For a couple thousand years people have been telling the same stories because they feel that they're really important. Like tons of dudes dedicated their whole lives to transcribing these things. People die for it pretty frequently too. But nooooooooooooooooo it's such a grevious injustice to simply coexist with this stuff, much less to spend an hour of your Sunday, with a huge chunk of your immediate community, listening to these really old stories that connect you with the earliest of written history and tradtion.

Orkin Mang posted:but theyre made up. they didnt happen so why listen. im with stephen fry on this one. we should have atheist 'churches' where everyone goes, we sing maybe some john lennon or listen to a classical number. instead of celebrating the mass, we read the latest discoveries in science to each other and discuss what they mean to us. there are no priests because everyone is equal, right. we might read the bible, but itd be the jefferson bible. we could do this. it's easy if you try. Really what the the hell do atheists talk about? Their entire ideology consists of pretending a major part of their symbolic reality is not worthy of exploring on the premise of it's "not real", yet it moves mountains. Give some credit to the guys, they were only a couple hundred years separated from having to fight off big cats with wooden sticks and stone, and yet they managed to forge communities of tens of thousands of people with these ideas.

Orkin Mang posted:when you show me physical evidence of gods existence then i'll completely change my position and believe in god. that's what scientists do. when their theory is disproved they are HAPPY ABOUT it and they congratulate the person who proved them wrong. ever seen a priest do that? nope, you havent. Haha, scientists can be far more petty assholes than your average priest.

Orkin Mang posted:sorry but thats not how science works. maybe they get angry but its not because of science. give me one example of someone doing something bad and it's because of science. religion, i could name literally thousands; the inquisition, galileo, how the dark ages destroyed everything from rome and greece (destroyed all the science that was just getting going), snopes trial, that hitler was actually CATHOLIC which is why the church was on his side, i mean, need i go on? I don't think Mengele, or unit 731 were experiments for the church. The anit-jew propaganda was nearly entirely couched in scientific rhetoric. How about that guy who starved half of Russia because he really did believe you could grow poo poo in winter, and had the science to prove it even though everyone called bullshit?

Orkin Mang posted:you're forgetting that sort of behaviour is not science, that's the religious emotions coming through The purpose of prayer is to remember you're not god yo, you're someone that makes emotional mistakes. A sin is by definition an action coming from emotional weakness with consequences that are harmful to yourself and the community.
