At what age did you realize religion was bullshit? 12 here

The entirety of Genesis should be taken as a good story and nothing more. There is nothing factual about the creation story. It's quite literally Jewish oral tradition and shouldn't have been included.

I wasn't born into a religion. I started going by myself recently. Its nice as a social gathering. The segments where the pastor teaches us about self improvement are nice but it gets pretty retarded when we get to the biblical stuff. The pastor paraphrases and leaves out all of the whacky shit that he clearly wants us to ignore.

I like the new testament. The old testament seems to be a collection of stories justifying Jewish conquest and crimes.

Modern American protestants are little more than charlatans who preach that Jews are the chosen of God and that God will bless you with riches if you just believe hard enough... oh and make sure to tithe your %10 so we can send donations to Israel.

Yeah it pretty much is. There is a lot of wisdom to be found in Proverbs though.

I know I'm going to be called a lying shill for this but my pastor told me that he supports Trump because of his support of Israel.

It must suck being a brainlet, doesn’t it user?

>he reads the old testament

that's the jewish part user

Bruh. This is just called being a total fucking boomer desu

The bluepill is a redpill.

Epically rekt, amirite?

That’s the jewish part. The Bible starts at Matthew with the gospels of Jesus christ

If that is your logical conclusion that there is no existence after death what are you afraid of? fear and suffering can only persist with continued existence.
It's an irrational fear since you already have everything "figured out". The only thing scary about dying is dying slowly and painfully like living with a debilitating or unknown disease and slowly growing weaker and weaker trying to hold on to life.

It took me a while to understand God and the universe. I don't understand how people can think the concept of God is preposterous and never question how existence of anything is even possible to begin with. The fact infinity is real and there is anything here at all is an unexplained miracle especially when you learn about how in our current understanding of science all the odds are stacked against existence being possible.

1. Where is all the anti-matter that should have been created in equal proportions to matter than when comes into contact with out matter they are both vaporized and converted into energy.
2. finely balanced ecosystems with bugs like the stick bug. Ah yes evolution that takes so long to happen wouldn't a mutation likely never occur before everything got wiped out and the scale tilts.
Doesn't add up. Science isn't a replacement for spirituality, scientists don't know what 95 to 98% of the universe is even made of (dark matter, dark energy)... The universe is accelerating after the big bang not slowing down. Where is the energy coming from? from outside the container. Imagine trying to explain to someone inside the container especially at such early primitive times something completely beyond them. Parables are a good way to share the values and general takeaway.

When you read it literally, yes it doesn't make sense. If you inquire on the metaphors and imagery then there's a lot of wisdom in the bible.

If you want the best possible evidence for the afterlife, you have to look at NDE's, specifically the good ones where the heart has stopped, and the brain shows no EEG readings, making conscious thought impossible (according to what we believe to be true about the brain and consciousness). Cases like Pam Reynolds. Though there are definitely attempted explanations by skeptics (though many of them aren't skeptics, they are just deniers), they all fall flat, to the point where they refuse to believe it to the point where their final claim is that not only is the patient lying, but the doctors are in on it and are lying as well.

Another interesting study to look into is the AWARE study that ended in 2014. The AWARE2 study is currently ongoing. It's stated as a study to study consciousness upon cardiac arrest, but has other factors in it that allow for near irrefutable evidence that conscious thought doesn't stop when the brain stops.

dude, the whole premise is that their loving god created this planet as a fucking sim city experiment where if you aren't convinced enough by his existence to worship you he has you tortured for eternity. it's the dumbest shit imaginable.

What are you 10? Welcome to the real world.

I want to send my kids to catholic school because public school kids are wretched cretins but god is not real so it's all a farce

Ill also note that in my many readings and research, a strong commonality is that earth is regarded as not being very important. Even when people first see themselves outside of their body, there's never any strong reaction of wanting to go back. It's just more of a "whew, fuck, I'm glad I'm out of that shitty meatsuit". The thing that's regarded as being important is just how you treat others. That's literally it. Everything you work for, everything you learned, everything you built. All worthless and meaningless. Giving a stranger a hug when they need it is more meaningful to God than anything else you've accomplished in your life.

