hello 2016 reddit newfag, hows highschool coming along

Look man, being condescending is never going to win people over. Genuinely airing my vexations here, never been to reddit in my life. Just flip through the old testament for a second and I guarantee you'll land on a page describing some terrible punishment for what was most likely an accidental slight. I wish I had faith, I wish I believed the forces out there were kind and good, every day believing otherwise is agony. But I can't.

I'm actually a Satanist and yea, it helps.

Every punishment I can recall is a result of disobeying a direct instruction, thereby demonstrating a singular lack of trust and faith in God. Intentionally turning away from Him.

Why god hates freedom so much?

Yeah, that's his name, mate. Not going to call one guy "God" when there's about 3000 of them out there.

If you're not a rootless cosmopolitan neoliberal materialist you're living in a fantasy world. It kind of doesn't matter because the machine grinds onwards regardless of your feeble monkey wrenches, but for your own well-being and the experience of your short but valuable life it would be good to get past these fictions.
The fictions buffer you from the sublime experience of a loss of meaning, they decrease your sensitivity to fear and awe, which sounds nice but actually prevents you from generating self sacrifice, heroism, devotion, etc. which are all pretty good.
So, you know. Do your thing but if you want to experience the true depth of the human experience it might be a good idea to let the faith go and embrace the void, let it inspire awe and horrify you. Let your spirit be blasted away and see how it returns.

What's funny to me is that you guys hate muslims but they are against the same "degeneracy" that you are

Freedom to choose is literally the basis for Christianity, m8. Your ability to choose does not, however, negate the consequences for poor choices

Your father loves you yes, but it would be wrong of him to not have strict discipline as well.
If your child loved a vice more than you, would you not punish them? This is the kind of love God gives you.

If you're talking about the old testament, realize that he was mad for a reason. He gave the people a specific set of rules to follow, and they went the opposite way every time. That's why He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, why He flooded the earth. But then He became flesh to save us. He took on our sins, suffered, and died on the cross so we could have a chance at being saved without needing to follow all the old laws. His grace is bestowing the gift of salvation upon us, a bunch of people that don't deserve it, and all we need to do to receive that gift is have faith and follow Him. If that's not a loving Father, I don't know what is.

>accidental slight
100% of the time it's because the hebrews were being cunts. all of the prophets were sent to tell them that they were about to be in a world of hurt if they didn't quit being degenerates. most of the church fathers were dickheads. Jacob was a genuinely shitty person even after he left laban and made up with esau

this is a 14 year old tier complaint about the god of the old testament and you would understand that all of the punishments were merited if you'd actually read it

it's funny you say this, I was just checking in with a Christian dating site I haven't looked at in a while
no replies, no messages, no likes
I was going to message this one girl but I felt weird about it (I've messaged others on there before)
I still believe in a higher power and that that higher power is a single God and that the God of Abraham etc. makes the most sense, but I'm not that religious any more
I feel like anyone I find that is, I'll be annoyed or awkward around them, or they'll be annoyed or disappointed with me, or I'll say something that messes things up, or we just won't click
but apparently it's not something to worry about since even the religious girls don't want me

i think i've found faith through telling the truth. i understand the good it does so it kind of feels like a way out of my shit and gives me some faith in life. i'm agnostic so i appreciate having something now

That is ONE of his names used to ascribe to one specific personality of his that punishes
There are a fuck thousand other names in the Bible like Adonai, Elohim/El'shadai etc

Anyway, it seems like a contradiction(how can a God of Love allow job to happen) and you are not going to find answers with a shallow philosophy. Ivan Karamazov said himself he could not believe in a God of love which allowed the crying children, allowing the most innocent beings to suffer.

BUT, if you do your job as a reader and take all the atrocities of the old testament to be right, once they were taken by a righteous being you can draw some deep philosophical conclusions from it

>1. Those things aren't bad, but indifferent
Christianity was heavily influenced by stoicism so I'm going to take this pathway for now. You see Job and he goes through a lot of pain, people he loved die and a lot of shit happens to him once God allows the devil to tempt him (which sounds evil), but in truth, when you are a transcendental being all those things seem small (and indeed they are) when compared to true salvation, eudaemonia, ataraxia or whatever. By suffering, you have the opportunity to realise the unimportance of those things and that the only good thing that you posses is in your power: the love of virtue and the faith in God

Yea right.

My favorite one is where Elisha uses God-magic to kill 42 children for making fun of his baldness

>2 Kings 2:23-34
>23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
>24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Truly the work of a benevolent deity. You virtue signalling kike-worshipping faggots should really actually read that book you wave around instead of getting your scriptures from inspirational Instagram accounts.

