Do you have a religion?

[Swat 3]

wow

oh god i am a hypocrite

[Ad Bot]

[otto-san]

op is a bad christian, don't listen to him

the idea of 'sin' and 'forgiveness' he's giving is wrong

the idea is that you have to feel real guilt and actual intent to never do it again, aka 'repentance', rather than just saying "pls fogirve me thcx"

it's a psychologically valid process, even if you don't believe in god, as far as improvement to yourself goes

Well evidence that there is a God is like compared to the air. You can feel it, but cannot see it. That's how God is c:

It is not true that you can't see air. The sky is blue because the air slightly reflects blue and you can see the earths atmosphere from space, just as you can see water from land. You can see things because they reflect light or absorb it. If an object absorbs light, then you see black, in other words a lack of light.

Air is transparent because it neither absorbs or reflects much light, but it reflects a tiny bit of blue. It is the same with water. If you are under water, you would not really be able to see the water just as you cannot see air when you are in it.

agnosticism is being a pusillanimous individual athiest imo

thats a pretty ignorant view on being agnostic

that isnt how it works at all, why do you think sunsets are red and orange

[Visage]

atheist.

i wouldn't worship God even if he did exist. he's a loving cunt lol.

True that. I don't know how people find joy and hope in believing in God. I would kill myself if I believed I was created by something as evil as God. He's like 100x worse than Riddler. He'll murder your children just to prove a point and destroy your life just to see if you'll still love him, he'll commit genocide and sentence you to endless torture for being gay when he apparently made you that way. He hates black people and hates women and believes in demanding respect through fear instead of earning it through actions.

No one would ever consider these actions anything but pure evil and yet they praise and worship a God who has done all of them countless times. I can't believe in something so demonic it would crush me.

Since when did God hate black people?

[Muslim]

[.::Taboo::.]

Since when did God hate black people?

since they were condemned as being literal walking sin
apparently that's why they're black

[sir dooble]

I'm an atheist, but was raised Church of England Christian.
I'm still interested in learning about religion and find all of them to be fascinating.
Currently I also study Philosophy of Religion.

i think that was a morman thing. (technically mormans consider themselves chrsitian)

the bible itself was written by and for dark skinned people. not necessarily black, but i dont think they had that issue in those areas. since the only white influence were invaders from the north. the ones that didnt have anything to do with the bible/torah

Errr... I, as a Christian, have never, ever, heard that...

[Blockzillahead]

Yeah you can't see air directly, because blue isn't the actual color it gives off but more so directs it, but yeah that's how blue skies appear blue, because of air. It all depends on the angle, bigger angle = blue, smaller angle = red/orange/yellow/pink, w/e.

Short wavelengths(blue) of the white(sun) light get caught by air(gases, water vapor and all sorts of particles) and are spread out in different directions while longer wavelengths like red pass through easily without having their directions changed. When the sun is over the horizon, you will get a red/orange sunset because of the angle the light is coming in from. Blue gets thrown off in another direction while red makes it's way to your eyes easily.

The original writers of the Bible were middle-eastern and to some extent Mediterannean (the cult of christianity picked up massively among the olive-skinned Romans of the Roman Empire), but would also reach people of darker skin colours who inhabited areas of northern Africa.

It wasn't made for Black people as such, but it's writers certainly were aware of dark-skinned people at the time and incorporated them into it's teachings respectively.
I don't know any cases where traditional Christianity is anti-black.

That tends to be a side-effect of white supremacy during the last 400 years, while white people have been predominantly Christian.
That's the only reason why I would imagine Christianity could be seen as anti-black, besides the individual teachings of various cults/sects.
On the argument of Air, and how it is comparable to God (Can't see it, but can feel it), the better point to make isn't the fact that you can see the air as blue in the form of the sky/atmosphere.

It's the fact that I can take a glass beaker, fill it with air, and then scientifically brown townyse the air to see what it's made of and how it reacts with other things.
You can't do that with God, which is the reason scientists don't traditionally believe in God, because he can't be empirically verified to exist.

There's no a posteriori knowledge of God.
