intelligent and mature as you think you are, you will listen to both sides and give them an equal chance.

I strongly advise you to take just baby steps and just visit Christian sites & video channels such as Joyce Meyer Ministries which is my favorite. Go to her youtube channel and type in the video search all the problems you have in life including your trust issues with God and you will find at least 5 different videos dedicated to each one. They are delivered clearly for everyone to understand and by someone who is very real, not stuck up and full of BS.

I respect all of you as I do myself and understand fully why you are questioning things especially in such a fucked up reality like this one. It's because of this that I am desperately wanting to help you all out or at least someone amongst you who will give this a chance.

It's almost 12am here and I need to sleep so I will leave you with this.

The truth is God knows everything about you inside and out. He knows you better than you do. He selected you to begin your life before you were even born.

He chose YOU and he loves YOU more than you can possibly comprehend. All he asks is that you love him back. He has already set a perfect plan for you but has allowed you to make the decision whether you want to walk in it or not because that's how peaceful he is.

Don't you think he deserves at least a tiny bit of your time before it's too late?

God bless you all.

I think we can all agree that mans interpretation of god is obviously not true in any realistic sense. I think "holy scriptures" such as the bible or quaran are just primitive understandings of the world. They've also helped to control/subdue the plebs.
So no, I don't believe in god. And saying "tips fedora" won't make your fairytales true.

God is metaphysical
>>
One of the problems of religion is that God is often explained in a way that makes it seem somehow separate from creation, as if he exists in another reality and reaches into "this" reality in order to exert his influence. This gives rise to questions like "Where did God come from?" This isn't so odd a perspective considering it's how most people view themselves - as individual and isolated entities that "came into" this world from somewhere else and return to somewhere else or cease to be entirely when "our bodies" disintegrate. We make the distinction between "me" and "everything else" where "I" am inside and "the universe" is outside. We only identify as what we immediately recognize to be the self, that is to say the body and the mind (the things that stand out the most within our conscious awareness); the external world seemingly exists outside our scope of experience. So we think of God in the same way, as separate from existence and also from ourselves. Something that came from somewhere else and made us out of something else and put us "here" for whatever reason. We don't think of ourselves as cogs in the entire works of existence. Our sense of separation, or isolation, is so strong that we feel on some level that we're all that matters, and death becomes a most frightening concept. We build and maintain mental images of who we are based on this feeling of isolation that is called the ego. The stronger this sense of self becomes, the more we feel that we exist. When our egos are threatened, we react violently to protect it. After all, if our self-image is dismantled, who are we? To be wrong is to be invalidated, which is to die, which is the worst thing that can ever happen.

We like to fancy ourselves intelligent creatures, but we also like to think that our intelligence somehow exists in isolation. There is an entire structure around our particular existence called the universe. It created us, but we usually don't think of it as intelligent. Like it gave us intelligence without having any of its own. Or a magical being reached in from somewhere else and gave it to us.
The sense of separation is an illusion. The universe doesn't just happen around you, it happens AS you. You are the universe itself, but until you reach beyond your self-image and realize this for yourself, belief is all you'll ever have; a vague feeling that may or may not be true.
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
There is no death, no fear of death and no struggle to survive when you know that all that is, is you. This is moksha, liberation, Nirvana, Heaven.

Judaism is a dead religion. As in the 'believers' are 99% atheist with a few deists.

The God of Catholicism. When one views the past declarations on Jews or Aquinas on immigration, I don't know what /pol ers wouldn't like it.

We're also the only religion to have tons of supernatural miracles like the extraordinary Eucharistic miracles or the Tilma or Fatima or the lives of various saints which are full of miracles. We worked toward a united Europe under one Christian religion until the Protestants cropped up with their nonsense.
I believe in the self-fulfilling, perfect God we have always posited. If there is something, then it would appear true nothing is an impossibility. If this is true, then something is an existence necessary. Our universe does not seem necessary. Therefore, this implies agency and ability to the necessary existence.
>>
>>136944254
God is the collective set of all necessary ("self-evident") logical truths.

Necessary truths have no creator and no point of creation. Hence God is timeless, immutable, and rational. We humans are made in his image in the sense that our minds are capable of rationality, making each one of us a microcosm of God.

All contingent truths about the world ("facts") arise from the interactions of the full set of necessary truths (which collectively are God). As such, all outcomes in a deterministic universe, including the events of your life, are determined by God, as part of a preordained Plan, made according to his Will.

Nothing wrong with genesis or the old testament, but i'd recommend starting with the New Testament first, specifically the 4 Gospels which are Matthew Mark Luke and John - which delivers testimony from 4 different perspectives of the life and teachings, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Book of John is a good starting spot, i know skipping around seems weird, but each Gospel book is standalone.

don't care. My point stands. What 'mistakes' I could make in a blip of time is nothing compared to an eternity of hell. Holding someone accountable for eternity for their insignificant lifetime is unfair.

