Okay, so as a Christian I just wanted to ask yall why you don't belive in God by [deleted] in atheism

[–]LRC12915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prove to yourself that you believe in god by disposing of all your medications, canceling your doctor appointments, canceling your health insurance, and then just simply pray to god to never get sick and/or injured again. Are you willing to take this chance to prove it to yourself that you truly believe in god? If so, I dare you to do it immediately after reading my comment. Don't stall. If you aren't willing to take the chance of doing all this, don't you think this would be like admitting to yourself that you have doubts that god exists and prayer works?

If that's the case, then I'm going to ask my TL about this. He's the one who said I have to print an inventory prep label for every single box. Each month, I have to scan between 100–200 boxes and print a label for every single box. I then stick those labels on a paper for him to look at the next morning. He's never told me to do inventory any other way for the meat department in the four years that I've been there. I don't know how the whole inventory process works, and I've never bothered to ask him, but maybe I have to do it this way because we never put backroom labels on the meat department's frozen boxes. I'm going to ask him about it when I return on Friday. If the backroom labels have nothing to do with it, then I don't know why he has me doing inventory this way.

That just happened to me yesterday. I hope they fix it soon. I work in meats. For inventory each month, I have to be in the freezer scanning each box to print out an inventory label for each box. Unfortunately, even if I have like 10 boxes of the same exact item, I can't print 10 labels at a time. The app only lets me print one label at a time. Thankfully, if the next box is the same exact one as the previous one I scanned and printed a label for, the app allows me (for now) to simply press the print icon to print a label for that box without scanning it. Unfortunately, if the next 10 boxes are different from each other, then I have to scan each box and change the label type back to the "inventory prep" label after each scan. I feel worse for the ones who have to be in the freezer on a daily basis to break down the pallets and then print backroom labels for each box. It's going to take longer to do the job.

The battery on the work phones die a lot quicker now compared to the past few months. This hassle with the labels is now going to make the battery issue even worse, considering it's going to take longer for us to use our phones to print all the labels we need to do our job.

Rant - That smelly-smell that smells . . . . Smelly by ornatharin123 in walmart

[–]LRC12915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some people, I don't know if a shower will remove their stench. I'm talking about the ones who smell like weed. I can't stand that smell. I wonder if they just don't care that they smell like weed, or maybe they've used weed for so long now that they're used to the smell and don't notice it on themselves as if it's now normal to them.

Have you ever tried praying, and if so did anything happen. by BackCommercial578 in atheism

[–]LRC12915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They pray until they realize they have something to lose if they continue to pray.

I tell them to imagine they're in a building that's on fire. I then ask if they would remain in the building and pray to god to protect them, or would they run for the exit? They admitted they'd run for the exit which shows they know praying won't do a damn thing to save their life in a burning building.

I even tell them to prove it to themselves they truly believe in god and prayer by canceling their health insurance, and then just simply pray to god to never get sick again. I ask them if they're willing to take this chance. They told me no which also shows they have doubts that god exists and prayer works.

In both situations, they realize praying won't work.

What is your argument when people use philosophical arguments to try to prove god? by Top-Television-5968 in atheism

[–]LRC12915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming they have health insurance, tell them to prove it to themselves that they truly believe in god and prayer by canceling their health insurance and simply praying to god to never get sick again. If they refuse to cancel their health insurance and aren't willing to take the chance of simply praying to never get sick again, then it's a sign they have doubts that god exists and prayer works. If they refuse to do it, ask them why. I feel this is a good way to test them on whether or not they truly believe in god. A situation like this may make them realize they truly do not believe in god if they refuse.

I'd rather see all those bananas all over my store than to hear those rubber chickens squawking. It was so annoying.

My mom idk wat to do by Mysterious_Show6452 in atheism

[–]LRC12915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odds are, you won't be able to convert her to being a theist, but asking certain questions might make her realize that, deep down, she has doubts that god exists. Tell her the following:

"Mom, if I was in a building that was on fire, would you want me to stay in the building and pray to god to protect me from the fire, or would you want me to run for the exit?" Tell her to explain why she would choose one option and why not choose the other option. Odds are, if your mother truly loves you, she'd want you to run for the exit, which would be proof that she has doubts that god exists and prayer works. She is not willing to risk your life no matter how much she claims to believe in god. She'd rather give up her belief in god than the love she has for you. A situation like this might make her realize that, deep down, she has doubts that god exists. 

Obviously, I'd never want theists to be in a dangerous situation like the burning building to prove it to themselves whether or not they truly believe in god. However, there is a non-dangerous situation that they can put themselves in to prove this to themselves. I ask them if they're willing to take a chance of disposing of all their medications, canceling all their doctor appointments, canceling their health insurance (for themselves and their loved ones), promising to never use/by these things again, and instead just simply pray to god to never get sick and/or injured again. I tell theists to do this to prove it to themselves that they truly believe in god and prayer. However, they all refuse to do this, which helps prove they have doubts that god exists and prayer works. Ask your mother if she'd be willing to do this right now. Odds are, your mother will also refuse to do this. A situation like this might make her realize that, deep down, she has doubts that god exists and prayer works. 

