you can not just say something like that without explaining your reasoning dogif I was going to torture him for the rest of his life after he turned 18 if he didn't follow my rules, then I

But I did explain my reasoning... What else do you wana know?

you explained how it could, hypothetically, be possible, but you didn't even come close to explaining how it's "almost certain" lol

But he gave us free will, and he's not going to revoke that now.

no he didn't, the serpant gave us free will.

And you believe it?

Have you ever read the bible?  Not verses here and there, the whole thing?  I have.
It's what made me agnostic after being raised in a Christian home.  Do it.

I read much of the bible as a child and it has some forgeted up barbaric stuff in it.

There could easily be an afterlife, because we're almost certainly living in a simulation.
actually thats a common misconception
you are living in a simulation of a universe that isnt a simulation

you explained how it could, hypothetically, be possible, but you didn't even come close to explaining how it's "almost certain" lol
We have explored simulations in science fiction via the media I listed, and we know it's possible with our technology in the future.  
We know we will make simulations and that it's possible.

If it's that easy, we have to assume we ourselves could be living in one, somewhere down the line.  And with that possibility, what are the odds we are THE one reality out of billions or more?

Also I mentioned Schrodinger's Cat.  
The act of us looking at something is a trigger, that makes no sense. Unless you consider the way computers work, which I mentioned as well.

and here's the religion debate ohhhhhhhh boy

the matrix was not a documentary

I have read the entire book from cover to cover.
The old testament tells how Israel was originally supposed to act. They had to stand out from other nations. Those rules were created relative to the time they live in. All of those rules got thrown out of the window when Jesus came. Give us another 2000 years on this earth and I'm sure a lot of the things we consider "right" today would be considered barbaric or something like that IDK.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you all on this. I'm sure you've all heard the gospel, whether or not it was from me. You've made your choice, I've made mine.

but this famous celebrity has not been proven to exist beyond a book from a few thousand years ago saying that he does.
you know how the game telephone works, right? people are passing on other people's word over the course of a few thousand years saying that this celebrity is holding the contest in the first place.
what do you have to say about this though?

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you all on this. I'm sure you've all heard the gospel, whether or not it was from me. You've made your choice, I've made mine.
ignorance doesnt get stuff done mate

some things i wanted to add:

that time God turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt

that time God killed 40 kids with two bears

that time God killed a bunch of firstborn Egyptian babies

that time God killed a guy for having too strong a pullout game

that time God wrestled a dude all night and the bro wouldn't give up so God displaced his hip then blessed him

that time God made a bet with Satan about Job and let him kill the dude's family and torture him

I read the entire bible in high school and was not impressed (something I suspect 99% of 'christians' don't do).
Nonetheless, it makes me think of some funny scenarios



everyone gets raptured while that one dude we sent to mars is still hopping around lol

those tribal people in the amazon rain forest that have never even seen a white man let alone heard of christianity, and God is all like well that's too bad, gotta throw you in a burning lake of fire sorry bro

i bet half the world was pissed it stayed dark outside when God stopped the earth's rotation for a day to keep the sun up for that battle at Gibeon.

the feels when the guys with damaged testicles tried to sacrifice stuff for God and he's like having none of that stuff

that time when God told ezekial ok man sorry about this but you needs to lie down on your left side for 390 days, then your right side for 40 days.

TFW Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet so God wouldn't kill him. WTF mom?!

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you all on this.

There could easily be an afterlife, because we're almost certainly living in a simulation.

For example, consider Schrodinger's Cat.  It says until you look into the box, the cat is both alive and dead.  Only the act of looking into the box causes the waveforms to collapse and produce a single outcome.  Just looking into the box does this.   this guy explains it well
well the self-realization that schrodinger's cat is a simulation of quantum physics only just now hit me after reading this

all i know is that schrodinger probably killed his cat

i'm pretty sure it's the same thing as being under anesthesia, but your brain is completely dead. there is no consciousness or any subconscious; you wouldn't see black.

to be brutally honest, i don't think i could ever believe in god again. i stopped being a christain when my dad died. all i could think was "why would a loving god put me through so much torture and misery?" i'm on the border of being religious and athiest.

Interestingly enough, the Bible never actually says that you go to either heaven or hell when you die.

Hell simply meant 'eternal  destruction' or 'lake of fire' which means the same thing.  Unfortunately, this was mixed up with pagan myths.  One such myth is the trinity.

Heaven could easily mean the quantum realm, and angels could simply be quantum beings.  New tests have shown that we have special fibers in our brain that react to quantum distortion, possibly being the seat of conscious decision.

If the Bible says "And death will be no more" then it is obviously referring to the earth, for there is no death in heaven.

When you do the correct research and actually understand the context, it makes sense.