>>136942212

I'm really not sure how you got any of that from what I said, but let's take the idea of purpose since you brought it up.

Why do anything? See if you're able to so much as conceive of a purpose that isn't ultimately aimed at making you feel enjoyment or satisfaction in one way or another. Take anything you want to achieve or see achieved and ask what the ultimate purpose is. Let's say it's to change the world for the better. What feeling will you have once the desired change is put into effect? What feeling will those who benefit from the changes have? Maybe you'll feel satisfaction from having helped someone else, because satisfying your desire to make somebody else feel better makes you feel better.
Say you want to secure the existence of the species. Why? So everyone can be around to feel glum for all eternity? Or so humanity can continue to be around and feel good about existing? Would you struggle to maintain an existence just for the arbitrary sake of continued existence? Say you succeed in averting some kind of disaster and consequently save humanity. How would you feel about this achievement? Would you have bothered at all if you didn't think you'd feel this way after doing it? Is it all just pure instinct of preservation that doesn't do anyone any good except to prevent annihilation because you got to go on no matter what?
Everyone wants the same thing, to be happy. The difference is how much we decide the world has to change before we can allow ourselves to feel that way. "Look around, things are awful! How can you be happy? It needs to be THIS way. THEN things will be perfect and I can be happy." Then you get into the mindset that the ends justify the means, because everything worthwhile is in the future. But in the end, the motivation is the same. Enjoyment, satisfaction, joy, happiness, positive feelings.

None of this means that you never work to improve the world. It's simply acknowledging what it's all about in the end and that there's no reason to take things so fucking seriously. In the end you die anyway. There's no achievement for achievement's sake. This has nothing to do with sexual indulgences or whatever New Age bullshit you've decided to project onto ancient philosophies.

I experienced a similar thing. Clear divine intervention in my life. People can scoff at personal experiences, but really our personal experience and relationship with God is the most important thing. I don't want to convince anyone of God. I want to convince them to seek God and find for themselves if he exists.

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5

Jesus Christ gave us a promise:

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7-8

He is telling us to seek God and we will find God, to seek Truth and we will find Truth.

Salvation is for him that asks, knowledge is for him that seeks, heaven is for him that knocks at the gate.

First of all, polytheism means the existence of a plurality of totally independent principles, whereas these are secondary aspects of the supreme principle. This lack of understanding is the result of a failure to understand those traditional truths that refer to the divine aspects or attributes.

While individuals may believe this error, in the general case, it reflects the degeneration of a traditional from about to disappear. No tradition whatsoever could ever be polytheist. In particular, any theory of the evolution from polytheism to monotheism (e.g., that of Comte), is the reversal of the normal order of things.

All genuine tradition is monotheistic, that is, it affirms the oneness of the Supreme Principle — or more strictly speaking, “non-duality” — from which everything is derived and on which it entirely depend. Let’s be clear that polytheism and monotheism apply to the religious plane, and Principle is the corresponding idea at the metaphysical level. It goes back to Plato and the Vedas. For modern understanding Rene Guenon.
>>
>>136931850
I don't have to believe, religious people do. That's the only thing keeping religion alive.
It's already been established that religious people are less intelligent for the better part of a century now... not to mention it's also documented that education and belief in a religion are on an inverse relationship, that is to say the more educated you are the less religious you tend to be.

You seem to have missed the part where I said God is a set of self-evident truths and not a supernatural living creature.

If anything, believing made my life so much worse. Back when I did believe in God I also believed in the Devil and demons. Demons and demonic posessions scared the piss out of me. I had a lot of panic attacks and religion was like fuel to the fire which was my OCD. Realized it's all bullshit and I no longer live in fear and I don't have OCD anymore. :)

>Perfect example of the liberal mindset.
The worst smear you can call liberals is "rational"? Well, I'm a liberal now!

>Your cult of rationality is what destroyed Western civilisation.
The opposite is true. The Age of Enlightenment (rejecting the mind manacles of religious tyranny and monarchy) is exactly what freed men to begin creating and inventing again.

If anything, religion is what kept societies trapped in the Iron and Medieval Ages for two millennium.

>everybody wants the samething, to be happy
Happiness is fleeting and circumstantial. It isn't a goal, more so than a possible, if not likely, side effect of Joy. The Joy one can have at any moment, despite dire circumstances, by glorifying God.
>>136949885
>you die there is no achievement
The glorification of God is the achievement, thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

It's funny how you consider "rational" to be a good thing.
>The Age of Enlightenment (rejecting the mind manacles of religious tyranny and monarchy) is exactly what freed men to begin creating and inventing again.
Freed him from what? Belief and strict morality? Created what? Capitalism and global trade? Rationality destroys centuries of folklore and spirituality.

