Why I'm an atheist

[Trading]

Jesus was dead when some people, many only had met him on dreams or under the effects of some intoxicating substance (including Paul of Tarsus, who had persecuted Christians all his life), decided to write the New Testament.

Christians say that he resuscitated. The bible says he had the hole from the roman lance, but claims that he kept walking around.

I guess it would be too much to ask from Jesus in that situation, that he would still had the presence of mind to write something.

He probably would said "Come on bro, I have this hole here, give me a break... you write something about me".

It would be nice to have something written by him. But I doubt his text would survive the censors of the IV century.

Even the Gospel according to Peter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Peter) was excluded from the Bible.

Well speaking of holes in Jesus, did he not also have holes in the palms of his hands?
Rumor has it that a kind hearted passing by roman, upon hearing Jesus's groans of pain, impaled up there on the cross,
decided to remove the nails that made those holes in his hands......
"No worries bro...I'll get these nails out...I got a claw hammer!"
Jesus replied in a panic...''whoa, WHOA!!...feet first!!!...."

Religitards think their shit don't stink...

They think they are better than everyone else (God's special/chosen people)

They think everyone else is doomed to hell, and certainly not worthy of being treated with common decency or respect

How sad it must be to believe you are inherently superior to anyone based on believing a fairy tale... What the fuck is wrong with people?

Question with regards your username. Do you believe in "Moloch"? ...........or "Vulcan" to ye pagans

I used to believe in God. my grandmother told me a lot about it and read the Bible. but as I grow older, I begin to doubt its existence. more and more often it seems to me that we have nowhere to wait for help, we need to rely only on ourselves. but all the same, that is, it is not God, but some kind of force exists. we just can't investigate and explain it yet

This joke is more effective told IRL, so you can

^^^ There is only one reason why you are an atheist... You simply don't want to accept reality.

It's Sunday. You should be in church.

Freedom of choice of religion is one of the proofs of human rights.  I just hope that one day you will find your faith.  even if you are an atheist if you really use your mind in your daily life, then you will always do positive things (not drinking, stealing, free sex etc.) because it is basically against reason.  Religion only helps humans understand their existence.  I recommend you to watch the P.K movie starring Amir khan.  there is a very deep meaning in the guise of religion.  This film carries a very sensitive theme.

I can always count on a reply from you, bud. Say hi to your invisible imaginary friend for me!

I just wanna share my insights about religion as I grew older. Before, I can say that I really believed on it and I devoted most of my time to please the church as well as God but as I learn and reflect about the things happening in the world, I find it illogical to keep my faith on something that lets the people of the world suffer with injust. I found it logical that it is very impossible to have a scripture that is not revised nor manipulated that was kept clean up until now. As clueless as I am on how the world really began, I am also curious about what is the true religion or was there such thing as true religion.

Okay. Hi, sirazimuth.  So sad that you can't say 'hi' to yourself, being invisible and imaginary. Or is it that you are taking the lockdowns way too seriously? If you are, it matches your handle, seriousmouth. Lol.

The accuracy of the Bible isn't the important thing. Why not? Because you can find all kinds of Bible readers on both sides... believers and unbelievers. In the same way that God uses the Bible reading that Bible readers do to work salvation in some, nobody knows how the Holy Spirit does this... or how the unbelievers resist.

Much of the Bible makes simple sense. Some of it seems contradictory. Bible believers explain some of it away, but much of the Bible is complicated enough that it can't be explained easily. Yet believers keep on believing, and unbelievers remain in unbelief.

Here's the answer. What was the failing of Adam and Eve that brought sin into the world? I mean the real failing, not the simple idea of eating the forbidden fruit. Basically, it was that they believed the snake rather than God. So, since it hinged on belief, God turns it back to us in the form of believing Him now... even if we don't understand exactly what we are believing or how we are doing it.

As Paul and Silas said to the jailer, Acts 16:31:

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

They didn't say "understand and you will be saved." They said "believe."

Hebrews 11:6 says it clearly:

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

As it says further Hebrews 11:13-15:

13All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

So, maintain your faith in God the best way you know how, and trust that He will maintain you in the ways that you can't.

Agreed. And since I've had a couple, I'm gonna bite .....( just like old times bud!)

Who needs accuracy in silly tales about a magic invisible, almighty sky daddy, talking snakes, and a giant arc, floating around in some
mythical world flood with two of every species of animal (even dinosaurs!... lol) onboard, written and made up by ignorant goat herders 2000 years ago?
I mean I find it fantastical that adults of normal intelligence still believe in that nonsense.
My 13 year old stopped believing in Santa Claus, which is a far more plausible story (though still ridiculous) when she turned ten.

The important thing is to have enough smarts to recognize that God exists, simply by looking at nature.

The second thing is to believe that He is talking to you through the words of the Bible.

You do realize that you are not making any counter arguments that destroy his, thus making his statements stands.

Ergo, it shows that you can't even barely defend the "bible" from his logics.

Memo to myself.... I should know better than waste my time posting in god swill bible babble threads starring my good buddy BADecker.

I'm not God. This means that I don't want to destroy your arguments, or seriousmouth's.

For your and his benefit, I bring up the points of what will happen, as written and shown in the Old Testament of the Bible. It's not really my idea to destroy what you two say. It's to give you an opportunity to change your ways as you live life in the view of God. I won't destroy you. But God will if you don't change.

Does it hurt my feelings that you won't take warning? A little, maybe. Eternity is a long time. We need all the companionship that we can get, just to keep each other in joy rather than loneliness while there. But if you are going to obstinately continue in your Godless ways, who would want you with us in Heaven? Certainly not I. And God wouldn't, either.

The way you are, it isn't even nice knowing you for a little while here. But I'm not the one you will have to answer to. So, enjoy yourselves mocking God. It's all the enjoyment you will get. And it will only last the hundred years, or so, that you might live in this life. Then Hell, for eternity.

So, change, and live an eternal life of love and joy with God and us in Heaven, rather than existing in pain in Hell for all eternity.

[sirazimuth]

Living with you and your imaginary friend for eternity!??
Good lord!! Just thinking of that makes me cringe.
It certainly doesn't sound like anything I'd be remotely interested in, thank you.

......
....., rather than existing in pain in Hell for all eternity.

Well, that's no worse than option 1 really...


Hey bud, that reminds me, I got a great jesus joke! (on topic because its Why I'm an atheist...)

So Jesus walks into a bar. He gives the bartender 3 nails
 and asks  “Can you put me up for the night?”.....

(alternate punchline...        ...and says "I want to get hammered")

pada boom, pshhhh.................

I just need to open this thread to start laughing. From the things I read from the believers, but also from the non-believers.

I already wrote that Christians walking around with crosses with Jesus nailed is to the very least disrespectful. People were burned alive or dug from the grave and burned after dead for much less than that.

Believers have more reasons to become atheist.

Science says they will sleep better, without the need to constantly having nightmares, thinking on burning on hell because of using a condom.

But you forgot the part that Jesus arose from death.

If you have a little scientist in you, you know that body systems are extremely complex in operation. In fact, they are so complex that they couldn't have happened by evolution, and anybody who believes evolution simply has a religion.

In addition, we take all our machines from the machines in nature. Machines have makers. So, if you don't like the idea of God, you must stay away from the subject as much as you can. But here you are, admitting to the existence and power of God while trying to suggest that God doesn't exist.

Do you really think that keeping your mind so muddled is going to keep God from seeing what you are really about?
