Evolution of God 

😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😅😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🎉

You know believers taught that life here in earth is nothing you have to prepare for the forever afterlife so they don't really care about what mess and disaster they made in this earth as they won't live here forever but their offspring will suffer. Is just funny well glad i am not but yeah looking at the world now people destroy the nature to get temporary satisfaction and it will never be attained as happiness can't present without willing to acknowledge the suffering.

Bang on the money. I like to think that god kills our penchant for marvelling at the natural world - that wonderful line in Jurassic Park "Life finds a way" can be emasculated by the notion "oh yeah. God did that. Isn't he clever?"

That’s not right for that priest to do that…and if you are apart of a church that does something like that, leave that church and find a new one…this experience is not a good reason not to believe in God and don’t have that experience as to think this is what Christians really are because that priest is not a good example and steward of God’s Word

@@cameronvandevelde4186 Gods “word” was written by man. Fallible, biased man.

@@cameronvandevelde4186 A wise deity would not allow mere fallible humans to speak for it. It would speak for itself, clearly and overtly.

@@cameronvandevelde4186 The not a real priest fallacy 🤣

I remember as a child asking questions and I remember seeing the Sunday school teacher struggling with the answers. Like he had never been asked or had thought about it. At the time I didn't have words for the confusion I felt, how Am I, A 7 year old asking a man who must have been 40ish and stumping him? Grew up in Utah they have seminary in high school, I was 15 skipped once to go get a candy bar. The teacher threw me up against wall and screamed in my face about it. It was a total over reaction I knew I was done. Just played nice until I was 18 then I was outta that shit.

Eric Taylor Agreed. God actually admits to this behavior in the bible. He hardens Pharaoh's heart so he can show off his magic powers of controlling nature. In fact he sent the Israelites into Egypt in the first place so he could later boast about rescuing them!

Eric Taylor 😂

It’s called Munchausen-By-Proxy.

The god of the bible does like to swing his dick around doesn't he. Such very human emotions for a deity. One could almost imagine it was merely invented by other more primitive and superstitious human beings. How thinking adults can manage to convince themselves of such nonsense is always a surprise to me.

" In other words, God hurt their dog because he wanted to show off. It's like the guy who sets fire to a school so he can be seen as a hero who rescued the children." Or the guy that unleashes the giant bowling ball shaped robot to destroy the city so he can come in with the wrist-mounted disabling device to con people into thinking he's a hero, but was only stopped at the last minute by The Incredibles.

David Lucas Christians pray to an omniscient/omnipotent deity who knew the outcome from before the beginning, accepts no responsibility for his actions, yet punishes unrepentant sinners for what he knew they would do...as he set everything into motion. Yeah...it's all a joke. : )

Cant make an omelette with breaking some eggs

That's a great analogy, now I'm hungry.

I think you mean by using false scientific principles (or theories) we can make up and lie about anything but yet prove nothing like the big bang theory .....in 1974 Mr Billy Preston wrote a song that should explain that easy....Nothing from Nothing leaves Nothing you gotta have something......etc.

You know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about whether it be the your incorrect use of the word theory or purposely taking a quote out of context to try to prove your "nothing begets nothing" point. And even if scientists eventually discover a better model than the big bang, it does not mean the only other option is that your magical sky fairy did it. You're a sad little ape who has deluded himself and been deluded by others that a magic man that you can't see made you in his image and has a greater purpose for you. That's the epitome of arrogance if you ask me.

Muzaffar, prove it. What's holding me together are fundamental forces of nature that exist without intelligence (mainly strong and electo-weak forces). But if what you wrote is true, then your god is responsible for immense pain and suffering. So there's no way you can defend that he "loves" us. In fact, the bible descries the most evil and incompetent being ever recorded.

Muzaffar Krylov- What's funny about that is, Brian the King of the Leprechaun's power holds you together as you laugh at Him. He loves you that much and He knows exactly what you're going through at every single moment of your life. He has counted every hair on your head and He knew you before the foundations of this Earth was created. My friend, try to remember who you are.... Better or worse?

So he knew PEOPLE before they were born, but didn't know many of their QUESTIONS and views of contradictions enough to give a public answer? Without major, ambiguous cross-referencing to verses?

Yes, we’re incredibly fortunate to have people like Aron amongst us on this earth, we’d probably still be stuck in the Middle Ages without them. We must all aspire to be more like them and try to do for others what they’ve done for us, expanded our minds in the most beautiful and liberating ways, showing us how to destroy the shackles of indoctrination.

Sure, but sometimes he is also a man of Delusions, like when he pulls out of his butt that Jews think or thought that God has a physical body xD This contradicts every Jewish history/jewish philosophy scholar that ever existed in history. And he bases this kind of outrageous claim on his inability to read a text like the Bible in context and with knowledge of the culture from which it stems.

