You dont. Theres a better theory out there.
You are immortal; it is impossible to not be, because it is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious. Just that one sentence proves it. It is like these sentences: It is impossible for it to be light and dark at the same time, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. They are simple, but certain facts. The sentence "It is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious" is a simple and certain fact.

How about its the belief that we don't know the answer to the creation of everything, unlike christ tards, and simply that the we assume what we observe and nothing beyond it. The earliest event we know was a rapid expansion of space resulting in what we can see, proven empirically. Science doesn't say "ITS THE BEGINING OF EVERYTHING", they simply don't know what was before it and don't pretend to. Why is /pol/ so polluted by the uneducated, honestly, fucking stone age logic.

Horse shit. Capitalism and trade made the colonies, not some invisible spirit living in the hearts of all the various nations settling.
The truth is that religion has no intrinsic place in a modern individualist society, and if you DO value your western values and individualism, along side your national values and your community and culture, you will wind up re-packaging whatever religion it is you're trying to 'sell' to be catered to the 'individual' needs of the consumer.
You'll turn your religion into a product you can sell, where the content is not as important as the spectacle (and of course the cashflow, pay the priest, silly goym).
What? You don't think its happening? Its happening. Its already happened.
Watch your local churches closely, and see how they will cater to political winds of change, and if the pc culture is especially right or left wing, they WILL reflect it.

Thats fucking retarded, and demonstrably false.
Atheism is a rejection of the theist claims that have absolutely no demonstrable truth,
you're basically dressing agnosticism up as a disguised, lapsed form of (default religion, in this case likely christianity) because you're implying that there is some element of believability, and you don't know.
Agnosticism is on the topic of knowledge.
Atheism is on the topic of faith/belief.
You can be both unaware, and have a position. Look at the christians that say, quite honestly that nothing supernatural or defying explanation has happened to them to justify their belief, but they don't know, so they choose to say they believe.
We can't know if they're being honest or just playing along, of course.

And that money benefitted the community as a whole. The Church was the primary source of charity and community life.
>They slaughtered anybody who opposed of them even scientists
Nobody was ever persecuted by the church for teaching "science". The scientific method is a Catholic invention.
>People are so ignorant to know its own religious history.
The masses are always ignorant. The point is that Catholicism preserved the west.
> There is no right religion because religion is essentially philosophy. A way to explain things that were known at the time to uneducated peasants. It's ironic because they killed those who thought new ideas about reality which didn't reflect their religion.
Christianity has always made verifiable claims, and again, no scientists were ever killed by the church for teaching science.

>A Jew is an ethnic Jew who has rejected Christ. An ethnic Jew who has accepted Christ is not a Jew. Ethnicity is the necessary but not sufficient condition for being a Jew. The sufficient condition is rejection of Christ. This was ratified by the Israeli Supreme Court when they denied Oswald Rufeisen citizenship because he had been baptized a Catholic. From a more religious perspective I note in the book the words of Jewish scholar Jacob Neusner: “While not all Jews practice Judaism [it is] the iron-clad consensus among contemporary Jews, Jews who practice Christianity cease to be part of the ethnic Jewish community, while those who practice Buddhism remain within.”

Being an atheist is retarded. I understand not believing chuch shit(like me), but just denying a higher existance is stupid, it's like if an ant denies the existance of humans. Also, there is more definitive proof of existance of the historical figure known as Jesus Christ than there is of him not existing.
Also, even if you don't believe in God, not supporting the church is a terrible option, the church is responsible for western civilization as we know it and it is also responsible for keeping Europe safe for 14 centuries.
The first time I stopped believing in God was when I saw the news which said that a bunch of innocent kids in some shithole country got killed for no reason. Then I found out about cancer and stuff. As I grew, I started learning shit and then I learned about dna, the existance of life and shit like that and I realized, there has to be a higher existance who created all this shit. Let's take the whole virgin Mary thing for an example. Atheists before thought that was a fucking joke, how can a virgin get pregnant? Now we know it's possible through in-vitro. Next thing we develop dna and create a creature of our design. Imagine we create life in a lab, which is probably going to happen, imagine we make synthetic wombs. Now imagine there is a being of higher existance that is eternal and can't reproduce, but he can manipulate atoms. We all know chaos does not create order, we know that a wave that constantly hits a rock would not sculpt a face in the rock.

