>>688453122
The Egyptians, Aztecs, Myans, and Greeks worshiped multiple gods. Then it eventually became one god. How do you explain that? They thought they were right, just like how Christians think THEY'RE right. Religion was nothing more than an explanation of things they didn't understand (that's where science comes into play). It went from multiple gods to one God and eventually no God.

>>688453256

This. It's entirely spiritual. It's an instinctive psychology that ruled the world for centuries. In fact, even if you don't believe in God in his purest form, you still believe in a creator or ruler. Most people that think that way perceive it as the government or the wealthy bigwigs in the government.

>>688453648
That's theory, not proof.

Big Bang is real, evolution is real, natural sciences is real.

But it's scientifically illogical to create something from nothing, only answer is divine intervention.

God said let there be light hence the Big Bang.

Also personal opinion: God isn't a dick, if you wanna be gay and suck cock who cares, just don't hurt others.

If you need proof before you'll believe in Him, you don't deserve the glory of Heaven. If faith were not required and there was verifiable proof He exists, where's the challenge? Where's the choice? If you knew for a fact it's e ither worship Him and get into heaven or don't and go to eternal torment, literally everyone would get into heaven. The whole point of life is that God is testing us to see whether we are worthy. With no test there is no point to life.

My point is that there will never be verifiable proof until you die. He would never allow or want his existence to be "proved" to your satisfaction - the Bible should be proof enough. You can either choose to have faith, or not. It doesn't make me "super cool", it's just my choice and you've made yours. Stop seeking for proof you know you'll never find.

Have you tried even proving that there is no proof? No - you just state some dumb opinions instead about how you believe there's no proof, but don't state them directly as opinions to make them look like facts.

So -2 is transformed to a positive one, ie

You...you...you must surely be a thiest, anon

Its certainly not concidered an mental illness, to believe in a god, but that still doesnt make him exist.

The Human is selfaware, knowing that he "is" and that his lifespan is limited. To avoid the psychological pressure that comes with said knowlege, the human wants to believe into something greater, something that comes after the supposed endless void of nothingness that is death.

So the Human, even in his early stages, created the concept of gods, to ease their minds in life.

Religion is but a mere sideeffect of an inteligent Species and will maybe cease to exist as this species evolve.

>>688456097
You're believing that the Bible is true - it's not evidence unless you prove its real beyond any belief system

Do you even think before you talk? There is no "defeat", I never needed or w anted proof that God exists - I accept that he does on faith, which if you read the Bible you'd find is kind of the entire foundation of the religion.

God could have removed free will from the equation and just created a race of obedient good Christians where everyone gets a reward, but he wanted to give us a choice (again, read the Bible, this isn't my "opinion"). The bar isn't even very high, but it has to be up to us whether we want to accept salvation or choose eternal damnation. Proving he exists would take all the choice out of it.

atheism isn't real. it's just a label made by the religious. you don't need a label for something you don't do

Nothing can spontaneously happen. The universe, the way humans are made, nature, the beautiful things nature can do like photosynthesis. You see, if there wasn't any bad in the world then people would believe there is a god, but that's not really faith that's just assuming Theres a god being that nothing bad happens. And a topic this discussed quite often is "why do bad things happen then" there has to be bad in the world so you can compare it to the good. As mentioned before if everything was amazing then everyone would believe in God. God won't give you a sign of u ask him to prove he's there. Then you would know he's there. That's why religion is all based around faith. Believing in a true God. Why is the illuminati an organization? Because it's about worshipping Satan, selling your soul to him for good fortune. If there's a devil then there's a God.

What if this system is better if only few know how to truly use? Sure, life quality would probably be better if everyone knew the true meaning of this thing which might not even be an entity but just a collection of thoughts, information and energy.

>>688453648
What if science is just an explanation of things we don't understand? What if science is just as absurd as religion allegedly is. If another race came here and saw red where we see purple, who's right? What if none of this matters and we're all programmed to say and do these exact things we are doing now? Nothing you can do or say will prove otherwise. You can only believe it's real based of of things you've observed, like religion.

>>688457236
Well, how exactly do you prove 2+2 !=9?
Because 2+2 = 4 and 4!=9. You're proving a negative only by using the positive result

Cuz if it turns out your WRONG have fun spending eternity in hell. But if you actually go to church just ONCE every week and there is a god and you haven't killed anybody, congratulations! You're not going to hell

>>688457703
Your own self decides what's good or bad. Or however society sees it. For instance /b/ might think the holocaust, 9/11, etc was funny but then there's normal people who know its bad and unfortunate.

