So People On Facebook Are Going Crazy Over This Analogy To God

[rapbeats]

Yes, there is:

A reason to believe

People are naturally predisposed to use the cognitive abilities we have which make us distinct from other organisms to fill gaps in that cognition through patters we perceive, to give meaning and structure to the world around us. It's not complex. Whether you believe in a God or not is irrelevant to the human element that pre-disposes people to belief and why that is. That's why religious differences aside, most systems of belief have an afterlife, a set of rules and guidelines, and a hierarchical system. People want to believe there's something after life because death is confusing and clashes with our internal cognitive models.

Why do we need to give meaning to the world around us? WHY

WHy were we given that predisposition? i told you there is no answer to that in a psych book. and no psychologist will lie and tell you it is.

actually they do have a ton of rules to be born. if you only knew how many things have to lineup to first conceive a child then let alone deliver a baby and let alone deliver a healthy baby. its more than 1000 rules. now you said conflicting rules. Actually there arent that many rules. those 1000 rules are there to prove you can't keep all of those laws so dont even try. what you should do is try to follow the spirit and let it control your order your steps. vs you trying to be in control of everything and constantly make bad decision after bad decision even when you're trying to do the right thing. If you keep those commandments, which is simple, love God and love thy neighbor this will cover the remaining 1000 rules. But you just dont get that. If you truly Loved God, you would truly love yourself, therefore, you would truly love your neighbor/your family/friends, etc. your neighbor is your family too, as well as your actual next door neighbor. neighboring towns,cities,counties, states, countries. it means love everyone as God loves you. If we did that, we wouldnt have to worry about 1000 rules. But since we rather try to follow some rules we get stuck doing that. its a bad cycle. oh by the way which contradicting rules you speak of?

i assume you're talking about the christian god, and not the one who gave the story to muhammad? or the one who's brother was poseidon?

see the problem is youve exposed yourself as a christian lunatic, so you cant look at this objectively

So I'm an agnostic
I am positive there is no answer to the question of God.

But rapbeats is correct, this analogy is just a metaphor about perception, it is not meant to represent anything factual.

Infants don't even develop the ability to see in color until they're 4-6 months old, they don't begin to process anything other than instinctual responses to stimuli until 6-8 months.

Dude...
This post if yours is analogous to expecting abstract art to obey the laws of physics

Do you believe in life after delivery? Because if not you're gonna be punished instead. Also, you gotta give some tithes, here's a collection plate otherwise...no life after delivery for you. By the way, you're not gay right?

 

[Losttribe]

do the babies have 1,000 conflicting sets of rules to get to life after delivery?

I see what you're saying, but

Thats besides the point,

And that weak pov is How And Why atheist take the L, they have nothing to disprove the science of self and higher intelligence- other than saying "yall got a million different expressions of that "

Haha nice
But this only attacks abrahamic religions

 

[Losttribe]

There are no Gods, only weak minded people who need to believe someone put them here to do something to appease said someone. Religion is the biggest con in human history.

So in your scientific understanding of society and evolution... You actually believe the first religions were a "con" .... Nothing more? Lol.

To me Christianity and Atheism are equally silly.

 

[mrfortune]

naw

as long as theres more than 1 god story, atheists never take the L, because they're in the same boat as all the other religions who dont believe in your religion im in the same boat as a muslim when it comes to christianity. and all 3 of us are in the same boat when it comes to buddhism

if you have some vague concept that there's a higher power that you don't really know what it is, i have no problem with that. but the shythead who quoted me earlier, proved my point by bringing up the bible of course HIS religion is right

Some of The most logical and intelligent men in histoy haven't chosen str8 up atheism for a reason.

You will end up looking as goofy as some spooked out Christian or buddist or whatever

But science and mathematics alone lets us know through quantum physics that the universe at least has a universal consciousness.

So I'm agnostic but religious people are loving this.
Thoughts?

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her, this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Maybe this was one of the best explanations of the concept of GOD.

Damn... i fux with it
