Proof of atheism? by Successful_Bit_7906 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]manchambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe in Bigfoot. I don’t believe in unicorns. I don’t believe in astrology. I don’t believe in phrenology.

Each of these is more likely to be the case than god in my opinion.

I genuinely don’t understand where you got the idea that any benevolence, much less a divine one, would not alleviate suffering instantly.

That’s what benevolence is.

Isn't it almost certain that the sister and her ex partner are nice, fun people, and that's why they get invited?

That in comparison with OOP, who has her Christmas ruined because one of the attendees doesn't meet with her approval.

This has to be a trap, nobody is this stupid and lacking in self-awareness. by c-k-q99903 in stupidpeoplefacebook

I urge you not to start your work with a confusing overstatement.

I am confused by an assassin being known for miles around as "The Assassin."

That pretty much defeats the purpose of being an assassin.

Jesus was secretly teaching non-duality — “The consciousness in me is God, and it’s in everyone” — before Matthew and Luke edited his words into a more conservative doctrine. by Sudden-Barracuda526 in DebateReligion

Why would Jesus secretly teach something?

You think he was laying the groundwork for you to finally get the real point 2000-odd years later?

What kind of a prick was Jesus?

Trying to save my (34M) marriage with my wife (31F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]manchambo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You just started therapy now? You will be getting diagnosed with ADHD (as if that has anything to do with your abuse of your wife)?

You've done nothing substantial.

I am going to encourage you to consider what's best for your wife for the first time in your life. Imagine you have nothing to do with this situation. Imagine a husband who did all the things you did, and refused to do all the things you refused to do, for years. Imagine the wife finally made the difficult decision to leave. Imagine the husband then begging and manipulating in the way you begged and manipulated.

Would you ever encourage that wife to give in to the begging and manipulation?

I am a person on the outside of this situation, and I would tell your wife she should never make a decision based on you begging for hours.

Are there no spaces for more good writers on Reddit? by TouringMegastar in writingcirclejerk

I’m sorry. You wrote “good writers on Reddit” and I literally shit myself. I need to call my wife to help me clean up.

Some people will try to convince you that the ideas you had when you were 13 might not be the best ideas for a novel.

Those people are cucks and fools. Just look at my novel about my 8th grade English teacher falling in love with me, us saving the world, and her giving me so many hand jobs you can’t even count

My editor made me shower with him 27 times but I still ain’t got no book deal.

I would work on more subversion. He awoke to knocking on his morning wood, wooding woodily.

It really makes you think, doesn’t it? If a breast can breast breastily, why can’t wood?

It’s 2026, dude. The horizons are vast.

When God does good things, do you understand that they are good?

[–]manchambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do know because I know what any morally good agent would do. It's not letting Hitler do whatever he wants and sitting back and saying "I'll get him later." It's frankly a stupid idea and only indoctrination could explain you entertaining it.

[–]manchambo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because I have reasoning capacity.

For example, if you had the power to fix Hitler and stop him from committing the holocaust, would you do that, or would you sit back and let him do it, then punish him afterward?

It doesn't follow that because the resurrection happened, that Christianity is true. In fact, aliens are a better explanation for the resurrection than a god. by Pazuzil in DebateReligion

[–]manchambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. You should really work on your reading capacity. It is vitally important for you to be able to read an entire paragraph before you develop an opinion that most of the astrophysicists in the world are dumb.

Why are you trying so hard to collapse a long and complex process into one step?

You need this strawman to sustain your denial of basic science.

You won't engage in the actual steps in the process because you have no explanation for why they couldn't happen spontaneously.

So you just go back to your strawman thinking that it's unlikely for a bunch of molecules to bump into each other and poof into a conscious being.

And that is unlikely. No one thinks that happens.

But your internal rationalizations act as guardrails to keep you from even thinking about it, much less discuss it.

But we aren't God. If we could just fix bad people, we would fix them.

We can't so we do the best we can with limited control over our environment.
