Finally admitting it, including to myself, made my life unbelievably better. My downside was also admitting I’ll never see grandma again. Still it’s better than trying to live a lie :emojconfused:
This is fabulous, I love this! And I won’t impose my theism definition on you nor will I demand you state anything or take any positions. You & I, we could actually have a good conversation. What a mature attitude :blush:
:D Dude it appears we’re reading 2 different bibles. I read your 2 cor 11:3 and I still see the serpent & eve but still nothing directly calling that Satan.
But ultimately I really don’t care. I’m an atheist & couldn’t give 2 craps. I can only do these discussions for a few hours before they...
Yes, revelation does mention serpent & Satan. You said the serpent in genesis was the “ol deceiver”, I asked if that was Satan, you said yes. I asked specifically what chapter & verse said this & the verse in revelation says nothing about genesis, Adam or eve, it doesn’t say the serpent was...
Not everyone sees disbelief as a waste of time but if you do, you’re free to leave or not engage right? Nothing has bound you here correct? And you were not made the arbiter of definitions right? So others can go on talking and you can keep spouting ignorant nonsense (that’s what you called my...
I don’t need to say anything and yet I’m going to and I’m going to keep talking and keep talking and your toxic hateful attitude won’t shut me up. Wether or not a god exists is an important issue to me, idc if it’s not to you. But I’m going to keep talking & talking & talking until I find...
I’m not trying to debate. But I did try back in February on here to get anyone to explain to me how any belief is a choice. I’m not aware of a single belief I have that I chose. But that may very well be a reality for you. :)
OK guess I have a 2nd reply. It has been discovered that animals like chimps & dogs have moral metrics. If most religions teach that animals don’t have souls- who’s dictating their morals?
:)I forget the particulars but there is fMRI studies where they ask what you think of a moral issue, then they ask “what do your think your god thinks of the same issue” & the same area in the brain lights up. There have been several of these studies done, I don’t remember the details should be...
I did skim over that article & I agree. Since atheism is only agreement of 1 position- non belief in a dirty- you’re gonna find varying beliefs of all kinds, kinda like herding cats. I know atheists who are terrified of haunted houses, atheists who believe in aliens, atheists who still fear...
