If God did not exist, those rules are arbitrary, so why follow them...?

God is just a metaphor for the world we live in

They are not metaphors

I agree with you.

There’s a thin line here.

They are interwoven through the message of the Bible--the Bible is a supernatural Book because it comes from a supernatural God.

Because they are good rules and a tool for me to live good by, I care about me haveing a good life and self indulgence instead the best life

Soon, you’ll start believing morality is relative, and therefore, you can do whatever you want. And you’ll fall into vice because there’s no objective authority to tell you what’s right or wrong, and if there’s no God, then the rules are useless.

If you accept the Bible, you ought accept the supernatural. It's part and parcel of it.

Like I dont care that jesus walked on water I care that Jesus thought us to care for other people

That's called hedonism. What about what happens to you after you die??

I accept the bible the same way I accept 1984

Pity

Jesus walked on water and turned bread into wine because he is Jesus.

I don’t need any explanation, it’s about faith.

The fact that Jesus is God’s Son explains it all.

I can never know what it will be , there are many versions of what it is and what do I need to do , if there is a God that I will go to heaven because I was a good person, if there is no God I will still win because I was a good person and luved a nice life

The Bible explicitly attacks atheism

Listen, you need to think long and hard about it--there is no legitimate explanation how everything exists without there being a God. It's foolish to think it came about without God being the first cause of its existence.

Like there is this quote from Tesla that kinda explains what I mean

You’re currently having a weak atheism, but what if it becomes stronger?

I think God caused the Big Bang.

Who else could’ve done something from nothing, if it wasn’t God? Tell me.

There was no Big Bang to form everything. That's a modern fairy tale. Genesis 1 completely contradicts that.

"Understing God is understand the natural world and its inner mechanism" the fact that the bible says god is everything and every is being God is the world and not some supernatural being , if you do bad the world will punish you by becoming worse (aka the world itself will be hell)

Wait, it’s a fairytale made up by the liberal agenda? @DannyNC1

It's a fairy tale made up by people that have longed to try and explain away God so they won't feel so convicted about their sins.

That's long before 'liberal agendas'

If you need God to be moral that you arent moral

Ah, that’s the part that got me back to Christianity. When there’s no God to judge your sins, you can do whatever you want.

If God doesn't exist you should still be moral lol

Would you agree?

@ELIS314 The Bible does not say 'God is everything and every being is God'

God is love

No, there's no reason for morals if God doesn't exist. Why be moral??

Isnt god everywhere?

God isn’t everything, God is God.

Because that is how I live a good life

If I am nice to people and build a good world were everyone is good to each other I win

Yeah, why should I be moral if there’s no objective morality? Morality is subjective, right???? Rape is right just because it is moral for the rapist, right?????!!! Haha!!!!

It is moral for me to kill the rapist then 🙂
