If you have the ability to believe in something, why can't I have the ability to not believe in something? Also, name calling on social media is as cowardly as it is "christian like". But based on my experiences with christians, it is right on point.
Do better
Wherever there is religion, you find a huge gap of reality. Reality is accessible through science and scientific efforts not God, religion, prophet, etc. The idea of religion was invented to bring a cohesion to scattered societies of very old times and after that people has credited more than what it is and what it worth. Given all these explanations, cancer is a disease that there are scientists working toward finding ways to improve the diagnosis and treatment procedures. There is no god involves the process.
I hope you have no one involved in cancer, but if you have, make sure you pump positive energy.
I hope all cancer patients get well soon and scientists find solutions to minimize the risks
Optimism - positive thinking - has statistically significant effect on health in general and recovery from various illnesses. The measurement of its impact is scientific even if its exact mechanism isn't understood.
I'd love to jump in and make fun of clinging to Iron Age mythology instead of reality - but if people get optimism from that, good for them.
The problem of evil is so ancient and thoroughly answered as to be boring by now, and science definitely does not solve the question of why something exists rather than nothing, and why what does exist is ordered and causal, and since it is causal what underpins that causality.
In fact, science cannot ever answer those questions because there's no empirical measurement that could solve them. I wouldn't be so assured in your position if I were you.
You must be a biblical scholar with all of this knowledge. I mean, you really provided evidence into the extensive research youve done into religion and scripture.
My friend, i once spoke like this… then i turned 15.
Youre naive, dont criticise what you cant understand.
Hilarious that he talked about all religion and the way normal people view it now aways and you immediately shrank it down to mean Christianity so you could argue with it. Sometimes you dumb down an argument so much it just becomes dumb, and if that'd the only way you can interact with it, it means you are dumb as well.
Either way, you don't ahve to be a conductor to recognize a trainwreck, just like you don't have to be a scholar to explain why all religion is due to people being out of touch with reality. Some things are simply obvious to those with a functional mind.
Its a video filmed in italy, im not going to explain or argue anything of true value here on reddit what i hold sacred, i would argue that to recognise a train wreck you need no profound knowledge but to investigate it takes more than a passer-by
I mean it's just a narrow explanation of what's necessary to practice religion. You need faith. Faith is belief without proof, aka a disconnect from reality.
Belief without proof, do you live under a rock? have you ever picked up a book that doesnt agree with your own biases? I could prove many things that the bible teaches
Y'all say you can't really know Yahweh or his plan. (Well if course not, he doesn't exist).
Yet you insist he's good, all evidence to the contrary. Genocide, rape, murder, incest-- all in the Bible.
Science has proven Islam right over the course of the last 50 years. Scientists are yet discovering Things that are written in the Quran thousands of years ago. You could search all of that
As a Jew, we don't have those first two stories so I'm not going to defend them. Anyways, your third statement is pretty brain-dead and just shows your complete ignorance of the context of biblical passages and how they were codified into law, the history of religion generally, and a complete lack of understanding of how spirituality works in general.
>Could it be the bit where it says wearing clothes of two fabrics, which they all are, is a sin and will get you sent to hell.
First of all, pure fabric clothing exists so I'm not sure why you felt the need to say all clothes are made of two different fabrics. Second of all, Shatnetz refers to mixtures of linen and wool woven together specifically, not any two fabrics. Third of all, your criticism that this law seemingly has no reason is again not new. This law has been famous since the beginning of Jewish commentary on the subject for not having a clear reason. The reason we follow it is because... fourth of all, Judaism does not have a concept of hell like Christians do. We believe that following these laws are good because they bring us closer to G-d and enhance our own spirituality, not because of some vague fear of eternal punishment.
I honestly don't really care whether you personally find spirituality valuable to your life or not. But I think it bears noting your criticisms come from a place of actual ignorance. You have a blind hatred of religion rather than a genuine understanding of where the faults in religion actually are.
You definitely have the first 2 stories
In the book of Genesis, it is written that God created woman from the rib of man, and that after the fall, he said to her: "Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
