Another psycho christian who thinks eternal punishment is somehow loving.

Fuck off, death cultist.

I have to consciously remind myself that my parents were and are wrong.

Sometimes I imagine the versions of them that live in my head gagged and bound in cages.

No, dad, it was not a self-fulfilling prophecy that ruined my life, it was child abuse. No, mom, I should not repress my own emotions to please others. I am a human being, not your fucking possession.

They’ll be part of me for as long as I am alive, but sometimes I can shut them up.

I am trying to make something out of the ruins of my life. Not much luck so far. Therapy hasn’t helped yet. I wish people would stop normalizing abuse. The bible belt is a cesspool of stubborn, deadly ignorance.

Our first parents willfully chose to rebel against God, thereby sinning and introducing death and other negative consequences, including suffering, into man’s earthly existence

ALL OF WHICH IS GOD’S FAULT IF HE IS ALL-POWERFUL. What part of that are you struggling to understand?

Why are innocent children killed for the mistakes their ancestors made?

Stop outsourcing your thinking. Shitty apologetics are like AI to you, they hallucinate and tell you what you want to hear and you pretend it is fact.

He came down to earth as the Son of Man.

To solve problems of his own creation in needlessly violent fashion, I know the story.

And my argument for God is basic philosopy and logic

Half of philosophy is as baseless as theology. There is no grounded standards. You’re bad at applying logic, too. All you have are fallacies.

Literally none. The problem of evil/suffering definitively disproves a god that is both loving and powerful.

strawmanning God to “magic”…

Your only argument for him is special pleading. You insist we cannot comprehend or sense him, yet you pretend to know he’s there somehow.

Sky daddy is a magic wizard who lives in your brain. It’s not a straw man. It’s an accurate description of your mental illness.

thats a generalization fallacy

It’s not. Religion is primarily about lying to get what you want. Evangelical protestantism is one example, but magical thinking is always harmful.

No, dipshit. I’m appealing to reason, not authority. Science is a process. Atheism is a lack of belief in unbelievable claims.

Your death cult is the one asserting to know things that cannot be known. You are the one lying and pretending it is true.

If you’re actually sorry, stop spreading the brainrot.

There is no correct interpretation of the bible, it contradicts itself. By normalizing lying, you enable situations like the tragedy described above.

And my friends’ suicides. Your death cult’s body count rises each day. They’re not in heaven. We will never meet again. You sell false hope at the expense of real life.

Fuck you for choosing death.

That’s a strawman, because you are misrepresenting the original commenter to make them sound less credible.

The problem with religion is the lack of standards. Grown-ass adults pretend magic is real and there is no limiting the harm they might do as a result.

Truly progressive people don’t give a shit about church doctrine. Arbitrary authority and death cults belong in the past. Magic isn’t real. Stop holding us back. Stop killing us.

The fact that our lives will come to an end makes every moment we have more precious. These are unique experiences that cannot be replicated.

Easy to say, and I do believe it, but also…

Boomers like my parents chose and still choose to perpetuate abusive systems instead of opposing them. I spent too long thanking them for teaching me violence because any other reaction would be met with violence. Why am I supposed to feel grateful about being born into a backwards, burning slave world?

I am finally getting treatment for alcohol dependency. I want to stop hiding from my own life, but I don’t know how. I wasted myself on people who don’t actually care about anything but themselves. It sometimes feels like there is too much pain for anything to be worthwhile, but I am also too scared to check out early.

So… I don’t know. We have a lot of problems to solve. Things may get worse before they get better, but there is potential for things to get better. Theoretically. 🤷 I hope they get better for everyone, including you. I wish I knew.

Nah, just take one when you get the job. Then never again. For luck. 😉

I was late on my first day for the same reason. 🙃 But I soon realized my mistake and worked with them for a couple of years before moving on to something else.

Yeah. The right is an audience that enjoys shit like Jeff Dunham. Less clever satire, more “HUHUHUH THE RACIST PUPPET SAID A RACIST THING I AGREE WITH UNIRONICALLY”

Try searching for communities related to your interests.

Also, I’m no longer in my underwear.

I was nervous about the phone interview (no video) for my first job, so I took a shower before it started. But I didn’t realize we were in different time zones, so the call came an hour sooner than I expected. I did the interview with a towel wrapped around me. I got the job.

Think critically and exercise empathy. Humanize people. Oppose ongoing abuses. Enjoy the lifelong pursuit of knowledge. The truth is a threat to them, which is why they keep spraying lies everywhere.

It causes needless suffering.

I’m happy with a vegan patty.

Right, but a celebrity look-alike would be much cheaper than the celebrity, and their faces might be practically indistinguishable.
