    Just because you weren’t intellectually and/or emotionally competent enough to believe in the Creator doesn’t mean you didn’t act right and that He’d just disregard you. And certainly many of these hypocrites will taste Hell before righteous “nonbelievers”. 👍

      I always find it funny when believers think they have to be intellectually/emotionally more mature than non-believers when non-believers don’t need a spiritual crutch to get through life.

      You’re welcome to believe in a creator if that helps you get through the day, but don’t pretend you’re a better person because you believe in a god. Pretending it makes you more intellectually or emotionally competent actually tells people the opposite of what you think it does.

          Everyone’s comes from within, cause there are no amount of words that would suddenly change human nature. The books just delineate and expand on basic, natural human morality. 👍

            I’m going to assume you’ve never had a real conversation with (m)any Christians about this. Because plenty will end up telling you their morality is external, rather than internal.

            You have no idea how many times I’ve had this conversation and basically been told that they have no concept of where my morals would come from, because theirs comes from the Bible. I’ve even had conversations where Christians make comments about the shit they want to do but can’t because of their religious morality or gone out of their way to try to justify their actions in her eyes of their god. Their morality isn’t internal to them and their core beliefs, it’s an external pressure to behave properly for their religion/congregation.

        Oh no, trust me, I’ve walked both paths! But I know what’s my audience here so I won’t even complain about the reactions, lol.

          If every religious person was like you we wouldn’t have so many problems in the world. You are right, you choice is your and mine is mine. We don’t try to change each other mind and are respectful of the others choice. 10/10 wishing everyone acted like that

      That’s hilarious.

      It takes intellectual competence to believe in magic?

      The best argument I’ve ever heard for any god is “you can’t prove it didn’t happen this way.”

      But I’m sure you have better than that, right?

      doesn’t mean He’d just disregard you

      It’s said many times both in the Old and the New testaments that whoever doesn’t believe, is totally fucked for eternity. Read your own main book.
