If you are talking about olympic gods, sure

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 year ago

Nah, just the Abrahmic god that decided to flood the world and kill nearly everyone on it innocent or not.

"Kill your son."

"What...?"

"Do it, prove to me that you care more about doing what I say than you do about your own son."

"Are you serious? That's horrible."

"Fucking do it. You want to spend infinite lifetimes in permanent anguish? Kill him. Now. Cut him open on that big flat rock over there. Gut him with a big fuck off knife, like a sword or something. Slice him up."

"But he's my son, I live him."

"Sharpen the knife first then. Kill him, or I kill you, and him, and the rest of your family."

"Ok, but, ffs, this is insane..."

"Haha I was just foolin, you don't have to. I was just joshin. Just joshin with ya."

"Should I... Do you want me to kill my son or..."

"WTF no! I was just messing around. But seriously don't ever disobey me or you're fucking done."

God douche: It was just a prank dude! Since 7th centru AD!

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Impractical Deities be like "Okay Sal, now tell him to bring his kid up to the top of the mountain and kill it."

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, Noah warned them, so yea-

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Hey you're gonna die, it's on you now wink

[-] Oderus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Where you there? lol

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Noah warned some people, what about the rest of the planet? I'm sure native Americans enjoyed suddenly being drowned with no warning.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Back then "the entire world" was a slang term for you neighborhood.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, because the story clearly talks about Noah easily finding land again because only a small part of the world was flooded.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The whole story was bullshit, however floods throughout history are extremely common. Just look at the Libya flood.

Old tales from the bible were loosely based off of real life, but embellished heavily.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The whole story was bullshit

No shit, but the story still makes god an evil villain.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

Nope, talking about the one who told his followers to rip fetuses out of the bellies of pregnant women and smash them against the rocks, and to take any virgin girl children they find as sex slaves

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

To be clear there is no god. Also to be clear the stories you have about your god describe a poorly written villain who even if it were real, again it isn't, deserves nothing from humanity except contempt.

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Your opinion, your opinion, yeah

No fact. It is factual that your skydaddy doesn't exist. That being is logically impossible, physically impossible, and we have mountains of evidence against it.

Face the universe, accept your mortality, time to grow up.

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I face a universe where God is the puppeteer and we are his toys lol

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What happened to that free will you skydaddy types love so much?

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh we are doing this game I see. When did being fucking coy become the highest form of wit?

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Uhm, there's no game, you are the one replying someone who doesn't really care

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I'm still waiting for the day one of you proves us all wrong and gets a hold of God, maybe gets him on Hannity

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Must say the same about evolution lol

[-] Frost752@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

So most people don't believe in the leading scientific theory? Despite it being extensively tested and supported by numerous studies? If you're open to learning more, I recommend exploring the following resources:

https://www.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html

https://bio.libretexts.org/Courses/Lumen_Learning/Biology_for_Non-Majors_I_(Lumen)/12%3A_Theory_of_Evolution/12.03%3A_Evidence_for_Evolution

On the other hand, there's an entirely different perspective regarding the existence of God. You can delve into this topic by visiting Britannica - Existence of God. When you examine these sources, you'll find that the evidence supporting evolution is rooted in reproducible scientific studies, while arguments for the existence of God often rely on philosophical reasoning, such as the ontological argument. While I can't disprove this argument, it ultimately hinges on faith rather than concrete empirical evidence.

Anyway, I don't expect to convince you or anyone else, just wanted to waste some time and further my own understanding of the subject, ignore this if you want.

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I meant must, not most, sorry, also, I can see you are not a nut job like many other users here, just a bit bored lol Evolution is a legit theory and possibility, I am unable to deny that obviously, but it's more of a "It can technically happen, but will it happen?" thing for me, appreciate the effort you put on your comment tho

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Oh is there a widely accepted scientific Theory of God I missed?

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Nima@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

yahweh's murder count is well over 2 million. he's pretty much the god of murder.

[-] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Who am I to judge, right?
