One thing that i always disliked about monotheism is that you can’t really have discussions about what sky wizard is the best, plus yhjksdhfjkhsdak is fucking hax
you can’t even have them fight other skywizards because the yhwh character is that OP. Except to chariots, because the scynthians raped the proto jews a long time ago and their god couldnt’ save them from that destruction.
where does the intelligence exist? I’d like to say people cannot be this stupid, and this is just predicated to religious individuals…But you see it in politics as well, and with people who replaced religion with more new age post modern ideology. Its even more fucking hilarious now that i’m digging in the christian science section of youtube and I see shit like this
People really are that dumb. The most powerful argument is probably the one that is fashioned in this manner; “I’ll make a statement that you can’t possibly check me on”.
There was this really interesting lecture by this rabbi dude regarding judiaism and other religions where he mentions this. Only to fall prey to his statements regarding religion.
You can lead them to water… but you can’t make them think…
More to come…

Science talks about creationism. Isn’t the Big Bang essentially let there be light…
Yeah, but we don’t assign motivation behind it. It’s just something that happened as far as we can tell.
That’s the difference between science;s explanation of why there is something instead of nothing and religion’s.
:tup:
Here’s what’s interesting… How can ancient civilizations have similar or almost the exact same creation stories and they never encountered one another. Or the pyramid like structures around the world and those civilizations have never encountered each other either…
So now we are going the conspiration theories route?
I’d like to know too (the similarities noticed between various civilizations, despite being separated by great distances)… I’d bet there was some truly bizarre shit going on in the days of the ancient humans. Yeah I’ll admit that I’m hoping the wild theories of the “ancient alien” people turned out to be correct. It would make the history of this species a LOT more interesting, at least to me. It seems sensible enough to me that if the first humans saw such things in the sky, with other people “from the stars” showing up… those would no doubt be passed down the generations as tales of “gods” and “angels”, or even “demons”. That’s what tends to happen, at least in ancient times when were were seeing or experiencing something that is not yet fully understood. The “origin story” of the human race is probably something much more interesting than what we currently know. People wouldn’t believe how often I sit around and think about shit like this.
Notice how humans are far more different than Neanderthals and every other animal in the animal kingdom? How many animals can make computers and cars?
here’s the thing, I can understand the argument that the bible creation story loosely follows some elements as presented by science, and i’ve argued from that point before. The problem is how people look at the bible and then come up with these weird timelines and believe them at face value. Especially when desert religions are based on polytheistic religions or frame a timeline that doesn’t make sense what so ever
…did you fuck up that saying on purpose?
yeah im out this thread
what are you trying to get at?
that because we have the ability to abstract at a much higher level we had to be created? Or are you insinuating the superiority of people who have created empires and civilizations worth anything?

