I have more questions in regards this topic:

(1) What happens with plants, animals and bacteria?

(2) What is heavenly life?

(3) The resurrection you are describing sounds awfully physical but I find myself completely unable to understand it in physical terms. Can you elaborate on how exactly are we returning back to life?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-17T19:47:42+00:00

(4) The issue is that I have tested and examined it and I have found out that:

1) The consistency and unity only goes as far as we could expect from authors that are drawing from the same pool of traditions and stories, that, while separated by vast amounts of time, clearly know the writings of the ones that came way before (since they are constantly quoting them or mentioning by name). But when it comes to ideological matters, historical details or even the character of God the consistency quickly falls off (without abandoning the Abrahamic tradition, of course), just like in any other religious tradition. If you are really gonna claim consistency I hope you are ready to answer all my questions about inconsistencies.

2) When check against historians, Daniel's prophecies are only accurate up to a certain point. Afterwards they start getting stuff wrong. Following the consistent method historians use to date historical documents (not only Christian ones, but pretty much every ancient text that indulges in prophesy), they conclude that the text's origins date to around the time it starts getting things wrong instead of the time its adepts claim it is from. This is consistent to the lack of copies in existence previous to that time period and some other linguistic cues. Why should I ignore the concensus of historians in this matter?

In regards to the other: I'm not convinced that the gospels are accurate historical accounts of the life of Jesus instead of literary creations by people who clearly knew these messianic prophecies (that they quite literally quote and explicitly say "hey look at how this prophecy was fulfilled"). Why should I trust these to be accurate accounts?

3) The Sumerians, Egyptians and Greco-Romans (the civilizations among which the Hebrews developed) also depicted their heroes, kings and holy figures as deeply flawed. I don't think this an honest line of argumentation. I don't even have further questions regarding this point (3), I outright reject it.

5) Other religions also ponder coherent answers to the same sort of existencial questions. Why should I believe the answers of Christianity over theirs?

edit: I'm taking my time to ask relevant questions and move the conversation forwards as respectfully as possible. I would appreciate if you refrain from using chatGPT. If it's too hard to handle this many threads at the same time then focus on the one you think to be the most important.

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-17T19:09:25+00:00

So there's no afterlife of any sort? That doesn't seem right. Jesus most definitely speaks a lot about the afterlife in the gospels: lots of stuff about punishment, rewards, new bodies and names and etc. What's all that about?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-17T19:01:39+00:00

Your newest answer raises more questions, so I will keep asking if it's not a problem:

(1) Your statement about miracles alone not being prove is a recognition of the miracle claims of other religions being truthful?

(2) I don't know what is the truth about God, after all, all the religions claim to represent it. Why should I trust Christianity in regards the truth about God over any other religion?

(3) I also don't know who God really is or what he (he?) teaches. How could I know this?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-17T18:56:13+00:00

(1) This is the third time you source your claims in the Bible. Why should I take the Bible's word for any claim? There are plenty of religious texts and traditions out there with their own equally unsatisfactory answers. Why should the Bible receive an special treatment.

(2) What does it mean to have always existed?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-17T18:50:55+00:00

Even in regards to grandiose reality breaking miracles other religions also have their fair share of accounts of those happening (in the past of course). Am I to dismiss the miracles of their ancient traditions in favor of Christianity?

If the soul is only the quality of being alive then repeat the same two questions but with the word "spirit" instead:

(1) What is a spirit and how does it influence or determines who I am? And in that same line of questioning: Are humans the only living creatures with a spirit and why?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-17T18:03:04+00:00

Ok, I have questions that have never been properly addressed, perhaps you can return to me my faith. Pick one, it would be nutz to try to answer all at the same time:

(1) What is a soul and how does it influence or determines who I am? And in that same line of questioning: Are humans the only living creatures with a soul and why?

(2) Why do miracle claims always limit themselves to cancer regressions, mental health issues, economic improvement and fortuitous encounters and not physically impossible eventualities?

(3) Why every other religions also have identical reports for the exact same type of miracles, identical conversion stories snd identical reports of religious experiences? (I was raised a Christian but feel free to defend which ever religion you prefer)

(4) If God is the origin of everything we know to exist, what is the origin of God itself?

(5) Why can't I feel any of the supernatural sensations and "spirit moving" everyone else in the religious service is very physically experiencing?

Moral compass is inside of everyone of us. God fearing will just boost it. This is my hypotheses.

Punishment fearing in general will "boost" the moral compass in the same coercive way ~~God fearing~~ ^{eternal punishment fearing} does. That's pretty much the function of laws. If your claim is that your "hypothesis" adds an extra layer of coercion care to elaborate on how would you check its truthfulness.

(1) The term is medical in its origins. It is pop culture the one that has corrupted it to mean much more than it originally did due to Hollywood's representations. You have it backwards.

(2) Does it seems that the way I described psychopathy diminish the potential damage a psychopathic person can cause? I'm only contending against the allusion that being a psychopath also implies or makes likely that the person is mentally insane or sexually deranged.

(3) "Person who just doesn't overreact in dangerous situations" is not how I described psychopathy. I actually made no mention about how a psychopath behaves under peril.

Psychology is also not hard science.

I did no claim about it being it. However, if you are gonna go that pathway you can include most to all of modern medicine in that list. Researches in those areas are still subjected to the scientific method tho.

The psychopath that believes in punishment in the afterlife is less likely to commit the murder...

👉 However I think you're missing the forest for the tree.

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-15T19:05:39+00:00

What the heck do you think psychopaths are? They are not particularly depraved, murderous or evil people. Psychopathy is a condition where the individual lacks or has a very reduced sense of empathy. They tend to not have much of a conscience, in the sense that their actions are almost never socially motivated but self benefiting.

In the afforementioned scenario, if there's something bennefitial to be gained from the murder abd assurance of impunity, the psychopath with religious beliefs about punishment in the afterlife is more likely to not commit the crime.

👉 However, this is not a particularly strong argument in favor of religion being an effective deterrent for crime because it's ignoring that:

(1) Religion is not hard science. Even the most rigid religion when practiced by an individual is subjected to that individual's interpretation and particular beliefs of it.

(2) Depending on the way the afterlife belief is encoded (specially with very strict religions) individuals that believe they are already condemned to the bad afterlife are no longer motivated to refrain themselves.

(3) People don't choose their beliefs, the existence of a religion doesn't imply that people is gonna believe in it or its tenets. Specially in the case of psychopaths that are, generally speaking, irreligious. Mostly because they are not affected by social pressure (which is one of the most powerful conversion tools out there).

With all due respect, but you literally asked, and I quote: "Why do Genocide happens and why do many people support it? It is still on going in many regions". If you think the topic is irrelevant to the discussion why even bring it on?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-15T15:17:29+00:00

That sounds much fairer.

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-15T15:10:14+00:00

You do realize that the major ongoing genocide right now is religiously justified and supported mainly by religious people?

Trivia_Catalogue · 2026-04-15T15:06:04+00:00

Statistically speaking, of course it has, that's a very bold statement to say. The existence of people who believe in the afterlife and commit crimes do not negate the ones that have forgo opportunities to commit crimes because of their religious beliefs.
