It's true, I can't handle the idea of a God that is supposedly perfect and all knowing and "loves us all" and yet acts like a dick by creating a ridiculous "test life" where he creates imperfect people, damns them for their imperfections, and then has the stones to say "just do these things or I'll PUNISH YOU FOREVER, out of love."

*honor
[–]redkey42 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
I'm Australian, 'honour' is the correct spelling.
[–]TheBlueGhost 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Brits use 'honour' too.
[–]No1Complainer 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Not only the fact that God demands worship more than compassion, but when things go sour with a "sinner" it's not God that's doing the dirty work, but fellow human beings.
"Hey you guys, can you stone this woman for not being a virgin, my omnipotent-self is busy with other things at the moment, thanks."
Though, what's the point of stoning people to death, if Hell is supposed to be the ultimate punishment. Isn't being stoned to death a walk in the park compared to Hell? Might as well just chop their heads of, be quick with it, use less man-hours, and get them to Hell quicker.

So we've checked off yaweh. Do you have any other deities to object to?
[–]throwaway123454321 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
I'm actually quite fond of Dionysus
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I can't handle the idea either. If there really is a magical god who put us here on this rock with all of our ridiculous limitations and war mongering and seriously limited intelligences, and life is a test to see if I play along and get picked for eternal paradise in His Royal Asshole then fuck it, I'm already in hell.
[–]biodrones 19 points20 points21 points 5 months ago
I guess they didn't realize that the right side of the picture shows God existing inside a brain.
[–]mrscamp -7 points-6 points-5 points 5 months ago
Brain? Do you mean the cloth full of people?
[–]mtldude1967 11 points12 points13 points 5 months ago
I think he means this.
[–]mrscamp -11 points-10 points-9 points 5 months ago
Lol, seems legit
[–]Flynn58 13 points14 points15 points 5 months ago
Makes sense. God in the brain = god is a creation of our brains/imagination. Michelangelo was therefore a closet atheist, and you have just been mindfucked.
[–]JakeCameraAction 14 points15 points16 points 5 months ago
Not to mention that Michelangelo took part in illegal autopsies and saw the inner workings of man including the dissection of the human brain.
[–]bapzannigan 5 points6 points7 points 5 months ago
Michelangelo was about as close to being an outright atheist as you could be at the time.
[–]mrscamp 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
....ew.
[–]Flynn58 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
And that is explained by the fact that as god is everywhere according to christianity, his penis is in your brain, and you have been literally mindfucked.
[–]rajb1037 31 points32 points33 points 5 months ago
Yes, atheism is a consoling delusion. Just like air is a comforting crutch.

