Christianity Is The BEST Religion....

[Astreja]

I have no problems with God and Christianity, that would be you...

Yes, I do have a problem with your alleged god and with Christianity.  It pains me to see so many people wasting their lives on spiritual vaporware.

and no science doesn't have real answers all the time, astrophysics has moved into the realm of fairy tales big time they have come up with a thousand ways the earth will be destroyed and yet in the supposed 4 billion years of time for this planet none of them have happened, in four billion years by their telling the earth should have long been gone.

We already have one plausible scenario for the end of the earth:  Approximately five billion years from now, as the sun runs low on hydrogen to fuse into helium, it will become a red giant that expands and engulfs the earth.

Oh, and here's something to give you pause, GC:  This woman just woke up one morning last August and her faith was gone without a trace.  No rhyme or reason to it, just... gone.  It could happen to you.  It could happen to someone you love.  It could happen to anybody.

I'm happy for her, but I'm puzzled.  Normally deconversion is accompanied by a lot of pondering and struggle and emotional upheaval.  Given the suddenness and the spontaneity in this case, I'm wondering how the mind actually processes religious beliefs and whether the brain just gets tired of maintaining the "faith" circuitry and all its cognitive dissonance, and shuts it down altogether.

ETA:  And, after reading this vile misrepresentation of my words --

The laws of physics do not preclude evolution.

At all.

Neither does the ultimate fate of the universe, whatever it may be, nullify what is happening right now in living organisms all over this planet.

So you're saying physics is junk science, how loyal of you.

-- I hope you *do* lose your faith.  But not the easy way.  I want it to be as painful for you as possible.   I want you to sweat metaphorical tears of blood, and weep real tears, as you lie in your bed with the darkness closing in on all sides, and your heart racing in a total panic.

I do not forgive people who lie about me.  Ever.