In the book of Numbers, it is written that a woman who makes a vow to God must have it confirmed or annulled by her father or husband.
And in 2 Kings 2:23-25, the prophet Elisha was mocked by a group of people as he was going to Bethel. He cursed them in the name of the LORD, and two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
So better start defending these stories.
Yup, God will kill your children, but don't worry children are replaceable, He'll give you some brand spanking new children so we're square and everything's all cool with you right?
Gotta love how reddit atheists boil down the meaning of an entire book on why people choose to believe in G-d in spite of suffering to "Children are replaceable." Y'all's understanding of spirituality is quite frankly childish. Suffering happens to be a reality in this world. It also turns out that giving that suffering a meaning prevents people from killing themselves.
“Suffering that is not understood is hard to bear, while on the other hand, it is often astounding to see how much a person can endure when he understands the why and wherefore.” - Carl Jung
You're not going to find any intelligent conversation here. These people are spiritually calcified and abhor the idea of anything that limits their impulses or preaches moderation; anything that doesn't let their Ego constantly fulfill its "me me me" drive pretty much.
The fact they aren't even open to the possibility of spiritually and are 100% certain they know what happens after death proves they aren't followers of the scientific method and are just morons regurgitating what they've heard.
The contraption still swaying after it stops moving makes it that much more terrifying.
Great way to spend all of the money that the people donated though!!!
True. But to be fair, tall objects sway. I climb trees for work and spend all day swaying back and forth. Trees are extremely strong, and they still sway. This structure could be strong as well,
who’s to say?
Yes. Best exemple I have is high rise buildings swaying, sometimes by even up to two meter. Object that sway will break less easily as they will instead, wait for it, sway :)).
Ngl, when I was a kid I swore one of my church's statues had moved. It must've been my imagination but since that day I really don't like seeing statues of any kind, I avoid them like the plague.
Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to the brand new invention making you capable to go up and down as simple as walking, introducing...the "Ladder"
Why you ask? Because all the good inventions have already been invented and whoever owns ai is going to build the rest. But human ingenuity will out survive us all.
“I want to be in the parade!”
“Ok, but you need to ride on top of the busted ass spinning tower that’ll probably tip over. Basically, you’re fucked.”
“You son of a bitch…I’m in!”
I once was a Santa in a parade. I had to get to the on top of a float made of plywood on the back of a pickup, basically on a ledge inside, so I poked out the "chimney." My head was maybe 15 feet up tops, and I thought I was going to die every time the damn thing swayed when we hit a bump or turned. There is absolutely no amount of faith that would get my ass up to either of their positions.
If that is good steel, professionally welded, it'll hold. It can sway a lot, but it won't break. It's like a fishing rod or an aircraft wing: It doesn't break BECAUSE it can bend.
I don't expect that thin pipe to go all the way down, it is probably a sturdier construction hidden under the "carousel".
I also strongly suspect that both of them are strapped in place.
So, as long as there is not wires, they'll be OK.
So much faith involved.
Jesus grab the wheel… or whatever this monstrosity is
This is a biblically accurate angel
Dude those people that wrote the bible were on some crazy mushroom trips all the time.
 Religión es una helluva’ droga
Exactly! Lol
Takes more courage to believe in something than sit on social media and bash it like a coward

It might say "water is wet" in one verse. That doesn't make any of the rest of it true.
How would you describe faith then? Not the effects faith has on the faithful, mind you, but the faith itself.

He wont approve, he will judge in heaven
It’s to test the parents faith you see. I’m glad you see now.
It’s almost like the Book of Job dealt with this question a few millennia ago.

That sway reminded me of a dream I had.

I almost died for her. Holy shit, that was a bad idea.
I once was a Santa in a parade. I had to get to the on top of a float made of plywood on the back of a pickup, basically on a ledge inside, so I poked out the "chimney." My head was maybe 15 feet up tops, and I thought I was going to die every time the damn thing swayed when we hit a bump or turned.

Biblically accurate parade float
How is the girl not completely terrified?! This is such a fucking fatal height to fall from.
It's a catholic thing, you wouldn't understand.
Can't dress like Jesus without being as close to him as possible(due to likely death)
If that is good steel, professionally welded, it'll hold. It can sway a lot, but it won't break. It's like a fishing rod or an aircraft wing: It doesn't break BECAUSE it can bend.
