  • God is tough, but fair. Change my mind.

    @YeshuaBought

    "Yeshua has the right to be angry at unrepentant sinners for refusing His free gift of eternal security."

    Okay, that has so many things wrong with it so I don't even know where to start. 

     Firstly, I am not refusing anybody's gift. I just simply do not believe in some old textbook. If god made it clear to me that he was giving me a gift, I would gladly accept it. But this is just not the case. Just because some old book says something, that doesn't mean it's true. God has to prove to me that this book is his, which he didn't. So it is unjust for him to just expect us to believe him without any proper reason.

     Secondly, his actions make no sense at all. "How dare you not accept my gift of kindness! You will burn in hell for this!" This makes no sense. If somebody is pointing a gun at your head and telling you to eat some of his delicious cookies that he made for you, the cookies are not a gift of "kindness" anymore are they? If god really was kind, and what he presented really was a gift, he would not throw us in hell just because we did not accept the gift. And I am assuming that there is a gift to accept here.

  • God is tough, but fair. Change my mind.

     I really don't think you can justify burning someone for eternity just because they didn't believe in your existence. No matter what you say, people like; Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Einstein do not deserve to suffer in hell while child molesters and murderers are eating fruits in heaven.

  • "A life without philosophy is a wasted life."

     I am really interested in what people think about this one. If a person just lived, and did not ever think about the life he lived, does that mean he wasted his life? Even if he lived happily?

     Let's assume that there is a shepherd that only lives and doesn't think about life, and there is a scientist who is trying to understand the world and thinking deeply about life itself. It is true that the shepherd will have a very simpler understanding of life and will never be able to know what the scientist knows. But can't the same thing be said about the scientist as well? The scientist, by understanding life at a deeper level, has destroyed it's simplicity and he will never be able to live like the shepherd. Both lost something.

  • Thoughts on 2018

    Well, personally, 2018 was a good year for me. If we look at it from a bigger scale though, I can pretty much say that it was the worst year yet(at least for my country).

  • Why religious people AREN'T dumb

     I do not have any information on the subject but I am pretty sure this is a fallacy. You can not prove that religious people in general are smart by showing some examples. Let me put it this way, black people in general have lower IQ points. Can I prove this to be false by showing succesful black people? No. This will still not change the average.
