thats a foolish perspective the posistion they theists use has moved since hitchens
Lol feminists are new age
Lexicon but when you say the internet do you mean talking to people like this online, or was it people on youtube, books and debates with people like Christopher hitchens

I can't imagine someone on discord converting someone unless they were already lacking in what they believe
I mean anyone who believes in a higher power is a fool but, the action of believing can have merit in and of its self. being able to deny reality is useful for some people.
@NightOwl the final nail in the coffin was in fact a 6 hour debate i lost
A coping mechanism yes I can see that
amazing
People show up at church more when times are tough
Everyone here is making the assumption that the most important part of christianity is the Higher Power thing, as if you could be passive about it and not actually do any reading
??
Do you believe in the divine right of kings?
And queens?
Claiming there can't be a higher power simply because you decided to reject it, or because somebody else told you to, is also foolish.
everyone speaking right now is an atheist but Broo
To disregard the Bible as literature along with many other important classical works, is foolish at best, and self-destructive to society at worst.
You guys like monarchy right?
@Deleted User I'm american, so no
If voluntary
the only type of monarchy I can *tollerate*, but don't exactly like, is a constitutional monarchy
constitutional monarchy like Britain where the monarch doesnt exercise powers
na i bible is a terrible book as someone who was in line to be a pastor i must say, worst book ever. fails on almost all levels, it's important like remembering the nazis is important
The queen is the single largest land owner in the world apparently.
good for her
Then your pastor studies, or whatever it was called, must have sucked. Or you didn't read many books yourself.
Pretty crazy, she owns whole countries like Canada and New Zealand
i would never say that there is no higher power thats retarded, saying any higher power exists that we came up with is just as much so .
Except a dozen or so people a couple of millennia ago were willing to die under torture convinced they had witnessed concrete proof of higher power.
if there was a real god and he gave man true wisdom beyond his limits of the time, it would be the only holy book. yes humans are terrible for that
false memories are not only a thing they are common. theres a reason science doesn't work of off non repeatable results
Worshipping the Sun directly makes much more sense.
people dont make truth
people find truth by testing the world and reconfirming it works the same way through out the world.
Of course you can always claim what people say happened might have been all a conspiracy.
I still don't get what @Deleted User is trying to accomplish. It's like they don't actually fully understand their own position whatsoever.
Just saying if you wanted to worship a higher power, there's one you can see and feel.
if i were to ever lower my standard for what is true to the point where i believed the bible again i would be forced to accept the claims of many religions
@Fitzydog hooty is a troll