So your telling me that 4 writers, got together and tried to invent a religion-wait, piggy-back off another religion, risk their lives, literally, to tell about the religion. -invent sermons but then screw up on certain details so that they APPEAR as if they are contradictory and then finally include a cast of characters including three disciples named judas(guess they ran out of ideas for names) another disciple and also a brother of Jesus, both named James, virtual every woman all named Mary except one, and THEN forgot to include the main resurrection story in full in two of the books? Oh, and one of them decided to write under the guise a historian (Luke)? All so that they would be persecuted and burned alive just because they wanted to spread a false religion for the lulz? Gospels are verified, buddy. Everyone can concede that at the very least people believed what was written in them when they were written.
Most scholars deny its validity based solely off of two things: 1:time when they were supposedly written (50-150 years after Jesus' death) and 2: "durr resurrection and miracles are impossible"

> This practice is reported in both the Mishna (o. Sabb. 23.5) and the Code of Jewish Law in a section entitled "Laws of Mourning," which is a record of early Jewish burial practices.9 More important for the evangelical is that the gospels affirm the same. In John 11:44 the napkin is said to have been placed "around" the head (perideö). John 20:7 further explains that this cloth was "wrapped" or "rolled" up (entylissö) .10 The combination of being wrapped up and of being placed around the head clearly supports the position of the napkin explicitly taught in both the Mishna and the Code of Jewish Law. Interestingly enough, the man buried in the shroud also had just such a cloth tied around his jaw.11 Not only is there no contradication [sic] here but we find, rather, an unexpected verification of the method depicted on the shroud.

