so im pretty sure there's a god or something but how do you know anything about them ?
i don't see any reason to believe in one religion/belief system than another
Which caveman religion do you like most, take your bets ladies and gentlemen.

>i don't see any reason to believe in one religion/belief system than another
Because Truth is subjective and eternal security isn't something to take lightly. It's foolish to have a plan for your life, but ignore what comes after on the off chance it's bleak nothingness.
Think of each religious text as their interpretation of "something" they don't understand and call it god.
>>19464198
first of all, we must recognize that god / religion are entirely man-made ideas
just let that sink into to your ape-man brain
if there is such a thing as a god/creator, man has no clue what it really is or how to describe it in human language, and actually would not even be capable of understanding it or describing it

Take gnosticism in consideration, it is possible that what you want to worship is evil and wants to destroy you.

the biggest new age revival religion that's sweeping the conspiracy boards: gnosticism
just as much, if not less concrete evidence to believe as the other Abrahamic religions

gnosticism isn't New Age at all, dumb fuck
>>19466473
>concrete evidence
there is no "evidence" for any of mans ideas of god or his religious beliefs
and a person or place named in the bible that has been shown to actually exist in historic times is not "evidence" of god or any other religious claims
>>19466473
>new age
There's nothing new age about gnosticism, it predates christianity.
>>19466673
I think anon is referring to the watered down, misconceived, and poor interpretation of Gnosticism in the new age currents.

>watered down, misconceived, and poor interpretation
How do you know this? Are you a time traveller?

No, I'm observant. I'm talking about the rift between the people who actually bother to learn about Gnosticism and new age trends which like to randomly quote out of context dogma.
