That's literally the only thing I'm saying.

You wouldn't think great men would actually try to make people do right by crafting a religion that helps a society grow and thrive 🤔

Not everyone in power is evil.

Sometimes men do great things.

Fair enough

However. Islam is a shitty religion.

Agreed

Only because of cultural differences. I do believe women deserve rights.

Islam is also inauthentic because of glaring self contradictions

Same with the existence of the judeo-christian god. Omnibenevolence cannot co-exist with omniscience and omnipotence.

If he creates people knowing they are going to hell, why create them?

Also negates the existence of free will.

So i refuse to believe in a god.

People decide to go to hell

But he knowa they are going to hell regardless

I don't know about C of C where you came from, but my denomination does not teach predestination

Neither did mine.

And that is why I left the chutch

I can take the easy way out and say, it's something I can't explain

I read a book on Nihilism.

Neisztche explained a lot, despite being a madman.

Reality is that we all struggle with some questions we can't understand the answers to, questions that only make more questions

I have to accept that I don't have to know or understand everything in the universe and in fact it would be impossible

And my refusal to believe in an omni-powerful god helps me understand the universe better. There might be something out there, I don't know nor care. But I do not think it is omnipotent.

So I just walk back to the beginning. Everything came from something. Nothing is self creating. There is nothing in existence that willed itself into existence from non existence (you can see the logic here)

Then how did God create himself?

Or was he always there?

If he was always there, the universe can *technically* create itself by the same logic.

The only way to break that loop is that God is, well, God.

I see where you're coming from. However, I will have to disagree.

I can see how that would make sense.

Because if there is no God, then you would still have to accept that ultimately the universe created itself

Or, if you believe in God, it means a being, with possibly other beings, created themselves and became perfect represenations of how intelligent conscious being are to act like.

Sorry for typos btw

On my cellphone xD

But how can something self create, basically to make itself exist before it even existed? It would be like you writing a letter before you were even conceived

And it's like producing a child without having sex. The child being God.

The origins of our universe will quite possibly forever be a mystery.

And it should be that way
