No I'm being serious. You realize how many people lived totally wretched lives before you and God didn't give a s*** about them. Why would you think that you are any different?
I believe it because I’m an absurdist and it’s a requirement of my faith to believe the most absurdly extreme possibilities always. If you claim something that is so impossibly absurd that only a fool would believe it, then my faith in your claim is a sacrament that I willingly take upon myself. It is a sacrifice to accept the foolish absurdities of the world, but it wouldn’t be true faith with offering up some kind of sacrifice.
The best argument I heard for OP’s point is the fact that every athlete points to the sky after they score a touchdown like God is the reason they scored a touchdown, hit a home run, or scored the winning goal. God was totally ignoring the prayers from the hospital to make sure the prayers from the stadium were answered?!?
I highly doubt that God is helping teams win games while ignoring the children’s cancer ward at any hospital in the world.
If that's what they're saying then yes, it's retarded, since the god in question necessarily also ignored the other team's prayers.
Another interpretation though is giving credit where it's due: Players often recognise the role of their coach when celebrating their achievements, why wouldn't they recognise their god?
Well, my point was that kind of action could be to acknowledge god's gifts. Same way saying grace doesn't mean you're treating him like restaurant staff.
I don't claim to speak for god, but in christianity specifically and the abrahamic religions in general there does seem to be an unusual emphasis on praising god for everything. To the extent that some visions of the christian heaven involve perpetual adoration.
Praising the divine does exist in european religions but it tends to more focussed on avoiding hubris and giving thanks for prayers being answered.
Kids are dying from cancer treatment, not cancer. The kids are suffering because of the ignorance of their parents who are allowing the doctors to poison their children. God is not killing kids by giving them cancer.
I’m not going to discuss this matter any further because you argue like a woman and it’s not worth my time to pursue something that I know will not be productive. I wish you well.
I think they're practicing a ritualistic "thanking" for the ability to achieve a goal that gives them such a rewarding feeling, not for the goal itself.
Never considered it. I don't really see God that way. I see Yahweh as a Creator, a father, not as a caring, motherly type.
Dad doesn't have to say he loves me. He does that by putting food on the table and correcting my behavior. In that way I suppose God cares: life and lessons
Nothing about God is provable. He's the human explanation for the questions we can't yet answer. He is also the truth about things we can't test in one generation.
Because that deep knowing that comes from somewhere doesn't come in words. It doesn't come to everyone either, particularly those who can't shut up and just listen.
The wordy writers may be too busy writing to listen themselves. The tribal instinct of humans is to find someone to tell them what to think it all means. and that isn't necessarily correct, but it can help corral the total fuck ups, that we really don't want running around making up their own versions of right and wrong..
Reincarnation. That's what explains everything. The reason Christianity doesn't talk about reincarnation is because it would seem too similar to Buddhism, and the delusional world we live in would break. Humans are meant to live in this maze. We are fed crumbs and need faith in order to find the bread at the the end. The truth isn't always pleasant. That's why they say ignorance is bliss. Deep down every human knows the truth, but external factors interfere and cause layers that block people from the truth. Removing these layers are extremely painful. That's why god sends down people like Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Socrates etc. To try to wake us up once in a while and show us how to break free.
God helps those who help themselves" so it goes. I've been immersed in the Bible from the time I was a kid until about 15 years ago, I had a trial and error childhood and my first bloody nose was at the age of 4 at a Sunday church service and every fucking beating my father gave me was a forced atonement for some transgression disfavorable to a "loving God". Our house had no running water in the winter because the swamp that supplied the water froze solid, my father hauled water in barrels once a week every Friday, we collected ice and snow and heated it on the woodstove for our bath....we never sought help from anyone, many times my younger brother and I were expected to take care of ourselves because both parents were always tending to livestock, 3 gardens, firewood, etc etc etc but they were good parents who instilled in us the art of survival and the importance of never ever giving up. I'm 63 years old now, I've spent the last 30 years in and out of 3rd world shit holes, I've seen mothers pimp out their own kids right in front of the church they cling to as their last hope and refuge, I've seen poverty and crime and human debasement that defies all reason...I've had my fill of missionaries, Catholic nuns, Jehovas Witnesses, Pentecost preacher's, Baptist ministers, Mormon bible pushers etc...the most wretched of human beings scrounging out their survival in the most miserable conditions...why does God allow this?,and don't give me the "open eyes " sermon. The jew doesn't turn the other cheek, the jew is blessed when he uses the Gentile as an ox or an ass...Muslims don't turn the other cheek and they too are blessed by Allah to fuck little kids, kill infidels and believe in magic genies (jihn)...but the Christian, who's Messiah was created by the jew, is told that the meek will inherit the earth, and to turn the other cheek and leave vengeance to the one and only lord God...a God who rules as a TRIUMVIRATE ie God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, Christians are implored to give their belongings to the poor, the vicious, and improvident and to accept the worst of humility, all in the name of God. Compassion, the very roots of the "living word" has collapsed the West while the jew and it's Hebrew brother muslims are given carte blanches genocidal privileges for to expand their empire of beliefs. The "biblical God" of Judeo Christianity is a myth created to sedate and control the masses. Jesus is late in his return, he missed the last bus from heaven to earth...he ain't coming. The God that does exist will designate our eternity in accordance with our works, as for "fire and brimstone " that's a jewish golem tale. GOD PROTECTS US FROM OURSELVES, THAT'S IT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS HOGWASH OF A JEWISH MAKING...."