>>688457906
the universe doesn't need a creator. you are making an assumption that all this was created by a conscious and intelligent being

>>688457906
So if an athiest turns out to be wrong, he suffers in hell. He might've done awesome stuff during his life, maybe cured cancer,etc

But being a theist, if you're wrong, your entire lives on earth have been based on a lie, and that's all there actually is, since there's no afterlife. SO basically your entire existance was a joke.

Let me give an answer in the form of a small story by Isaac Asimov.

http://multivax.com/last_question.html

>>688457455
Fair point...so does that make knowledge and religion irrelevant then? Because if you think about it...we're on a rock in space. There's gotta be at least one more out there that harbors intelligent life. What if their religions and scientific research is the complete opposite of what we have? That would fuck our world inside and out. Or better yet, and this is something I've thought about...what if we're all in a computer simulation. Does that mean that religion and knowledge are just variables that are set while the player of this SIM city game we're living in just fucks around with the controls? Or what about the theory that everything has already happened but our brains had to slow down our perception in order to comprehend it all? Would that mean that everything is being simultaneously discovered, proven or disproven, and replaced or improved? Which then leads into...are we all wrong at the same time or all right at the same time.

You think god would have to be on the spectrum to not be able to sniff out someone believing only because of the baby's first whack at philisophical thinking of pascals wager

Maybe, but who's to say it's a joke and you're dead? You never know and you never will know until you truly die. Let me tell you a story. When I was 13 years old I had came back from church one night and was totally against God and everything had no faith in it whatsoever. I had asked God countless times "if you're really there, listening to me, give me a sign" and always, nothing. This is a true story, I wouldn't make this shit up just so look cool on /b/. That night I was on my computer (Sunday night) and was reading up about evolution. I got up from my computer and went to the bathroom, as I was pissing I said "maybe I should ask Satan, that is if he is real" as I flush the toilet and turn off the light and exit the bathroom I say "Satan if you're listening to this give me a sign" I fucking shit you not, the second I said that a car alarm went off outside my house. Guess who's fucking car it was, you're god damn right my fathers. Wanna know the best part? His keys were hanging on the hook in the laundry room. No one broke in and no one attempted to break in. Could I just be that in all of my life, the one time my dads car alarm goes off is at the exact same second I ask Satan to give me a sign just a rare coincidence? You could argue that. But ever since that night I've been creeped the fuck out

If you're asking who designed the designer, well that's simple. Obviously the designer's designer. And so on and so forth. It stretches into eternity, and eternity itself is proof of existence in general. It had to start somewhere, and a reaction like the big expansion needed something to actually start it off.
So, I'll tell you what I think.
Before the beginning, there was the void. The void was paradoxical in nature, and things both existed and didn't exist in there.
Eventually though, something and nothing found and didn't find a way out. It existed but didn't exist outside of the void. The end of the void both existed and didn't exist. So, the person and the nobody decided to separate the void from existence. That is absolute. The fact that you're reading this is proof. Whatever managed to do so, set off the big bang by simply existing in a stable form. This was the beginning of the timeline. Whatever set this off is the true god. We don't know for certain how he looks. He could be a bear, a man, or even a fucking squid. We don't know, because we weren't allowed to look at him even when he did appear, similar to when the sun parts the darkness. This is most likely where the association with light and god came from. If I recalled correctly, the Bible states that those who looked at him were blinded.
I can make theory upon theory as to what he can be. The sun itself? A living mesh of energy? Some primordial star? A man with powers of light? Who knows.
But, all things must come to and end, and so will this train of thought at this final stop:
Why the fuck does it matter? Just be a decent human being, and I'm sure you'll have a chance at finding salvation. Whether it be by your own hand, or of the hand of the father.
As for me, I'm confident.

Evolution. Our skulls began to change size.
At least, for the wisdom tooth.
As for the appendix, it serves a purpose. No one is certain yet, but most of the medical theories I've seen suggest that it may store bacteria beneficial to either the digestive or immune system. Google is your friend if you wanna look for yourself.

>>688459255
Let me tell you a story.
Like you, I never believed in God or the Devil, and whenever I asked for a sign from them, I got nothing.

Then one day, after taking a giant turd, I said, "Athiesm, if you're real, give me a sign"...and then I shit you not, the turd which I thought I'd flushed a few seconds ago was still there on the toilet bowl.
I was seriously freaked out and tried flushing again but it was stuck!
That creeped me the fuck out and ever since I've been an athiest.

>>688452813
Pretty simple really.
Something had to create logic and laws in the universe.

It's hard for anyone who hasn't studied college level or above to understand.