>Jesus was an Israelite. He was a direct descendant of Levi through Aaron.1 Levi was a son of Jacob. Jacob was named Israel by God.2 Jesus was also a direct descendant of Judah through David. Judah was also a son of Jacob.3 Jacob’s sons were the first Israelites. Jesus was specifically an Israelite because he was a direct descendant of two of the sons of Jacob/Israel.4
Why then, does everyone say that Jesus was a Jew? Most people think that Jesus was a Jew, but Jesus was an Israelite, not a Jew. Israelites were the ones who were called the chosen people of God.5 Edomites, and their descendants, now called Jews, are not the chosen people. The fact that modern day Jews want us to think they are descended from Israelites is one of the greatest intentional lies, or misunderstandings, in all of history.
It would be virtually impossible to find a book written about Jesus that doesn’t describe him as a Jew. Are they all calling him a Jew because they think he was a Jew by religion? Are they all calling him a Jew because they think he was a Jew by ancestry? A person can be a Jew by religion while not being a Jew by ancestry, and a person can be a Jew by ancestry while not being a Jew by religion. Just what are the facts concerning the religion and ancestry of Jesus?
First, was Jesus a Jew as far as his religion was concerned? No, his religion was Hebrewism; or, as we now call it, the Religion of the Old Testament. That religion was the religion of the Hebrews and the Israelites, and was based on the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. Stephen S. Wise, a former chief rabbi of the United States, said:
“The return from Babylon [following the Captivity, about 538 B.C.], and the adoption of the Babylonian Talmud, marks the end of Hebrewism, and the beginning of Judaism.
>>73764987
America was never founded then, as 1776 was more than two hundred years ago. See, this is just the cycle of Internet intelligence. Christians have well thought out reasons for being a Christian which then become unpopular once people forget why they were Christian in the first place. Then athiests have well thought out arguments for their ideology which they then abandon when they realize the only reason they had their ideology in the first place was because the Christian forgot why he believed his religion. And thus the cycle repeats. We see this with many things, such as right/left politics. Your just furthering the cycle buddy, Christianity is on the rise again because of absolute idiots like you. Get red-pilled, my friend.
>>73766288
>Jesus criticized the Jews, or Pharisees, for establishing Judaism which is based on the Talmud,7 and which at the time of Jesus was still called the Tradition of the Elders.8
When the people returned from Babylon, about 538 B.C., after the Babylonian Captivity, they brought back a different religion than the one practiced just fifty years earlier. The new religion was the Tradition of the Elders (or Judaism), and that religion was based on the teachings of the rabbis rather than the laws of God.
“Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?”9
>>73766285
And none of you fags have bothered giving references for your shit.
>>73766312
>For many years after the return from the Babylonian Captivity, even at the time of Jesus, the remaining Israelites still went to the Temple and participated in the religious activities there. Those Israelites had nowhere else to go, but they tried to hold on to Hebrewism, the religion of their ancestors, even though that religion had been largely eliminated by the rabbis.
Professor Georg Hermann Schnedermann (1852-1917) of the University of Leipzig, a Lutheran theologian, made his point eloquently when he wrote about the two groups at the time of Jesus with different religions and ethnicities.
He distinguished “between the ‘Israelite’ and ‘Jewish’ elements in the intellectual atmosphere in which Jesus grew up: though Judaism reigned in the schools of the scribes and held the field to outward appearance, yet an ‘Israelite’ strain of piety and conviction prevailed in a certain section of religious society. Those who walked in the green pastures and beside the still waters of this faith of the heart were in touch with the Prophets and understood all that is deepest in the Old Testament.”11
Many of the people hoped that a leader would emerge who would turn back the clock and allow them to have the religion of God that had disappeared.12 A mission of Jesus was to give back to the Israelites the religion that had been stolen from them. Definitely, Jesus was not a Jew by religion.
>>73766179
A relatively small amount of water dispersed over a small area for a short amount of time wouldn't.
>>73766200
It hasn't ven been disproved. You just said claims were overblown for one type of miracle.
>>73766340
>Second, was Jesus a Jew by ancestry? Jews were not Israelites as they were not descended from Jacob. They were descended from Esau, the brother of Jacob. While both were grandsons of Abraham and sons of Isaac, Jacob was favored by God.13 Esau’s descendants were called Edomites,14 and later they were called Jews since many of them were then living in Judea because the Edomites had been captured by John Hyrcanus and forced to convert to the religion then in place in Judea. Jesus stated in Matthew, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”15 When Jesus sent his disciples out to spread his message he told them, “Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”16 The Jews were not a part of the sheep of the house of Israel that Jesus talked about. Note that it is not the fact that the Jews did not believe in the message of Jesus that made them not of his sheep. Jesus knew that it was because they were not of his sheep that they did not believe in his message.
“But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”17
Therefore, Jesus in his own words gave us proof that the Jews were not of his sheep, the house of Israel. They were not Israelites. Jesus knew that they didn’t have the same religion or ancestry that he had.
Jacob kept his line pure and God rewarded him by making him the father of God’s “chosen people.”18 Note that the Jews are not the “chosen people” even though they say that they are. Jacob’s brother Esau married out of his own people and God punished him. His descendants moved to the Mount Seir area southeast of the Dead Sea. His descendants were called Edomites.19

Let's not get distracted by Roman Catholic apocryphal faggotry okay? Christianity is much more than the political organization that is Catholicism. I don't care what the Catholic Church teaches.

>They were the ancestors of the people known today as Jews.20 Later the Edomites moved into the areas vacated by the Israelites during the Captivity. Many years after that when John Hyrcanus, one of the Macabean kings, conquered the Edomites and then offered them full citizenship if they would adopt the religion then in place in Judea, this brought most of the Edomites into Judea and into the religion later known as Judaism.
“As far as authentic history will carry us, the descendants of the Edomites are to be sought for rather amongst the Jews themselves, than amongst any other people ….”21
The Edomite Jews claimed they were from Abraham, which they were, being descended from Esau, a son of Isaac. But a passage in John proves that the Jews were not Israelites since they told Jesus that they had never been in bondage.22 Of course, the Israelites had been held as slaves in Egypt.23 Those were Edomite Jews to whom Jesus was speaking.
The Jews at the time of Jesus were not a part of any tribe of Israel, including the Tribe of Judah. They were a mixture of Babylonians, Cannanites, Hittites, but mainly Edomites. The Jews of today are the descendants of those people.24 Jesus was not a Jew but was actually an Israelite, as he was descended from Levi through Aaron and Zadok.25 He was also an Israelite because he was descended from Judah through David.26 Both Levi and Judah were sons of Jacob who was renamed Israel by God. During his ministry Jesus had many battles with the Pharisees who were Edomite Jews, and not Israelites.27 The Pharisees were not respected by Jesus because they enforced the Tradition of the Elders, later known as Judaism, which Jesus did not accept.28 Also, Jesus did not respect them because he knew that they were Edomite Jews and not Israelites.

