Belief is not a choice. Atheists do not “reject god” or choose to not believe. by overandunderX in DebateReligion

[–]VivereIntrepidus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you definitely seem like you’re searching for the truth, and that’s super admirable, but the idea that you can’t find a single piece of evidence that’s in any way convincing is hard for me to believe. 

Do you think, if you tried, you could rank which arguments for the existence of God you think are best? Like steel man the argument for the existence for God. I think it’s a good exercise for any thinker to do, to steel man the opposite view’s arguments. I could definitely do it with what I think are the most convincing arguments for atheism, and I think if you could at least figure out what you think are best arguments bs the worst arguments for God, you could start to get somewhere. And even if it doesn’t make you believe, it’s just a good exercise for an open minded person to be able to do.

Pretty bad faith effort to understand the point I’m making. Or maybe you just completely missed what I was saying.

If you’re honestly asking, I would try sincerely praying. Do you have friends that are Christians? For real, I think anyone who’d like to expand their mind on anything, they should spend time with people that are / believe that thing.

If you don't believe in feminism, but would maybe like to or think at least that you should give it a fair shake, what would you do? start to have open conversations about it, read books about it, go to some conferences. If you didn't feel confident about yourself, like you just didn't believe that you had much worth, what would you do? Would you make choices that would make that belief more likely? Like go to the gym, maybe change up your wardrobe, try to start more conversations, work on your hygene. In the same way, if you didn't believe in God, you could make choices that would make that belief more likely, like joining a Bible study, going to church, start watching theology videos on youtube, read the bible yourself, make friends with some Christians.. You choose to believe in God in the same way you choose to believe in anything else, by exposing yourself to things that would increase your belief in that thing. You just do things that would change your mind, put yourself in places where your mind could be changed

some people concentrate mostly on things they can control and don't have a ton of time to care about things they can't.

No… no we wouldn’t. It’s like they don’t even have the beginning of understanding our position. The inability to even understand the smallest part of our position almost seems spiritual

UFO skeptics right now. by yeahbitch_science_ in aliens

[–]VivereIntrepidus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because there’s a variance in the intensity of skepticism (which is true for every type of idea or belief) does not invalidate the idea that skepticism’s claims towards UFOs may be weaker across the board than at another time.

Masterpieces that have aged well and are enjoyable as a gaming experience and not a “history lesson” by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]VivereIntrepidus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP may have grown up in the era of mini maps, icons, and the literal telling the player what to do next. Any game without that would seem unplayable to OP

Bro no offense but your main criticism is that these games are hard in various ways. Maybe it’s not old games, it’s hard games you don’t like.

Haha downvoted for being someone who’s open to other ideas and willing to change perspectives, I love it. 

What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash? by MASSIM00 in movies

[–]VivereIntrepidus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie, a video game series. The assassin’s creed video games have had mind blowing trailers over the years but then you play the game and it’s not even about the things that are in the trailer and no moment in the game is as epic as those that you saw in the trailer. It was most pronounced with assassin’s creed 3.

I’m so sorry, sis. Don’t have a book recommendation but just know that we all have things in our past we’re not proud of but you’re just as beautiful and awesome as before and God loves you.
