The human body doesn't have any qualities to make it capable of transcending into some ethereal plane.


Let's say I go to hell forever or whatever. Where'd I go? Did my 'spirit' only go, or am I back in my flesh and blood body? Eventually my nerves will dull to the pain, and if somehow they're magically kept sensitive then the big nerve in my brain will become dull, and if that's somehow magicked up then changing my brain really just changes me entirely so it wasn't even me in Hell anymore, just some husk in the flames.

If it's my spirit? Well, first off, I don't even know how you wrap your head around the idea that there's a magical ghost in your body, why would there be? What function would it serve? Was it only placed there so that God could torture it later? Kind of a dick move. Being omniscient, he knew he was gonna fuck my ghost in the end. But what if *I* am my spirit, then what purpose does my brain serve? Is the brain just some fatty anchor for the spirit to stay in the body? What constitutes death then? When does the spirit know to leave the body? Where does it go?

Is my spirit just some VR where I'll be forced to go through simulations of shitty experiences forever? Eventually God is gonna have to up his game or I'm going to get used to even his worst shit with enough time, or he's just going to have to make me a braindead ghost vegetable, either way, doesn't matter.

In order for something to begin to exist, something must cause it to... but God never began to exist, he simply always existed.

Even if you reject God, you will have to accept that there was *something* that has always existed. otherwise you will find that whatever caused the universe needed a cause to begin, which in turn needs a cause to begin which also needed a cause of its own ad infinitum. Without something having always existed, existence simply can't get started.

You see, introducing God doesnt make it logical. You have to start somewhere, but why not the universe? It is illogical that it came from nothing, but the answer it was created by God who came from nothing doesnt make it more logical and has one superfluos detail.

False.
The current cosmological model does not refer to any point at which the singularity "began" to exist, as time itself was not a factor and non-existence would imply a point in time prior.

Religion formed so that people could cope with the fear of death and that the powerful could use it to extort and control the masses.

Fear of a king punishing you? Enough angry peasants will just rise up eventually and not fear a king.

Bruh just do whatever you were gonna do anyway, he already knows you were gonna do it. He knew you were gonna question this shit right now, and knows what you're gonna do because you thought about it.

lmao, I miss being 16

Religion formed to tie together tribes of otherwise hostile people in order to move on from simple nomadic hunter/gathere life to agriculture . The oldest permanent human settlements were agrarian societies centered around temples like Göbekli Tepe.

Modern civilization would never have been possible if sheep fuckers from thousands of years ago wouldn't have come up with the idea of religion.

You might want to actually read about the subject, think about it really hard, and only then come to a conclusion next time. Unless you only want to listen and believe what your marxist teachers tell you, that is.

There's 3 major religions. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. They all have the same God, and each one is just an addition on top of the other.

I didnt meant that i believe everything's real. i mean that i cannot know it, so why bother try to? The only information I got is that i have thoughts. I can suppose that i'm in a madhouse and it is all a delusion, or i'm ai, or its all simulation truman show or ehe Thirteenth Floor, but i have no reasons and no ground to believe that. The simplest supposition is that i get information from sensory organs, and until i get evidence to the contrary i will stick to it.

You don't know that either.

But my point still stands - you're running on an assumption because you want to use that as an assumption. I want to use God as an assumption, so I do. It's exactly the same thing.

perhaps they're not moving away? perhaps it's an optical illusion?

Maybe they're angels playing tricks on us?

Have you even been on the sun? No!

You dont know it it'll attempt to bite you when you touch it.

So there go your big bang theory out the window.
>>
>>70142976
yet the most simple solution is to think that matter (atoms and what compose them) is that only something.

And again, big bang is not about creation of matter. It's a "dilatation" of matter that was already there.

why believing in some old guy in the sky, when matter is all this universe is ?

>>70143919
I actually agree that choosing the universe as the thing that always existed is a viable solution to this problem... for the most part.

The main issue I have with this solution is that it appears we do not live in a eternal universe, and I have a few reasons to believe so, but the biggest is Entropy.

Our universe, taken as a whole, it continuously winding down, as energy is used and left in less and less useful states. An infinite universe means infinite time for this winding down to occur... in such a case you would expect the universe to already be long dead.

>>70138727
I believe in the concept and possibility that a god-like being is out there and may or may not have been the creator of everyone, no one can fucking know. But if you believe in an organized religion, if you say that the christian god is right, mudslime god is right, or even as an atheist to say that there is 100% no god, it is all fucking retarded. A god may exist, but to claim that your '''''''''''''''''''religion'''''''''''''''''' is the right one is the stupidest, most ignorant thing I hear

