I relate on a profound level.

>black people are actually Jew
Oh no... oh no no no... THOSE lunatics got to him?! The
Black Hebrew Israelites?! I thought it was just general, weirdo, conspiracy theory anti-semites. You know, poa.st users. I never suspected the other fuckers.

> I thought it was just general, weirdo, conspiracy theory anti-semites.

Imagine thinking hating jews was just a fringe thing weirdos did, and not what God does.

@Xenophon @book
god is a fringe weirdo.

capitalize it. Show respect for your creator.

@Xenophon @book
he's not my creator. Besides, I wouldn't show him respect even if he was. Doesn't deserve it.

@alyx @Xenophon Hitchens predicted this (Not that one the good one.) Atheioids hate God first, then doubt him because of it.

@book @Xenophon
Don't hate god. Just have no respect for the concept. I do have some respect for how a church can bring people together, but you don't really need a god for that. Just a well chosen common goal.

@alyx @Xenophon
>Don't hate god [sic]
>Doesn't deserve it.

@book @Xenophon
You don't need to hate something or someone to be able to acknowledge they don't deserve your respect.

@alyx @book @Xenophon You can still respect someone if you don't like them, but respect is fundamentally incompatible with hatred. Unlike love, hatred is a choice which affects you more than what you're hating, and a persistent denial of belief that there exists a higher-order being beyond your immediate perception is more a reflection of you than the world around you.

I'm a bit too drink to read this, but it sounds right. 👍

You don't have to hat everything you don't respect, but Alyx wants to have her cake and eat it also. Tacit admittance that you reject God, but also fear His existence and don't want to piss Him off.

@Xenophon @hrast @book
Not sure where it's implied that I fear the potential of god's existence.

@alyx @Xenophon @hrast It's implied in you saying he doesn't deserve to be worshipped, a classic atheist canard. In the hitchens debate I referenced this point is elaborated on: The problem of evil is just self-hatred, and atheism is just self-defense.

Hope this helps (You will have plenty of time to mull it over in hell.)

@book @Xenophon @hrast
Firstly, I said I wouldn't show him respect. I think worship would be on an even higher step than that. But I can treat them as synonymous for now.

Secondly, there's a difference between "I wouldn't respect/worship him" and "he doesn't deserve to be worshiped". The first stems from my personal subjective opinion of god, the second is an objective statement. Whether the Christian god is objectively worthy of worship or not, is beyond my ability to judge. But again, I'll treat these 2 statements as synonymous for now.

I still disagree that me thinking he's unworthy of my respect/worship is proof of me fearing his potential existence. Considering how powerful god is claimed to be, if there was even an inkling of me thinking god could exist, wouldn't it be logical for me to respect him? Isn't that what the basis of Pascal's wager is?

>I wouldn't show the literaly creator of my existence respect.

😂 😂😂😂

Nigger, imagine believing you are original! I spent at least 2 decades being you.

@Xenophon @hrast @book
In what sense do you mean "original"? And how is my statement implying that I believe I'm "original?
