Did you try feeling it in your heart? Feeling his presence? You just have to believe.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

You just have to believe.

This is what really kept me questioning as a kid. "You just have to start with the conclusion!" but what religion can't I believe if I just start with the conclusion?

Couldn't you do this with any diety you pleased?

Not if you don't want to go to the hell everyone is going to except for my religion

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about if Jainism, Judaism, Hindusim, Sikh, Buddhist, or pretty much any religion that isn't Xian or Islam is the correct one?

It is actually a bit of a challenge to find any other religions that declared you will go to hell if you don't worship a certain God. The closest I ever found was if you dissed Hades he could get back at you. Which to be fair he doesn't demand you worship him only that you bury your dead so he can get them. He just wants your dead relatives to have a proper burial not for you to tell him how awesome he is.

But just in case. Hades if you are there and listening you are awesome man. And an awesome dude like yourself totally wouldn't bring me to the bad place.

Ignoring the religions followed by over half the world's population, then I guess you'd have trouble finding such hate. There is hope?

So Hades (the land) was subdivided into shitty Tartarus and happy Elysium. If you did not properly give praise to the correct gods, mostly by worshipping the wrong ones, not only were you executed, but you'd end up in Tartarus (Hell) instead of Elysium (heaven). I think the girls you were expected to be worshipping depended on locality and time of year. Socrates is a good example of a blasphemer who was sent to Tartarus for his wrong choice of Gods

Islam and Xian are about a quarter of the population of the world. It doesn't feel that way because most of the rest of us either live as hardly tolerated minorities in their countries or are all living on top of each other in an equator hugging belt from India to South East Asia.

Which reminds me. I strongly encourage atheists to visit countries like Thailand. In terms of religion it is very likely what Europe was like pre 4th century or the Arab lands pre 7th century. Everyone believes what they want. Have two hundred gods or none. The syncretism and the tolerance there is amazing. I have seen Buddha statues with a cross hanging from their neck. It is nice to know that there is a better way to live.

If you didn't feel it, you're a failure.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Of course if you did feel it chances are equal that you are also a failure.

I was devout and am willing to testify under oath that I felt moved at services more times than I can remember when I was a kid.

You cannot compare religion and science. They are fundamentally different philosophies. Hence if someone tries to force one into the other they get garbeld garbage.

If I get to have a jetpack, I'm converting to Christianity.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too, I’ll even do the prayer thing and everything. I’ll drink the blood, I’ll eat the flesh, I’ll sing the hymns.

If I had a jetpack nothing about my life would be boring.

Someone needs to call the pope. “Bruh, church attendance doesn’t have to be down! Everyone who converts and tithes gets a jetpack! We’re back baby!”

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Shit. To go that hard we're going to have to include fuel, maintenance, and an insurance plan.

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it have to be useful and functional? I am sure we can get you a cardboard box with the words jetpack written on it that we can strap to your back.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

The picture obviously shows it being awesome.

[–] ReeferPirate@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

This isn't about the mechanism we use to understand the world, just how we do.

Feel morally superior > make judgements against others > legislate your “beliefs”
