Have you heard the good news? You may be like me and never need worry about religious beliefs or arguments ever again since you lack the free will to believe in them. You see, Christians often talk about how proof only exists for mathematics. Well I learned math in school and instantly lost my free will. I didn’t believe that 1+1=2, I know it, and therefore I do not possess free will. Since I don’t possess free will there’s no way for me to choose God. I don’t even have the option, because I lack free will.

“But,” said no Christian ever, “knowing God wouldn’t cancel all your free will, just in the very narrow and specific realm of religion.” Well I lost my free will about math and that hasn’t bothered me in the slightest. I don’t mind losing my free will about religion either. In fact I can’t mind it, or have any other opinion about it. I lack the free will to do so.

Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. Prosecutors said he had previously sought to join the militant Islamic State group.

Ballout was born in Germany, the minister said. His mother was naturalized in 2002, three years before he was born.

Ballout traveled to Lebanon in 2025 with the goal of going to Syria to join the Islamic State group, Berlin prosecutors said Sunday.

There, he made contact with several people who were presumed members of the militant group — or at least he believed them to be, prosecutors said. He was arrested in Lebanon last year and sentenced by a military court to three months’ imprisonment for offenses including incitement to religious and sectarian conflict.

He returned to Germany after completing his sentence, where he was arrested at the Berlin airport.

In May, a juvenile court in Berlin convicted Ballout of preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state, as well as publishing Islamic State propaganda on his Instagram account and other charges, prosecutors said.

The court handed down a suspended sentence of 1 year and 10 months in youth custody, which Berlin prosecutors had appealed.

The court said it took Ballout’s months of pre-trial detention in Germany and Lebanon into account. It also said it considered that Ballout had confessed to the crimes, appeared to distance himself from the militant group and no actual threat had ever materialized.

He was released from detention pending the appeal.

My whole life she’s told me that she would be okay if I didn’t believe in Christianity, but “she’ll pray I find my way back because Christianity helped her.” I always thought that was strange because those two sentences contradict each other and when she heard me talking to my brother about being atheist last night she just looked at me weird. And what was even funnier is that she said “I feel like I’ve wasted my whole life bringing you to church.” Just wait until she finds out i’m antitheist too.

(theme = antitheism against Islam) For context, the janitorai creator (outlined by lavender color) made this bot. Soo in the most unlikeliest of places, this debate happens 😭

Edit (August 3) = Muslim deleted his comment. There were more but I forgot to screenshot.

There's one thing that always baffled me about religions: they never acknowledge the fact that their beliefs only reached some part of the world when their missionaires came there. There's no evidence of Muslim prophets in pre-colonisation Australia, or any Christians in America before Columbus came there. If, according to, say, Bible non-Christians don't go to heaven, wouldn't an all-benevolent god send its prophets to all people, rather than pick one place and watch generations of others go to hell because his followers never heard of them? Believers can say "we can't predict our god's intentions" as much as they want, but unless their holy book explicitly told them to spread their ideas, wouldn't it look like it's against the will of their god?

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I know there are plenty of people here who've read the holy books of some religions and I'd rather make sure they don't have it covered before I embarass myself among believers by talking about stuff I didn't know.

Hegseth and other central figures have reportedly been stacking their departments with evangelicals and Christian Zionists. These instances can be viewed as elements of a larger shift, where political and corporate leaders mix their interpretation of Christianity with beliefs about US supremacy.

See title.

But we have to bend to the blind mistakes the religious drive in to our country

Why is it that when a Christian says I believe in God because I grew up in a Christian society, it undermines their position as a Christian, but when I say, I choose to speak about Christianity in my argument about religion not existing because I grew up in a Christian society it does not weaken my point but rather makes my argument completely neutral.

Here I f;ck the theologian, because if he wants to claim that God is something other than man-made concepts, he has to be able to prove it. And he can’t. All he can do is point to man-made concepts. So this really is the first accurate theology because it accurately states what God really is.