>2. They suffered because they were distant from God

That applies to a big part of the old testament. It does sound a little ruthless at first but when you look at it with another POV you realise that is only natural. This one is more based on my poor understanding of Catholic theology from Augustine

Imagine God as the summa bonum, everything good comes from Him. He is the bright light that shines in the darkness against every shadow. Now, you have the freedom to go to the light or stay in the darkness. If you go through ways that make you distant from Him which stems Goodness itself isn't it only natural that you will find unnecessary suffering?

Don't look at it as a punishment(although in the Bible itself is treated many times as such), look at it as a consequence: you are in a field and you find a rock, suddenly you decide to throw it upwards to see how far it can go, the rock goes up at first then falls right into your head and it hurts. Was that a divine punishment?

Back to r/atheism. I bet your lifts are as bad as your attitude

No I'm jewish and lift for purely health/narcissistic reasons.

>Has your faith in Christ helped you in your physical pursuits?
LOL no but I sacrifice you the name of Ares and send you fuckers to meet Hades all the time, it's a good cardio workout.

>how does this prove God is caring

If you believe in God then you believe he sent his son that he was most pleased with down to Earth SPECIFICALLY to die on the cross to save all of humanity from sin that is those that take Jesus as their savior.

Imagine needing to actually believe in an imaginary being to be able to carry on in life, fucking pathethic.

>My daddy can do anything he wants and he's the best and he's getting out of prison very soon and you should love him too

Not a refutation of anything said, just a blanket statement of "atheism bad". Religion is usually a good fit for unquestioning cattle like you, stick with it. Just don't fuck any kids.

>what is the Holy Trinity

If God is to exist and to have all of the power he does then he'd have to be omniscient user, be thankful that he didn't make us that way and that he alone is forced to endure the pain of never truly living a life as random and enjoyable as ours.
Consider reading the new Testament instead of the old one, user.
Nice digits and most of this post is great, but God didn't die, his son did.
Not in totality, and most of the Old Laws are fine as is.

They all are related and all are of the same, but there'd be no point in separating them if they all referred to the same element of Yahweh. That's all I'm saying, user

This is wrong believing. Grace is what you need.

>unquestioning cattle
You'd be surprised just how rational Catholic theology is. Read some Thomas Aquinas sometime or watch some Fulton Sheen videos, both are amazing scholars and very holy men.

Then you should have said the Father didn't die, which would be correct. But I see where you're coming from, just making sure you're not an anti-trinitarian heretic. Have a blessed day user.

I'd have loved to have done that but I think I'd have done the same and got scared. I still like Samsons story.

>when it's done he isn't even tired or strained
>God brings forth water at his feet to drink after wards for Samson to drink

God is righteous in bringing your enemies to your feet and is righteous in doing so.

Faith without works is dead though, even protestants believe that. The point is that the faith is not made by the works, and the works are not what saves a person. A person is saved by grace through their faith, but a living faith is shown by doing good works. Think about it this way: if I say I believe in God but don't do anything to follow Him, do I really believe or am I just saying that in a lame attempt to be saved?

You're good user, I just separate Jesus and Yahweh because they exist as somewhat separate entities while Christ was on Earth (with Jesus speaking to him often, and Jesus asking him to calm down when he starts thundering the skies above Jerusalem) so my thought process is geared that way.
May God give you a great life.

The problem is Jesus already took care of everything, he took your place and you took his. That means you're now Gods beloved son. Does a loving father force his son/daughter to SHOW their devotion to him? NO he loves them unconditionally and gives them everything BECAUSE they're his son/daughter.

I will be honest I am not super versed or knowledgable in all things of the bible but this is how I believe due to the church and pastor I listen to so don't think I am attacking you as I only want both of us to enjoy our fathers blessings.

You're raving. There is no self-sacrifice, heroism or devotion in atheism nor is there a wholesome human experience. There is only void, despair, emptiness, unfulfilment, darkness and rot. By discarding God we instantly revert to our basest selves and become nothing more than animals. There is no glory nor honor in atheism.

t. atheist for the last decade desperately trying to accept christ now after bawling my eyes over what a failure I am(spiritually, materially I am very successful).

What church and pastor do you listen to? And yeah I totally agree that a loving father will love his son, but what if that son hates and rejects his father? He can still be loved, but that father wants the best for his son, not for his son to hate him. And what would be the point of the rest of the Bible if we didn't have to do anything, and Jesus just saved us regardless of what we do? He did save us, but we can't accept that gift if we ignore it and push it away, right?

In order to understand the Bible, and trust in God, and be aware of Demonic Activity and Satan... you have to beg God for the ability to see.

And people who can't, or don't want to, won't be able to unless they humble themselves and ask as well.

It's like trying to explain colors to someone who only sees Monochrome.
