As long as he’s capable of saving my soul…
As long as I have a soul…
After all, science distinguishable from magic is merely insufficiently advanced
Comment on Anon conserves power
mEEGal@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoSounds like agnosticism to me 🤝🤝
But would you mind if it turned out to be a immensely powerful alien disguised as a guy from our own past ?
At least, that seems more likely to me…

If Batman appeared I would also immediately start believing in him.
That doesn’t make me Batman-agnostic though.

Most atheists fall under the agnostic atheist banner

I’ve met a few gnostic atheists. They can be weird. Their non-believing can look very much like theism.
I once met an actual gnostic atheist missionary. He was standing on a Tesco parking lot with a self-made mobile display handing out hand-drawn leaflets about atheism. He was literally preaching on the street corner. Looked like one of them jehovas whitnesses until you got up close.

I really really do not want to be an atheist. But where is God?

Why?

Because I don’t wanna be a grumpy redditor with fingers covered in cheeto dust, jacking off to James Randi and Richard Dawkins arguing over who thinks the Bible is faker and gayer, with no magic to console me about the cruelty of the world, no afterlife to look forward to, stuck with the knowledge that this is all there is ever going to be.
I mean, I don’t want to disbelieve in miracles and mystery, but we live in a society laugh track where God cannot be found. Everyone with magic gets debunked, every study that confirms a supernatural power seems to get slapped with accusations of fraud and “The File Drawer Effect”, and the evidence continues to pile up for a Materialistic view of the universe where nothing is immaterial and everything is ultimately matter or springs up from it…
I don’t want to be an Atheist, but if God’s here I can’t find him.
