Anyway

Lol

Sorry. Im just still biding time for religious scholars to show me what im missing

I also think that culture might have something to do with religion

Like why is Islam so popular in middle east but not Europe?

Why is Orthodox popular in Eastern Europe only?

Religous people are weird

I just had a thought

Why does every religion talk about the end of the world?

Why do they care so much about an absolute end to the world?

Probably part of stoking the fire of fear. Also makes their stuff more "EPIC"

EPIC floods, EPIC fires, EPIC end of the world

That's the kind of stuff that makes a good story, no?

And that's what it is - stories

Why though? You'd think they wouldn't want an end to humans who worship god

here's one of my problems with religous people

Why does worshipping god take priority over everything else?

I mean, if you believe in an eternal afterlife, it seems like the most important thing to make sure you're not on the "naughty list", right?

But the hypocrisy is everywhere.

One blatant one that I've never really been able to put to rest - why do they mourn their dead?

Well okay but...why would god put you in the naughty list if you don't worship them?

Like, if you KNOW your kids are going to heaven

Why is it so bad for them to die in a school shooting?

Wouldn't that make god a pest

See why is hurting god worse than hurting fellow humans?

God is almighty

Lol "god works in mysterious ways"

They don't care what you do and say about them

Why would god care if you eat pork? Why would god care if you masturbate?

There's a million things

What kind of omnipotent power is watching you jerk off and...and...giving you "bad boy points" for doing it?

I'd think that a true loving god would only care about whether or not you hurt other human beings for selfish and evil reasons

It's utter insanity

ikr?

And of course, WHY have all of this suffering and awfulness in the world in the first place?

^God

Test they say

Literally, it seems to come down to "god works in mysterious ways"...AKA "for the lulz"

Well what about infants who die before they are even born?

Was that also part of the test
