I dont belive in ancient dick choppers conception of a diety, but I am not against the idea that there is some greater force that in this simulation that always flips my toast butterside down on the floor.

@Ondsinet Cause otherwise in the far future, you're either an atheist, or you're a luddite who wants to retcon physics to match their religion

I don't see the need of something soprannatural to explain the universe

Not super natural

we are just in garrysmod

Yeah, and that's not deism really

Oh

So what is

<:pepe_sweat:378719424548569088>

<:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

what were talking about again?

@Fitzydog also I literally grew up in churches and religious families and circles, but no one wanted to change science with religion

I'm about to eat dinner, and I don't think people here want me to go on an hour long rant filling up <#372507611284766722>

Why should that change?

Yeah I'm probably not ready either at 3 am lol

Where I grew up, science was considered 'at odds' with religion

People only shoehorned in what they felt was compatible with what the bible said, in a literal reading

Also, *literal* extra dimensional bearded sky-daddy on a throne.

Who alive today is most likely to be god?

You are the god in your own life?

But your not omnipotent

@Fitzydog I don't disagree those people exist

But I hate myself? Is that consistent with the religious text regarding god?

'God' is an anthropomorphized ideal that is emergent from the collective unconcious of society

I got into the"skeptic" part of YouTube by debating them

Inb4 lol I m so depresed imma kms

@AlephKnoll You might be a greek god?

But I don't think those two are the only outcomes, atheist and anti science tards

Fuck the greeks.

It sounds like fundamentalists really poisoned your outlook early on Fitzy

Literally.. they're hot.

@AlephKnoll Like ""hatehimselfues"

I'm just saying, that there's less and less room for a physical deity as our conception of reality is more fleshed out, and that we have to expand on the metaphysical implications of religion more

Hmm

Looking more inward (not in an egotistical way), but broadly across all humans

Well, being real is really limiting.

What if religion is just a cutdown version of a prehistoric civilization who found out the true creation of life many thousands of years ago, but most detailed explanations of it have been destroyed after a civilization destroying event 12000 years ago, leaving nothing but the most primitive explanation?

What like the B plot of Assassin's Creed?

And our modern religions evolved out of that

tbh, the "divine spark" of consciousness is less understood and more mystical than the creation of the universe ever could be

I've never plaid any AC game other than the American Revolution one.
