Is there really a God?

[OneViewpoint]

People have invented thousands of flawed gods and goddesses to serve them. And amazingly every one of them closely resembles the people who invented them. Same values. Same personality flaws. Same insecurities. Same fears.

The problem is that every religion makes the mistake of starting by making up (wrong) answers to explain away every unknown and fear people have. They then sell these answers as the literal word of their infallible almighty "god". And there's the trap. The word of a god can never be challenged and never be changed. Else the "god" is not infallible and almighty. The god fucks up constantly. They can't sell a broken god.

So no, gods and goddesses are not real. They are tales of magic invisible sky fairies created to appease the weak and fearful adult children among us. Everyone knows it's complete bullshit. But they pretend it's real because they can't cope with the reality that we're on our own and no one is coming to save us.

So in the name of their god they kill each other with each side claiming their "god" is greater until a winner is proclaimed thereby justifying belief in the god of the winning side and invalidating the god of the losing side. Because gods are bloodthirsty bastards apparently and gods (we) love human sacrifice.

How are things alive? How did life just spring out of nothing. Theories often say there was some primordial soup (where did that come from? How did it get there, all of the matter that makes up the universe?) and a single celled being sprung out of that. How? Since when does living, life just pop out of nothing? How is the universe and all of the infinite matter and wonder here? Since when do things spring from nothing?

Everything and everyone got here somehow. How? If it wasn't created then how is everything here?

Most gods are frauds but there is one real one. As several philosophers proved as certain as "3 is an odd number". These "random old guys" were not random, but famous for thinking skills were des cartes and kant and more.

There's something, more than you can easily scientifically observe. But what the exact something is I don't know.

[Dongie]

Pssst... it's God.

[sawno]

@Dongie What is "god"?

[Dongie]

god is a false god.

God is all-knowing omniscient being thar loves all good. He is the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost. A triune God.
The only true God. He's active in people's lives. He is going to return.

@Dongie I don't have that belief myself, I don't think god is an individual. I do believe in angels though.

[Dongie]

Ol. Have you read the Bible?

[sawno]

@Dongie long ago because I went to a Christian elementary school. I only remember some bits but from what I remember only 2 things can be true.
1. There is not one god in the bible, its multiple beings mistaken as the same god.
2. The god in the bible is not a good being and does things I associate with pure evil while also doing good things. Would make it a neutral being, but I try to align myself with good not with neutral.

Personally I'd say 1 is more likely.

[Dongie]

OH MY...

[TonyMetal___86]

I believe that there is a god for sure but beyond our comprehension, he taughts us as humans what we need in our lives but other questions are beyond our brain limits...

[Joshydavid25]

That's for you to search for and find out yourself.. But yeah would be my answers..

[Dargil]

For those like me who believe there is One God, yes.

[BarryLiverstone]

Truly I saw onto you there is God who loves us all.

[Roseloveasidu]

For sure

*say

[jahaims]

Nope, it's an idea humans made to cope with reality. Religion is one giant coping mechanism.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, there is.

[jshm2]

Yes.

Next question.

[Dongie]

Yes!