To put it simply, someone had to give variables their values so to speak.

Similar to how if you're writing a program you have to both create AND assign value to a variable before you use it. For example e=10 or int e;

In this case the smallest unit of matter is an atom. Elements are different atoms with different properties, and no matter what you do to an atom it can never be transmuted intimate another element (changing the neutrons, electrons, ect.).

Something had to have assigned specific variables to atoms. There's no way that they "just existed". Especially considering the fact that many of the elements react violently, there's no way they'd ever all be clumped into one giant sun/ball as the big bang suggests.

checked
but nowhere in the bible does it say that god is a bearded old man
hell, I doubt there's anything even considered to be a humanoid depiction of him, unless you count that weird white robed guy from genesis who wrestled with Abraham and dislocated his hip. But I think that may have just been an angel, cause they apparently showed up alot in genesis.

>>688462444
No but that doesn't prove atheism.
My point is that you cannot prove atheism as it is a set of beliefs that not religion exists just like religion is a set of beliefs that a higher power exists.

You have hundreds of books explaining why religion isn't real but do any of them even explain to you what atheism actually is? I thought not. Atheism is just another religion followed by the same type of fanatics as most religions, worshipping profilfic "atheists" as idols and believing their word is 100% true and law.

God exists because as bad as his followers are, the fedora SJWs of the world are 1000 times worse.

>could also be

are you sure about that? it's like being inside the mind of a retard

I still can't believe retarded atheists still use the "herr derr prove to me God is real with evidence" meme.

God isn't a being that WANTS to be found/proven. If God showed up floating over Jerusalem all "I'm back everyone! YOLO!" it would change the entire dynamic of the world (which he wouldn't want).

A lot of scientists believe that parallel universes are real, but have you ever been to a parallel universe?

>>688463866

You mean turn the world into well behaving individuals knowing eternity of hell is facing them? Yeah sounds like a pretty shit thing he could do.

>>688463602
that's the rationality of a 4 year old

>>688464004
that is a theory that still needs proof. god doesn't even qualify as a theory. it's pure nonsense

>>688464014

All of our free will would be taken away inadvertently. God gave use free will for a reason and how we use that free will is predicated on whether or not we think God exists and how our decisions will be judged by him.

If everyone knew God exists, his little soap opera that he's got going here on Earth would turn into a bunch of fake shit with no one doing anything.

>>688463367
Maybe, but this is posible to humans?

>>688463866
so why did he supposed show up to humans 2000 years ago and be all like "sup bros. check me out" and then wont ever appear again? There is currently no one religion that contains a majority of the world's population. We are so separated, believing the other 2/3rds of the world "got it wrong" and will burn in hell for it. Why wouldnt he come down again and unite the world in the one true belief? To end wars. To scare criminals straight with the fear of damnation if they dont stop. Nah, fuck all that right?

>>688464014
The problem with that is that he wants us to live with free will. He gave us minds and bodies, and he made it so that he can use them himself. Think about it now. Do you really wanna know that your children will only behave when you're there in the room with them?
And a follow up. Do you wanna raise some weakling who can't do shit for himself, because 'daddy will handle it for me'?

He taught us right and wrong, and stopped actively meddling as much to allow us to apply the skills he taught us to work.

>but why do we need skills? why aren't we just in heaven?

Because, simply put, that isn't what he wants.

>>688464383
>All of our free will would be taken away inadvertently. God gave use free will for a reason and how we use that free will is predicated on whether or not we think God exists and how our decisions will be judged by him.
If he knows all things, we don't have free will because he already knows what is going to happen *predetermination*
>If everyone knew God exists, his little soap opera that he's got going here on Earth would turn into a bunch of fake shit with no one doing anything.
This is what you think, and is a fallacy to think no one would do anything reminds me of fucking idiots arguing if the social support was increased more people would bludge. Look at switzerland you can live on social support and they dont have a fucking shit tier country. Fucking morons the lot of you.

But Hawkings believes even without the proof.

>>688464424
Because all gods are real. If one God revealed itself, every his would need to and if every God did, we would have a religious war like we have never seen. The world would be plunged into a new, eternal, dark age.

>>688464004
Scientists don't believe in the multiverse like christians believe in god. they are saying that it might be possible and admit there is very little proof

>>688464546
>Because, simply put, that isn't what he wants.
This is your assumption by your own logic you are applying your concepts to something that is the creator of all things. Do you realize how narcissistic and egotistical this is you stupid fuck?

