Not religious
Content in my life
Tired of people trying to convince me that their religion is the only way to be happy.
By all means believe what you want just don’t try and convert me.
Discussion
Not saying you can't find contentment. There's always temporary contentment. The question is how they fair in deep suffering, or near end of life for example.
Not trying to convert anyone. Simply sharing truth, because truth matters and has consequence. Only God can open our eyes to His truth.
Subjective truth, not objective.
Absolute truth. The kind of truth that remains throughout all time and under all scrutiny.
Wouldn’t Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists (add any other religion you like) say the same thing but about their religion?
I believe absolutely that there is no god. Can you provide me with any verifiable, non anecdotal, evidence to convince me that only your god exists and all the others a hokum and / or every other religions interpretation is wrong?
If Abrahamic god does exist why did he give different messages to the Jews, Christians and Muslims? If he’s all powerful why allow for the confusion? Even within these branches there’s confusion; orthodox, Roman Catholic, Church of England, Methodist, Shia, Sunni. Are you trying to tell me that an all powerful god can’t even manage to communicate the proper way to worship him to us? And don’t give me any ‘free will’ BS. If he wants us to choose the correct religion and brand there of what possible reason could he have for marking it so difficult?
“Under all scrutiny”? No religion stands up to even the most light handed interrogation. Whenever the argument relies on ‘you just have to believe’ that’s a hard out for me. I can believe in Santa all I want it’s never going to make him real.
Believe in whatever makes you happy but don’t try and tell me something is truth based on the fact that you and some people you know believe it.
The evidence is the 300+ old testament prophecies that have been fulfilled. And the biggest evidence is Christ raising from the dead. Witnessed by hundreds of people. It was the most well documented event in history.
No god you say? Where do you think this world came from?
The fact that there are countless religions, doesn't change the fact that there is one objective truth. There can only be one creator. It goes to reason that all except one are false.
The countless variations of Christianity doesn't change truth either. If God wanted to be worshipped a particular way by everyone then maybe He would have made it more clear.
Under the new covenant, the message is the same to all.
I don't believe it because it makes me happy. It has hard consequences. I believe it because I know it to be true.
And yes, other religions will say the same thing. But only one of them is right.
300+ prophecies - such as?
Rising from the dead the most well documented event in history - so well documented the only place it’s documented is in one selectively curated book.
It goes to reason that all but one are false - or all are false. There is no hard verifiable proof that there is a god or gods.
How do I think the world got here - dust a gasses coalescing around a star.