But again, these are anecdotes, so you can't take them for their word, but it's still interesting.

had my own personal NDE. Could see and hear the TV going but everything wasn't clear and there was background 'pressure' ambient noise you could also feel if that makes sense. light and sound was kind of blury and more like a fluid than normal "solid" sight.

When I awoke my head was on pillow unable to really turn but I remember looking at the tv and left over at a window. So I was able to see shit from the real world while unable to control my body. When you are in SP like state you control a "dream body" it feels like you are moving arms and legs but nothing actually moves. trust me though when someone/something was reaching towards me trying to grab me a different time I grabbed them and felt it with the dream arms. shits real and we live in a world we know nothing about and the real truth is suppressed.

The bible is the story of people who survived the comet impact 12000 years ago.

Not all the animals dumbass. Just two of each species that was around at the time.

I remember watching the christian call in show that also reports world news can't remember them.

Some guy had a big fat beaner wife called in and said his local church didn't approve of him for marrying out of his own race and shit and asked what he should do. Pat just told him to go to another church but that's not important. The fact is that guys local church was based and sent that race traitor packing along with his XXL burrito. I'm sure more of them are out there too.

you forgot to mention the talking donkey, the sun moving backward, the guy offering up his daughter as human sacrifice, god flying around in a flying saucer, etc.

You sound like a 14-year-old New Atheist.

While interesting, that's not a NDE, as you weren't near death, and NDE's are on a point scale with needed criteria in order to be considered an NDE. NDE's are extraordinarily more "real" where people report their sight is more clear than it is in real life, their mental clarity is crystal clear, and anything they hear is also extremely clear. Getting into a state where you're hallucinating is usually also accompanied by disorientation, confusion, and where everything, sound and vision, aren't clear.

No you would be nihilistic and selfish and fuck everyone else over as long as you can consume all your desires.
Men of God are already against the modern plight that is no-justice, foreign and special interests government policy and big tech companies doing whatever they want, whenever they want with absolutely no consequences. They also defend each other and push back against the night.

>Religion is a cope mechanism meant to keep people in place. You would say fuck you society when you realize god is not real and when you die your dead


This is pretty much exclusively said by atheists who themselves would only believe in a God under that pretense, and they can't understand why anyone would believe in a God otherwise, just because they personally can't see why. It's pretty much only said by people with no insight into other people.

learn the difference between monism and dualism in ontology and then reread the bible

Science isnt a replacement of spirituality, it's a supplement for it. Science is the observation and study of the beautiful life that God has given us.

Ok then some form of remote viewing maybe. my SP isn't hallucinations as confirmed by the one where i saw the actual room while eyes were closed. I have woken up another time with so much dread/fear and moved a chair before and also had dreams that predicted future events (3 for 3 specific events in one day) in an indirect but accurate fashion.

It's all real. Also God is real, information was given to a pastor of mine about me I shared with no one and he was saying it and asking the person to come forward. He didn't even know it was me, only God did. Beg for forgiveness and change your life before it's too late and don't leave affairs in a sloppy or unsettled state to fester go and make things right.

I think you seem to forget the actual purpose of religion. if you actually read a lot of the text and the deeper meaning of what the bible says you would come to the conclusion that the bible and religion inst necessarily about god himself or an afterlife. its about gaining faith in not only yourself but up to someone who you could seek comfort and reasoning with. thats why churches talk about faith and hope a majority of the time and interpreting deeper meaning behind the text with its symbolism, meaning. its like looking up to someone for inspiration or goals in life.

>Science is the observation and study of the beautiful life that God has given us.
Yes it is and true science is about observation and learning about this world. But there are plenty of subversive evil people using it as a tool against God.

When "modern science" is arguing about things they cannot ever prove such as multiple universes existing or not. You cannot observe them and they do exist, heaven and hell are an example of places outside of this universe that are real. It's quite stupid they will say the idea of heven is a silly fairy tale and then continue on talking about how infinite universes can exist with completely different laws of physics unimaginable. I think they are just slowly discovering God except with different language because they have been primed against God. They think they are smarter than they actually are.

