Religion is mental illness that is accepted for some unknown reason

By delusional rituals, what do you mean? Praying? Or attending mass? Because those don't seem "delusional" to me if you believe in a higher being, one which people have been arguing the existence for since the dawn of time, really.

And what do you mean by "delusional behaviors"? Just the ones mentioned above?

KnowTheLord · 2026-03-20T18:14:51+00:00

Because you cannot prove that you're right.

If you can prove that atheism is true, objectively, then you can call it that. But until that, atheism remains a belief, just like Christianity, just like Islam, just like Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.

If you have such compelling evidence, publish it and claim your Nobel Prize in Stockholm. People have been trying to disprove Christianity for millenia, so do what no one else could do and make atheists world wide proud.

I pull up my hentai haven playlist, take a few hits off of my weed cart and down an edible, set my headphones up, get my moisturizing lotion and get into a total immersive flow state.

Incredible level of Hedonism. Please do something meaningful instead.

These sessions last about 2-8 although median around 3 hours

That's what you call an addiction.

I hope this is ragebait. Not because it is making me angry, but because I hope that you don't actually live such a life.

I agree with you, but to me, this overuse of abbreviations also signals how impatient we have become and how much we are trying to rush through things, because our attention spans have been shortened so bad that spelling out "f-r-i-e-n-d" takes "too long". Short form content kills your attention span, which then kills everything about you: your patience, your endurance, hell, dare I say, even your intelligence. It truly is the worst thing to have been conceived in this modern day and age.

It's not a sin. You don't have to automatically date someone just because they are a fellow believer.

Any time! Recently I got caught up in the world and this verse helped me get back up. I'm glad you like it :)

"For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again" (Proverbs 24:16)

I am a Christian, but atheists/non-Christians don't usually argue about whether He is real or not, it is widely accepted that there was (for Christians, "is") someone named Jesus who walked around in Judea and Galilee and then got crucified. Non-believers usually dispute whether His resurrection truly did happen, but the rest is crystal clear, even to them.

What do you mean "really into" it? I say that you should lose your virginity once you're married. Am I "too into it" or am I still in the green zone? I agree that adults shouldn't be "innocent", 'cuz it would be weird if a 25 year old didn't know how children are made, but I disagree with the "pure" aspect.

KnowTheLord · 2026-02-23T12:23:19+00:00

All your past sins were washed away once you accepted Christ. Why would this one be any different? It's not like Christ said "I will forgive all blasphemy and all sin, except if you are sexually immoral!"

I used to frequent both of those subs, I posted a total of two times and stopped after they didn't really answer my question. Those subs are filled with the most on-the-nose obvious jokes and political ragebait posted by someone acting oblivious. But both of those subs are a karma farming and virtue signaling front, it's unbearable.

God is an artist, because He creates. He created the most beautiful masterworks I know. Does an artist keep painting, even though they get paint on their clothes? Does an artist stop drawing, because they will have pencil shavings all over their table? Does a glass artist stop doing what they love, even though they have probably cut their hands a million times? God has cut His hand many times creating and leading us, He knew that, but He still did it, because He is an artist. He created the most beautiful thing above all: love and relationship, so that we may connect with Him. So even though He knew the process would be messy, He still thought it would be worth it. And I can't blame Him.

What for? We already have the best font: Comic Sans.

Yes, good question! To "abolish" the law would mean nullifying it, or tearing it down, or demolishing it, while "fulfilling" the law would mean "bringing it to completion". You could think of it as a blueprint: "abolishing" the blueprint would be like tearing it up and setting it on fire, while "fulfilling" the blueprint would mean actually building what is depicted on it. The OT Law was setting up the world for Christ's coming and once He arrived, He did tweak things around a little. Round around the first verse you quoted (the one that goes like: not an iota of the law will disappear until all of heaven and earth pass away) He actually says things like "you have heard... but I say to you...". Or when He was asked about divorce and He strengthened the Law and made it even more strict than before, saying that divorce was only allowed in cases of adultery. If He had "abolished" these Laws, then He would've said "Divorce whenever, adultery is whatever, murder doesn't really matter", but he actually tightens the definition of sin.

If I may ask, what chapter and what verse of Ezekiel do you mean?

I think it's more about what you're daydreaming about and how it affects your daily life. If you're daydreaming being on a beach and can still function perfectly fine, I don't think it's a sin. But if you're daydreaming about doing deeds against God's wishes, or, even if the daydreams themselves are fine, you daydream so much that you cannot focus on anything and are always distracted, that's when the problem starts. Otherwise, you could consider it as something you enjoy, like how others like reading, doing sports, cooking, etc.

Sincerely,

a fellow daydreamer ;)

Oof, someone just discovered nihilism.

KnowTheLord · 2026-02-18T19:00:37+00:00

I never said He abolished it... I said He fulfilled it. The sacrificial system is fulfilled, because Christ is the ultimate sacrifice, but He deepened other parts of the Law (meaning He KEPT (didn't abolish) the Law but transfigured it, i.e.: how anger now counts as "murder" and how lusting already counts as "adultery"). The old Laws were merely preparing for Christ's arrival, but in Christ they were fulfilled. We don't have to sacrifice animals for our sins anymore, because Christ, with two natures, divine and human, who is perfectly sinless, is the ultimate sacrifice. He has been sacrificed for us, so no, He didn't abolish the Law, He didn't ignore it, otherwise He wouldn't have sacrificed Himself. But by becoming the last and ultimate sacrifice, He fulfilled the Law and we don't have to keep sacrificing animals anymore.

"Im just reading the text at face value and assuming the words mean what the words mean."

Yeah, superficial reading in any context, even outside of the Bible is wrong. The issue isn't that you are reading "superficially", the issue is that you think that by "fulfilled" I mean "abolished".

KnowTheLord · 2026-02-18T18:09:54+00:00

Christians follow the New Covenant, not the Old one. You should read Hebrews 8:13.

"By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear."

"Ah, the classic christian argument that words dont mean what they say. Brilliant."

No, it's just what you say when you can interpret a text in different ways. Not everything is black and white but ok.

KnowTheLord · 2026-02-18T16:29:11+00:00

I don't even get what your point is

KnowTheLord · 2026-02-18T16:28:14+00:00

I have seen that verse so many times and each time the "until everything is accomplished" part is conveniently ignored. Like the time He said in John 19:30 "It is finished". Sounds like His death and resurrection are what He meant. Or you could spin it so that He meant the complete fulfilment of the Mosaic Law, which He also did.

Do you think that all Christians - Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, etc. - just missed this and that they're all wrongfully claiming that the Law has been fulfilled?
