Having children will make you believe in god again.

I have children…does it matter which god I’m supposed to believe in? There are so many to choose from!

Here are my top contenders…can you please ask your god to help me choose?

Woden

Apollo

Yahweh

Zeus

Vishnu

Izanagi

Loki

And do my kids each get to pick their own god? Or is their god to be based more on where they happen to be born and which god I tell them to believe in?

After much deliberation, I’m kinda partial to Hanuman…long live the Hindu monkey god

PS - just fuck’n with ya…believe in whatever fairytales you want and go in peace 🖖

You make the choices about your own life. Doesn’t bother me what you believe.

Yup. As a younger man I tried to convert people to my particular belief system but as I matured my beliefs changed and I realize now that the efforts of my youth were a vanity.

Yeah bro, everyone knows believing no one made something from nothing is the more tenable position. Only a retard would believe a painting implies there was a painter

The good old “Watchmaker” analogy: Complexity does not necessarily require a designer; it can also come from mindless…or retarded 😉…natural processes.

And who created nature?

That cope only makes sense if you deny a creator.

The real fairy tale is thinking matter randomly came into being from nothing and that somehow it became sentient. It would be like walking on the beach and seeing a message on the sand that reads “Bob loves Sally” and thinking the waves wrote that instead of a person.

So based on your logic that everything of complexity needs a creator, then who/what created your creator? And then who/what created them? And so on….🤔.

And let’s say for argument that there is a creator, that still doesn’t address which one of the dozens of gods around the world that are on offer should I be paying attention to? (not even considering the hundreds of “dead gods” that have been worshipped and then disregarded throughout history).

How do you “cope” with the statistically likely chance that you’re all in on the wrong invisible man in the sky?

Would it be correct to assume that your choice of deity largely reflects your country, your culture, your local community and your family/friends? (I’m assuming that you’re not a practicing Jainas 😉)
