Neil deGrasse Tyson’s 20-Minute TAKEDOWN of Christianity

[2 Up 2 Down]

How is it not true….? Name me a non religious movement that battled white supremacy and made advancements….

 

[Elim Garak]

Believe whatever you want. As long as you aren't aligning with these Christian Nationalist I really don't care at this point. They are the real enemy when it comes to matters of religion.

I'm atheist-agnostic.......so I'm not even biased against what buddy is saying. But "Black Panthers did more for progress than the black Christian and Muslims groups like SCLC & NoI"

 

[Brandsdale]

I believe in God and pray to Jesus all day. However I acknowledge i can't prove them.

That's the ego and delusion believers display. No matter what you believe, you can't prove it. There's no evidence for any divinity. Can't meet around that.

So why try? Just keep your beliefs private and stop trying to convince people with no evidence. That's makes you look silly.

lol I think this is where I pretty much stand in regards to religion

The "what" or "where" are for creatures.

The Mighty Penguin created the "what", the "where" and the "how". They are all created by The Mighty Penguin.

The "what" imply the form, imply the body that has a beginning and an end. Every "what", that you can imagine have a form. The Mighty Penguin doesn’t have any kind of form that we know.

The Mighty Penguin doesn't incarnate himself in his creation. He's not a body.

The "where" imply the location, time and space. The Mighty Penguin created time and space, He's not localized "anywhere".

Same thing for the "how". It imply, form, and The Mighty Penguin created form. He's not incarnated in any kind form possible.

The light, the darkness, the localization, are all creation of The Mighty Penguin. He's unique and existed before anything was created.

Our simple mind just cannot comprehend it. No matter what kind of image or picture we have in our head. It has form, colour etc. all of these things are creation by The Mighty Penguin but he doesn't "look" like anything we can picture in our mind.

The Mighty Penguin is One, he's Unique and Indivisible;
He has never had offspring, nor was He born

There you go.

You're implying that God is a person. In Christianity, the Father is symbolic for man coming before woman or chicken before an egg but does not imply that God is literally a man or a woman.

The God of the Bible was clearly meant to take on aspects of Man. He gets jealous, he gets angry, he takes revenge and feels love and it’s even stated that Man is created in his image. Of course this God was the creation o desert nomads and basic agricultural farmers so of course they never thought that far ahead of what a Gods personality would be who created space and time. Their problems were localized and in order for a God to be serviceable had to take on aspects of the people he lords over.


Because we actually understand quantum mechanics and understand how vast the universe scientists have up with a God that’s more dispassionate that more accurately reflects the relationships in our universe. That’s where simulation hypothesis comes from.


I think that those who state God is some ethereal shapeless formless being not meant to be understood by man and has designs outside our comprehension are taking a modernistic approach to God that was never intended to be so in the original literature.

Gods not a man dawg. It's literally stated over and over again.

Spoiler: Another biblical rant/apologies.

The name Aba or father refers to the symbolism of the first and head of the household not the actual being of a physical man.

Matterfact in his description, in Numbers, Moses had to hide behind a rock and turn his back to him because he would die if he saw him. Then he came from mount Sinai glowing just from being in his presence. He's basically light.

Revelations describes his voice as sounding like a multitude of many waters which I believe but am not sure if man (in the flesh) cannot survive from hearing his real voice from what I read. John wrote this in revelation but it was from a dream where everything was symbolic. They were telling him to write it down as he was having the visions. So he technically was not personally hearing or seeing God but the prophecy of when it will happen in symbolism.

In the Egyptian stories, they call him Ptah. Ptah is the word which spoke life and created Heru, Osiris and Isis (Their version of the holy trinity).

Man was created in his image, yes. But its referring to in Jesus image which is the son. God the father is not a man though. God is a trinity of 3 in Christianity (Father, son, holy spirit). The holy spirit is what resides in you. Which according to Christianity, no one ever really dies. They just revert to one side or the other in spirit.

In Christianity, he created his son to establish new rule separate from Judaic laws and practices because them nıggas were corrupt in the new testament, selling and making profits off of goats and sheep's and shıt for sacrifice/sin while being hypocrites of the religious law themselves but enforcing it in the way similar to how cacs and conservatives use it now.

Now when Jesus came, they denied he was Him because they were complacent in their rituals and customs. That's the backstory. The son was also mentioned in Isaiah and other parts of the old testament and it's believed he was the one in the garden of eden in Genesis. Notice God said let "us" make man in our image not "my" image referring to himself because that is impossible.

Religion and science can co-exist without canceling one another.

My bad. I've been studying this religion shıt and spirituality outside of just mine for over a decade combined with my NDE in 2016 so I'm just ranting.

Religion and science can co-exist without canceling one another.

Ezekiel 1:26-28 "Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.”

Revelation 1:14-16 “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”




That’s a humanoid being. That’s not a mistake either as Angels are described as floating spinning eyeballs with dozens of wings.

Dudes sitting down on a throne.




Again this still doesn’t answer why God has human emotions. Why would an eternal being that can do an anything and be anything at any point in time and is experience past present and future all at once feel love, anger and jealousy? These are primal instincts that we use to survive day to day life and cohabitate with others. Why would a supernatural being not bound by space and time and supposedly had the sun coming out of its face need to feel anything at all?

That’s a good point. Hellenic influence turns God into Zeus sitting on a throne holding symbols of his power in each hand. Early Judaism he’s a presence that can take form when necessary but doesn’t have a set appearance.
