Believing in angels and a god is actually kinda funny though

You've been brainwashed by a thousand year oligarchy that uses your belief as a means to control you and make you more docile.

Every single civilization since ancient Egypt used the same methods
The deity changes with every world power

Next it's gonna be Spud. Destroyer of our world from the Andromeda galaxy

Your posts would be much less insufferable if you were at least half as smart as you think you are.

On topic: how does one believe in politics or lgbtq+? One is shaping your life everyday, the other is a group of people that want to live their lifes without being discrimimated, they both are very real things.

That being said believing in god is certainly not silly, I just personally don't. If it makes your life more bearable believing in god is certainly not a bad thing, just do not use your own religion to be intolerant against other people.

Just like Barney says in Himym: Oh please. To this question I say: Oh god.
Just like... Diddy do it?
Or... Don't Trump yourself

Linguistical masturmindur.

They are all important and worthy of consideration and belief. If you are a person who "doesn't believe in politics" you're telling on yourself. You're essentially saying you are either: Not well read enough to engage on a subject, which, to be honest is fine. OR You hold a reprehensible political philosophy and don't want to share it.

Intelligence is not all about being able to do advanced mathematics and communicate effectively to a large audience of people. It's about knowing yourself.

You can be super "intelligent" IQ wise and be brain dead street smarts. Also can be wealthy and miserable too. Would you say someone is intelligent if every time you see them they are complaining about the same thing years on end?

Part of being an effective communicator is blending into a philosophy so as to absorb its qualities without casting judgment upon it's faculties.

What you do a lot of times is cast judgment on me for being overly thorough and providing as much context as I can to anything I communicate so that it's relatable. As you can see I'm one of the few people who respects you all enough to keep doing it though you'll never fancy me with something fun to read.

God is existence itself or the universe itself. The causality behind causation. The initial cause.

We developed politics as a means of hierarchy to get shit done and give some sense of "order" to a world that "needs not to know order". It is trivial and useless. It can be made so famously complex but yet at it's core it is "maya" or "illusion".

The human brain/mind being the mechanism from which the human being communicates with the "world". The mind an illusion as well. Hard to admit that one it could take you years of self reflection.

The ego does not exist. Man made it so.

This goes back to that famous metaphor from the Bible of "Lucifer falling from the Heavens". Because "In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was God". This is stating there was NO SEPARATION. ALL WAS ONE. THOUGHT HAD NOT MANIFEST YET. This is why in the "Garden of Eden" when Eve bites of the apple of knowledge she suddenly "see's herself as seprarte from the garden and Adam and she covers herself".

These are complex metaphors that describe the human experience itself. When you allow your mind to take control you are in hell because you are being led by the "whispers of man" not the "divine authority of some all powerful god".

Showing you that in fact you are God experiencing itself as god.

That's why I find God to be the silliest because if you knew him you'd know yourself and you'd get the laugh of a true Sanyasi!

You write long paragraphs of barely cohesive rants that are often factually wrong and mistake them as context. Most of the philosophers that stood the test of time did so because they had actual logic in their thoughts.

Here you start with the premise "the old testament is the literal truth", which makes it impossible to come to any meaningful conclusions about the existence of god and therefore have to ramble a lot. Of course god exists if my premise is the book that people wrote about him existing is true - in the same vein vampires are real if I assume Dracula is the truth.

Accusing people of what you're doing isn't clever. When you seek for the culprit you often find the reaction to what you've generated... You end up reacting rather than thinking (think= ask yourself questions and attempt to filter out your own biases... opinions, precepts etc.. in order to perceive things from another perspective. I said attempt... for you've definitely failed as you often demonstrate that you don't know what a lie is). What did I do to incite this answer? What am I missing? Why am I arguing when I could be discussing and learning from the interaction?

The mind is Absolutely real and Physical (you lied). Psychological processes emerge from our brain (physical). Neurologists have studied this extensively for almost 200 years. Look at Phineas Gage and similar cases... You remove a part of a person's brain, they change. Simple as that. Sometimes they become a completely different person. If you sever the corpus callosum, there can be a number of benefits. You talk about "one side of the coin", but you're stuck in a dogmatic view of the world. I mean it: stuck. Atheists, for example, benefit from the position of believing they can learn the processes behind everything. At least, that's a fair assumption for most of them. In some of their view, theism makes them roll their eyes because any number of point could've provided some distance to start doubting. Sadly, there are statements like "doubt is not good or whatever" (exists in many religions stipulated differently to keep you from Actively seeking for alternatives to all your precepts). Heck, you will automatically want to defend yourself when what I said about you is true. You lied. You do it frequently (without realizing) and can't fathom that you're operating with biases that seclude you and justifies that people single you out FAST. You're reactive and judgmental as you create comparisons with your precepts rather than understand what people say (adopting their view by learning about it [and assuming they might be right]). Atheists simply don't believe in a god. It's like describing a hole... It's pointless. How do you describe a hole? You are forced to consider what surrounds it. To them, it is a confabulation. God, for them, is nothing. Please, for your sake, read my comment a couple of times and Do not answer it. You will have shown growth if you do. I don't believe you can grow because you were like that (with the same contentions and struggles... unable to let people believe what they want and Discuss with them rather than argue) 2 years ago. Again, there is a lot to learn from what I wrote For you. You're not forced to learn it, but... I gave it my best. You will also notice how I was neutral. I have not stated my opinion in any way. All of it is substantive and the material is in front of you. Read your own statement and try to understand what you put out and why it causes people to dislike you. Inherently, someone that argues rather than discuss tend to annoy the crap out of people. Since we're not monkeys, flinging feces at each other isn't something we enjoy. So just ask questions genuinely (to understand) and realize that your biases are Really obvious to other people. They may not know how to identify them, but... some of us do. If you sound incredulous, they won't bother to help you either.

My best wishes.

what if god was one of us?

Believing in a group of people to be the safe crowd that has been an epidemic of violence. (LGBTQ)

They used to be what they preach about 10 years ago…

They have turned violent with dissidence, I have not met a single person who represented the lgbtq community who I could get along with due to their eccentric behavior and a unwillingness to carry themselves with dignity and respect.

I believe with strong morals and values your self worth is 100x that of someone who doesn’t take pride in themselves but rather blame themselves every day for what’s not going right.

Maybe one day I can meet someone who can change my mind 🤷‍♂️

Like a stranger on a bus?
