How to select which supernatural to believe?

[The Grand Nudger]

It's true that the more murderous and repressive an area was at any given time, public expressions of dissenting viewpoints (about anything) were relatively rare.  A weird flex, but true.

Do I need to mention that the majority of the world population today is religious, including in highly developed countries like the U.S. ? If belief in God were solely motivated by fear and repression, you wouldn't have many believers nowadays in these countries.

Who said anything about belief in god being motivated solely by fear and oppression?  I agreed..as you pointed out, that in very religious societies, dissenting expressions are relatively rare.  That, my cognitively impaired muslim friend, is a product of fear and repression. Think about that the next time you;re hanging out with your fellow islamists. Some of the stuff you think they believe in, with you. and stuff they probably even said they -did- believe..same as you? They're lying. To your face.

I am yet to read, at least once in my life, a sound argument for God or the afterlife not existing. What we do know for sure is that if a just God exists, an afterlife definitely exists. You're clearly asserting that there are no gods, the burden of proof is on you now.

Another absurd non sequitur.  Sure, though, insomuch as I would claim that no gods exist the burden would be on me to have a suitable demonstrate of that. It's been demonstrated to my satisfaction, which might explain why I consider the matter settled, huh?

Objecting to religion on the grounds that it benefits priests is an appeal to consequences, a fallacy.

Then I guess it's a good thing that's not what cavarka did?  

I got to tell you, I find it really hard to believe, that you were never inclined to believe in some sort of higher power, or that you never wished there is a very powerful being who can redress all the forms of injustice. I can understand if you found christianity repelling or implausible, or if you thought this religion represents God's intentions.

Beliefs like the resurrection and the original sin surely repelled many many people. The idea that a God will sacrifice himself, then raise himself from the dead so that we, his creation, can be saved, has no plausibility whatsoever. The idea that there is a Father, a Son, a Holy Spirit, and that they cannot exist without one another, resembles the weird fantasies people read in Japanese manga, it's obviously contrived and made up- with all due respect, ofc, to any christian who reads this. Nontrinitarianism is clearly more plausible, I just don't understand why it's not the mainstream christian doctrine.

Good luck with finding it hard to believe that I was never a theist.  You understand why I find christianity repelling, and you probably could understand why I find islam repelling.  But you're too busy doubting that I am what I am, or that I would know that better than you.  Crank.
