god has a personality, in fact he is three persons in one (!), we are made in his image.

Sometimes I think to myself that the way everything works is so harmonious it can't be a coincidence, but then I also think that if there is a god he made parasites and wtf is up with that so I still don't believe in him

hypostasis doesnt really mean what we mean by person though if by that u mean something with an ego and a personality. your catholicism is weak.

I'm always surprised by how core to America God is. Like religion and god is in everything in america it seems. You can even see in the movies and the morals, everything is so related to the bible and Christianity. A lot of the time when someone makes a reference to something or a comparison its to something in the bible. It surprises me because I think Europe really has strayed far from that. We know about stuff that happened in the bible but its not even on the horizon in most people's lives. It doesn't even feature remotely.

one might say europe is drifting into a desert of godlessness.

wake up europe! reclaim your history!

the story of history is people abandoning dumb stuff for better stuff, for example, the fall of religion

any decent scientist that studies the universe will probably believe in some kind of higher force that dumbshit religious folk will refer to as a god but really the poo poo that sagan and einstein et al believe in is so far from the typical person's concept of "god" that you can't really call them the same thing.

one is like hmm yes there must be many things and forces in this universe that we can't comprehend, but there is a certain beauty to it all that we can enjoy and attempt to understand. that we are able to experience it at all means that we are in a way blessed.

the other one is like oh yeah if you gently caress another dude or smoke weed or don't say the right things before dinner you're gonna burn in a fire for all eternity because some old man in the sky says so. gently caress you I'm better than you, I'm blessed and you're a fag

One thing that has gotten dumb is that in ancient times people just adopted new culture's gods. like you travel across the sea and bump in to the assyrians, oh marduk sounds a bit like ra they must be the same dude high five. Now it's all like "my jehovah is the real god not your allah" and then shoot rockets at each other's kids.

Just think: in former times, people would make pilgrimages to see the medieval equivalent of jesus-in-toast, something that is (rightfully) derided today.

God is real. The big bang was probably when he turned on the God Computer. That's why we can't figure out what caused it.

define god

god as synonymous for the universe/nature/physics = real
god as whatever brain function/thought process = real
god as your grandparents = real
god as living organisms being existence's self-perception = real
god, the character from religious texts = only exists in fiction
