Even as an atheist, I know that this does seem to be true.
@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.
@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 I am sorry my friend. I have no interest in changing your mind in the least. You wish to believe or not believe in anything is entirely on you as an individual. We can not be doomed as a whole just as we can not be saved as a whole. That being said, I will always pray for you but not because I want you to magically change your mind but because I care, because if say there is a magnificent kingdom afterward. Being someone I care about, I want you to be apart of that wonderful place.
@LukeAlmighty Please think of it this way. Say something like Disney Land or World or wherever. Was sincerely the greatest place anywhere in ever. And I am told I can bring anyone I want to be happy. Why would I not include a neighbor, friend, family or other? I guess you can say it's one of the ways I show I actually give a rats rear about anyone. I also 100% believe our animals go to heaven and I get a lot of kick back on that as well.
@LukeAlmighty I also have been told as a Christian where I am allowed to go, what to do and who to care about. By other flawed humans. The same humans that tend to muck up everything God actually stands for. I'm sorry, I ramble now. What I mean is, I have no interest in forcing or tricking you into belief or unbelief. I have no interest in bullying anyone or swaying. I also have no interest in someone pawning themselves onto me.
@LukeAlmighty I am interested in making real contentions with real people who are sincerely just being themselves. I want real friends who I accept them for who they are and they can accept me for who I am. And just a side note: I don't believe in God because of what an awesome life I can have or life after. I sincerely see a better way of life, One full of patients, love, compassion and understanding. Something this world really could use a whole lot of.
@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
@LukeAlmighty Would you like to see my fur Babies?
@Syberia Not sure what you mean, but if you mean pets, sure.
@LukeAlmighty Yeah, My puppers and my kitty ninja. They Rock!
@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.
@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 😎
