How do people trust and believe in religion?

Are you saying it wasnt?

Who tf knows we weren’t there back then. Most likely those tales were just some ancestor’s weird ass experience being passed down to their descendants

 

[Lyndon]

Interesting, thanks for writing this all out

Yeah np, what I’m trying to say is that belief in God, and what follows from it, has more grounding than one might initially think, and that belief in Him has a fairly strong basis in reason and viceversa

 

[subtierjester]

Yeah that “something” was God

Well what if i say it wasnt god and it was just like that

 

[khazarianmafia73]

Well what if i say it wasnt god and it was just like that

so you’re saying there was nothing and then it made it something?

 

[subtierjester]

so you’re saying there was nothing and then it made it something?

No, i said there was always something

 

[khazarianmafia73]

No, i said there was always something

ok so that eternal something gave rise to everything else?

 

[subtierjester]

Im saying something was there and throught time everything else formed

 

[khazarianmafia73]

Im saying something was there and throught time everything else formed

what did everything else form out of

 

[subtierjester]

what did everything else form out of

That something, if i knew what it was we wouldnt be arguing about it

 

[khazarianmafia73]

So is that something eternal and able to form other things?
If yes = that’s a god
If no = then it must’ve been created by something else

Why would it have to be created, youre just repeating that something was created and im telling you what if it wasnt. I also didnt say that “something” formed everything else i said that everything else was formed from “something”, like evolution

[im_grey_be_patient]

say it like you are talking to someone/yourself, doesnt have to be anything ritualistic
