Why do people who believe in God live their lives as if there were no God?
Are they procrastinating forever the day of their repentance, are they apathetic towards God and they know the God thing doesn't exist or are they just delusional gullible fools?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality4 weeks agoWhy does the Republican Party only care about rising costs and deficits when a Democratic president is in power?
And only care about helping their rich buddies instead of helping average everyday Americans. But when Donald Trump was president they didn't care about the deficit he run up to more than 3.4 trillion?
12 AnswersPolitics4 weeks agoWhy do theists continue to believe in God when God and magical bunnies in the forest are the exact same things?
There is no rational reason to believe that an Omnipotent, Omnibenevolent, Omnipresent God exists out his own sheer will because without giving testable evidence of his existence. All of the faith non-sense that Christians spout can have hundreds if not thousands of explanations of why things turn out good or bad for you How do you know apart from your warm squishy feelings that it was God revealing himself to you and further more how do you explain that there is no agreed upon doctrine by all Christians to adhere which is why so many many different denominations and sects exist. There is absolutely no reason that magical bunnies would exist out of their own sheer will and unless I can see and hold on in my hands then I will refuse to believe in them for the exact same reasons I refuse to believe in God and magic.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality4 weeks agoChristians why does your "God" refuse to hurt or kill atheists like me? ?
Surely such a jealous and wrath God as Yahweh would be hurt enough to complete his word like check this out. Deuteronomy 7 : 9-10 "Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 And repayeth them that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. Surely I'm taking these verses out of context but the point it's making still stands. While we're at it, Christians why are so fond of quoting Psalms 14:1 against Atheists? "Thou fool says in his heart there is no God" What's so special this verse, How the hell do you know that it's inspired by God and not just the word of some nobody that lived a long time ago.
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 month agoWhy do men decide to have children? Do they not realize that life is as difficult as concrete and very very expensive? ?
I guess all those things go out the window when you are with the "one" but that can always change and Children are an irreversible condition once their born. Coming from an Antinatalist point of view, it's only possible in perfectly conceived cruel sadistic world that someone's 10-15 seconds of fun could pass on a on to a sentimental being pain receptor capacities while having to face an inevitable without any guarantee in the world that all of their basic needs are always going to be meet until they are capable of meeting them on their own (Hunger, Thirst, shelter, sex) and having to be a slave to an over-inflated piece of paper created by the government only valuable because society gives it value and no also no guarantee in the world that they are going to be competent enough to make a living on their own which is why a lot of otherwise smart people go broke and become homeless.
4 AnswersSingles & Dating1 month agoWhy does the Virginia DMV have a license plate that says "In God We Trust" with the American flag?
In the absence of a unified consensus on the question does "Does God exist" why is it so damn difficult for the American government which taxes me to understand that the government has absolutely no right to write a controversial word like "God" on government property, paper money and license plates because it is disrespectful to secular American citizens like myself. What if a Liberal Atheist that loves Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, the OG liberals that would have taken out King Donald and I want to have the American flag on my car's license plate without the word "God"? Will the government comply with my request? Even those who argue that the word "God" can also be interpreted to mean a supernatural creator apart from monotheistic thought, that still is a violation of freedom of religion because an Atheist like myself also rejects Deism because I don't believe that an all powerful supernatural creator could create a universe and not have a recollection of what's going on in it for the same B.S. reason that Christians want to special plead and say that God doesn't have to know everything at once and didn't know what was going to happen in the garden of Eden or be partially responsible for the creation of evil and pain in this world.
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 month agoThomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson were they the original "**** your conservative feelings" patriots?
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. It's absolutely revolting to liberals like myself when Trump's lowlifes use Jefferson's quotes to support the second amendment when it comes a liberal mindset of giving the people to the right to take out a tyrant like King Donald. I sincerely Like making middle class Americans work for an over-inflated piece of paper to help support the ultra rich and over-priced Capitalist bills while allowing the manslaughter of hundreds of thousands of people because we had pig brain-dead narcissi tic moron in charge of the country. No wonder there is so much racism in the failed divide country when conservatives become enraged because a piece of cloth is set on fire.
1 AnswerPolitics1 month agoDoes it surprise you a single bit that only a ridiculously absurd God like the God of the bible could create the "forbidden fruit" and ?
make it so irresistible that it's guaranteed that the fallen beings will partake of it and love it so much over what an invisible fairy tells them to do? like masturbation and then expect men to be able to perfectly not have a single lustful thought for the rest of their lives and only spread their seed when trying to make a baby. Seriously how much of a clown do you have to be to able to do that. I guess that's why many Catholics and Mormons are miserable to the point of suicide by the chains of a harmful delusion.
