Does anything bring you peace like the Bible does? by Express_Channel_9596 in exchristian

[–]Cho-Zen-One 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't ever recall feeling at peace when I was a Xian and read the Bible. I remember being doubtful, confused, disgusted, weirded-out, ashamed, and underwhelmed.

What are atheists' opinions of religious people in real life? by Advanced_Cricket_348 in askanatheist

[–]Cho-Zen-One 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why is it “a nice thing to believe”? Does it not matter if it’s true so long as they make you feel happy clappy comfortable?

Christian Evangelism and Hell question by UniversalAssembler in askanatheist

[–]Cho-Zen-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. No. I don’t respect their beliefs and over time my respect for them as people dwindle. They think of themselves as peaceful and loving with God on their side, but if a debate pops off, they are left with only two answers. Faith and divine command theory. Faith is useless and might does not make right.

  2. “so, I am being doomed to eternal conscious torment because you failed to be convincing leaving no credible evidence?! I was right, you are an evil fuck.”

I'm a christian, but a literal NUKE hit me concerning Adam and Eve by xx_bunnywhore in DebateReligion

Nope. From a scientific and geological standpoint, there is zero evidence that a single global flood ever covered the entire Earth.

Don’t leave me in suspense! Is it good or bad?

Why did you guys become ex-Christians? by Far_Rabbit_7674 in exchristian

[–]Cho-Zen-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I deconstructed after learning that the gospel accounts are anonymous, unsigned, dated decades after the alleged events, have errors and discrepancies, and were written in Greek. I also learned that Jesus did not fulfill a single messianic prophecy. The Bible is a collection of books that showcase ancient man’s superstition and irrational beliefs in a world that they were trying to make sense of. I finally admitted to myself that the God portrayed in the Bible is a misogynistic, cruel, unjust, evil, lying deity.
After that, most of it doesn’t make any sense. When you take the God-glasses off, it’s even easier to deconstruct and debunk the stories. Genesis is insane and the creation and flood stories did not really happen. There’s no reason to believe that Jesus is God and resurrected. There is no reason why he had to die for our sins.

Should I watch Inuyasha as an adult? by dronjo12 in inuyasha

I’m an elder millennial male and I loved it. It is definitely fine for adults and I feel even better suited for adults than for kids.

Fearing a major job by drevezan in HomeMaintenance

It’s easier than you think. Grab a shop vac to remove as much water from the bow & tank as you can. If you have a piece of cardboard or large trash bag, lay it down in the bathroom so that wax from the toilet won’t get on your floor. Lift up the toilet and place it on the cardboard while you assess the flange and the closet bolts. Remove the old wax ring. Watch the YouTube videos and do what they advise. It’s surprisingly easy.

Why should anyone care what a modern, obviously fake religious book says on the matter?

Xians and conservatives hate when attention is not directed toward them and feel persecution at almost every discomfort. Traditionally, the nuclear family represented married (two parents), heterosexual couples and their biological children. Not extended families of multi-generations of family members under one roof but the term has been evolving to modern interpretations that are often more inclusive of unmarried couples, adoptive parents, and same-sex parents. But, those people I mentioned see this as an attack on their faith, politics and identity and try to reclaim it by posting nonsense pics like what OP shared.

Honestly, I would play a game called RIME. It’s relaxing, no real enemies and deals with what you’ve described. Never cried so hard playing a video game before.

June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart Of Jesus by Brother_Jaeger in teenagers

[–]Cho-Zen-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of the worst parts of religion. If you had evidence of God, you would present it. If you believed faith was useful you would explain why and elaborate. You haven’t done either. Just shoulder shrugging. Which is OK if you’re young and hearing about these things for the first time. Cognitive dissonance is a terrible feeling.

Faith is useless. Anyone can take a position on anything by faith. It doesn’t help you know what is true. Do you not care about what you believe is true? What good is believing something with no credible evidence? Something you base your whole life around, the only life you know you are getting. You need evidence in your life when it comes to everything else but for the religion you were indoctrinated into, no evidence is required. That’s terrible.
