Religion/Spirituality Atheism Discussion

live a life of service to others, bruh and maybe it will be revealed to you. if we weren't being spied on i would post more

Nice misdirection.

You can't say anything because you can't show or prove anything.

You living a life of "giving" and "service" to others doesn't equate THEREFORE to your assertion in this "divine entity" or "higher power" that you want to put forth.

 

[LionofJudah]

That might be true and all, I'm not qualified to argue that.

It's not something to argue, just something to look into if you're interested. It might turn you into believer.

but I do know that a large amount of the bible (if not all) isn't actually "real" history. Some of the major figures (David for example) didn't even exist. (According to Archeologist)

I'd love to see how they could prove someone didn't exist. Most of the knowledge of this world is foolishness, so I rarely put any stock into what scientists and archeologists say.

OK.

What is your spirit?

Where is it? Can it be weighed? What is it made out of?

spirit is that thing inside you that knows when u are wrong or right. your conscience. that thing inside u that feels genuine love. or genuine fear or hate.

what do laughter and crying have in common? those are 2 completely involuntary things that your body does. both are controlled by the spirit.

spirit is anything that can be done without the mind behind it. its all over the place if u look for clues. when mr miagi tells daniel-san "karate no here(points at the mind) karate here(points at the heart)" he is telling him, get out of ur head. dont think too much, use ur heart(spirit).

when athletes speak of being in the "zone", thats when their mind shuts off and they are performing off instinct. thats the spirit.

in the bible it talks about how people must become childlike to enter the kingdom of god. thats simply saying people must shut off their minds and get in tune with their spirits and they will be in the kingdom of god. you see how babies look at the world? how they interact with everything? how something as simple as jingling keys hold their attention for a long time? spirit. once a baby gets older and starts becoming an individual it loses touch with its spirit. learns bad character habits and lose sight of the true path.

meditation is simply people trying to get in touch with their spirit and shutting off their minds.

i believe the spirit is very real and thats who we really are, but our ego wont let us be anything except who we would like to believe we are. this person worrying about trivial shyt like bills, money, videogames, sports, cars. this person focusing on unimportant things and feeding the ego instead of feeding the spirit.

PLUS, even still, that doesn't describe "spirit" as much as it does the release of gas and dehydration from dead bodies.

he weighed the body immediately after death, correct?

 

[beanz]

Th spirit thing might be true, but I still think she's a fukking idiot LOL.

bro the story is probably false i doubt anybody ever actually did that, its the point of it thats important. its like lessons in the bible being taught with these outlandish stories and people focusing more on the outlandish story instead of the lesson.

if it is for you to know, you will. if it is not, you will not

I have to find it, but the study hasn't been taken seriously as it doesn't prove anything nor was it done under reputable conditions. I remember hearing that he faked some of the data too.

Its like saying, "hey theres an anonmaly we can't account for...THERE FORE SOUL/GOD/JESUS! "


...doesn't work that way.

see, as someone with an education in the neurosciences, I can justifiably tell you thats bullshyt.

The "Spirit" doesn't control that. Your brain and social conditioning control that.

And you're a fool for equating general altruism (which is found in all other social species) for being that of a "soul"

1. history has happened and will continue to happen

2. it doesn't mean jesus was real or if he was an actual person that he was who he claimed to be or did what he claimed to do.

Its just one version of a number of cults that managed to last among all the others.

I'm an atheist (atheist/agnostic meaning I reject man written fairytales attributed to "God" or Gods but I'm open to the concept and my mind is subject to change if some real evidence becomes available) myself so this isn't a snark thread.


I'm mostly okay with that concept although there are certain times where I'm thinking about it and I'm kinda feeling like ...damn, that sucks.


At the same time I wouldn't want to live forever in an afterlife kissing some dudes ass.... (but regardless of what I want or don't want there's no real evidence of an afterlife in the way it's described in religion)



What happens to a star when it burns out? That's just it for that poor star? No star heaven?


Kinda makes everything we do now a waste of time, I don't give a sh1t about instinctive animal sh1t like passing on my genes or creating a legacy so people can remember me after I'm gone (There's no point since those who remember you will eventually die and those who remember them will eventually die and so on...)





outside of irrelevant goals we set for ourselves that don't really mean sh1t (School, work, hobbies, taking care of kids u don't want, entertainment, chasing hoes, drugs or whatever ur particular vice is) there's no reason not to commit that. (but I also guess there's no reason to do it if u don't want to also)






I'm not depressed or anything, this is just real spit tho






Ya'l brainwashed religious folks just don't know how good yal got it sometimes. The Bible/Quran has every answer you'll ever need about everything and everything will just work out fine if you just follow that path. I wish I could join ur team but it's too late.

so other living things cant possibly have souls is what u are saying?

its my belief. what i eat don't make u shyt and vise versa.

No doubt, I'm going to do that. I'm already going to star off with this face though LOL

When you get a chance, check out some of these Hebrew Israelite videos on Youtube. These are just a few random ones, but follow them to check out the rest.

Also, here's some proof of the American Negro being Jews.

Deuteronomy 13:10
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of EGYPT, FROM THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE.


Deuteronomy 28:68
And the LORD shall bring thee into EGYPT AGAIN WITH SHIPS, BY THE WAY WHEREOF I SPAKE UNTO THEE, THOU SHALT SEE IT NO MORE AGAIN: AND THERE YE SHALL BE SOLD UNTO YOUR ENEMIES FOR BONDMEN AND BONDWOMEN, AND NO MAN SHALL BUY YOU.

It is what it is. All I can really say is that, hopefully, when I'm on my deathbed, I don't have regrets.

Assuming that there's nothing after death, there's nothing you can do about it and you won't even know you're dead anyway, so I try not to think about it too much. It's more useful to think about the things you can change, you know?

Honestly, the thought of one day having to watch, say, my parents die bothers me more than my own mortality.
