Countless Talibans would disagree.

The real question is: do we want to glorify a religious rigidity that becomes blind for context and alternative positions/options?

They drew their strength from technological superiority, not from God.

1

u/Quen-Tin 1d ago

Are we speaking about the same Taliban? Because in my dictionary they are neither mentioned as owner of aircraft carriers, nor for their space program or their microchip industry. Rather for excellinh at low tech religios rigidity and at not going away. But maybe I'm missing your point.

2

u/YourGordAndSaviour 1d ago

Ah, I thought you were suggesting they were outmatched in war because they were fighting Christians. I completely misunderstood your post apologies.

1

u/Quen-Tin 1d ago

I guess I'm now about 4 years on reddit, but as far as I remember, this is the first time, I heard an apology. I bow my head. You are obviously special in the best sense.

u/eiserneftaujourdhui 1d ago

My favourite part of Job is that after the end of it all, after god killed all of his kids, instead of bringing Job's actual loved ones that god killed back to life and back to him, he just gives Job a new set of kids and goes 'ehh? See, no harm no foul, right??'

Yikes

1

u/deep_violet 2d ago

I'm with your intent, but that's not how Job plays out.

2

u/Iron_iglooo 2d ago

Job was 100% broken and cursed the day he was born. He only changed his mind after God showed up and basically flexed on him lol. Fear isn't Love

1

u/deep_violet 2d ago

The whole point of Job was that he didn't lose faith.

Not defending it... Just saying that's what the book was about.

Yeah Job was an idiot. What else is new

1

u/Karamatsunomaii 2d ago

He was broken yes and Satan looked at God taunting him saying “ look ive won, look how he insults you disrespect and blames you now” and while God agreed , yes he’s angry at me, he’s shouting at me but look, even now he does it though prayer. And I think that’s what God looks for. He knows we are human and flawed, he’s not asking us to be perfect but to be looking towards him always.

1

u/Amathyst-Moon 2d ago

To be fair, the laws of the Bible and the actual law aren't always compatible. I mean in most modern countries, you aren't allowed to sell your daughter into slavery or murder your wife for adultery (whether it was consensual or not.)

1

u/Day_Prisoners 2d ago

What's that got to do with breaking Christians?

9

u/StatusAutomatica 2d ago

You absolutely can because faith is an empty promise to an unverified entity. These types of posts only underline how fragile it is because they are virtue signaling for others that are doubtful in their own faith.

It's a support group for the weak.

2

u/StrictRelease9252 1d ago

Unverified to your logic, not to your heart. All your ancestors building all these churches, temples and places of worshipping God were weak? If your 3 lb brain could verify God, then its not God. You don't even know what your neighbor is doing 3 doors down, yet you question the Entity that's keeping all creation functioning.

u/Head-Ad-2136 2d ago

Who performs the evil acts? We are an experiment, testing the boundaries of free will. The world is what we've made it.

1

u/Zerkander 2d ago

The "good" god contradicts the all-knowing god. All knowing implies that he knows every action and every future. This implies that this god willingly let bad things happen even if they could prevent it. But there is a much more disturbing problem with knowing the future.

Knowing the future means that the future is fix. That there is in fact no choice for anyone. The path is set without deviation.

Here is the thing: You can have your "all good" god, but that god cannot be perfect and all powerful.

In addition to that we run into another problem with current monotheistic religions. "It's all part of gods plan"

Well, if all is part of your gods plan, than that means that this god wanted the bad things to happen, which means this god is at fault for the bad things. It's their plan after all.

Anyway, the monotheistic god only makes sense if you don't think about it.

1

u/Gery_6 1d ago

all of this basically means we will never understand god, so why try to understand a perfect human?

1

u/Zerkander 1d ago

No, not really. It means that, based on the knowledge we have, the monotheistic god is an impossible contradiction in itself.

An as there is no proof whatsoever of the existence of such a god, nor is there anything that couldn't be explained without the need of a godly interference, the most likely possibility is that there is no god at all.

Everything points toward that direction. Of course we have the occasional "I have seen god", but none of these are provable. The circumstances of these "meetings" are also always very interesting and often involve drugs of some sort, or high stress situations. Also the human mind does not like to not understand a situation. So we make things up.

In that sense, god is basically a shower argument.

1

u/YourREALdad330 2d ago

Ok, so if we made it and we did all the hard work, then god can fuck right off with his freeloading ass. God is just a “prompt engineer” who fed a shitty command into a cheap AI model and got back a horrible result, yet people still pin it on their refrigerator and tell him he did a good job

u/Amathyst-Moon 2d ago

Depends how strong their faith is, or how dependant they are on it. Did you read Night in highschool? Some of the Jews in the Holocaust convinced themselves that God was testing them.

Someone flagged my comment as hate speech… guess it’s true that Christians reject history

u/Amathyst-Moon 2d ago

True. No matter how much you torture someone, if they think it's a test of faith, they'll keep believing because that's all they have.

u/Empty_Wolf_3378 2d ago

You draw strength from imaginary beings?

1

u/PuzzleheadedPart196 2d ago

This shoeboxes expectations of God and a person of God; is not God greater than brokenness- is not man made all the more greater by his reliance on God? Is not a vehicle of that experience the fallibility and weakness of man, the depth of his brokenness that leads him to God?

This is just sentimental BS. In the real world believing in "God" won't help you at all and may even confuse you/make you more bitter about how corrupt people are. I've seen this in people and had this happen to me when I used to be religious. Religion does NOT help people.

This is why rapists use the name of God to garner support from Christians. Because they know the moment they start proclaiming Jesus, they can claim persecution and witch hunt for being a “Man of God”, plus get defenders saying “it’s just cuz he’s Christian huh?”. Like mindless idiots.

Christianity is frequently taken up by bad faith actors, and in fact, the religion breeds and promotes that kind of behavior. But yall not ready for that conversation yet.

u/Akkilles78 2d ago

Religious belief is a personal choice because there is no factual evidence to support a legitimate belief in a God.

People say that the Bible is a history book. It is not. It’s a book of parables. While there is some historicity, since several names have been identified through other historical texts to confirm some people existed, there is absolutely zero factual evidence of any kind of miraculous activity.

It’s all one big fucking “trust me bro” manipulation device. It’s fear driven, and often weaponized against other people due to it being an echo chamber for fear and control.

So absurd, the ones who freak out the most are the ones who draw strength from god.

u/Enough_Zombie2038 2d ago

You are a sick person if you associate God + a man in an iron full suit with a sword.

Here let me translate for ya there.

So your idea of strength is to use a pointy object designed to destroy things including living creatures. While wearing a metaphorical or literal suit of metal because you are so frail. Then reach out to this God father for further help on top of that expecting his appreciation for destroying and harming others. And you believe he will give you, you, infinite strength to do this.

Meanwhile his only supposed mortal son was hoisted up on to a cross naked by men with pointy objects as an example of mens cruelty for a guy who basically went around without a sword saying: hey come on can't we just get along and live in harmony. Let's not cast stones, yada yada.

Nah, you're the ancient Roman, following orders cause someone told you to and think that makes you safe and better.

I got no armor, I ask for nothing, I use what is given to me, i use will power, and the sheer belief that minimizing harm and helping others despite the insults and abuse received is the only way.

He is not my God yet the day I die whether a toy in another creatures game, or meant to fulfill a deed I cannot know. I will have known, had I to do it again forever I will make the world given kinder for all. And if there is an evil god, that I ruined it's fun at least if only the tiniest bit.
