Humanifying god with emotions seems dim to me; isnt he all powerful and all knowing? Cant he predict the future?
Decisions are in the end chemical reactions in your brain, if you have perfect knowledge you can predict them perfectly. And so, how would god blame criminals - they were born into the unavoidable faith of doing what they were born to.
Perfect knowledge nullifies choice, choice beinf a concept contained in perfect knowledge.
"Do you think God stays in Heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he's created??
I do not believe that God stays in heaven. The christian point of view is hard to describe. In simple terms he is a being that has no place, time, etc. He exists everywhere as both "god" and a spirit (and in flesh as Jesus 2000 years ago).
While I don't see him, I can sense his spirit and love for me every day.
He does not fear his creation. He loves his creation like a dad loves his children. This is why we call him Abba/Father. No matter what you do, he always welcomes you back with open arms
if you're not parroting your parents you're parroting someone else. why else would you sound like every other r*tarded atheist on the internet who thinks he's smart
but i'm not parroting anything even if my upbringing obviously shaped who i am just as everyone's upbringing shapes who they are, and i'm talking about the mainstream definition of god as i've heard it
there are a lot of definitions for god. you used the one that sounds stupidest because you want to look smart. you aren't smart and you don't think for yourself. you're parroting your parent's values just like a religious person would parrot their parent's values
I am denying the existence of a magical omniscient guy who created us and loves us because I think that was a belief people came up with a long time ago and i, personally, think it makes very little sense.
I have reasons to think it isn't true, but that is, of course, my opinion, and I'm not telling anyone else they -have- to believe the same. Actually, I was only saying that as a way to be pedantic towards Issue.
Speaking of being pedantic towards issue, "cisgender" is a word people use, not a binary true/false statement
that's not what i said. their beliefs impacted me in that many people are raised being told there is a god, and i was not told anything about it (and was raised in a family that is mathematically and scientifically inclined, so probably influenced to be the same, which is another thing i wonder about)
