Comment on What can we do when something is too vast to provide representative examples for?

The whole existence of an abrahamic God is self defeating at its basic premise.
If God is all knowing, all good, and all powerful, then he either designed all of this, including Satan, as some fucked up experiment, or he is not perfect and he messed up somewhere.
There are no other options.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t even know if I have a soul. I’ll probably find out in the next thirty years.
I worry about the capacity for the religious to engage in active critical thinking, something that is necessary for a thriving, functional society but needs to be -at least temporarily- suspended to be religious, but I’m generally not going to debate theists over that point because it’s disrespectful of their beliefs. It’s also completely fruitless and frustrating to engage in debates with someone whose arguments aren’t grounded in observable, testable phenomena. They’ll always “win” because they can make up whatever they want.
Anyhow, we largely leave you alone, please leave us alone too. We’d appreciate it. With that being said, feel free to go in Galilee guns blazing on any atheists who give you shit.
Fuck my soul, tell your psychopathic God I said to fuck off. He doesn’t deserve my soul. Better to burn for eternity than kneel before that monster.
Your choice!

Well I can tell you that you’re debating on vain then. You’re never gonna convince an atheist until you have solid evidence of a higher power. And trust me, you don’t.

What sort of evidence would convince you?
Maalus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Complete and irrefutable evidence that don’t require “faith” to prove it. No “look at the beauty of this world!” type of bullshit, actual miracles being performed, actual omniscient powers, abilty to create, etc.

These are documented in the New Testament.

If I told you that dogs exist and you didn’t believe me, what kind of evidence would you want to see?

But that’s a created thing, not a higher being.
