murder is wrong

people need to make sacrifices

capitalism is the best way to operate in the world as we know

and capitalism is something of a christian concept

whereas, if you act as if murder and stealing is good, show me that culture now

clearly, behaving in some ways, and believing one idea is better than another, yields different results

so is capitalism more real than communism?

capitalism is more aligned with human reality as far as we're concerned

Capitalism operates in the absence of gods. It certainly isn't evidence for gods.

i can point to an object, i cant point to a thought, why is the thought not real, even though it can 'exist' in every living thing's head

define 'gods'

because it seems to me that 'god' means the reality of the universe

and when people align with that as much as possible, things go much better for them

I'm on a phone. If you're going to ask me to define God's, give me time to respond and don't insert your own.

As noted previously with the fae:
Entity or entities possessing sapience, "magic powers" able to affect the real world, and an interest in the goings on of the world and it's inhabitants.

Something roughly close to this, as I recall, was Hitchens' definition.

Loose "deist" or Einstein's pantheist "universe is God" ideas don't have interest in humans the way Yahweh and the deities of most religions have. They're also lacking a sapient mind or agenda.

These niggas typing some crazy ass fanfiction up in here.

I'm not interested in unprovable, vague deist-gods.

As Sam Harris once said, "If God exists, he is either evil or incompetent."

in his definition

thought in my framework, you could think god is evil because Entropy is natural

Christians, by definition, believe in a specific character described in a particular book.

but the fact people can do things that push entropy away, idk

that might be true if we mean the hardcore christians, cryo

there are some that dont think of it that way

and also, it doesnt necessarily matter

Deism was a cheap means for Enlightenment-era religious skeptics to softball their mounting atheism to a public still heavily divided along secular, institutional religious lines

That being, Yahweh, does not exist. Gods like him don't exist.

whether its something they literally believe or not, people act in the same way

I believe that people are animals, and shouldn't worry so much about animalistic tendencies. ||Except for the niggers, as they have proven to me time, and time again that they are more animal than man.||

thats the great thing about stories

if you think its literal or metaphorical, youll behave the same way

I disagree

so if you have some literal minded people that will believe anything theyre told, if its Christianity, chances are they wont be problematic people

evidently, thats been the historical case

Until they stone witches.

That may have been the case before the advent of modern methods of discerning scientific or historical fact, but as it stands today, believing in the unfalsifiable is dangerous because of the opportunity cost

Or kill each other in Ireland.

@Cryosite or hate on gay people

Look, if they didn't want to be stoned, they shouldn't have turned Billy Bob into a frog.

well i do have one thing to add which is Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and North Korea