>if you aren't convinced
>He didn't read the Pauline epistles
God decided if you will believe, bro. It's not your choice

if that's all you're getting from the Bible, you're really not looking. It's legit an excellent book for the study of society, structure, responsibility, the individual. Go back and really read it. Or give it a few years, and some growth, and then come back to it.

>doesn’t make sense
Found the mental midget that doesn’t know how to decipher the Bible and would die if SHTF and he had to grow his own food.

so... if believing in God allows us to keep society going, surely that's a good trade? The alternative is to not believe in God and descend into animalism?

>Ok then some form of remote viewing maybe. my SP isn't hallucinations as confirmed by the one where i saw the actual room while eyes were closed. I have woken up another time with so much dread/fear and moved a chair before and also had dreams that predicted future events (3 for 3 specific events in one day) in an indirect but accurate fashion.

I had a similar thing happen to me where my room was pitch black while I was in bed, and I noticed that even though my eyes were closed, I could see everything. Opened my eyes, and everything was black. Closed them again, and I could see everything. I "got up", and just like that, was out of my body. Everything had a self illuminating whitish/goldish glow to it that produced enough light so I could walk around. I walked through my closed door since I just knew that I could. Turned to the bottom of the stairs, and saw my brother walking up the stairs with his girlfriend. Thought "ok, to make sure this is real, I'll take note of the shirt that my brother is wearing. As soon as I had that thought, I was back in bed. but I remembered everything. He was wearing a blue button up shirt. Wrote everything down, went back to bed, and the next day I asked my brother if his gf was over yesterday and if they went up the stairs. yes. Asked him if we was wearing a blue button up shirt....nope. Green sweater. Unless theres some kind of incongruity with the spirit world that Im unaware of, sadly, it seems like it was a hallucination/waking dream. I thought to myself how could it be fake when I saw everything in my room as it is. but I do that in dreams all the time. The brain literally just remakes what you see everyday from memory.

Probably. I think it's a mixture of your brain filling in some details and some of the real info covering the basic outline. Like in my dream the details were about me but when it really happened later on they happened to someone else I was with in a slightly different way.

I think it's still real but I understand now fortune tellers don't have all the answers because sometimes the information is a puzzle or doesn't always map 1:1 some details can be changed. You could have also been observing something that was a possibility but then didn't happen something similar did tho. Real remote viewers have to train really hard to separate their imagination from the true information they are getting. You're still alive and in a dream like state so you are mixing your own generated thoughts with the real world happening possibly.

I asked the universe for a sign before and had a coworker say "heres your sign" as a quote from some comedian giving people signs or some shit. The universe will give you answers but always leave you with plausible deniability nothing is ever concrete I have learned that much.

What happened is you began with Genesis 1:1 and it was too big of a redpill for your mind to handle so your brain just shut down completely and you went back to NPC programming.

It's like approaching a total bluepill on the subject of the history of world war 2 with "the holocaust never even happened". They can't handle it. Their programming is too deep.

You should have began with the Book of Ephesians. The Book of Ephesians only takes 15 minutes to read and it equips you with the proper mindset to approach all of the books of the Bible.

Instead you're like a total normie who started watching videos titled "Why Adolf Hitler Was A Zionist Agent" and your brain completely shut everything down and you closed everything with the intention to never approach the subject again.

The truth is you're a spiritual baby and you need to take baby steps. Take some time, relax, stop going to a boomer evangelical church, and reapproach the Bible when you're ready for the truth and start first with the Book of Ephesians, then The Gospel According to John, then read the Revelation According to John. Once you understand how everything is going to end, it's easier to start to understand how everything began. The Bible is not a crime thriller, you don't have to start with the very first page to understand the plot. If you do that you're going to get bored before you even make it to Jeremiah and you're going to walk away with an incomplete understanding of God and salvation.