You deliberately took the worse examples of shitty people and somehow made it seem like there's a God who could wave a magic wand over them and make them smarter and better than they are.
Your own failure to have a personal relationship with any God is your own problem. As is not understanding what turn the other cheek means, and how it is that for 2000 years Christians went to war and defended themselves.

Jesus told some people to give their money away, but not you. He pushed them into faith which looks like luck that you haven't starved to death.
"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, 'This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’ “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’ “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ “ ‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’ “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ “ ‘A thousand bushelsof wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’ “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. 10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? 13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Why can't he? Is the the creator of the Universe or not? If your child was born with some horrible disease, would you not heal them if you could?
As is not understanding what turn the other cheek means
Christcuck denies the plain interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount [1]. What's the point of having the divine Word of God if you can just reinterpret it to mean the opposite as it suits you?
how it is that for 2000 years Christians went to war and defended themselves.
They were actually crushed under foot in their early years, at least according to their own history. They took pride in being willing martyrs. It was only after Christianity was adopted by the Roman Empire that Christians as warriors emerged. That's power doing what power does, in spite of the teachings.
[1]: 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[h] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
You've been schooled in the jewish Old Testament not the Christian New Testament.
I gave you a direct quote from the New Testament, Christcuck -- the passage that contains "turn the other cheek". The entire passage is about letting people walk all over you. At least the Old Testament is the opposite of that, but it's written for Jews (you know, the "Chosen People"). Christians like to point to the Old Testament when they say Christianity isn't cucked, and then they'll ignore the Old Testament and point to the New Testament when horrid things in the Old Testament are pointed out. The simple fact is that you worship the Jewish god Yahweh.
The turning of the other cheek is about hierarchies and being egalitarian while still respecting the necessary hierarchy. You haven't read the Bible, tht much is obvious, so I'm not sure why you think you're an expert level picker aparter.
The Old Testament is the Jewish Torah. A self-serving religion for Jews, by Jews. That's why they play the starring role and are called the Chosen People with a Promised Land. That's why Christian Zionists exist.
The turning of the other cheek is about hierarchies and being egalitarian while still respecting the necessary hierarchy.
The entire passage is about letting people walk all over you. You deny what's plainly written, which means the idea that the Bible is the word of "God" is bullshit. You wouldn't dare do that if you actually believed you'd burn in hell for such blasphemies. You've got a McChristian "choose-your-own-religion".
There's no such thing as a true synonym. Everyone chooses their own religion because one word has many meanings. Throwing pearls before swine is a frequent problem with those who seek to be bigger than God.
You have a foundational book as a guide. You choose to take from it what you need, or you don't. For the rest of it what makes you think every Christian is supposed to give a shit about your soul? You don't.
There's no such thing as a true synonym. Everyone chooses their own religion because one word has many meanings.
It's not a matter of ambiguity in a single word. Given the context of the entire passage, the meaning is plain. You and other Christcucks pick a meaning opposite to that because you can't handle what it plainly says.
Throwing pearls before swine is a frequent problem with those who seek to be bigger than God.
Who is trying to be bigger than "God"? I don't believe in the Jewish god Yahweh, YOU do. You're the one deciding to insert your own meaning opposite that of what is plainly written.
For the rest of it what makes you think every Christian is supposed to give a shit about your soul?
What makes you think I care what Christians think about my sole? I'm not the one claiming to believe in Jewish mythology.
Oh please Mr Aethiest enlighten us as to what our book tells us.