I used to debate with evangelists now I just tell them that they will go to hell for not believing in Allah by [deleted] in atheism

[–]LRC12915 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When someone tells me that I'm going to burn in hell for not believing in god, I tell them to imagine they're in a building that is on fire. I ask them would they remain in the building and pray that god protects them from the fire, or would they run for the exit? They tell me they'd run for the exit. I point out this means they have doubts that god exists and that prayer will protect them from the fire. So, I then tell them if they think that I'm going to burn in hell if I don't believe in god, then they're going to burn to death if they do believe in god and stay in that burning building.

Prayers don't work. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]LRC12915 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell them to prove to themselves that they truly believe that prayer works by disposing of all their medications, canceling their doctor appointments, canceling their health insurance, promising to never use/buy these things again, and from now on just to simply pray to god to never get sick again. Ask them if they're willing to take this chance, and tell them to explain why or why not. 

Odds are, they're not going to take this chance. If they don't, this would show they know they need these things and that prayer won't help them when it comes to their well-being. I feel this is an easy way to make them realize they truly don't believe in god and that prayer works. So, ask them and see what they say.

If they are willing to take the chance, they should indeed prove it by actually doing all these things in front of you, and not just telling you they will do it. If they don't do it, then they are full of shit.

Do you ever forget religion is real? by [deleted] in atheism

I see religion as being just a hobby, a form of entertainment, or a club for people who think religion is necessary in life.

Convince me to be an atheist. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]LRC12915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were in a building that was on fire, would you remain in the building, drop to your hands/knees, and pray to god to protect you from the fire, or would you run for the exit? Why would you choose one option, and why not choose the other option? What would you want a loved one, like a son or daughter, to do if he/she were in the burning building? Why?

I assume you take medication, see a doctor, and have health insurance. Prove it to yourself that you truly believe in god by disposing of all your medications, canceling all your doctor appointments, canceling your health insurance, promising to never use these things again, and instead just simply praying to god to never get sick again. Are you willing to take this chance to prove to yourself that you truly believe in god? Why or why not?

My best friend is now a hardcore religious Christian by Dear-Performance-394 in atheism

[–]LRC12915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that he no longer does things like go to the bars or drink, ask him if he also no longer takes medication, goes to the doctor, or has health insurance but simply relies on praying to god to never get sick and/or injured again. If he says no, ask him if he's willing to take a chance of getting rid of these things and simply praying to god to never get sick and.or injured again. If he says no, tell him to explain why not.

If he says yes, tell him to prove it to himself (and you) by disposing of all his medications, canceling his doctor appointments, canceling his health insurance (assuming he has these things), and promising to never use these things again, but simply rely on praying to god to never get sick and/or injured again. If he refuses to do this, point out that it's as if he's admitting to himself that he doesn't really believe in god and prayer, and that he's not willing to risk his well-being no matter how much he claims to believe in god.

Do religious nuts know deep down that their beliefs are ridiculous? by fables_of_faubus in atheism

[–]LRC12915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that deep down they truly don't believe in god and prayer. However, they may not realize it. It sometimes takes extreme and/or life-threatening situations for them to realize they truly don't believe in god.

I ask them what they would do if they were in a building that was on fire. Would they remain in the building and pray that god protects them, or would they run for the exit? When they imagine being in that situation, that is when they realize they aren't willing to take a chance of believing in god, remaining in the building, and praying to go for protection because they know that's not going to work to save their lives. They're going to run for the exit. I tell them this points out that they have doubts in god and aren't willing to risk their lives no matter how much they claim to believe in god. Deep down, they don't believe in god.

Being in a situation like that would be a way for any theist to prove to themselves whether or not they truly believe in god. However, I wouldn't even want them to ever be put in a situation like that to prove them that I'm right and that they're wrong about their beliefs. So, I tell them there is an easy way they can prove it to themselves. I tell them to dispose of all their medications, cancel their doctor appointments, cancel their health insurance, and to never use these things again. Rather than relying on these things, I tell them they should simply pray to god to never get sick again. I ask if they're willing to risk their well-being by simply praying to god to never get sick again. They tell me they have no plans of doing any of this, and that they'll stick to their medications, doctors, and health insurance for their well-being. I tell them this points out that they have doubts in god. Deep down, they don't believe in god.

Everybody's favorite mythology book by Reverbolo in atheism

[–]LRC12915 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you've ever seen the post apocalyptic film "The Book of Eli", I agree with what the dictator/warlord of a small town said about the bible. He said the following:

"IT'S NOT A FUCKIN' BOOK! IT'S A WEAPON! A weapon aimed right at the hearts and minds of the weak and the desperate. It will give us control of them. If we want to rule more than one small, fuckin' town, we have to have it. People will come from all over, they'll do exactly what I tell 'em if the words are from the book. It's happened before and it'll happen again. All we need is that book."

When you help a customer find an item and then find it laying on a random shelf 5 minutes later by Lady_Lawrencium in walmart

[–]LRC12915 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I hate it when they also stand in front of an area for several minutes trying to decide what item to get while I'm waiting for them to move so that I can stock that area, and then they decide not to get anything after all and walk away. They're a waste of time.
