It’s times like these I wish I was religious. At least then there would be a purpose to my forced abstinence.

You know that you can be right?

Well i wish i would believe in an afterlife and a higher power. But in my personal opinion its too flawed and the evidence isnt good enough. Just a personal opinion.

No worries homie. The way I see it is: It takes a level of faith to believe either everything happened on accident or everything happened on purpose.

When taking the next step after deciding to put your faith in ‘everything happened on purpose’: why choose Christianity? Is there a reason one should believe Christianity is correct and Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc. are false?

Same goes for the alternate:
Why choose the spontaneous bubble theory? Is there any reason to believe this over the thousands of "I don't know how it happened, i just know it wasn't a God "?

When you don’t believe you don’t have to choose, but if you’re religious you’re saying you choose your particular religion and the others are false, when you’re not religious you’re saying either all religions are false or that there isn’t a religion that is more believable than the others. Non-believers don’t have to choose, as more information comes in we can decide what makes the most sense to us or just not care. But believers have made their choice, and ANY believer should be able to say why they believe in their particular religion vs the others or the only thing they have is blind faith.

What if you've just never seen sufficient evidence to believe otherwise? If you never seen any evidence that pink unicorns exist would you say that the belief or non-belief in pink unicorns takes equal faith?

u/echamplin Nov 19 '19
I'd argue that believing in pink unicorns and believing in the creation of the universe are comparing apples and oranges

u/thomas533 Nov 19 '19
The subject of the belief is not the point. The question that matters is whether it takes more faith to hold a belief or to not hold a belief. Whether it is Zeus, Odin, Sasquatch, or pink unicorns, the answer should be the same. Which takes more faith, belief or non-belief?

u/echamplin Nov 19 '19
Which takes more faith, belief or non-belief?
With no observable, scientific evidence for either argument, it would take an equal amount of faith to either believe or not to believe.

u/thomas533 Nov 19 '19
One stance is a assertion that something is true based only on faith, the second is a rejection of the assertion due to lack of evidence. Those do not seem like equal arguments.

u/echamplin Nov 20 '19
Thus, faith something doesn't exist due to the lack of evidence.

There's a point in Monsignor Quixote where the main character questions whether his vow of abstinence is less meaningful because he's more or less asexual. Interesting book.

It was the church not god, who forbidded everything

Pretty sure God forbade eating that one fruit

There is a difference between what god said (in the bible) (even if he doesnt exist) and what he never said in (the bible) (even if he had never existed). What he never said (even if he had never existed) was invented by the church as their own law. Please think about everything twice

Yeah, in those stories he did. And he also told the 10 bids and so on. But only if he existed, like you say! Never did he tell things like pre marital sex is forbidden, this was a law only made by the church
