Life is absurd. Lean into it.
meanwhile it is you sitting in the void of belief with no answers![]()
The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.

If we have free will, we're all welcome to interpret in whatever way we want.is it absurd though?
You bring up the Bible but even that should lead you to the realization that God either isn’t real or not God in the traditional religious sense. As in, he’s not some benevolent magical man in the sky who loves you and listens to your prayers. Infact if god exists in some form he’s(or it’s) likely completely indifferent to humanity, your prayers and faith mean jack shyt to him.God created the laws of the universe, and the spiritual world is far more complex than what religion typically explores. Yes, a church exists, but remember—it is a man-made structure that points to God, not God itself. If you read the Bible, children have always suffered, and there are consequences to that on a universal level.
I’m not trying to make you believe anything—your life is your own. But even if believing in God works as a placebo, many people have found direction when they couldn’t figure out the answers on their own, pushing themselves toward a better life.
As I’ve said before, souls come and go constantly. We are here to experience different aspects of life—both positive and negative—to enhance our spiritual growth.
I know plenty of people who have said by gods grace I’m alive and in a better situation. My homies mother was diagnosed with cancer last year and that man prayed his ass off for her and now she is in remission. He is a god fearing individual and I’m not trying to make you believe anything but I know if you said this to him there’s no way you could convince him otherwise. A good chunk of people on the western side of the world do not care to have a relationship with god. So why would God care if you don’t care to have relationship with him. You are free to live your life without belief in him.You bring up the Bible but even that should lead you to the realization that God either isn’t real or not God in the traditional religious sense.

You can look at the Bible and see it’s full of wonders, constant interactions with god (both good and bad), miracles, healings, resurrections, angels/demons, blights etc
It literally reads like a fairy tale. And I guarantee you and everyone you know have not experienced any of that. If god truly cared about humans and our souls it would be very simple to reveal himself (like he did in the Bible CONSTANTLY) and the world would be significantly better off. But here we are…nothing but ancient fairy tales and blind faith.
Imagine if I could snap a picture of it on my Pixel 8? We have the technology to help him prove his existence. But he watching Angel Reese in the shower.My question would be why did God speak to man at a time when they were basically evolved cavemen, and now that we have the power to pollute the earth to extinction and launch missiles to other planets, God is nowhere to be found and he speaks to no one
Were we abandoned?
Does every planet have a god and ours is absent?

I never believed in the fairytale genie God that I was told to believe in as a child. The idea that God is some entity that fixes all wrongs as long as you asked, seemed to be even too far fetched for my young brain to understand.
Getting older and indoctrinated through Christianity, the idea became more relatable but I never saw it reflected in real-time
Always, I believed everything was done by design. From humanities successes to the strife we faced daily. It was all designed to be this way then redesigned through human oppression. I believe trying to understand what came before human's oppression will always remain a mystery to because our creator never gave us that information. Even then doing so would be pointless as our world is always changing and moving.
I do believe some aspects of the Christian belief system are somewhat righteous or divine in nature. The ability to resist temptation being one of them, which is at the core of humanity's corruption. However, at the end of the day, I try to see the world as it is and operate as such. In my mind, every move I make is divine.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
