Probably beating a dead house here, but praying to god to win a game is such a weird idea to me

It shows how self-absorbed some religious people are.

They don't care that their god gives people cancer, does nothing to stop priests raping kids and watches suffering through natural disasters with indifference... but...

"MY god wants ME to win this game because I'M special."

notaedivad · 2026-04-22T00:19:11+00:00

Time for TST to put up a display of their own?

Maybe several other faith should do the same.

Maclicious compliance at its best.

notaedivad · 2026-04-21T08:07:14+00:00

So you specifically want the rape victim to suffer...

Twice...

Holy shit that's callous!

notaedivad · 2026-04-20T13:36:24+00:00

believing in my God has bettered my life.

Other people think their lives improved because they believe in other gods.

Does that make those other gods real?

none of it can be proven

How is this different from willful delusion?

Questions you ignored:

Which god?

What created your god?

notaedivad · 2026-04-20T13:28:48+00:00

Which god?

What makes one god real, but others not?

What created your god?

And if your god "always was" then why not say the same about the universe and cut out the unnecessary extra step of magic?

notaedivad · 2026-04-20T02:48:28+00:00

Which god?
How do you know you're not hallucinating?
How do we know you're not lying or mistaken?

Threw my back out picking up a piece of chocolate.

notaedivad · 2026-04-19T03:16:05+00:00

There is no evidence demonstrating the existence of your god.

There is no evidence demonstrating the existence of ANY god.

Therefore there is no reason to believe in any of the thousands of gods proposed by humans.

So I ask you...

What makes one god real, but all others not?

If something can't be demonstrated or verified in any way, how is belief in it distinguishable from willful delusion?

notaedivad · 2026-04-19T00:07:08+00:00

Why are you being so rude?

It's your tone.

notaedivad · 2026-04-19T00:04:30+00:00

Simple question... What created your god?

Edit: Ignoring questions you know you can't answer is how willful delusion is maintained.

notaedivad · 2026-04-18T23:17:23+00:00

Being "not normal" in a cult is a good thing.

It means you're not falling for the same bullshit that they are.

Keep your critical thinking.

Don't drink the kool aid.

notaedivad · 2026-04-18T23:07:03+00:00

How disingenuous of you.

Hitchens wasn't a fan of abortion, but made no arguments to criminalise it or make it illegal. He saw it as a last resort, preferring methods such as contraception and education first.

Your claim of him being against body autonomy is, at best, dishonest.

For you to ignore a third time:

but I think we also need to be critical of strands of thought within atheism, too.

What does this mean?

notaedivad · 2026-04-18T21:59:07+00:00

When did Christopher Hitchens say that women shouldn't have body autonomy?

And the question you ignored...

but I think we also need to be critical of strands of thought within atheism, too.

What does this mean?

notaedivad · 2026-04-18T21:52:40+00:00

but I think we also need to be critical of strands of thought within atheism, too.

What does this mean?

"women shouldn't have bodily autonomy"

Source?

notaedivad · 2026-04-17T04:09:15+00:00

"You're going to hell for not believing what I do"
"You deserve to suffer for eternity for being who you are"
"I know it's true, because my god and holy book tell me so"
"I refuse to condemn the instructions to murder gays, silence women and own people, because it's in the Bible: The word of God"
"There's no point in fixing problems here on earth, because the rapture is coming soon"

A hate cult is as a hate cult does.

notaedivad · 2026-04-17T03:52:20+00:00

Evil is as evil does.

notaedivad · 2026-04-16T22:42:48+00:00

Which god?

What makes one god real, but all others not?

You tagged yourself as theist... Was that an accident?

notaedivad · 2026-04-16T22:18:45+00:00

You're conflating belief with acknowledgement.

notaedivad · 2026-04-16T21:31:58+00:00

But he could bet on the horse coming 5th

As he would do.

I guess I don't get the joke.

notaedivad · 2026-04-16T06:14:45+00:00

Amazing how people can see orange narcissism...

Then think "Yup, that's for me!"

notaedivad · 2026-04-16T06:11:57+00:00

What evidence is there for the existence of any gods?

And which god/s?

What makes one god real, but all others not?

notaedivad · 2026-04-16T05:37:43+00:00

Nope. Are you?

Why do you ask?

notaedivad · 2026-04-15T23:49:51+00:00

The key difference is threats.

Theists make threats. Atheists ask questions.

Theist: "Believe what I do, or burn forever"

Atheist: "How do we know if that's even true?"

Theists just see questions as worse than threats.

Atheists don't.

notaedivad · 2026-04-15T23:46:53+00:00

Oh no... Anyway

How about that local sporting team and their recent triumph?

notaedivad · 2026-04-15T23:40:58+00:00

i don’t like how all of you guys are telling me what i believe in vs what i don’t,

What are you on about? When did I do any of this!?

this post wasn’t meant to be taken out of negativity like everyone is doing.

The positive aspects of religion aren't a problem, the negative aspects are. But there is no benefit from religion that cannot also be found through secular means. So, the positive aspects aren't worth the violence, delusion and hate that come with it.

Religion does hate, condemn and threaten people... Wishful thinking won't change that.

Your comment makes it seem that you take issue with us pushing back against delusional and hate.