It still blows me away that all these people can act like that when they have never seen a god of any kind. Never seen a miracle (something that breaks the laws of reality, not seeing your name in the clouds). Never seen their prophets. The only prophecies that seem like they came true are all in the same book the prophecies came from... Yet WE are the ones that can't handle the truth...
[–]oboedude -17 points-16 points-15 points 5 months ago
I guess I'll say it. I'm a Christian and you don't know the truth.
[–]Olipyr 9 points10 points11 points 5 months ago
The truth? You can't handle the truth!
Sincerely,
this atheist
[–]oboedude -6 points-5 points-4 points 5 months ago
Then what is the truth? I'm not asking for an answer of what the truth is not (like saying God is not real is the truth), but rather what the truth really is.
[–]Olipyr 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
I have neither the time or the inclination to explain myself...
Do you see how unappealing it is to listen to atheists when instead of "here's the truth", all we get from you is "hey you're foolish and dumb". If you're really set on "exterminating religion" then give everyone something too look at, rather than attacking what they do know.
[–]Agent-A 15 points16 points17 points 5 months ago
The truth is that one can not prove God does not exist, but the truth is also that any God worshipped today is not the first God to be worshipped. The truth is that every God ever worshipped has been used to explain the unexplainable, and as we discovered explanations, those Gods fell from favor. The truth is that the Christian Bible tells stories of a sexist, jealous, wrathful God, full of rage at his own creations (after all, even the Devil was one of his creations) who, like a child, throws repeated temper tantrums to get his way. The truth is that the God of the Bible is supposedly the same as the God of the Torrah and of the Koran, and yet different, thus calling them all into question. The truth is that no living person knows what happens after death, or if a soul exists. The truth is that these questions are irrelevant: We know life exists and we know all things must die, so why spend so much time obsessed with the end? The truth is that all Gods and superstitious beliefs are used by some people to promote hate and intolerance, and subscribing to any of those beliefs constitutes implicit permission for those acts.
The truth is that.. the truth is too complicated and long for a post on the Internet. My journey began around 12 years ago. Eradicating religion is too large a goal for any group, my only goals are to set people on a journey of self-discovery and to condemn bigotry and hatred in all its forms, whether promoted by religion or other superstitions or beliefs.
[–]MVolta 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Very well stated. Consider this upvote from me less like a click and more like a firm handshake of sincere appreciation
[–]drunes 5 points6 points7 points 5 months ago
and your religion still has no proof. your entire religion is based on faith. faith.
do you know what faith is?
it is to blindly accept something is true without any evidence whatsoever. Why do you think they tell you to have faith?? Because if you were to actually go out, look around, and try to FIND proof.. YOU WOULDNT!
that is why they tell you to have faith. So please, when you tell us we don't know the truth... please be aware that no one does, you dont, I dont, and anyone who claims they do is either severely delusional.. or mad.. or just plain lying to themselves.
Why must you supplement this unknown with an uncertain answer such as god?
[–]bawlin_again 3 points4 points5 points 5 months ago
Let's be honest, you were trolling.
[–]oboedude 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
my point exactly^
[–]EricRohan 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I have seen what was advertised as the truth. Former christian here. If you consider yourself intellectually honest you would retract your statement.
[–]oboedude -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
I have seen what was advertised as the truth
What a man tells you the truth is not necessarily truth. the bible in it's entirety is the truth. not just a bunch of summaries and passages taken out of context.
No the bible in it's entirety is BS. The advertised truth is what you are peddling right now. You are simply too lost in your own comfy delusion to see the truth for what it is.
lost in your own comfy delusion
mind if i ask what you think that is?
[–]EricRohan 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
That the bible is the infalible word of god. Pay attention!!!
Do you honestly think it was a lack of scripture and understanding that caused me to leave the faith? Quite the opposite.
[–]question-sleep 9 points10 points11 points 5 months ago
They're just getting to the "I know you are, but what am I?" stage of their argument.
[–]Long_Forgotten_Son 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
I usually don't say anything about people's religious posts on my FB. Although I have deleted somebody because they posted some religious related topic about a dozen times a day and it was profoundly annoying.
But I don't think I would have been able to resist this one.
[–]knighmare 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
They seem to be doing a lot of re-purposing of atheist phrases/memes what have you, lately
[–]justdan 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
It's so much more difficult to attribute everything to god. I wish I wasn't taking the easy way out and using critical thinking aided by scientific research to explain the world around me. If only I had the strength answer difficult questions by shrugging my shoulders, tilting my head, raising my eyebrows, and replying "that's god's will"
[–]No1Complainer 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Answers to absolutely everything, there's an actual purpose to your existance, AND you get to live forever in paradise?!?!?!
Yes Morpheus, I'll take the blue pill.
[–]Quantumfizzix 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
At first I was like, "But we have the same argument about christianity..."
Then I was all "Oh, right, we have proof."
[–]AFewSecondsAgoDouche 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago

Another idea stolen from the atheists! Holy crap, that's just what the xians are full of!!!!
[–]fairwayks 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Photo of God touching a man's finger on chapel ceiling = proof God exists. LOL, THAT, Drazhi!
[–]GeneralStreck 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
My bet is that the image was made by a level 99 troll master and he got them good.
[–]GodsPenisHasGravity 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I would say religion is a consoling delusion for people who can't handle the idea that there is no god.
[–]thechapattack 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I have actually had this conversation plenty with some believers, they seem to think that I would rather believe there is no afterlife and in non-existence. They can't understand that I would much rather believe there is a God and that I will live on in some fashion and I would see my family and friends after I die, but the evidence simply doesnt support that.
[–]roganaiyooo 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I just threw up on my keyboard, ate it, and then threw it up again. Literally.
Well, not literally. But that's what it fucking felt like.
[–]ManicOppressive -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
... Wut.
[–]georonymus -6 points-5 points-4 points 5 months ago
In fairness, that is the same argument atheists use against theists, with equal amounts of evidence.
[–]Godssheep 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Which part of atheism is a delusion?
