Religious famb... Keep it funky...

I'll be straight honest...I was raised Super Saiyan Catholic, was an alter server(no molestation, too swole), and the past 5 years, I've finally become a non-believer.

It's so hard fighting the brainwashing that still lurks my brain, so I sympathise and don't argue wit those that still have their faith. I just keep my **** to myself, and vote/support for secularism in America. I'm not in the business of unplugging other dudes from their religious Matrix, they need to take that pill themselves.

U mad because I won't be baited into a debate and get furious about your opinion? You and whoever agrees with you can go do some research.

No one is mad

You just seem to assume that everyone who isn't religious is a TV obsessed slob

So maybe YOU should do more research because apparently you missed the part of the scripture that speaks against passing judgment on others

"Do your own research", thats what you always hear from the flat earthers, and all the other conspiracy types. Religion isnt that much different though i guess.

That's not a coincidence. A lot of flat earthers are actually very religious

Same as the young earth creationists

Not prideful. Just 100% confident in my belief. 

Creationists are just baffling to me, as it's very rare here. I just can't imagine the mental gymnastics one must go through to believe the dinosaurs' existence doesn't negate their theory but is designed by god to test their faith.

Why even MAKE Lucifer if you knew what he was going to end up doing

Lucifer is merely the personification of the five bodily senses your consciousness was endowed with when you were born.

Where lack of research could lead to. Calling the creator of the heavens and earth a tyrant. But hey, see you on Judgement Day.

The poorest in a long time.

Like it was better when Muslim NTers decided to stay out of these threads cuz they ain't want these logical Ls. At least they were go eat about it.

Time before that I remember one dude wrapped in that circular logic and confirmation bias about Islam not taking from myths and religions that predated it.

To the people that don't believe in God, religion, etc...

What exactly was it that confirmed your stance against it? Was it just reading the Bible/Quran whatever or was it certain writings, books, YouTube videos? The reason I'm asking is because in the majority of my conversations w/ non-believers they demonstrated a high level of knowledge of the religions that they choose not to follow.

Honestly it never made sense to me,growing up black means you are automatically heavily indoctrinated. I'm a HUGE reader of EVERYTHING, that right there pretty much guaranteed it was impossible for me to me Judeochristian at the very least.


I mean the bible is a very well written work of historical fiction (yea oxymoron). i've always had an interest in comparative religion and mythology.

I can understand this. What doesn't make sense to me is believing something only because that's how you were brought up. I just feel like we should research and know why we feel the opposite as well. Using the Bible is tricky because of the vague writing styles that lead to different interpretations. I honestly don't understand a lot of the stuff written. That's why I'm looking for different reference points to get a better idea.

I can write paragraphs about how I grew up Christian and all the doubts I had, but I think what it really comes down to is that none of it really makes sense. It really just sounds like it depicts the culture of a certain time period and tries to impose a moral code for people to follow. 

This idea that god created the world just so that it would worship him and gets angry when it doesn't is just hilarious to me.

Just everything around me. And logic.

Unlike most of the participants of this thread i dont know much about the bible (grew up catholic btw) or quran, and dont care to. Religion will still be unecessary nonsense to me.

And like other dude said, understanding human nature. This played a role as well.

I'm reading through the first few chapters of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, a very famous christian author. He not only wrote "christian books", but also books like The Chronicles of Narnia which have crossed into mainstream media.

I don't have the book on hand, and I know I'm butchering his words a bit, but he talks about how would we know the difference between right and wrong if we had nothing to base it upon? Like how we would as humans develop morals and laws on our own if there was no example laid out for us by God? I'm intrigued to finish the book.

There is also a trend in current "progressive" churches if you will to not follow the God vs science debate, but instead point out how they actually work together sometimes instead of always working against each other. It's like we have been told we must choose and science believers are inherently more intelligent because they point to fact instead of just "believing".

I heard a pastor recently on podcast who has a church that volunteers along with other churches at prisons in the area. He asked the warden about the registered programs the jail had on file to "better" the inmates if you will. There was no religious affiliated organizations volunteering other than Christian ones. Made me think - how come Christians seem to be the ones that are always at the forefront of not only converting non-believers, but helping the oppressed of any race, background, gender, etc. Yes, that includes the LGBT community. Christianity's love knows no bounds; it's not inclusive to a certain people. It's open to anyone.

The catholic molestation saga is a black mark on the Catholic Church and Christianity as a whole, but it is not a representation of the whole. There are bad apples in any organization, just like we are seeing with the police right now. The media gets a hold of it and does what it can to make you believe it's the majority when in reality it is in the minority.

All these charities, churches, In God We Trust on our money, people getting married in churches, etc and it's all a hoax to control people? I guess all of us are complete brainwashed idiots and all of those who came before us for hundreds of years are the same. The Bible being the most translated book ever is just a coincidence.

The problem with Christianity and to my limited knowledge of other religions is when the "believers" make the religion to be what they want it to be instead of following it in its true form. That's why you have all these terrible organizations like the KKK and the Westboro baptist church do their thing in the name of the Lord and who give a bad name to Christianity. The Christian God does not give them permission to do what they do in their name.
