Tower of Babel and all that. And mortality. I don't understand how a Christian can possibly think of life as having any meaning (or accuse non-believers of finding life meaningless) if the only reason we're hear is so their god can stroke his ego-prick to how superior he is to us.
You got to be very careful Ast before you accuse somebody.
You need evidence Ast not guessing or taking from what religions say.
God did not start religions nor He did write religious books.
Have you got any evidence that God started religions or that He agree with what religions say?
If not then stop making accusation that God said this or that or that God is a nasty entity.
And what about mortality?
How do you know what mortality is all about?
You see the chap physically dying but where is the evidence that the consciousness die as well?
Your ideas are all build on guessing and on what religions say.
In other words you write things that have no value of whatsoever.![]()
Provocative little jackass, I think I remember you.
I'm using the same evidence that everyone else uses when they're talking about Yahweh, I just use 'god' because it's shorter and I specifically named Christians as the espousers of belief in the god we're talking about (nice straw man, by the way, turd) since they're the ones who promote this false idea of the character of the mass-murderer they worship. The existence of this being is not only absurd and logically impossible (in other words, irrelevant) but the belief in it is still present and incredibly strong despite having zero justification and every reason NOT to believe or promote it. And I'm not uncomfortable with mortality, it simply stands that if there is a proposed eternal afterlife (not that I would personally find that desirable even if it was in a paradise) then compared to this life, it is less 'nice' for lack of a better term before I've had my coffee. And the evidence that the consciousness can die is that a person can be brain dead and still physically alive but no longer be 'themselves'. If you are religious and strong in your conviction, I can make an educated guess that this utterly base stupidity on your part is the result of what it's done to your ability to think and reason and I pity you. But the moment you become an agent of this faith and spread it to others (children in particular), that pity vanishes and you become an antagonist, so I hedge my bets and assume everyone tries to pull that crap at some point, so I'm a bit short with people regardless.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