I just did, Christchuck. Not my fault you are either ignorant of your religion or in complete denial of what is plainly written. Where am I wrong? Explain the flaws in my argument. The original Christcuck I was debating couldn't do it. You can't do it either.
Hey DUMB ASS...I never stated that those words were biblical text...but those are the words propagated through centuries of myth. Nations go to war over their beliefs and more often than not God is at the center of those beliefs...by the tone of your statement a war wouldn't be too far in the horizon. What makes you look stupid is all the cliches and parables spewed with divine overtones by your religious representatives, those ambassadors of God portraying a holier than thou image who demand that their followers do as they say and not what they do...find the right drugs and God will talk to you all night long. You guys can't even agree on whether the sabbath is on a Saturday or Sunday. The bible is a literary psyop manual with the sole purpose of controlling the masses, and it's been quite effective.
The tone of your words resonate in a true Godly fashion...typical (((Judeo))) Christian hypocrisy...Mathew 10.34 probably makes a lot of sense too with you. You guys can't even get the story of Noah's arc straight, was it two animals of every species or was it three, or was it seven? God's commandments dictate that the 7th day is a day of rest, low and behold Joshua 6.15, but that's OK (according to Judeo Christian apologists)...and then there's "thou shalt not kill", yeah right, there's great power in ambiguities and that is why the bible is powerful.
He put humans in charge of life on Earth, and loves humans more than the other animals.
Someone could argue that this is a contradictin because if I need a heart transplant and a 15 year old dies in a freak accident and donates her heart to me, that God screwed that 15 year old girl.
There is no contradiction because we live in a multiverse or simulation, that 15 year old live millions of lives. Getting screwed in one of them is no big deal.
Earth is the audition. Then you are selected to go to Heaven or Hell or maybe to blink out of exisitence. God does not test us based on a few years in this society. He tests us based on millions of lives. He tests us in every possible situation.
Gods have a higher purpose than micromanaging everyone's lives. That said, prayer and sacrifice are a way of signalling if a struggle in our lives is particularly important to us. I doubt any god will disrupt universal harmony to help out, but they might nudge the scales a little to give us a fighting chance.
God doesn't interfere. There is no divine intervention. He created everything, laid down the rules, and said "you have free will, but so does everyone. And life isn't fair, it isn't meant to be, so suck it up and deal with it".
It's a grand experiment that God watches but doesn't mess with. He wants to see how it turns out.
He does care. He gave free will so we could choose ourselves what to do with our lives. That's all. It's just a test. If the test is unsuccessful, into the "oven" you go. A waste is a waste.
Imagine thinking that if God were real, every living thing would have an identical and equal existence.
Libtards have the most fucked up concepts of God ever. Their internalization of evil makes it impossible to perceive of a loving God. You people are so fucked in the head and yet so sure of your integrity of thought.
And tons of Christians are fat fucking slobs that do nothing and sit around living boring lives eating and praying until they die of a heart attack.
One big problem I have is Christianity talks almost nothing about living a healthy life. Mormons kids do it. Amish sorta do by not drinking etc.
Anyways I am pro Christian I'm just anti jew and God did tell you who he cared about he loves his JEWS his sand nigger inbreeding evil children more then any other race.
Now that in ranting Christianity and Jesus should have warned about blacks more

God is not of the world. Be still and know Him. All of the 'chatter' you wrote about and others commented on in this thread will fall away. Then you can see the way. Satan rules here. God is of the spirit.
now realise that the people that are running the world all believe in Satan, and they only work with other people they trust who also believe in Satan.
Now by your own logic, because those people in charge are all satanists and believe in what they do, they themselves manifest power in the name of Satan and therefore make satan real.
Then realise that actual real satanists (not these milqueetoast edgy teen 'church of satan' clowns, but actual behead someone for part of a masonic ritual satanists) think atheists are hilarious, but are terrified of Christians (which is why all this shit going down is happening in white christian nations) you gotta ask yourself... who do you want to be watching your back... Satanists or Christians.

