Atheist/non-religious thread

And who do you think created the nature all around you?

I think we need a better understanding of what you mean by created. I'm not sure there's evidence to support your premise that anything was created. Assuming it was created means you assume a Creator too, it doesn't prove a creator exists.

It just seems to me that there MUST be Something or SOMEONE "out there" that is beyond our capability to comprehend.

There are lots of things beyond my ability to comprehend. But I don't put a label on any of them and give them credit for everything because of it.

Well, that only took 28 hours or so until I got told I am going to hell. So sad.

Just invent a religion where hell doesn't exist and you'll be fine. Especially if when you die you'll be put in charge of everything because you are one of the chosen.

I came up in a jewish household. Hell has never really been a factor for me.

So sorry! Some people just don't know how to communicate there beliefs in a understanding way

So what do y'all think about an afterlife, or absence of one?

 

[black_cat]

yeah

and what annoys me the most is "I love you, but I don't accept you"

and why?? I'm not even sure where it says anything about homosexuality, because i've read every quote about how its "wrong" and I still see no evidence in the bible. At least not in the new testiment. I thought they disgarded the old one

I don't even understand the whole concept of the bible
isn't it just a bunch of words that someone made up and wrote down??? could I decide that the Harry Potter books are the rules of a god?? wouldn't that be the same thing???

Thank you for starting this thread. I was born and raised a Pentecostal Christian and have since left they all behind to peruse a more logical life.... it’s tough bc I live in the south, but so far I’ve survived so far lol
