God doesn't do any guidance its the people doing their own guidance but think it comes from god.
This is what religion wants to you to be, constantly reliant on them to tell you what to do. They manufacture an invisible problem so that they can offer you their invisible solution. While also asking for a donation, it's a very lucrative business model.
Thats why there are literally 1000's of religions offering you fake promises and checks you cant cash.

How should we live you ask? It is an extremely broad question so I will keep this brief. Create a set of goals and aim to achieve them. A constitutional republic is my preffered government but I would definitely make tweaks. I would say don't be a dick as a general yardstick. But these are just my current opinions. Why do you ask? Are you lost without religion or feel like you are a bad person that needs to be governed otherwise you will turn into some kind of feral animal?

you have no justification for "self determination, creativity and ability to do as we please" you don't actually have a reason to believe you have those or an explanation of their origin. also "using" something doesn't explain its origin, I agree you have free will and the capability to reason, but that doesn't explain the why or how part. if the universe is eternal and it's all just the laws of physics/chemistry you never "reasoned" or decided to hold the position you have, you were simply determined to following a very advanced calculation of physics.

I understand that not everyone is like me. There are unfortunate souls that have ZERO guidance, ZERO relection, ZERO conscience. There ought to be something to redeem the lost, no? Something that the truly alone (much like a feral animal) can referenced to improve themselves? I can hand them the book that says "Set goals and don't be a dick". That'll get them on the straight and narrow? I think the broad question requires a broader answer.

We all are challenged with balancing harmony with survival. I believe humans can only achieve the greatest things (peace, love, happiness) while in the harmonious presence of others. And if everyday we're creating reasons to disagree with one another, those great achievements have less likelyhood.

I appreciate your honest response this time. I hope that you'll reconsider your denial of God.

So tell me what would you say to those who have gone to prison for all their various reasons? All I need to do is turn on the news and I see a lot of crime and people who get caught who would end up in Court.

I see stuff like that and so I see a world that needs to know Jesus. Whether it's the 10 Commandments or 1 Peter 2:1, I see what requires a change of heart. You say that we Christians need the Bible to be told not to do bad things like breaking the law.

Yet there are still many people who still do the crime. How would you solve that problem? What is your ground breaking solution?

So what? Understanding how and why a sausage gets made doesn't stop me from enjoying it. Why are you obsessed to have an explanation to have a reason at all? Life moves regardless of your paranoia. Stop trying to fill the gaps in our understanding with magic it is childish.

you are admitting defeat here, basically saying "I enjoy my life, I don't need to understand it" while also making the claim Christianity is false and asserting some unjustified worldview. this is a direct contradiction, the possibility of knowledge at all requires a worldview, the Christian worldview is the perfect worldview that explains these things, while scientism/materilism cannot justify the tools they use and they borrow from Christianity in an attempt to reject it.

materialism is fundamentally incoherent and incapable of explaining the world

your pragmatism and preferences are not an adequate replacement for ontology or truth

Ah the classic argument from ignorance returns.

Absence of an explanation does not conclude magic is real I am going to start a logical fallacy bingo card if you keep this up.
You completely ignored my question once again and started replaying your programmed response like an oblivion npc.

The moment you rely on magic to to explain anything you have already lost, that is peak cope. Especially when you don't have proof to back it up.

your meme is strawman fallacy
thanks for playing fallacy bingo

Nice way of contracting yourself here.

Ever notice atheists only deal in tautologies, thought terminating clichés and retardation? They don't have any real points of view, just meme quotes from celebrities and pedo adjacent retards. Anyway, the 'New Atheist' movement throwing 'gods, religion and morality' out while asking Epstein for life advice and money will never not be hilarious to me. Hedonism, consumerism and materialism sounds like such a bleak existence. I remember being an edge lord atheist in my younger years. It was a deeply unfulfilling way to live, and anyone who isn't a slave to their own selfish desires leaves that phase of life eventually. The most annoying thing about these people is that they genuinely think they're smarter than they actually are. I can forgive young people for this, because society and the education system grinds them into dust with relentless propaganda. But if you make it over the age of 30 and still cling to shallow materialist worldviews, you're in for some pretty bleak twilight years.