Its differant. I make an assuption that info comes from sensory organs because the info is all ive got and cannot confirm or falsify the info using this very info. But im ready to reconsider it in the future if i get something else. Thats epistemology. But beyond epistemology, in info i get i dont make arbitrary assumptions (like that elves exist). In info iget i see no reason to believe in God.
You didnt tell me bout your epistemology btw
>>
>>70149153
>because it's all I've got
No, you have a whole lot more than that - your thoughts are not dependent on sensory experience. In fact, to even talk about sensory experience, your thought *MUST* precede them and subsequently process them. And there's not one way to process them - you can think about any given thought however you'd like. But you attach yourself to the assumption that your sensory experience is real *when you don't have to*. You choose to because you want to.
My epistemology is soft-solipsistic at root, but not at all when I take God as an axiom (which I do).
>>
>>70148856

If life is a test and we discover god by science what test would that have been. he created the universe and it is expanding ,so when we look with a telescope we see real far .he knew this thousands of years ago. also in the bible god disrupted scientific progress so now we are right where we are suppose to be

Okay. Indeed. I'll have to work on this one some more.

is a historically suggested theory of the ultimate fate of the universe. In the language of physics, this is when the universe reaches thermodynamic equilibrium (maximum entropy).

Okay, scenario time.

Poor ole GramGram is getting old, she don't see well, she don't hear well, but damn does she smell.

I go into GramGram's room and hit her in the head with a hammer, GramGram don't hear see or smell shit now and is basically a vegetable.

Now, to GramGram, she could be experiencing any number of things. Fuck if I know, I'm in jail now. But when the social worker goes in to check on GramGram all he sees is some old husk sitting in bed drooling. Well, he and GramGram are seeing differnent shit now right? Well, no one else sees what GramGram sees, but another worker comes in and sees an old husk drooling and shitting itself, and then the rest of GramGram's family comes in and sees the same thing.

GramGram may be having some epiphany or spiritual experience, but every other human on the planet just sees a shit covered vegetable.

I think GramGram may just be brain damaged.
>>
>>70149982
Altogether you've put a lot of work into establishing and refining your position (and I regrettably have not); but in the end it's still the equivalent of "God exists. Prove me wrong."

No, I don't ever ask to be proven wrong. And I only say "God exists" as my belief and a core assumption in how I'm going to operate. You can believe what you like - I'm going to hold that there is a God and we're all ultimately accountable to Him.

>>70150457
>Well, he and GramGram are seeing differnent shit now right?
Not necessarily. They could be "seeing" the same thing. Or neither could have any thoughts to begin with - the worker might be an automaton with only the cursory appearances of being a human and having thoughts. GramGram too.

Maybe some observable evidence for evolution

science tells us if a human has hate and anger in him this is because we still have parts of evolution from reptiles in our brain.

How is it possible that a animal does not have this a cat does not think he is a former evoluted animal he is a cat . a cow is cow and a dog is a dog

Logic is used when youre cooking soup or playing chess, to achieve a goal, when you find god you've achieved your goal in your search.

as for evidence, if you're a dense dimwit you or deep down you're just too scared then you wont recognize the evidence for evidence even if it's in front of your eyes

>>70153919
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

I must be insane to be atheistic.

I have to be insane, because that's the only way I can account for the fact that so many people in the world can actually believe the wild and wacky shit they do and not see how wild and wacky it is. Because it's not wild and wacky at all and I've just gone full fedora tipping retard because I'm so afraid of what would happen to my soul if God exists.

Therefore, God exists, and I'm seriously about to go down to the car and run a hose from the exhaust to the window because I can't force myself to accept what is so obvious to everyone else.

You sure can generate thousands of words, on command, completely off the cuff, to explain all the different aspects of what it feels like to be a complete and total nihilist.

>desu its pretty sad to see this kind of brainwashing up close

The only thing we know about science is that science doesn't explain the universe yet.

If you don't have the whole picture, if you just have pieces and parts, then any conclusion you might draw from those pieces and parts is ultimately skewed.

Science would be a great idea, and maybe many quadrillions of years from now, science as understood by Mankind will be closing in on understanding 50% of the universe, BUT GUESS WHAT!

There's still plenty of room for God in the other 50%

Don't just look at it, EAT IT.

I guess there are things that can become from "the nothing", as long as we know that something material can't, then whatever created reality and matter, must be something else between nothing, and material reality. That should be god, or whatever you want to call it.
>>
>>70161726

Putting God in the gaps of your knowledge isn't going to explain anything. One day there will be an explanation and then what will happen to your god? Your god will keep getting pushed out as more information comes in. besides using god to fill the gaps in your knowledge is just lazy, it makes you complacent and unwilling to learn more. If you don't know something, then you don't know.

I'm pretty divided on the matter. On one hand, the rational part of me is by definition materialist and nihilist, but on the other hand:

>i cannot justify morality from a rational perspective(and instinct/empathy/social programming doesn't cut it), yet even though rationally I should be a nihilist, I still have some sort of moral compass and seek the Absolute for fulfillment/purpose
>i cannot comprehend the idea of sentience since at best I would be more or less a solipsist and that still does not explain as to why I exist(as a mind) when I as an individual am nothing more than another biological machine amongst billions that existed, exist and will exist
