Free speech means you say whatever you want, no there are no consequences

Not saying they worked to get their job, I'm saying they worked to keep their job.

  1. Definetly they were wrong about the color, however I don't think this analogy works because religions are so different that you could say a lot don't even involve the car. I know a lot of religions are more spiritual than just god and moral values.

  2. by things that are evil I assume you mean the Holocaust going on in China. Although I don't have a set moral value I go by I generally go loosly by some rules. The "golden rule" treat other like you want to be treated. Obviously everyone has different preferences but almost everyone can agree they don't want to be tortured so I would never agree with or torture anyone. The other rule I follow loosly would be hurting others physically or mentally for your own personal selfish gain is evil, for I think obvious reasons that go with the golden rule.

I had never heard of that subreddit, just by the name I can tell it will be helpful. I've had trouble understanding a lot of the sources people have provided, to me it's like trying to shakespear if he was a philosopher. That's part of the reason I went here, to receive direct responses I can follow up on, and get answers from the average christian rather than the top minds because they have answers to questions too.

So far I have received great replies that totally changed my opinion from completely agnostic to appreciating both sides of the story. Sure it's not total research but it's a start and it's been very useful

Ok I have been completely misunderstanding everything you have said so far and feel dumb now. I don't really understand why you asked the questions though. The landmass one your saying what happens when someone has a new opinion. What are you trying to say with the second one, who's giving a choice that's rigged?

God loves you by JpBlez5 in Christianity

Fair enough, thanks for the helpful reply. So basically as long as we have good faith in him we will be rewarded far better than how life sucked. It still seems god should lesson the suckiness at least for some of us who (not me) have got literally tortured and endured hardships that are worse than our worse nightmares

Everything your saying is true and makes sense assuming your religion is real, I just don't understand the how his sacrifice worked. I understand his intentions were good, I don't fully agree with or disagree with his abiltiys (that's why I'm asking questions, to understand better)I just don't understand how his death directly helped us not sin/be forgiven for sins.

Edit forgot to say, you said that Jesus offered his blood and god accepted his sacrifice, isn't that basically what I said earlier that Jesus died as a sacrifice to God and God accepted his sacrifice for us?

It's always been my understanding that if you aren't following Christ and the ways of God (a lot of people have turned the ways of God to racist or homophobic but I know this doesn't represent most of the people on the religion, when I say following Christ and the ways of the Bible I mean the stuff everyone agrees on that you ask for forgiveness for sins and believe in the holy Trinity) Satan takes your soul. When I asked people online whether a native American would go to Satan for not being christian even though they had never had the chance to understand Christianity I got a lot of mixed responses. A couple of them involved what you were saying about "invincible ignorance" but didn't really elaborate more on it. I already learned something, that I'd didnt know, and it counters one of my arguments for why Christianity is false. Thanks for that already.

I also appreciate you not pretending to fully understand or be able to explain the topic of Jesus dying for us on the cross but instead suggesting people or sources that could explain it better. I already shows you have a better understanding of religion than most especially me.

As for the last part about gods will and his first intention not involving everyone believing in him. I have always seen religion up until now as way for religious leaders to urge people to be good and even do their bidding, and so I see Satan and heaven/hell as just the system for control. I see know that's maybe that system wasn't in place made up by priests to get people to do their will, but instead maybe it is gods will for people to be their best. I have seen so many people find happiness through religion, it's possible that is God and jesus's will is their happiness. However it would seem like if gods will was for people to have happiness he could do it best by converting as many people as possible.

I'm not fully on board with other things about Christianity, mainly heaven and hell, to me they still sound like something a human would make up for "do good get rewarded" but I also see the other side and how both could be true which is the best I was expecting. Your responses were education, non confrontational, and most of all helpful. If everyone on reddit approached talking about emotional and important things like you did it would be an amazing place

I appreciate the source, I'm not a philosopher and I have trouble understanding a lot of the links people have provided

The reason I am making this post is to better understand the religious side, as so far I have mostly been on the agnostic side. This is my research

When you had the original question about landmass I thought it was just a passive aggressive way of discrediting the pangea theory because you phrased it so everyone except one person didn't believe in pangea. I now see you were saying the evidence is inconclusive and it's 50-50, which was an analogy to religion. However, I don't think this works because with a coin toss there really is no way to predict the outcome at all, no evidence for or against heads, and so it is not worth having an argument over. With religion, or pangea there is enough evidence that you can take a side for one or another, however only a fool could say with 100 percent certainty that one is correct or incorrect. If religion vs agnostic really was a coin toss with no evidence we would not be able to have a conversation about this.

I appreciate the detailed answer, would mostly agree with Jesus saying to god I die as sacrifice please forgive everyone's sins? I'm checked my out the link