Turin Shroud is stained with the blood of a torture victim, new research shows - supporting the belief that it DOES show the face of Jesus

Experts claim there is blood on the Shroud which is not typical of healthy person
They say it contains creatinine and ferritin, found in those who suffered trauma
The findings contradict claims that the Shroud was painted by Medieval forgers
The shroud is currently being displayed at St John the Baptist Cathedral in Turin

>How are there still atheist 2017 ?

No you have your own problems that you blame on religion.

Do I believe in the classic interpretation of God? No. I do believe in a first mover.

Maybe. But getting rid of religion got rid of my problems.

The Shroud follows the text of the Bible too accurately. It's unlikely the events of Jesus's torture and execution happened exactly as reported in the Bible with nothing added or left out.

The Shroud was made in a medieval reenactment of the execution as depicted in the Bible. A real man was subjected to the torments described in the Bible and his corpse was wrapped in the Shroud.

Placebo effect.

>>136951421

I used the word loosely. To call it joy is indeed more appropriate in this context.
The way is the goal, and the way is God. Time isn't merely space between points where only the points are important

>>136952047
It's already disproven that it's a medieval forgery see pic

Maybe the punishment isn't litteraly the images used to describe it, but something we can't see with our eyes, but still so painfull... Depression, nihilism, suicide or desire of death, doom of society, schizofrenia, narcisism, oppression, solitude, sadness, injustice and so on... at the end of all of that there's a lonely and useless death as our life has been awaiting us, men punished by God.
>>
>>136952240
That image disproves the theory that it was painted. It wasn't painted, it's the authentic burial shroud of a man who was reenacting the death of Christ.

The bits in that image about the carbon dating to the first century AD and the weave used in the Shroud being not found in medieval Europe are just wrong.
>>
>>136952240
But that pic proclaims the Shroud is proof of Jesus -- despite it really not being.

>>136951823
Monotheism has been widely accepted as self-evident for thousands of years. Congrats though. Pull out a Bible and read it sometime, always seek truth.
>>136952098
Hapiness =/= Joy
Joy is attainable at any moment, even great physical pain and life altering peril.
You cannot twist your hindu philosophy to compare.

Only absolute retards question the existence of the historical figure Jesus Christ from Nazarenus. Ask any historian.
>>
>>136933791
It's coming, bong.

The "punishment" is that degenerate societies can't function and will invariably collapse the next time a plague or natural disaster rolls through.

>I used the word God to describe the timeless, immutable, rational foundation of existence. That is what God is.
Then your definition of "god" is a collective noun for concepts - for which we already have perfectly valid names?

You have a good grasp on the nature of your sin, so drop this burn and pick up your cross. Repent of your sin anon, seek God.

i really isn't.
I stop believing in demons = demons no longer scare me. It's not rocket science.
Besides, religion's been causing people to be afraid for ages. That fear has taken many lives. Look at the Salem witch trials.

if it was just a reenacting you would just have bloody sheets and not a face on it

You mean to say your current circumstances are tip-top and you dont need God. Having a foundation of faith is invaluable when tragedy beseeches you.

>First of all, polytheism means the existence of a plurality of totally independent principles, whereas these are secondary aspects of the supreme principle.
Babble. What happens in anthropology is that primitive societies assign spirits to various themes they consider important, spirits of the sun, the wind, the water, the moon, etc. Mimicking their human tribes, the spirits' limited powers are eventually dominated by a single spirit leader, the top of the totem pole. This is nothing more than organic growth of the gods men make.

>No tradition whatsoever could ever be polytheist.
All early religions were polytheist whose traditions lasted for hundreds of years.

>it affirms the oneness of the Supreme Principle — or more strictly speaking, “non-duality” — from which everything is derived
And yet it was not just the monotheist god who created the world, it was all the Semitic gods together. Elohim. Look it up.

>>136953081
The Catholic church has denied the existence of witchcraft since the 1300's.

The Separatists at Salem were eating ergot contaminated bread and were literally tipping. Basically every peasant from that time would freak the fuck out.

If Salem's not good enough, then how about the Spanish Inquisition?
>>
>>136954615
The Spanish inquistion killed ~3000 people over the course of hundreds of years. Most were Jews and Muslims being forced out of freshly reconquista'd Iberia. Or suppressed protestants after the reformations

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition#Witchcraft
>In general the Inquisition maintained a skeptical attitude towards cases of witchcraft, considering it as a mere superstition without any basis.

They're no different than any secular organization suppressing it's political enemies. The difference being here that the Inquisition's body count is much lower than say, the communists.
