I am now an Atheist.

[アキウアラ]

I am a former roman catholic, I found the Bible has too many errors and contradictions now I don't believe on God like there are literally thousands of religions floating around, how can I be so sure that it is the real God, so I finally admit that I was wrong about doubting science and God isn't real if he is really an "all loving God" he shouldn't make this world a f8cked up place to live like sufferings and pain are literally here on this world of ours.

I'm also pretty sure, that besides being a punitive planet, this planet is also a genetic experiment. God wants a breed of people who are intelligent, wise, benevolent, have free will, know the secrets of the universe, and are morally competent enough to use that knowledge for just purposes.

This was one of the things I intuited when I was "crazy" (some would say divinely inspired).

Honestly I think the aliens are doing that one.

They crashed an asteroid into the primordial forming Earth and ripped out the Moon. That is why it is the only moon that always shows it same side to the planet it circles.. it was torn out and is spinning out slowly.

Probably to see the effects on evolution from such a drastic upheaval in the early stages of planetary development.

But sure God works to, not like we will ever know for sure.

One of the names for God is "Elohim" which is actually plural. Could well be aliens. I've been putting a lot of consideration into that. "God" led one faction, and "Satan" led another faction that wanted to interbreed with humans.

Another possibility I've considered is that God is the prime consciousness controlling the noosphere. The sphere of consciousness that connects all living things. Related to concepts of Prana, Chi or Ki. I know I was communing with something when I was "crazy". All the ideas I was having did not originate solely with me.

Oh yeah the good alien thing and bad ... lizards are the bad ones that cause PDFs and stuff isn't it?

IDK hearing all this stuff really makes me think we are in Generation Lack of Responsibility.

I'm sorry officer it was them damn lizards again...

[Othobrithol]

Elohim is more easily explainable as the name of the canaanite pantheon pre-monotheism.

From what I've been told, I understand that every time you hear "serpent" or "reptilian" or "lizard people" it's really referring to a certain breed of people who became the biblical Tribe of Dan. Whose symbol is the serpent. These were a viking-like people renowned for their seafaring ability. They had a penchant for travelling the world and naming the various places they discovered after the patriarch of their tribe. Dan. Like Sardinia (SarDANia), Scandinavia (ScanDANavia), the Danube river (DANube). Some of my own ancestors are from the Danube region, actually (not sure if that's really something I want to admit).

This is similar to another group of people who use the Lion as their symbol, like how every royal family has a lion on their crest. This is the Lion of Judea.

I do believe both of these people are descended from this extraterrestrial Nephilim lineage (we all are, to varying degrees, if I'm correct). But when people talk about Aliens the way you've probably heard them, I think they're just using it as a way to talk about things that can't really be discussed openly, unless you're crazy like me.

This might also bring to mind something like Harry Potter, strange as that may sound, where the two main houses in the school use the serpent and the lion as their symbol, respectively. And have a different core ideology from each other.

Edit: As for who the "good" ones and the "bad" ones are... that's really quite murky at this point. Hard to tell, and very dependant on which perspective you consider. Life isn't like fairy tales such as Harry Potter, with clear cut heroes and villains.

time will tell on whether God is real or not when the time comes stand on what you believe.

You can always bet that the end of a long thread will just have the same few people arguing about something unrelated in essay form back and forth.

It's actually very on-topic. But I have to stop before I reveal too much and get myself in trouble. The people who do talk about this stuff professionally are much more careful with it than I am.

All i get from this thread is atheists are sooo obsessed with Christianity. Even the Christians are not as obsessed as these ppl.

Anyway, this thread wouldv been more fun if the discussion is abt Hinduism, or Buddhism, or... Islam. Yep this thread definitely needs more discussion abt Islam

Im not religious nor am I an atheist. I find the topic of religion being used as a way to cope with everyday life to be interesting.

The last time I ever felt "spiritual" was through martial arts. I guess that was my "religion" per say as I, genuinely, felt happy everyday when I used to practice it. But since I stopped, I have now retarded into my old lazy self.

I arrived at this one late after many days thankfully offline.

If the OP is even here at all anymore I wish them well. Countless many of us once were religious. Some of us came from different religions and/or denominations- but the pattern is almost always the same.

We had it pounded into us that we were a bad person if we didn't blindly swallow some really bad fiction. Many of us blamed ourselves for not trying hard enough. Eventually, we reached a breaking point. The problem wasn't us.

The answer is there is no answer for where Cain and Abel's wives came from. The major religions were all bad bronze age fiction. Newer religions and cults were just new ways of imposing control over people.

Eventually, many reach a point in which enough is enough. We pull the plug and make a stand.

I suspect that most of the people in this forum are American. Here, in America, we have the religious right continually doubling down on their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. As far as I am concerned, keep it up! They are doing a better job of causing Americans to turn away from religion in droves than I ever could.

Thank you for the brilliant work religious right!

I like the part where you dismiss the entire oral tradition of a people as "bad bronze age fiction" while having a profile named after a Greek god. Ironic.

The most important parts of the Bible are the part about the Nephilim and the genealogy after the flood (the table of nations). I have a suspicion those are the two parts you take the most grievance with though.

Edit: Speaking of the Greeks and the genealogy after the flood: Did you know that the Ionian Greeks considered themselves descendants of the god Iapetus, or Japetus. One and the same as the biblical Japheth. I'm assuming you hold Greek mythology in higher regard than the Bible, so I thought you would find it interesting that in this instance, they correlate.

It's demographics.

Christianity is the dominant religion in the parts of the world where atheism is spreading.

Buddhism and Hinduism [along with Jainism] are historically extremely pluralist so conflict with them is rare, except with Islam. The same goes for most of the Chinese/Korean/Japanese philosophies and faiths. The need to only follow one way isn't really as common.

Islam is well... let's just say atheism stays in the closet where they rule.

Abrahamism is the only dominant group that is consistently intolerant of differing belief systems.

Embrace pluralism.
