I personally think this is true
to think this is a hot take smh ahhh...
I personally think this is not true
I stopped getting involved in that stuff like i dont regret it one bit at all
I'm too scared to touch this stuff ngl
But for me, the reason why religion was so hyp during wars is that people needed some being to rely on, or they're all gonna lose their minds.
im not, religion is retarded
Religion n god is just a sigh of hope
yeah people need somoeone they can talk to that they know they can trust but i see where your coming from. i am a christian tho
hmmm
What
I'm an atheist
Us
Maybe you are fake
What? 😭
Uh?
lmao
I mean I'm an atheist too
Prolly everyone who agrees w this take
Nice
Normal person
i'm curious about this. What do atheists believe? like there is no god at all or like they believe there's a being but not the religion itself?
They believe im the creator of the universe
wtf bro i swear your everywhere.
hold up, you're the one who said godlike in one post!!
Both
If you are believing a thing written in a story book...I worship spider man
Proof : comics n newyork
Congrats you are putting it together
Reading it i was like, damn the self-awareness of this person was another level.
Religion is nice... For those who like have hope and faith in smth
Less dreariness abt the end of their lives
atheist believe that nothing create us we were an accident
Its mid af
I personally think that religion is kind of a burden because if you spend your whole life worshiping something in following certain ''commandments'' you lose out on your own life
Maybe in ur own opinion but tbh I see it as an interesting concept
Some religions like Buddhism and Sufism r pretty interesting, since they focus on 'spiritual' ideas
What dat
Taoism is also pretty cool tho I've not read much abt it, but it's like some deep spiritual connection with the universe and being in harmony
Wym
Spiritual stuff
Oh i see
Omfg someone who actually is right.
I believe that religion is all just made up, how are we gonna know Jesus was real if we've never seen him? Plus the Bible was translated so many times so we have no idea what it actually says, also it was made to control slves when white people had slves
Atheists believe that we were made by like science and stuff, like the world was made from evolvation, and earth was made from an asteroid and another planet hitting another planet, so earth was made from just two planets hitting each other and evolvation
Atheist
yes god does not exist
Truee
God does exist
In books yes
Religion has been a part of many cultures for thousands of yrs, calling it fake might work with some ppl but for others it helps with their way of life and has existed for a long time
Also some don't even focus on God all that much, it's more on focusing on their inner selves and their own spirits
While also remaining grounded and understanding the world and how it works
Religion isn't only abt god, it's abt the people and the individual
With or without religion. You would still die
It's a personal belief. And not about what happens when I die. More like how I tend to live my life
God exists and god is the full stop to the question of who created..
The only thing that's stopping you to solve this mystery is death himself
How
False, religion isn't fake, every religion is fake except for the one which jesus christ started. Jesus never started a religion, he didn't even think of it , he just wanted to lead us to the truth and wanted to save us from darkness.
This is a hot take?? 😭
It's common sense 🤑
Its not common sense many is
Not knowing the truth
Christhianity is a true religion
who created god if u say god there since the start who crated the start or what was the start
devotee alert
Exactly this, there's much more to it than just believing in God
It can help as a base too sometimes
Around 16% doesn't associate themselves, so less
Small brain alert
SON
The only god here is me 😭🙏
Well everyone has there own opinions and options
The places who associate least with religion r China, north America and Europe and their all in their own separate groups
So it doesn't rly make sense to judge how outside of these regions ppl r apparently not thinking right if they're possiblyreligious
Im so smart
Actually, north america is full of Christianity, I should know bc im in north america
But its also full if paganism
Idk if I spelled that right
I am one im not gonna lie 💔
Yeah but someone said the least associated with religion is north america
But where i live
That's why they protecting the Lego thief huh
Every turn u take on a road has a church
If you say who created god and Ans it then you'll again ask who created that with the curious nature of mankind
My home state has so many but there's also uhhm whats it called
Catholic
Idk if I spelled that right too
You should have spell check on your phone
It doesnt work 💔
If you say god is created it goes against the definition of a true god so the only god with no creator is just the full stop to it
It only works when it wants to
Probably cause you're too dumb for it to correct it
I have no idea what your talking about, could you explain?
