You're cool with science until science starts looking into what you believe, then you get tight
breh it just boils down to faith. They laugh because we have faith in a God they can't see or touch, yet they go on a piece of metal that flies 30,000 feet in the air and have faith that the mechanic tightened the right bolts properly and was not in a rush to go home to not-partake in no-fap march
see you in the cosmos thread next sundayWhats the problem?

Faith is belief in the lack of evidence.
Trust is believe based on repeated evidence.
Faith in a working airline is not trust in a working airline.

Oh the irony.
What's ironic about it?
implying any of that bullshyt is real and you have tangible evidence of its existence
Yea, humanity's nature and existence. Or did concepts love, justice, and punishing evil, come from a bunch of random chemicals?

If you question the existence of God, it's a strong possibly you're incompetent, brainwashed, or looking for an excuse to do some stuff that you know is wrong but are trying to rationalize by rejecting God.
I just don't understand how people can say their religion is the definitive way to live. Im sure the ancient Greeks faith in Olympus was just as strong as the Christians/Muslims/Jews of today. And if i grew up Muslim wouldn't i most likely live by those values and principles.
Then the fact that the story of Jesus has numerous similarities to religions of the past (Horace is an example i think) just doesnt sit well with me and i was brought up in the christian church. Not trying to shyt on anyone's beliefs but looking at the concept of religion objectively most things don't add up.

No, I'm telling you God instilled them in His creation which is why everyone knows about these types of things. We were made in God's image and likeness which means God meant for humanity to reflect His character on Earth. God is about love, punishing wickedness, and justice. That's why we promoted those same qualities. We don't even need to bring up Heaven or Hell. Bottom line, sin leads to malfunctioning in the long term, not liberation.

We were all born lacking belief.
And you dont have to believe in God to take personal responsibility
Wouldn't me using God to excuse my wrong doings be looking for excuses to rationalize them?
Since I question the validity of a God because I grew up without religion means im probably incompetent or brainwashed? Lol
W.e im out this thread, this is exactly why i dont fukk with staunch athiests or religious folks. The name calling and unwillingness to try and understand both sides is ridiculous.

The concept of love can be seen exhibited in paleolithic clans. Mothers nurturing young, fathers protecting a family from harm. I personally think love is just a metaphor for just one of the motivational triads of survival. justice and punishing evil was necessary in and social sect. Either by death or ostracism, which can be both detrimental to someone(death obviously lol). Primates turn those who violate the order into outcasts, where they'll usually die soon afterward.
We crave and need social interaction or else our brains cant function at optimal levels. Again, evidence supports this, well before introduction of any biblical era. So yea, concepts like love and justice etc actually do stem from "random chemicals"
I, personally like to think of myself as a man of science, but dont take this as a dismissal of religion. I understand why folk need religion. Some people need a code or set of rules to follow in order to have direction in their lives. A person without a purpose usually feels worthless/depressed. The seemingly unconditional love felt by like-minded practitioners of religion or any group of any kind is remarkable feeling and can do great things for people.
I feel like there's a way for both sides to get along despite fundamental philosophical differences. Just gotta be willing to actually meet in the middle with an open mind. You wont change anyones mind, but a lil understanding can go a very long way. If not, these infallibility contests will continue ad infinitum