>>688452813
god cant be proven and if he exists he wouldnt want to be. Religion is centered entirely on faith now whether hes real or not, its faith that allows people to open their hearts and become better human beings. having said that i became buddhist, it reconciled my disbelief in god and my desire for spirituality

>>688464617
>But Hawkings believes even without the proof

no, he doesn't

>>688464578
>If he knows all things, we don't have free will because he already knows what is going to happen *predetermination*

Just because he knows what is going to happen doesn't mean that we didn't have the free will to do it to begin with. I know my girlfriend is gonna blow me tomorrow, but it's her free will to do it or not.

>This is what you think, and is a fallacy to think no one would do anything reminds me of fucking idiots arguing if the social support was increased more people would bludge.

He didn't show up. His son did, and he made it very clear.

As for the judgemental Christians, they're obviously not being proper christians. He teaches forgiveness, but the threat of punishment is still there so that we think about our actions more. I'm sure he'd let many a good atheist in, provided that they actually were good people.

Those deserving of a reward are rewarded in the end. Those deserving of a punishment are punished in the end. And those deserving of another chance are given numerous since the beginning. It's up to an individual to choose his own path.

>>688464916
i never bought into that line of thinking on omniscience anyway. Why does being omniscient imply he knows the future? I believe he knows everything that has happened and is happening, but what happens with our lives are up to us and our free will.

I think people misunderstand the "it's God's plan" or whatever thing - yes, he does have a plan for all of us, but it's up to us if we want to follow it or not.

>>688464847
>its faith that allows people to open their hearts and become better human beings.
This is entirely wrong, I became a better human being because I want to be one, we have one life one chance wasting it by being a shit tier individual and fucking everything doesn't mean shit to me.

I love how obvious it is his dainty little wrist can't bear the weight of that moronic sword. Elbow jammed into his ribcage to brace it.
Phew boi, this one doubles as a cringe thread.

>>688464851

Actually in some papers he does, and some he doesn't. He did say that black holes could be portals to parallel universes.

>>688464838
Read the fucking bible before arguing about it's contents. He makes it clear.
This isn't narcissistic and this isn't egoistic. I'm simply going off of what he and his prophets wrote down.

>>688465377
>This isn't narcissistic and this isn't egoistic. I'm simply going off of what he and his prophets wrote down.
I have read the bible cover to cover to try and understand mentally ill minds, it is a rewritten book a thousand times over, ive read the previous iterations of the bible and they are drastically different to todays copies but you probably only read one book and were like "this is infallible" you sicken me as a human being.

>>688465235

I personally think God gets a laugh when we suprise him with an unexpected smart (or stupid) move.

And if you don't Believe in What you See... Sorry dude, you won't be in, if you don't believe ( supposing bible is true) that it came from god

>>688465245
well id have to agree with you. i didnt communicate correctly. faith is a strong avenue to open up the better side of your humanity. but its not for everyone, hence why i became buddhist. id prefer a roadmap of logical reasoning to help me be a more happy and loving individual.

>>688464847
>morality was created by belief in god

this is a fallacy. social animals like wolves and lions don't believe in god. piranhas don't eat each other and they arent religious. human infants show signs of morality before they can even understand language. go fuck yourself

I hate how religious individuals believe without the bible people dont have morals, they are ingrained into everyone and everything only those truly mentally ill cant grasp this, or are brain damaged like psychopaths or personality disorders and morality is whatever they get pleasure from and thus will seek it with no regard for anything else because the brain is programmed that way.

>>688465340
but he doesn't base his life choices on those beliefs. religious nutcases do. theres no use in comparing theoretical physics to religion

>>688465498
i think it's probably more often a reaction of exasperation

>this fucker's jacking off AGAIN?

>>688465576
those arent my words bro. i was saying that when you release control, are earnestly sorry for the shit youve done and realize that despite all that you are loved, you can in turn love others in the same way. i didnt say a damn thing about the invention of morality. empathy is the highest of emotions and requires no invention, just a push in the right direction.

youre a mental illness.

>>688465534
So he could exist
>>688464652
He could give you existance as for universe, because he's risen by himself.

He is unbelieving in true words, how he convinced christtians to be good. Whatever it's a good path.

I truly believe that there are people who don't believe in God, but for the most part they "don't believe" because of the following:

>i hate my parents. parents are christians. no God
>my priest touched me. no God
>i prayed to God for help in some traumatic life event and didn't get the result I wanted. no God
>how can i be edgy? no God
>how can I appear smarter than everyone else in the room? no God
>i'm not really oppressed by the gov't or society, but i want to cry oppression. no God
>what beliefs are probably the easiest to belittle on the internet? no God