What part
Read this too it's a part of that
I did and it doesnt make since
Sense
Bro
Idk
Which part
I checked online and north America is one of the main ones, also a lot of the time religion seems like more of a label than smth ppl bring into their own lives
He's on another level of intelligence that's why you can't understand it
👀
👄
Bro shut up 💀 nobody even asked u
It's like trying to explain something to an ant
Yeah
The fact that ur bullying a minor 💀💔 go get a life man
Brother everyone is curious and it's that I'm bored so no worries on a simple time pass 🌝
Okay why are adults weird
They clearly see MINOR on my shit and still try to hit on me
Because you haven't grown up yet
True but like 💔
There was an 26 and an 38 year old trynna hit on me
Discord is probably crawling with peds just so you are aware
You are no god
Bc that's me
I know ive had disc since I was 11 its not a very minor friendly place
There will be arguements
Be careful, there's a bunch of weirdos around💀
Dosent mean that it can be looked down on
I knowwwww but they clearly see minor on my shit and they still trynna hit on me bc they think im lying about my age bc I look and apparently act 19
Im not looking down on it lol
Its not u
Sure buds
Yh ig they just like doing on purpose, if it happens then just block maybe
Religion topics only bring chaos
Chaos is fun
I do block them but they still show up in my dms 💔
Not really
Maybe close ur dms
Yes rly
Lowkey dont know how to do that lol
Check on ur account's settings
They literally dont, someone tried to send to me and said they were like 30 I think and i reported them but they still aint fucking like gone
They should not exist tbh
We have Science
Im gonna get flamed on but idc
Science and religion don't have to be separate
History has shown that
NO it's me
Can you walk on water?
I can
I walk on the air
Grr 😡
I can make food disappear in a few seconds
I can do that too bro
Then if that should not exist then nothing should exist
Cause science speaks about alot
Type things
Uh oh
Type sh*t
Bru they should fr add gif perms here
🤷♂️
Existence is a curse
Very much
Probably too many issues with it or something idk
it's a hot take because many people are religious
I believe that when you die your mind feelings and senses just disappear you're in absolutely nothingness and since while you're alive you can't comprehend what nothing feels like you want to believe there's an afterlife
Probs
god is someone that we do not know but someone we wish is
so that we have someone to look up to
I look at the clouds
cool
I like myself
I like you too
🥰
Im scared of dying
Okay you'll die quicker
thats messed up fr
all of us will die someday that's why we should cherish our lives while we still have it
So what
people have been dead and brought back i know a guy that said he crashed in a motorcycle accident died and came back cus the doctors they felt like trying to bring him back even though his heart stopped and it worked now he is more religious
did he got into that accident by not bring religious?
he wasnt very religious and he was skipping prayers i think and then he crashed
only god knows if he crashed to show the severity of death but its possible
damn, so god only protects those who pray
god tests people and sometimes people are given chances to change and become religious. those tests can involve dangerous situations but when your live is over is when you were chosen to stop being tested
me when god gives me cancer as a test
that sucks
but on the bright side that means you can bear it because no test is of more capacity than what you can handle
Why free will needs to be monitored
Wth is this...
You all are lucky God is merciful cus what with this blasphemy
whats blasphemous about crashing? its a thing that happens
So God test babies who are deformed....?
This makes no sense
this world isnt fair but god is fair thats why we are being tested now to see if we deserve heaven later
Doesn't seem like that sometimes
Sickness,death, accidents etc happens because of sin and imperfections
God doesn't select People for accidents or negativity stuff
it gets hard but giving up is never the answer, trusting yourself will get you out of it
True
god controls everything
god is like the villain of "saw"
no
hardcore
Huh
Just STFU
Don't spoil Christianity
You have no idea of what you are saying
i keep forgetting how based this statement
im not christian
He chooses selected people to suffer or what?
Great now stfu
There's nothing blasphemous abt that
😐
wouldn't dying be better tho? yk going to heave and shit
a test of faith, the reward in the hereafter is so much greater that its more than worth it. all those wronged in this life will feel heard and get justice
We all die in the end
believing in a world that ends at death is highly pessimistic
I am a pessimist
wouldnt you agree?
doctors are pulling people away from god
So yes
you dont have to be
pessimistic and realistic, or optimistic and delusional?
pick one
Hmm
Crazy and pessimistic is better
Just guessing here, r u Muslim
yes
Alr, I guessed cos of the test mentions
if its realistic aswell then you'd know that death is the last of yourself
yea
thats coping
Eh
Muslims believe in being tested
yea
yeah, because they hope a reward for suffering, but suffering has no reason
it just happens
if you want to understand islam you have to believe in god first
Depends ig
you dont know that
yeah but neither you do
Hard if it's confusing and ppl have a lot of questions
whoever says something exist has to prove it, not the other way around
i can reference what i believe to be the truth
Magic exists but I cba to prove it
yea it exists
do you believe in the big bang?
Idk, sorta
well that proves god because every reaction needs a cause
This is just my opinion
something cannot happen from nothing
Cause and effect
unless another force is at play
exactly
I'm not an atheist, I just have low faith
Not religious
thats fine, faith fluctuates
True ig
but stand with what you believe in because evil people dont want you to have any faith
Yeah
just to be a hopeless person
The only reason why I'm not religious is because there's no undeniable proof for any religion
there is proof
Hope is better than hopelessness but it also takes up energy
What proof
fortnite
SON🥀🥀
are you an intellectual
Yes
if life is a test, why isnt it an equal test? a fair test?
