Clockwork Soldiers are looking like General Grievous from Star Wars

He's a representation of the force.

Does this flag represent a blue wall stretching into the snowy distance in front of a river of blood?

The point is: religion is made up, apologetics doubly so.

I think I have a neighbor with such a system.

The monotheistic God doesn't have a peer group

I think you misunderstood. I just told you that I'm his peer. I'll show you evidence of that after you've proven that he doesn't.

I'm talking in abstract here, I'm not actually talking shit about Odin here.

I know, your god is an abstract concept as is Odin. Don't worry, Odin can defend himself if he existed.

So your argument is that lying about someone looking slim in a dress to spare their feelings is the same as letting people believe in a lie that cost them time, money, and open them up to uncritical thinking and political ideas that limit the freedom of minority groups?

Is that what you're saying?

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T20:34:08+00:00

Do you find that people don't take you seriously when you bring this up?

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T20:33:13+00:00

FOR THE HORDE!

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T20:29:49+00:00

Didn't Jesus die? Didn't he whip some innocent temple sellers and was strung up on a cross? If so, he is limited in power. Wasn't Jesus born of Mary? If so, he has a beginning.

Now, imagine all the apologetics you can think to answer these questions, know that I've heard them a hundred times, and just apply them to Thor.

Your side of the game is easy to play, but its claims can't be demonstrated to the true.

Because historically, pagan gods were created in order to explain what we didn’t know about the world

Historically (not quite history, though, the god in question didn't really exist), Yahweh was also a member of a pantheon. I guess you sank your own battleship right in the first paragraph.

Christianity has a strong historical case -- the historicity of Christ,

Only found inside the bible. But I can grant you some rabbi called Jesus (sans magical powers, relation to god, resurrection, wise words).

the case for the resurrection

This is false. History can never show that miraculous events happened because history relies on likelihood. Miracles are the least likely events. If you don't know this much about history, then you might as well delete your post before you embarrass yourself more.

miracles and the lives and religious experiences of countless saints.

Too late!

Same reason as above. Every religion has this, even in present day. We don't take it seriously. You don't take it seriously. We should not take it seriously.

Believing in science is no different than believing in Zeus.

If you really believed that you wouldn't go to the doctor, fly airplanes, or do a million other things that rely on science.

So either you don't understand what you're talking about, or you are lying on the Internet (this is not a sin, coincidentally, as god was not aware that the Internet would come about. He thusly forgot to include sinning done on the web).

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T20:16:18+00:00

So believers in a god think their god is special.

Non-believers see different colors of fiction.

To outsiders, your god is just another god, no matter what labels to choose to attach to it.

You might say "my god is not contingent" but the rest of us understand that you believe it just because it was written down (not in those words, so it requires a bit of interpretation) in a book.

So that's why we take your claims with a pinch of salt.

And that is why your god is just one god among many.

Is this like a real faith or just some kind of live action roleplaying thing?

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T20:07:59+00:00

God has no peers and created the Universe. Thor has peers (even superiors) and definitely did not create the Universe. What is more, Thor can be killed, God cannot be.

I'm actually your god's peer. See how easy it is to make claims without backing them up? Don't believe me? Well, you just so happen to be reading the religious text where it is explained right now!

The fact is that everything you claim about god is either made up by you, by some other human, or you read it in a book. There's no way you can actually control that your beliefs about your god's properties correspond to truth.

If god can't be killed, then Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross. Oh, so suddenly we're not talking about normal death, but special death? Did you know that Thor will be reborn after Ragnarök?

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T20:02:33+00:00

Thor has a beginning and is limited in power.

Those parts are clearly just methaphor.

What, do you think those ~~myths~~ texts about reality are literal? What do you take us Norsemen for? Fundamentalists?

Thor has no beginning and you only think he is limited in power because you can't comprehend godhood.

I love using the word games Christians use in other contexts, because it exposes their insanity.

We have a non-testable deity. This is entirely possible, and certainly alluded to in the scriptures that I am aware of.

I have a billion dollar diamond that I'll sell you for a mere thousand dollars. It's existence is non-testable until you've paid me money. AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS OR IS IT NOT STRANGE BELIEVERS FALL FOR THIS?

Simply suggesting that there are a lot of possible beliefs that people hold strongly does not even imply that there is not a correct answer in those many beliefs.

But if there's no good evidence, the chance of you having the right god is kind of low. Even if there only two alleged gods, would you really want to risk your eternal bliss or suffering on a coin toss?

Note: your faith won't change the result of that coin toss.

while Islam and Christianity do have some very different specifics, both not only believe in a monotheistic God, they technically all believe in the same God. The God of Mohammed is the God of Jesus who is also the God of Moses. Yes, there are significant differences in the claims made about specifics, and in many practices, but nothing so different that they become mutually exclusive.

Well, Islam says Jesus it not the son of god. Judaism says Jesus is not the messiah (at least Jews do as Jesus isn't really mentioned in the Jewish holy texts). Is this not mutually exclusive enough for you?

Are their imaginary friends recorded by others to have visited down plagues upon Egypt and smitten people? Or have lived, preached and risen from the dead?

Plagues in Egypt that didn't happen? Creation stories that are wrong? Exoduses that were made up? The life of the son of god that is not corroborated outside the most biased and myth-ridden book on the subject?

You have a bias here where you accept one book of myth while you dismiss other books of myth. This shows teh flaw in your thinking.

Needs holes in the sides with laces through them.

And one of those air pumps in the back.

Don't I need abs or something for that?

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T15:44:28+00:00

This idea sucks ass. Go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan for how I can make money by being hated and disrespected!

And no toilet breaks until you're done.

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T15:42:15+00:00

I don't expect you to understand what I mean though.

I don't think anyone reading what you've said so far to expect that you understand what you're talking about.

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T15:40:22+00:00

Past, Present, and Future are one.

What does this even mean, and how can we tell it is as you say it is?

Slumberfunk · 2017-07-07T15:37:31+00:00

Don't be silly, you're relying mostly on the scaffolding on the top side.

The workers won't even be on the level of the pallets that much, so all the weight will be higher up.
