How do you get past the idea you believe in a magic sky man?

[OddBeMe]

I get religion gives you peaceful ideas of death and a community of Iike-minded. But illogical belief in a magic man in the sky seems insane.

[WіllReportu]

I find this kind of intolerant rhetoric completely unacceptable! We should not make fun of religious people or belittle their beliefs, no matter how different they may be from our own. It violates community guidelines regarding hate speech, and is just generally offensive. Don't be surprised when you get reported! As for your second comment, it is similarly problematic. This violent imagery has no place in a civil conversation. I'll have you know that my passion for protecting marginalized communities does not stem from insecurity or lack of masculinity. Rather, it comes from an understanding of intersectionality and a desire to create a safe space online for all. There is nothing funny or appropriate about suggesting violence against anyone. Take some time to reflect on why you feel the need to use such hurtful language, and consider seeking professional help to deal with your anger issues.

[OddBeMe]

I’ll belittle whoever the fuck I want. I mostly stick to ideas rather than people. And if you can answer a simple question that get the fuck out.

[strateguy632]

to will, as usual WRONG category. no hate here.
yes offensive, so be more precise and stop stretching indirect stuff.

[Juxtapose]

Yeah religion falls apart under any sort of objective observation. It's utterly ridiculous.

An omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent being with infinite mercy and infinite love would not let reality exist as it is.

[Juxtapose]

And the thing is? The religion doesn't even test your character, just how gullible you are. Only gullible people get into heaven because they were too foolish to demand evidence.

[strateguy632]

god is a VERY sensitive topic please stop offending believers with your own "really ridiculous" presentation. the question you ask you were the first to ask?

[Juxtapose]

@strateguy632 I don't care about other people's feelings of offense 🤷

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Is not a man lol, is a diety. Not like some dude just floating up on a cloud. Not even in the sky in the heavens, like a spirit beyond time & space. That's not fairy tale that's more like religion or myth. It doesn't feel any dumber than to believe in natural order & shit. Either way u look around & there's clearly power & beauty behind nature. Difference is I believe that power is conscious & purposeful, not just laws & chemicals. Like i do believe there's the laws & chemicals, but yknow, not just that. Also reason.

[OddBeMe]

He has to be somewhere. Do you just not think about it?

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Only has to be somewhere if they're in space. They're beyond space bc created space. Lol I think about it sometimes, yeah, my husband studied philosophy & religion in college so he likes to have that type of convo sometimes.

[OddBeMe]

If there’s no space it doesn’t exist.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Not there's no space, they're beyond space. Not a spatial being like we are.

[OddBeMe]

Well.. I’ll put it this way: There’s no evidence OF ANY KIND that “beyond space” exists. So why believe before a single spec of evidence?

there's more evidence that there are infinite universes.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Bro you know consciousness? That's beyond space. Ur conscious isn't physically inside ur brain. There is evidence. U can look it up if ur really so interested, way smarter people than me have believed this and explained it based on different evidence they observe or research.

[OddBeMe]

No actually, A) we don’t know about consciousness, B) it could be spatial like brain synapses. They have atoms and subatomic particles.

God? Please point to his atoms.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Nah, if it was in ur brain then there would be no such thing as out of body experiences where people see & hear accurate shit they wouldn't be able to from where their physical body was at the time. So. It's clearly not made of atoms in ur brain.

[OddBeMe]

How do you know that?

[OddBeMe]

I think- I think- thoughts have space. It was an interesting article. I’ll try to find it. But thoughts have electrical impulses. Which have subatomic particles or some shit.

[OddBeMe]

This is similar. there's physical and metaphysical it says. Meta is really just crap we can’t explain.

So I see your point. But I don’t see believing it’s real before we can prove it’s real.

mcgovern.mit.edu/.../

[GOLDFISH_smile]

I know bc people have done research on it? How tf else would I know lol. Yeah I know thoughts make electric shit in ir brain too, bc people also research that. I'm not arguing with u. U asked, I answered. If u don't believe me then look it up, out of body experiences, it's rlly neat even if u think it's just crap we can't explain.

[OddBeMe]

Wait then what are we arguing about? And by the way miss a very-pants I did give you MHO becuase I enjoyed our convo so much.

Lol

[OddBeMe]

That’s supposed to be *angry-pants

Which you totally are girlfriend!

[GOLDFISH_smile]

No man I'm NOT angry! That's why I said I'm not trying to argue lol. I know I come across aggressive, trying to be clear is just how I talk. I'm not angry at u. I am kinda tired tho so I didn't even notice the mho—thanks! Was a fun convo. I'll ask my husband about some consciousness article when he wakes up if ur interested, he prolly knows where to find them.

[OddBeMe]

You’re tho we don’t fck all about consciousness.

And i just like trolling for good convos. Have a good night MhO!

[Lyndsielee666]

I also wonder why people believe in fairytales.

[Still-alive]

Because leprechauns and fairies are cool!

[strateguy632]

in general because god is all powerful can do miracles we can't do. omnipotent. not magic but logic.

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 that’s literally illogic. Nothing can be more illogical than your statement.

[Lyndsielee666]

@strateguy632 what miracles has sky daddy performed

[OddBeMe]

@Lyndsielee666 Funny how all the “miracles” dried up when started having video camera in our pockets.

[Still-alive]

That strat guy can’t seem to grasp that other people believe different things. I guess anyone who doesn’t believe in his god is evil or something 🤷‍♂️

[OddBeMe]

@Still-alive nah man, we’re confused. The devil has got into our brains. We need to pray away the gayness.

[jshm2]

By laughing at such false assertions.

Your wilful ignorance of the subject, does not mean others need to get out the crayons to explain it to you.

If you believe there is "a man" then you need to prove it can live "in the sky" and operates by magic. But it's you that is illogical and working on a false belief. As you are taking Michelangelo's drawing literally to feed your false ideals. Then creating a strawman to try and abuse others with.

It's why we both pity and laugh at you.

[Anonymous]

That’s a very childish idea of God.

But you’re a childish person. And a petty one.

Imagine hating people who believe in God so much that you troll a dating website, then make posts—even hunt for the most idiotic meme to use—simply because God cursed you with a micro-penis and a face like the ass of a diarrhetic cow.

[OddBeMe]

If I believed in a god that would hurt me! But since I know your logic is on par with a child, I’m fine.

[CaptainSmartass]

The idea of believing that an explosion came out of nowhere and apparently created the universe sounds kinda crazy to me.

Simples...

[OddBeMe]

So because you don’t know…that’s all you have? Simple.

[CaptainSmartass]

It's believed that there was nothing before the so called "big bang". Nothing. Nowt. Zilch. Bugger all. An explosion requires there to be fuel, heat and oxygen, none of which would be there. If there was nothing preceding this big bang, how could it happen?

[OddBeMe]

It isn’t believed. We DONT KNOW.

[Lara_Croft]

He's not a sky man Acts 17 vs 28, in him we live move and have our being-he's everywhere.