fast forward to 19:30, it makes sense given the final paragraph of genisis 1. an all powerful god would not speak to others as equals
The Lud-Lul- Bel Nameqi
LOFL, the tale of job, written before the jews wrote it…
if there’s a god, at this point all the evidence points that sumerians are the closest to it. LOFL
Religions r dum fite me
But seriously if you have to stretch, distort or reinterpret your particular book of crazy in order to square it up with reality, just don’t bother.
“The Bible is the ultimate source of truth, except for the parts that we disagree with. Those parts are open to interpretation.”
Theists are literally Tumblr OTP shippers.
Okay, time for some dumb viking shit. Keep in mind this is from memory and vikings were all drunken rapists who wrote on rocks because they didn’t understand paper.
- In the beginning, there was fire and ice. The fire melted the ice, as fire tends to do, and out fell a giant called Ymir. Why was he in the ice? Nobody fucking knows. Also, he sweated out more giants for some reason. Then a cow fell out of the ice, because clearly glaciers are where giants and cows come from. Anyway, this cow licked the ice until the first god, Buri fell out. Why the ice didn’t just melt from the fire like it did before and the cow had to lick it, I can’t say. Anyway, there are a bunch of giants and gods who don’t really matter, and eventually Odin and his brothers are born. They kill Ymir and make the world out of his corpse. None of this makes any goddamn sense, especially when you consider the fact that all worlds exist in a giant tree.
- Odin at one point randomly murders a bunch of peasants so he can disguise himself as a wandering farmer looking for work in a complicated gambit to steal magic mead from some giants. This is how poetry was created. No, really. Odin randomly murders an entire farm’s worth of innocent workers so he can steal alcohol that lets you make poetry. Piece of shit.
- At one point a giant tells the gods that if he can build a wall in three seasons, he wants Freyja, goddess of love, as his bride. They agree, thinking it’s obvious bullshit. So the gods want to exploit his good nature and make him build their wall for free. Yes, Trump stole his idea from the Norse gods. Anyway, turns out this giant has a fucking beast-horse who can do the work of hundreds of men, and he’s going to win the bet easily. The gods blame Loki for this. So Loki turns into a mare, lures the giant freak-beast horse into the woods and the gods win the bet by cheating. Also, depending on the story, Loki either gets raped or consents to fucking the horse and gives birth to Sleipnir, Odin’s eight-legged horse. Gender-swap bestiality.
- Speaking of Loki’s fucked up kids, he also fathers a snake so large it crosses the entire world. Consider how this would feel for the poor lady who had to give birth to it, giant vagina or no. Thor had a few run-ins with this Midgard Serpent. One time he tried to fish it out of the water unsuccessfully. Another time a dude challenged Thor to lift a cat, and he failed. Turned out it was the Midgard Serpent in disguise.
- Another of Loki’s children was Fenrir, a huge goddamn wolf. Fenrir’s fucking weird, and not just because his siblings are a fucked up horse and a giant snake, while he’s a wolf for some reason. His size seems to vary wildly, from being just large enough to bite a dude’s hand off to becoming so large he can swallow the moon. Anyway, he’s a bit of a shithead, even by Norse standards. So the gods decide to chain him up with a magic chain made out of the footfalls of cats, women’s beards, mountain roots and the like (explaining why they don’t exist anymore). Except Fenrir doesn’t want to be chained up. So they trick him, but Fenrir demands he get insurance and asks the gods that one of them put their hand in his mouth. Only Tyr, god of war is brave enough to do it. The gods chain Fenrir up and he bites Tyr’s hand clean off.
- At one point Thor was going to beat Loki to death for shaving his wife’s head, so Loki had to get new hair made out of gold for her.
Norse gods were fucking assholes, man!
Good shit, Kecka. Yeah, Norse mythology is fucking awesome and weird.

Ever wonder why the Vatican has this huge vault-library that is considered one of the top most prohibited/secret areas in the world? What the fuck are they keeping in there that they don’t want anybody to know and see? Likewise with Area 51. There is something really deep that they are keeping from us and it should hint that religion and “media-science” are just a bullshit ploy for everyone so that the actual truth is masked from us.
I don’t understood why the world is wasting time debating on if a god exists and who it is when it is so simple to find out.
Why not get Richard Dawkins, The Pope, The Dalai Lami, the top imam khatib, the top Rabbi, the top Shinto Priest, and random cult leaders and just pit them in one of the most haunted areas in the world like the Amityville and lets see who comes out on top? That would show who is right.
Or why not investigate that tomb of the arc of the covenant (i heard it’s in Ethiopia) and just send/force a random convict or some dude on death row to touch it just to see what happens? If he dies then it’s real.
Shit like that is so simple yet the world refuses to do it and just prefers to have people to pay over a bunch of books written by various people thousands of years ago or some random ugly loser nerd SJW’s who just puts the tag “science” or claims to be scientists (regardless of having no credible scientific contributions) on their online blogs or shit novels.
I’m saying that humans are not native to Earth, but who knows…
what about Nostradamus ? he is back in 2017