@@kevspeedruns9947 I wonder why God then walks in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day. How does he walk if he has no physical legs and a corporeal body that is pulled to Earth by gravity such that he can walk? And why would he choose to walk in the cool of the day, the most refreshing time for flesh-and-blood people to walk because they have bodies that enjoy the feeling of coolness after a warm Middle East day? How can God smell pleasing aromas of sacrifices if he has no body? How does he speak to Adam, Abraham, Noah and Samuel if he has no vocal cords? Each of those depictions in the OT can only be understood if you accept the fact that the Jews thought God had a body.

@Event Horizon We haven't seen a being of any nature or supernatural element, nor observed one in a seperate dimension, so my vote is they completely, and utterly do not exist. I doubt these beings could withstand the consequences of not existing in time, either.

Bruce Geddings who are you talking to

Yes, its the typical religious response, when something good happens its "thank god!", and when something bad happens "it was god's plan, and we can't know god's reasons". Its absurd, but people are so programmed with this type of rationale that they don't question it.

true.... to be honest , ther god if it was real it wouldet even need to do any big things when you think about it having empirical results from praying over food if you worshiped it would make more converts then anything else...be it people just wanting to avoid food poisoning , or eat extra bacon burgers to ther hearts content without getting weight.

@Robert Sallow but if we're speaking just about the West, it certainly is the most obsessive. most of Europe does not have this problem, massive churches that used to be full are empty. People like PJ Watson lament this, but it's just the natural progression of society.

@THEANSWER Right, praying before the meal is to thank god for food and everything else. Yet people die of starvation. I think god just doesn't love those people. He loves only those that pray to him, but he might still let them starve. In other words, prayer and god are both useless. And if he really throws people in hell for not believing, I will refuse to believe in principle, because I won't be bullied by a cosmic psychopath or anyone else. Only a real weakling, with no sef-worth, bows to psychopathic abusers.

Yes I’m from Central America they be trying to pour religion anywhere they can

I personally would ask them to try to convert me and point out all the problems when they bring it up, as respectfully as possible of course. Try to get them to think about the topic as much as possible.

good one :) planning to use it in the future

@Urrcreavesh No, it's WAY worse. The Templeton Foundation, a theistic research organization (no, really) actually did research the effects of prayer. And, credit where credit is due, they did actually go for the scientific approach. They selected a number of (christian) people who (IIRC) got a coronary bypass operation and divided them in three groups. The first group was prayed for and was informed that they were prayed for. The second received prayers but wasn't informed about it. And finally they had a control group that got no prayers for them. If there was any merit to praying this would probably be a little bit unethical, but hey. Also, they didn't just have anyone praying, they hired professionals. Nuns and priests of the relevant christian flavors (fitting the patient) were tasked with praying for the specific patients. The patients who got prayers and weren't informed and the control group showed about the same amount of complications. So far, no surprise. The surprise was that the group that got prayed for and was informed about it had a statistically significant HIGHER amount of complications, probably due to the additional stress these patients received from thinking that their situation must be dire if there's already priests and nuns praying for their survival. So please, DO NOT pray for me. Do you want to kill me?

@ Event Horizon That is true. I personally am a buddhist with deist leanings but I admit there is no scientific evidence for the existence of god so it is a personal belief that I hold rather than any objective truth. Evolution, on the other hand, has multiple branches of science confirming its existence and occurrence.

Erick Lopes Maybe they noticed the fish popping in and out of water.

Maybe but shellfish doesn't pop out of water, and it's not like they didn't know shellfish, or didn't know they were living things. Many passages in the old testament forbid shellfish consumption. Maybe this is why they despised shellfish, they didn't have the breath of life. It's important that we understand this before a fundamentalist brings it up calling bs on our understanding of their myths.

I questioned God back in the day...but then I decided to humble myself and ask HIM for answers not other people. People don't have all the answers, people are misled.

Mark Dichter The story of Lot's wife originates in the extremely high salt content of the Dead Sea (the lake on whose shores Sodom was located). As the water evaporates it leaves strangely shaped salt deposits on its shores - some of which resemble human figures. To me that's the most likely origin of legend of a person turning into salt in this particular location. I've been to the shores of the Dead Sea and the tour guides routinely point out salt deposits that could be "Lot's wife." I agree about the Santorini volcanic eruption possibly inspiring some bible stories. For example, the dust could have turned the Nile red and led to the story of it "turning into blood."

I agree with you as I too have been to the dead sea. The blood nile could have also been cause by a red algae bloom which would kill the fish and cause some of the other plagues.

Santorini may have been two centuries before Moses though, but ideas do get passed around.