Which happened here:
Because you don't understand that the Old Testament post-Genesis (creation) is a story of the rise and fall of Israel and how they completely abandoned God and why it was necessary for God to send his only Son knowing he was going to die in order to save the world.

nah the bible is correct. you will figure it out. it took me years to see how obvious God's will and work is all around us. sadly the devil has developed systems that are quite effective.

>sadly the devil has developed systems that are quite effective.
only for people too stubborn. it might distract you while you are young but the truth is very patient and is waiting right by your side until you are ready to accept it.
those distracted their whole lives make a conscious effort to deny every opportunity. As long as you are willing to stop, change perspective, and think you won't be a fool.

At least you have the balls to accept your end and don't take refuge in infantile delusions spawned from Jewish fairy tales.

Yeah that's a strange cope isn't it? The entirety of the religion is contained in 1 half of 1 book. It's not complicated at all it's just dumb.

Humans have an intrinsic need for understanding their world and answering existential questions, particularly one that everyone is so afraid of that they will even create a hell afterlife to avoid thinking of it: non existence.
I'll admit, I'm terrified of the concept, I can't even fathom it. I WANT to believe there's another place we go when we die, I really do. Anywhere but annihilation of my self. A new life, another plane of existence entirely. Something is better than nothing right? But it doesn't make sense. I can't believe in magic, I know it's not real.

anyway, a need to understand the world and deny the fear of non existence is one of the roots of all religions, the other two are like I said, establishing morals so that people can live together in society peacefully, and establishing authority so that people have a government to order that society.

We have those needs, but we don't always need religion for it now. We can be smarter than that and not rely on superstition.

We also HAVE to abandon religion if our species is to survive indefinitely. This planet will not support us forever, we will have to colonize other worlds, but major world religions have told us earth is singularly important and nowhere else will support us, and that WE are singularly important and are God's children.

What happens when we leave this planet? What happens if we find other life? What happens if we find intelligent life? What happens if we find life more intelligent than us? It'll rock abrahamic religions anthropocentric and geocentric beliefs to their cores.

Checked.

No, there won't be lights out if you don't repent. There will be plenty of light, and heat for that matter.

no not really. Buddhism is all about achieving non existence it's their goal. being afraid of not existing is like being afraid of the time before you were born it's really stupid irrational fear.

God and eternal life isn't death cope. It's the reality we live in. To be honest eternal life is scarier than death if you have high IQ. These people who think they have everything all figured out are going to be terrified of their eternal suffering. They would be begging for your version of death you find so scary.

classic christian scare tactics. does Pan scare you that much bitch?

Well, some parts of the old book and some parts of the new book. Which ones? Whichever I feel like it lol. You probably haven't heard of my one true denomination as well.

All smoke and mirrors. Still no compelling evidence for your side. Just like before I didn't care when I wasn't born, I won't care in death as I wont exist. Just like the abrahamic god.

At about 12, then I stopped being a little kid and started believing at the ripe old age of 18

>Non-existence after dying is the same as before being born. Have /white/ kids.
I know user. But it's nice being alive, death sucks and yes I know I wont give a fuck after as I will not exist plus I've already done my part. 3 heathen white children.

I was 4 the first time I thought there was no god. My mom taught daycare at a Baptist church and I started believing there was a god from the age of 8 to about 12. When I was 14 I decided again there was no god after all and was quite angry about it. From the age of 17 through my late 20's I was very spiritual and believed in god pretty zealously but by the time I reached my early 30's, I realized I likely would never believe in god again.

Looks like you fail basic comprehension. Death is scary but I know once dead I wont care as I'm dead.

As far as you are aware you are the only sentient being. Everything else you receive from external stimuli could be a simulation.
It is impossible to provide you with any proof anyone else is real and not a smoke and mirror illusion.

Yet you just assume and accept the reality you believe in and have the nerve to scoff sling insults at mine? Filth.

>Something is better than nothing right? But it doesn't make sense. I can't believe in magic, I know it's not real.

Why are you equating consciousness beyond the brain as being magic? I mean they say that consciousness is an emergent property of our brain. That consciousness isn't tangible in any way, and just happens to be produced my chance from a complicated system. isn't that, magic?
