I get that it’s supposed to entice people to follow the commandments

That's not true at all though

Wdym?

People wouldn’t follow the commandments if there was no penalty

Well yes

eye for eye is also in the bible

but God does not encourage us to follow him out of fear

allah does 🗿

that’s another problem I have with religion

He never once said "Obey me or else" this of course does not mean there is no "or else" but His reasoning for demanding our obedience is love

I’ve actually been thinking about religion and shit

I would be religious

if I cared

about other people

Or other things

Your religion is corporate atheism.

Own it, and be great.

My religion is science

Science is no religion

it was a joke

monkey

you may be religious about it but there is objective higher calling or sense of duty associated with science

what ever man

@Colonel Sanders™ that's not nice

I just don’t believe in wasting my time

Worshipping to something that most likely doesn’t exist

even if.... we all need something to hope in

Death

But it is absolutely very likely to exist

otherwise, life is sad

you'll see one day

I guess I’ll find out

Believing because you are sad if you don't is not true faith

faith =/=

please dont lecture me about how you think i feel or know stuff. nor my faith

it's slightly offensive

Me?

no

he’s explaining the rationale of religion to me

you’re irrelevant 🗿

i am not
