Why do people still believe in God?

It's a nice picture

why does there need to be a point?

They're brainwashed while they're young.

Because if there is no point, why are we even here? What is our purpose?

so what the question is?

fear

>believing in a high power means you reject all technological research
mamma mia

there is a rock in my shoe guys can we stop there is a rock in my shoe

yes ok, but why does there need to be a purpose?

Your purpose on earth is the same as any other living being

There is no point. You exist because life developed on one of the trillion trillion planets in the universe.

What fucking existential problem can you solve by looking at space? Right before I die I'll be like "at least black holes.... "

On Yas Forums? It's contrarian to leddit so basically that's it.

>What is even the point of our existence
There is no point. We are born, we eat, sleep, shit and hopefully we find a willing partner to mate with and have offspring. Then we continue living long enough to raise said offspring and then we die. Cycle repeats, on and on.
Just like rats in the sewers, the sheep in the fields, the birds in the sky.
There's no more than that. We just happened to have developed brains that think about useless shit.

I like it how the pic is just neutral, as well as the title. Nothing implies either the "old" or the "new" are wrong.

If every Swede is thinking like you, it's no wonder you're country's going down the shitter.

NOOOOOOO! MY HECKLING GODERINO! YOU CAN'T NOT BELIEVE!

We are an expression of the universe. Not a random event

Sure, but we are causing far more harm to the planet then animals. Perhaps humanity should go extinct.

Most Swedes are atheist yes. Around 85%.
And immigrants also show a rising percentage of atheistic beliefs in the younger generations.
Alright. Prove it.

He's absolutely right though.

Well, a drop in human population would do the planet good. There's no denying that.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom

well, it is really cryptic, but presents an image of a radio telescope and a church and implies one is old and the other new. fair enough, but the are new churches as well as very old radio telescopes. If the concept itself is being implied then scientific understanding of the natural world is as old as religious thought, and indeed was never separate from the church. It's just ultimately a stupid image.

>why can't we be like glorious nippon land

Because the world has a set of rules and we are acting them out. It isn't just random

>fear
>wisdom
Ok cuck

Priests are and yes were shit scientists compared to the real thing.

Uhm.. Care to make another go at that sentence for me Henk?

Nothing implies in the pic nor the title that either "old" or "new" are wrong nor better or worse than the other.

>Ecuador

my point is that it's kind of erroneous

Religiousfags are the new edgelords of the internet

You are a fedore tipper, nope.

>Because the world has a set of rules and we are acting them out
As in?

why did they build a church in the middle of a fucking field with nothing nearby?

I thought you Nederlanders knew English.

It could have been a monastic order, or maybe it was originally built for a village that was abandoned or destroyed by war, or it supports an agrarian community

to dab on the astronomers working on the radiotelescope

Why isn't he as active as when that verse was written? Maybe then I'd fear him.

>oh my god believing in the invisible being is so deep and complex, not that YOU could understand

Physical rules, energetic rules, literally think of any rule. There is a hierarchy of these systems and we are an expression of them just because we exist

i refuse to believe any of that religion shit. if god exists why are there so many religions? why hindu and christian believe but not the same god and dont do the same practices. all one big bullshit. why does the cool shit in the bible not happen anymore? i dont see angel i dont see the ark of noa and i dont see the whole earth floodedz and then u have all the other bs, the church making money of people, they did not care about religion. i am also not atheist because i dont know that science shit either.

That doesn't mean there's a god though. Not at all. Just because fire is hot and gravity sucks when you are drunk it doesn't mean god is up there pushing me over.

>aquafresh flag

not surprising

"Unless you people see signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."

Also, why did it take "god" 200 000+ years to show us "the way"? Why not come a little sooner?

netherlands? chaoslands

I'm just saying things are not so chaotic and meaningless but it is complex and we may never figure it out

there's a reason church are empty

i dont have any existensial problems
>muh purpose and meaning
nope, but im damn curious about space and whats out there.

well religion is old and radio telescopes are pretty new. there was a time when (insesrt whatever god here) was the truth and anything else like implying earth might not be the centre of the universe got you stoned, drowned or burned. now we know better and atleast around here people will giggle behind your back if you unironicly go to church.
