You have people with access to all the knowledge in the world today that are still gullible idiots. But we're supposed to take the accounts of these "witnesses" as fact as if they were equipped to scientifically verify the validity of these miracles :stopitslime:
With NO EVIDENCE! Like….we have Buddhas body laid up in the cut right now and that was 1500 years ago, but apparently Jesus vanished into thin air after he came out of a cave following crucifixion, I’m good breh

Bad people get away with bad shyt all the time.
I'd imagine there's a lot of sociopaths in the clerical class because they know they can a) trick these gullible people into believing and doing whatever they want b) if they ever get caught doing fukked up shyt, forgiveness is inherently built into the system so they can avoid any repercussions or consequences while on earth, delaying any punishment to some supposed eternal judge.

I mean, ironically, the only real reason I've ever had to potentially believe in any supernatural entity, is because a lot of Christianity throughout time looks suspiciously demonic :demonic: , burning people alive, rampant pedophile rings, death cults etc. and part of me thinks the only way all that shyt could've gone down is if some sort of devil was involved. :mjlol:

But that's essentially just the gnostic position, that the earth was created by an imperfect 'demiurge' who basically fukked up when creating earth, which is why there's so much suffering. The only religious position whose tenants I've read and gone :ehh: "damn maybe, that makes a lot more sense."

its because the tree of the knowledge of good and evil only results in death

consider this

the word of God is like seed
. If you took the entire bible as seed for your understanding of existence which passages would you lean on to develop your reality and understanding of God?

this in essence is the quandary of all abrahamists...

This is why its so important to really consider the word of God as alive and not just something dead or a tool used and discarded (the word is risen)

if you read the Bible ONLY at its surface value then you have already made a massive mistake.

Ask yourself this, if man can write what will happen to God, then by inverse how would God view this activity with regards to the words of man?

The gnostics are interesting. Cause basically how would you know the devil is the evil one if it’s truly that powerful?

@O Fenômeno

What do you believe is the benefit to an atheist taking a "chance" and believing? What do you think they'd get out of it that's missing from their life? What's the benefit in believing in the afterlife and not putting all of one's energy into the life they have now? What's the benefit in believing in the existence of a God that controls everything?
I believe GOD will lead them to perhaps a fulfilling life

May give them purpose in this life that they could perhaps be missing.

God has done amazing things on my life...though my life has not been without trials and sadness..but that's life.

But why would I not want to share something that I find amazing.

So god makes people without purpose on purpose but they need to find their own purpose? Against gods purpose?

if god has done all this dope shyt for you then you’ve done nothing, right?

Faith is the belief in things unseen or so I've been told.:manny:

I posed my question to stir up healthy talk..hoping to learn something maybe.

But of course that one dude comes in with an agenda to perhaps look smarter than believers or whatever his agenda is..

Word, how about April 29th 2019?

That was my mom's birthday so, Roast Chicken, Sweet Corn w/Carrots and Sparkling water due to diet restrictions.​

Also, you really can't compare an oral tradition to a game of telephone since the object of the game is to obfuscate what's being stated while oral traditions' purpose is to preserve it.

Hell, I still know all the words to several hip-hop songs from the 80's.​
