What's God's Name?

I avoid Tinder and I don’t think they ask the religion question, or I wouldn’t know. I’m referring to Bumble and older men want to argue sbout religion. Younger men don’t care.

God is real but religion is fake and gay

If you’re an atheist you have no purpose in live. It’s better if you pass away.

I believe there is a god and Jesus is lord. My purpose every day is to do good in this world and not cause to much trouble if I can help it.

I definitely believe in god and I’m Mormon leaning.

Of course younger men don't care, they just want some milf pooci and then ghost

Lmao kind of sounds like Jesus's life and "resurrection"

If Jesus is God as Brosef pointed out, means he "magically" raped Virgin Mary with "the holy spirit" (his magic jizz) then peaced the fuk out back to heaven (Jesus's "resurrection" and subsequent ghost)

Mirin' Mormonism

What are your thoughts on ascending into Godhood and ruling over a galaxy/universe of your own. Is it something that appeals to you?

Is this a serious question? Are are you straight up that delusional?

That’s a silly question.

God or Father

Those aren't names.

didn't read through the thread but I assume the term “sky daddy” was used multiple times in a derogatory manner as a cope for the world all around us getting fuked up in the vacuum and absence of religion lol lol lol

I don’t understand your question. God is God. Are you referring to Jesus?

I’m referring to judea-Christian because we’re in the west and that’s the foundation of our society. If we were in India perhaps id reference Hinduism instead. It’s all the same to me, I’m not a “believer” in the sense of the word. I’m looking at the effect of religion psychologically.

Again, looking at this at a surface level. The bibles underlying message is equality, we are all made equal in Gods image. That’s what makes you different from a pig.

As for Orwell’s quote, lol, that’s not a byproduct of religion. That’s a byproduct of nature, animal nature, no one is truly equal. You and I have an ego that would have ourselves be higher on that dominance hierarchy. However, the underlying message of “there is God and we are all his children” may have just been enough to reign that ego in for us to treat each other with respect as human beings, well, because all humans are gods children.

That’s the message, remove yourself from the bias of hatred against the bible or whatever and look at the psychological effect that could have.

Your argument is similar to saying that marriage is bad because it ends in divorce most of the time. Well, ye, but not the concept of it. And as for the book being outdated, of course it is, it was written 2000 years ago, it doesn’t change the fact that it had a message that guided us.

If you get rid of a religion, another will surface in religious dimensions. Today, people are getting very religious about their political beliefs for example.

The world simply cannot exist without a religion, more than likely, societal evolution will manifest its own, and if you throw the baby out with the bath water, you might usher in a disastrous set of religion. Think of the bloody genocides in the 20th century.

And the rebuttal to that is always, hurr durr religion caused wars. Nobody said religion was perfect or that it’s even suppose to have a good outcome. Religion is simply a set of stories, belief system, dogma or not, that we universally follow. The judea-Christian religion for the most part is good, specially for something written 2000 years+ ago but it doesn’t mean that people can’t bastardise it.

Blaming religion for those atrocities is akin to blaming trump for KKK members today.

As for the Muslim thing. Islam is a perfect example actually. Imagine being a person living in a desert 1300 years ago. There’s suffering, people are dying, women are raped and beaten etc. It’s pure suffering.

They tell a story, that there is heaven beyond all this suffering but in this life you have to do good. A sense of purpose. They have to marry their women, so now someone has to take care of their children.

The stories told basically guide society to thrive, and without it, it would have probably collapsed. The evidence is that no society has ever existed for a length of time that did NOT have a religion of some sort.

And if you think you’re good just because, you have too large an ego.

Honestly, why don’t you kill a man to get what you want? You’d kill a chicken? Why the chicken and not man? What is so “secular” about that?

Why do good? What is good? Who told you it was good and why did they say it is good?

You seem to think religion is specifically about the magical stories of witches or going to church and whatnot, rather than psychological effect it has on people which underpins society.

Western civilisation is only secular in practice. The psychological foundation of it is still very religious, based on judea-Christian ideals. That will wear off over the next 50 years.

You see this in real life too. You meet a Christian Mexican woman, extremely religious, very indoctrinated. She taught her daughter and and her daughter grew up hearing all the Christian ideals. Daughter has a Very conservative views on sex, marriage etc. But she doesn’t pray every day nor even go to church. Her daughter, the granddaughter Millennial is even less religious but she has also grown up with somewhat Christian values, still has casual sex but hasn’t quite degenmax.

Now the tiktoker genz meanwhile seems completely washed from all that, didnt get any religious lectures as a kid. However, still largely influenced by society which in itself was influenced by religion.

You can write off religious practices into law overnight and you can even ban it’s practice overnight too. The psychological effects won’t be felt for decades at least and societies won’t feel it for centuries.

Rome didn’t fall in a day when it was clearly already at its end, took 300+ years.

Of course.

Jesus?

You mean that little brown Jew?
