good family?
Isaiah 13:9–16
According to the Bible, was the world created around 6,000 years ago
How can you say this?
but with religion and all the BS that comes with religion
I can’t ever look at them the same way I did pre-Covid.
But my hate for religion comes from the many people I’ve met who are religious and all act in a similar fashion.
....
A lot of people showed their true face during the crazy Covid times. I can’t ever look at them the same way I did pre-Covid.
“I guarantee you you've met more good religious people than bad in your life.”
Disagree. I wish that was true. Have you?? Maybe you don’t know them well and they are “good” on the surface? Mormons are the nicest people on the outside. Just make sure you never go to one of their meetings. Yes, there are absolutely a few great people in my life that are Christians. But my hate for religion comes from the many people I’ve met who are religious and all act in a similar fashion.
>Gaslight - turn it around on the one asking questions ( “satan, ill-intended, straw man, …”) to manipulate and distract.
>Fear-mongering - “it’s a sin, punishment will come, ….”
>generic answer - “(…) is above your understanding, (…) punishes sinners, it’s (…) word”
>Blame the victim - “maybe you didn’t pray enough. You must have sin in your life”
Since Covid my life got a lot easier because my circle of relatives got A LOT SMALLER. Fuck em. Burn in hell :)
I stay away from religion
The government has done to me what I thought never could be done. It has dehumanized the majority of the population to me.
Do you still believe in .... the big bang?

This is the result of lies. People believe lies, and are corrupted. But they (some of them) can still be redeemed. They are victims, to be pitied. That is what humans are, people who need a savior.
I am as well, but I also look forward to eternity
Thought you got the shot?
Must have been some other bitcoin true believer.

Do you still believe in bitcoin, COVID-19, the vax, and the big bang?
Not expecting a cogent answer?
I seriously think it's possible he's dead.
What is your interpretation of the passage, "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

They posted pretty consistently for two years then poof. He did say he'd let you know about his booster. You don't think he forgot his internet promise, do you?
The lesson I get from it, is God is one sadistic fuck and there is no reward in faith. This is a logical conclusion, I'm not being irrational, I'm not misunderstanding it or misinterpreting it - I'm not trying to fit a narrative around my conclusion, I have my conclusion because I have my conclusion based on what God supposedly did to Job.
There's more data capacity in my computer than there is in my brain.

Some have estimated that the smartest most capable among us still only use 10% at best of the capacity of their brain.
And when you find GOD I hope he can show you he is not that guy that threatens you with hell and calls you satan just because you put a genealogical timeline together based on what is written in the Bible. I don’t believe for a second that a god so powerful to create the earth and all of us can’t handle a question about the age of the earth. I rather think he wants us to ask and think instead of blindly follow.

How is your conclusion be based on logic? Are you saying you believe God repayed Job’s faith with evil?

It's a myth. We use all of it, we just don't use all of it all the time. Out body doesn't waste energy maintaining cells it doesn't use. We use every cell in our body, including fat.
For example, people before the flood had longer lives, it would stand to reason

I'm saying that I think of Christianity as a mythology.
I want to drop this.
That’s fine. But I think I know what your problem is, someone once gave you the advice to reject any idea that causes “cognitive dissonance.” What if science and God are compatible?
Richwicks,
I can relate to a lot of what you say about religion and Bible.
“There was no flood. This is a myth.” I never really looked into this. Do you mind elaborating on “there was no flood”. Curious what you found.
Thanks
richwicks says
your conception of god, is incompatible with science.
What is my conception of God?
richwicks says
A literal world-wide flood

The Milky Way is no run-of-the-mill galaxy, according to a new study.
A team of astronomers recently discovered that our spiral-shaped home galaxy is actually too big for its surroundings, Science Alert reported.
The Milky Way is located in a “neighborhood” called the Local Sheet, which is a flat arrangement of galaxies that share similar velocities and are surrounded by empty space called voids.
The team explained that the Local Sheet serves as an example of a cosmological wall and separates the Local Void from the Southern Void. The relationship between the galaxies in the Local Sheet has a strong influence on their behavior, such as their similar velocities relative to the expansion of the Universe.
But the Milky Way appears to be an exception.
In their paper, researchers conducted an analysis using simulations from a project called IllustrisTNG, which models the physical Universe.
They found that, being a billion light years across and containing millions of galaxies, very few galaxies located within a cosmological wall structure are as big as the Milky Way.
The study underscores the importance of considering the local environment when studying our home galaxy, rather than assuming that it is in an average spot in the universe.
The environmental context could also help explain some previously unexplained phenomena, such as the odd arrangement of satellite galaxies around Andromeda and the peculiar lack of them around the Milky Way.
