you weren’t intellectually and/or emotionally competent enough to believe in the Creator
That’s the funniest joke of 2025 lol

Just because you weren’t intellectually and/or emotionally competently enough to believe in the Creator doesn’t mean you didn’t act right and that He’d just disregard you. And certainly many of these hypocrites will taste Hell before righteous “nonbelievers”. 👍

Oh no, trust me, I’ve walked both paths! But I know what’s my audience here so I won’t even complain about the reactions, lol.

If every religious person was like you we wouldn’t have so many problems in the world. You are right, you choice is your and mine is mine. We don’t try to change each other mind and are respectful of the others choice. 10/10 wishing everyone acted like that

Just for the record, monotheism is heresy. There are many gods in the Bible. Was it not recorded in the book of Exodus that the Egyptian priests successfully called on their native divinities to transform their staves into serpents? That Moses and the Lord summoned a bigger serpent does not mean the Egyptian gods are false. The first commandment is “You shall have no other gods before Me”, not “You shall have no other gods”. The difference being, a true follower of Elohim believes in all the gods, but worships primarily their Lord.

Was raised in fundamentalism, lost my religion over a decade ago. (I’m cool with religious people that aren’t evil shitheads trying to brain wash children.)
You’re right about the snakes. Also, the plural tenses in Job are weird.
Not related to the post. What’s your take on the Nephillium?

I love what @JesusChristLover420@lemmy.sdf.org is saying, but there’s no mystery about the nephilim.
Adam and Eve weren’t the first homosapiens, they were only the first Jews. They were the true children of Yahweh/El/Elohim, the only created things that were imbued with divine breath. Other humans were considered subservient like other animals. The Sons of God are Jewish men, the Daughters of Men were outsider women.
Most of the oral traditions in Genesis were ancient before they were written down, so they could even be echos of early homosapiens cross breeding with neanderthals. Remember what Jesus called the gentile woman who begged for help? He said helping her would be like throwing the children’s food — the children of Yahweh — to the dogs. Those who weren’t the ethnicity and the religion were not only outsiders, they were akin to “beasts of the field.”

Probably people with various forms of gigantism and/or demigods like Heracles.
We of course know that Elohim didn’t create all humanity, just the ancient Hebrews. Two people is not enough genetic diversity to sustain a population, and besides, we have fossil records of humans long before 6,000 years ago. Abel and Cain likely found wives among the human creations of other gods.

That’s hilarious.
It takes intellectual competence to believe in magic?
JesusChristLover420@lemmy.sdf.org 6 days ago
It takes intellectual competence to believe in magic?
Yes, it does. Faith is like a muscle, it has to be exercised or it will atrophy, but with it, one can choose their beliefs, regardless of evidence. At the lowest level, this makes placebos stronger and helps quiet intrusive thoughts. At the highest levels of magical skill, all reality is one’s plaything. Because by changing your beliefs, you can rewrite your perceptions and remake the world as it exists within your own eyes.
Jesus said as much in the parable of the fig tree.
LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 6 days ago
That’s not very convincing to people who care about believing true things, and it’s certainly not what I’d classify as “intellectual competence.”
Whatever works for you, great. But saying people who don’t delude themselves are lacking in intellectual or emotional competence doesn’t seem to be an effective message.
JesusChristLover420@lemmy.sdf.org 6 days ago
If you care more about truth than about the power to heal the sick and free the oppressed, then you are complicit.

It’s said many times both in the Old and the New testaments that whoever doesn’t believe, is totally fucked for eternity. Read your own main book.

It’s also said that everyone is saved. Everyone.
salvationforall.org/…/1_salvation_is_biblical.htm…
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

I always find it funny when believers think they have to be intellectually/emotionally more mature than non-believers when non-believers don’t need a spiritual crutch to get through life.
You’re welcome to believe in a creator if that helps you get through the day, but don’t pretend you’re a better person because you believe in a god. Pretending it makes you more intellectually or emotionally competent actually tells people the opposite of what you think it does.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I know right. They get their decency and morals from a book and ours comes from within.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Everyone’s comes from within, cause there are no amount of words that would suddenly change human nature. The books just delineate and expand on basic, natural human morality. 👍
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I’m going to assume you’ve never had a real conversation with (m)any Christians about this. Because plenty will end up telling you their morality is external, rather than internal.
You have no idea how many times I’ve had this conversation and basically been told that they have no concept of where my morals would come from, because theirs comes from the Bible. I’ve even had conversations where Christians make comments about the shit they want to do but can’t because of their religious morality or gone out of their way to try to justify their actions in her eyes of their god.