[1]: 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[h] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

I gave you a direct quote from the New Testament, Christcuck -- the passage that contains "turn the other cheek". The entire passage is about letting people walk all over you. At least the Old Testament is the opposite of that, but it's written for Jews (you know, the "Chosen People"). Christians like to point to the Old Testament when they say Christianity isn't cucked, and then they'll ignore the Old Testament and point to the New Testament when horrid things in the Old Testament are pointed out. The simple fact is that you worship the Jewish god Yahweh.

The turning of the other cheek is about hierarchies and being egalitarian while still respecting the necessary hierarchy. You haven't read the Bible, tht much is obvious, so I'm not sure why you think you're an expert level picker aparter.

The Old Testament is the Jewish Torah. A self-serving religion for Jews, by Jews. That's why they play the starring role and are called the Chosen People with a Promised Land. That's why Christian Zionists exist.
The entire passage is about letting people walk all over you. You deny what's plainly written, which means the idea that the Bible is the word of "God" is bullshit. You wouldn't dare do that if you actually believed you'd burn in hell for such blasphemies. You've got a McChristian "choose-your-own-religion".

You have a foundational book as a guide. You choose to take from it what you need, or you don't. For the rest of it what makes you think every Christian is supposed to give a shit about your soul? You don't.

It's not a matter of ambiguity in a single word. Given the context of the entire passage, the meaning is plain. You and other Christcucks pick a meaning opposite to that because you can't handle what it plainly says.
Who is trying to be bigger than "God"? I don't believe in the Jewish god Yahweh, YOU do. You're the one deciding to insert your own meaning opposite that of what is plainly written.
What makes you think I care what Christians think about my sole? I'm not the one claiming to believe in Jewish mythology.

I just did, Christchuck. Not my fault you are either ignorant of your religion or in complete denial of what is plainly written. Where am I wrong? Explain the flaws in my argument. The original Christcuck I was debating couldn't do it. You can't do it either.

He put humans in charge of life on Earth, and loves humans more than the other animals.
Someone could argue that this is a contradictin because if I need a heart transplant and a 15 year old dies in a freak accident and donates her heart to me, that God screwed that 15 year old girl.
There is no contradiction because we live in a multiverse or simulation, that 15 year old live millions of lives. Getting screwed in one of them is no big deal.
Earth is the audition. Then you are selected to go to Heaven or Hell or maybe to blink out of exisitence. God does not test us based on a few years in this society. He tests us based on millions of lives. He tests us in every possible situation.

Libtards have the most fucked up concepts of God ever. Their internalization of evil makes it impossible to perceive of a loving God. You people are so fucked in the head and yet so sure of your integrity of thought.

And tons of Christians are fat fucking slobs that do nothing and sit around living boring lives eating and praying until they die of a heart attack.
One big problem I have is Christianity talks almost nothing about living a healthy life. Mormons kids do it. Amish sorta do by not drinking etc.
Anyways I am pro Christian I'm just anti jew and God did tell you who he cared about he loves his JEWS his sand nigger inbreeding evil children more then any other race.
Now that in ranting Christianity and Jesus should have warned about blacks more

Also, since that means God is a fabrication of the mind of a believer, he actually has no more power than that believer in the first place.
Thanking God therefore is an indirect way to thank yourself.

Now by your own logic, because those people in charge are all satanists and believe in what they do, they themselves manifest power in the name of Satan and therefore make satan real.
Then realise that actual real satanists (not these milqueetoast edgy teen 'church of satan' clowns, but actual behead someone for part of a masonic ritual satanists) think atheists are hilarious, but are terrified of Christians (which is why all this shit going down is happening in white christian nations) you gotta ask yourself... who do you want to be watching your back... Satanists or Christians.
Because Satanists see you as nothing but food.
