@LukeAlmighty As an atheist, why do you say that? Honestly curious. 🤔

@Syberia
Well, I do consider belief in god to be irrational. That does not mean it doesn't have it's benefits to a certain type of people.

These people who tend to become obsessed with SJW talking points are people who are simply said: completelly useless. So, it might be hard for them to find a meaning in life.

Since they cannot do anything useful, normally, christianity would offer them a belief that even their lives were meaningful. But, since they are still missing that, they found another cheap excuse for a moral life.

@LukeAlmighty Do you think your atheism is disbelief or unbelief?

@Syberia
First, please, do not get too hung up on my technical language. I do not belief in existence of god, so some terms might not align completely to your experience.

When it comes your question, I cannot anwser by one word, because I am not sure what you mean by each of them, but in short, I hope this might anwser:
1) I do not believe in any life after death nor all-knowing and all-capable being.
2) I believe, that this belief is destructive to most humans, but
3) Some people are unable to live their lives without this belief.

@LukeAlmighty I would really love to sit with you and have a hot tea while having a deeper discussion on this. I appreciate how you desires to communicate but you are kind at the same time. I am very interested in learning you better. Until then I honestly wish you and yours the very best 🙏 I have to get back to work for now 😎

@Syberia
Sounds good. It's always good to make new friends, especially during these crazy times.

Anyway, I do think that trying to change my mind on christianity would be quite pointless. My father used to be a Jehova whitness, and I spend 9 years in a christian school. Not only have I heard what is written in Bible and what it means to people, but I also saw what believing in god truly meant to these people.

So I gave it a good enough chance, but I cannot say that I believe in this God.

@LukeAlmighty Just one more thing, if I may. I have all kinds of people I consider friends, all kinds of religion, all kinds of ideas and philosophies.It really doesn't bother me, because whether they think me stupid or crazy, they still just take me as I am. That really is a friend. So, at this point if you will still have me, I am sincerely interested in you being a part of my life.

Respectfully,
A Friend

@Syberia Not sure what you mean, but if you mean pets, sure.

@picandor @LukeAlmighty 🤣 If you are speaking of my furry friends. Yes, very much so. I take great care with them. I actully had a whole police force brag about me boi. I do a rub down on him daily, he gets a soft bath once a week and a deep scrub once a month. A soak once every three months. My girl gets a rub down once a week and a bath if she gets up to no good. She does get brushed daily though.

@picandor @LukeAlmighty Oh, I do the work myself. I don't trust anyone to keep my friends safe and unharmed. I worked in the animal industry too long.