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 month agoAtheist comedy, do you think that God is a super horrible creator?
If your creation is messed up then it's because the creator is a mess and couldn't envision something better because he is not all powerful or all-knowing. My point is that even a 2 year not satisfied with his crayon scribblings on a white sheet of paper might have the cognitive ability to recognize that he does not like his creation. So why not someone as powerful as God?
6 AnswersPhilosophy1 month agoAll religions operate on the principles of humans not knowing "Why are we here" and "what happens after we die"? Do you agree?
if it could be proven philosophically that we do have free will and our actions are not predetermined and that new human beings born were not magical angels waiting to come down to earth and that absolutely nothing happens to your consciousness after you die then no religions would exist. Even superstitious intimating crap like reincarnation , Karma or being trapped in a spiritual prison if you take your life (Suicide)?
6 AnswersPhilosophy1 month agoScientific knowledge doesn't have to be infalliable before it can qualify to the status of Knowledge? Correct?
Like the law of gravity? is it okay to assert with absolute conviction that there is 0% percent that Yahweh exists? Even though philosophical verficationists would argue against that because we don't have infallible knowledge of the inner workings of the universe which in theory seems like a philosophical impossibility?
7 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 month agoWhy did the human brain evolve to believe in God's?
My only explanation is that it must have been misery for cavemen in the African savannah looking at the Milky Way Galaxy and not having all the answers they wanted. Human existence is absurd in the grand scale of the cosmos.
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 month agoFellow Atheists, Do you think that other religions like Hinduism and Buddhism are harmful to the human mind even though they haven't killed ?
As much as other cult groups that preceded Christianity and Islam. Christians have killed themselves like street dogs because they couldn't agree about doctrines in the gospels like the Eucharist wafer between Catholics and Protestants and protestants have caused violence for their dislike of Catholics idol ship of saint figures. Islam... Well you already now. But Hinduism and Buddhism are harmful because they coerce human beings into being good because of Karma bullsh!t and the dangers of reincarnating into something you don't want.
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 month agoWill the DSM-5 ever rightfully promote religious beliefs to being delusions.?
Religious beliefs are delusions even if God exists or if Jesus rose from the dead or even if miracles are possible and Atheists are wrong and we're going to your God's hell. Verificationists believe that questions like "Does God exist" or "is there life after death" are meaningless because they cannot be verified by our external senses either until you die or you would need to have an infallible understanding of the inner workings of the universe (Which seems philosophically impossible) . All proofs of God and Jesus's existence are intense biased psychological emotion based subjective human testimonies which cannot be replicated on demand by other skeptics unless they accept a bit of gullability (Why can't Christians supernaturally make me a believer by the laying of Hands if they have the power of Christ or why don't Mormons demand that God show himself on demand at one of their holy temples and I promise to be a Christian for all my life) Atheism is basically "I have not been convinced that there is a thing "out there" that cares about humans and wants a personal relationship with me")
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 months agoAll human morals are COMPLETLY subjective and arbitrary, Do you agree or disagree?
This is coming from a liberal Atheist AntiNatalist point of view so please don't answer with religious/Christian moral non-sense. We don't have a full moral theory on how morals come to be the way that they are but it's reasonable to believe that pragmaticism geared us toward empathy and compassion because it was evolutionary advantageous toward social cooperation being able to relate to unknown people beyond our immediate family and because of the development of mirror neurons. It takes time for morals to become as objective as they feel such as not murdering or raping people which is why people in ancient time had no problem with committing "atrocities" because they believed they were "God's people" and "had his divine reassurance in that what they were doing was morally right" Now there's no rational reason to believe that we live in a universe guided by a monster that would want to create as much suffering as possible especially against Animals and especially against innocent animals that could be abused by a psychopath and if he created this universe then I would gladly walk to hell in protest.
20 AnswersPhilosophy2 months agoThe founding fathers know that political parties would lead to the downfall of America, so why did the set the bar so high for impeachment?
it takes 2/3 of the senate to convict a King and even they couldn't foresee a king ruling this country hundreds of years later. I guess they never though that one political party would become the defense of a spineless coward at all costs and never convict him of his crimes. Why not just a simple majority?
4 AnswersPolitics2 months agoHas it ever crossed conservatives heads that the 2A is the product of liberal thinking so that people like Trump are thrown out of power?
Conservatives pervert liberal quotes from our founding fathers to justify their take down of the globalists, the communists, socialists and the tyrants like Nancy Pelosi. if King George 3 would have been the king of the thirteen colonies living in their territory they would have taken him outside by force. America just had a King as president.
like Thomas Paine would have said "I'm going to enjoy sticking my dagger in the fat gluttonous King's belly".