I claimed that claims were inconsistent with historical stigmata, strange considering youurgod was supposed to be at both events (Crucifixion and events of stigmata). which is more than enough to have witness testimony discredited. Also, you're the dumbass using stigmata as evidence, I can't refute the others because I don't have enough background info on them and don't feel like wasting my time researching your made up justifications for autism.
>>73765767
Age doesn't mean it's true, especially when evidence and revelation are brought into the argument.

Again showing your ignorance while trying to play the expert.
Dredging operations are MUCH smaller than what you're suggesting (which, in and of itself, is bullshit given the amount of people he was supposedly escorting across the red sea) and yet, dredging operations can have a massive impact on the environment is not properly controlled.
At this point I might salvage a shred of respect for you if you just admit you're relying on blind faith. At least that way you're not lying through your teeth while trying to defend the religion that forbids that.
>>73752884
Realize that "atheist" refers to people who believe there is no god.
They'll say it's a lack of belief, but that's "agnostic" (then they'll claim they are agnostic atheist, show you a square and try to redefine words. However, they still bash on people's beliefs... it's gnostic when they are offensive, agnostic when they defensive)
Realize that believing there is no god is silly, since you have no evidence that there isn't one. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Atheism is plainly denying the antecedent, one of the most basic formal logical fallacies out there.
At this point you should be agnostic. I haven't given you any good reason to theist, but I have give you good reason why not to be atheist.
Go study the historical accuracy of the bible. It's stories in the old testament are pretty well tied to ancient history, and are surprisingly accurate. This helps support Abrahamic religions.
Now go study historical Jesus (there are around 3 wiki pages about him historically... not religiously). As a pretty hard historical fact that practically all modern scholars accept is that he was born, baptized, and crucified.
You could consider islam... but the whole "by their fruits, ye shall know them" I don't think Islam has brought forth good fruit, and the prophet Mohammad himself didn't seem righteous. It feels like he fulfills the prophecy of false prophets, deceiving the very elect, etc.
Now this part nobody can give to you, since the Abrahamic God doesn't want to be proven, but rather his children believe by faith. At least give him a chance since around 3.6 billion people believe in him. That 54% of all people.

You have yet to justify your positions. You've only been slinging hyperbole.
>>73766592
by all means, continue being a spunk bucket.
The only reason mythologies died out was because of leaders wanting more control of the public, and Christianity has strict rules that play in the "leader's" favor. It was all political and forced upon the people in every "pagan" country.
For example, Jesus wasn't born during winter, and not near December. yet christmas is celibrated on the 24th of dec, why? Midvinterblot.
>>73764101
Cause you definitely were there to testify this today, right.

Think of the area Moses walked on as a raised hill underneath water, Moses walks on it because wind is pushing the water to the side opening up the path to walk on the hill, then the Egyptian army follows and the wind stops causing the Egyptians to drown. No tsunami necessary It's all dependent upon perspective my friend.
so nobody has any real argument as to explain why one made up religion is better than another?
people used hinduism for 3500 years and lived fine before christianity

There's no shortage of that in the modern world. it hasn't helped anyone. paganism will fail because it's shallow.
>>73766882
Jesus was likely born around August or September. Nine months back from August is December, the time of Jesus' conception. But what does a holiday have to do with Christianity any way? I'm not proposing that God instituted all major holidays.
>>73767300

Christianity would never have take of and become more than a cult if they didn't assimilate the already existing feasts into it.

No it's not. Nobody seriously thinks this.
>>73767471
Maybe. I'll have to research more. Holidays aren't important to christianity at all (classic red herring) so I've never really took the time to study them and their relation to Christianity, but thanks for the info anyway, mate.