k, im a dm u smt
its more than fair you just wont be rewarded in the same lifetime
this world is just that one marshmellow test: withhold now, benefit later
thats guessing
no im referencing the truth
sure
I believe that what we consider a god is your average fourth dimensional being so I believe we weren't necessarily created by God but I do believe there are beings better than us
Do u mean like beings we can't see
if thats the case then maybe htler was good.
think about it, he made the test way quicker for a lot of people
sounds like an all tomorrows conclusion
he died and hes a human, nothing about him is worthy of worhip
We can't comprehend beings in the fourth dimension which I think I remember the Bible says we living beings can't comprehend God
being bad is selfless
no
Or rather we can't see them, another plane
Have you even read all tomorrows
The unseen world
no 😭 i just know ur pfp is like the powerful creature that tortures the others
was i right on that idk
All tomorrows is fire you got to read that
A summary is in the future humanity conquered our galaxy but then powerful aliens who have mastered genetic engineering turned humanity into grotesque creatures
According to his logic ,
It is being a worker of His religion God by testing people
no thats not my logic at all
So explain....
How does that work with Islam
only god can test people. those that attack others are sinning and they have failed their own tests, leading them to be punished unless they repent
What abt those who've caused suffering on others
attack, cause suffering, etc thats a sin and justice will be served.
Justice isn't always served
i love that all of that justice is not visible by its own logic
God would be involved again then
So ig not
and thats bad, for some reason
even mark Zuckerberg shows up for Facebook
but god wont
More like we need to stop relying on God for everything
Or we would never learn
And stay stupid
difficult when you are supposed to follow its teachings or else you forever burn
I also think that your life would be much better without you worshiping something instead go ahead and live your life have fun do whatever you please cuz you are your own person
I mean some of it's simple stuff
U don't gotta be religious for some of it
Morals and decency or smth
You go about claim Christian when you are even sure about the teaching
Jesus removed sin in the aspect of us being able to have a relationship with God which wouldn't be possible if he didn't die for us
Imperfection remained invalid opinion...
and we still had htler after that
Like making fun of ppl, that's fun
great
No focus on yourself be nice to others but make sure that you have fun in this life cuz life is short
but afterlife is eternal tho
Idk what u mean by claim but that's what I was told abt the religion so it isn't even my own personal opinion, also just shows how weak humans r if he had to sacrifice himself
I don't believe in an afterlife it just doesn't make sense
🐴
Yh ofc, nice point
That imperfection and sin
Jesus gave use the opportunity to have a relationship with God and free us from the sin of Adam and Eve,not really stoping all sin or imperfection
and whats that relationship with god like? he doesn't even talk back?
Study your Bible
I wouldn't waste my time explaining to you if you claim to be Christian
If it were to be others that would be understandable
Talking to him in prayer etc
What relationship do you have with your father
I'm not religious and I might not even be Christian, also I never claimed I'm anything lol
talking to yourself lmao
I know You might use but you can see your father as an excuse
You didn't answer that question
none 
Then don't have a opinion on what Christians say cus it would be dumb giving opinions of what you are not part of or have a clue about
I didn't make an opinion, I made a statement of what I was taught in school abt it
ph, i thought it said Christmas
Since you're talking every here as a joke ig we are done here
Ur eyes r playing tricks on u
damn
🤦
Okay
💔
Damn didn't know u were
All the sheep running to the religious hot takes
it is consistent with science, no contradictions, explains miracles, highly sophisticated
There's no proof you're god exists
Give me some real proof then
dms
they then start e dating*
bro
Still saying same thing
Apart from not seeing him ,what is you prove he doesn't exist?
To everyone who's asking that "give me proof that god doesn't exist"
As a matter of fact , y'all need to give proof cos it's you who guys claimed that god exists
So the burden of proof is on you guyss
That's like me claiming that there's a spaghetti monster in the universe nd asking ya guys to prove that it doesn't exist
😭😭
its really basic but thats their weakness, basic concepts
Ikrrrr
Even if god exists , i bet my life on it that atleast it aint anything as such that these religions describe
There r way too many flaws in every religion for em to be true or even close to it
Part of my claim that God exist is creation
Someone created everything
The earth didn't come from nothing
No atheist have giving a solid claim of him not existence ,the usual sentence "if he exist why can't we see him"
There are millions of things we can't see or we are yet to discover
You should have a proof cus you can't use your lack of knowledge to write out things that they don't exist
So...?
Just like saying sound doesn't exist because you are deaf and can't hear it,
You claim God doesn't exist then who created the earth, me right....?,
there was a force behind creation and that force or person can be God
Alright i believe that god exists and he is a sphagetti monster with a fat ahh who created this universe
Since u cant use ur "lack of knowledge" to prove that spaghetti god doesn't exist , that means that it is real 😊
by that logic everyone's parents are always right, everything they do is excused, and we should worship them.
because they are your creators
I believe that what you guys consider of God is a fourth dimensional creature but it wouldn't make sense that we were created
psudointelligent statement
It's alright
sure bro
