Not as something we have access to but yeah!
No I'm with you, as a french speaker, it's also hard to get the joke for some reason.
Thomas! Nooooooooo!
We must never forget how much it matters to understand that the war is against the Russian government and that us and the Russian people are the victims of that government.
If you say so...
I can't refute what hasn't been proven...
I know all the arguments, probably better than you know them yourself. I was curious, investigated, saw nothing there that wasn't obviously wishful thinking.
I have no interest in deconverting anyone, just to make sure we aren't mischaracterised by the faithful (which we are all the time).
God is a subject. Is he good? If so, how would you know?
Morality is an evolved trait they also can find in other apes on a different scale.
Isn't sin by definition offence against a God? The way I understand it christians see God as the ultimate authority. Like a father to a son. It makes sense given the fact that we are raised in an authocratic environment. I guess my point is when someone doesn't believe in the concept of God, good and evil as an authority is nonsensical. Eutyphro dillema and all that.
If you want to understand an atheist then you need to understand this first. If you mostly care for the carrot and sticks of your particular religion then I understand why you aren't motivated towards having a productive conversation.
All God that is defeatable on the mind of a believer is a strawman God, as for it being the God of Christianity^TM well that's a whole other can of worm.
A lot of what I'm talking about gets lost in translation and the way you equate sin with evil shows how we need a better way of communicating than church words if we want to have a better conversation.
I guess the best way to present it is that if you think the Christian God is a good God then he's not showing it in the reality we can experience.
I agree, I usually keep to myself but I sort of hoped lemmy could do better than other social media in criticism of religion. But no it's still the same strawmanning that they do in religious circles towards us. I feel that it vindicates the religious that when they come here, all they see are very bad arguments against their belief system.
In any case people who complain about never being invited almost never invite themselves.