I watched an interesting documentary about the Ten Plagues of Egypt, the whole idea was that instead of being supernatural miracles, they were scientifically explainable natural phenomena, caused by a massive environmental disaster: A colossal volcanic eruption near Greece and Italy (I forget the volcano's name by Mark Dichter might well be talking about the same one) which spewed clouds of ash and dust that covered vast areas of land, including Egypt. This effects of this event were purported to last over a period of 3 years or so (give or take) The river of blood would not have been blood, but the volcanic dust dissolved in the water, giving it a red colouration. The dead fish would be the result of the water now being polluted with toxic ash. The frogs would be forced out of the water, unable to tolerate the conditions in the river. They would be unable to return and eventually dry out and die. The flies and other insects would be attracted by the dead frogs and fish. Insect populations would soar, unchecked by the now dead frogs. The dead fish and frogs would start to putrefy under the heat and rot, flies would carry the disease, which would spread to the livestock (There are flies in Egypt that can spread disease through biting animals). Those cattle spared by disease would die from dehydration, unable to drink the toxic water. Now the boils could be put down to disease, but here is where it gets interesting, according to the documentary, there are medical records of Egyptian people being treated for painful boils with a collection of different ingredients mixed together to form an alkaline paste. In addition, the records contain reports that the Egyptians started suffering from these boils soon after contact with riverwater. Finally, along with dust, volcanoes eject vast amounts of gases into the atmosphere, including hydrogen sulphide, which can dissolve in water to form sulphuric acid. A conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the waters of the Nile were acidified, the boils may in fact have been chemical burns. The thunder and hail storms can be easily explained. You have a massive volcanic eruption spewing out massive amounts of ash, that is going to have a persistent knock on effect on the environment, resulting in inclement weather including rain, lightning and thunder. Locusts can be attracted by changes in weather, their eggs can remain dormant and hatch under the right conditions. The inclement weather brought about by the volcanic eruption may serve as a catalyst for the arrival of locusts. 3 days of darkness is also easily explained, a thick, expansive volcanic ash cloud will block out the sun. Even ordinary clouds can do that. The firstborns death, while perplexing, isn't an enigma. First, bear in mind that the locusts would naturally swarm and devour the Egyptian's crops en masse. In order to stave off famine, the people would have to resort to grain stores instead. One hypothesis is that the grain was contaminated with ergot, which is more likely to grow at the onset of spring or in periods of rainfall. Crops that were harvested during the rainy periods would have been more likely to have greater concentrations of ergot fungus. Second, it is important to understand at this point that in Egyptian culture, the first-born son is paramount. In a famine type situation, the first-born would get priority access to the food stores, other family members would get scraps or nothing. Thus, it would be mainly the firstborns eating ergot-ridden food. Thirdly, ergot poisoning will fuck you up something fierce. Symptoms varied, but included: - fever - nausea and vomiting - hallucinations and irrational behaviours - muscle spasms, tremors, convulsions and seizures - muscular enfeeblement, restricted blood flow due to severe vasoconstriction, possibly leading to gangrene. - unconsciousness and death If it didn't kill you, you may wish it had. Though many of the firstborn children would be killed by this, not all would actually die. Some may have survived the ordeal as ergot poisoning is not invariably fatal. Others may not have eaten contaminated food, as it wouldn't all be infected. At this point, the standard, age-old human storytelling devices come into play. Embellishment, exaggeration, fabrication etc. 'Many of the firstborns' would progress to 'Most of the firstborns' then, with enough time & retelling, 'All of the firstborns'. I may have misremembered some details, or not explained it as well as I could have done, but all in all, I found that documentary gave an interesting and rational explanation of how these events could feasibly have taken place.

I can understand people wanting to find comfort in the face of such tragedy. I don't believe their baby went to Heaven, but I believe when such things happen, we all have an important lesson to learn from it. No matter how bad things get, each of us is lucky to be able to experience life and make it as far as we do. In the grand scheme of the universe, we'll all pretty much be right behind that baby in giving up our lives to make room for the next lives.

What goes around may come around...

Dustin Furness in a nutshell : agency detection led humans to see motivated agency everywhere. This is called "agenticity". Agenticity led to animism, which evolved eventually to polytheism and henotheism and then the universe itself was given agency and evolved into modern monotheism, where God is the ultimate agent. :)

munstrumridcully and then some people gave up on the interactive gods and held onto deist gods, mathematical higher power, and godless supernatural idea. Some people got this close to reality without putting the pretend away completely while the most irrational insist on an interactive god perhaps with a dying and rising god man. And apparently some are so devoutly certain of bullshit being true that they'll insist the Earth is flat... I actually had a one sided conversation with a flat earther... "how can you say that, your wrong, and just stop it" were her responses spelled and punctuated the same. Even when I told her maybe I'm wrong, show me the truth, she just said "wow, why don't you delete your account" .... emotions over intelligence ... ignorance is bliss and I guess that's the motto they live by

Dustin Furness indeed, emotions over reason. I hate it, but understand that it fits with how humans are wired psychologically. We seek security and comfort over reality...

munstrumridcully Exactly! Humans fear death and the unknown. I understand why we turn to these things because it brings us comfort. We want to know that death is only temporary and that we’ll see our loved ones. But that’s why it’s so important to treasure these things now because life is short.
