You'll figure it out, I hope.
The nonexistence of God is self-evident. No being can completely occupy an infinite universe. Also, because the universe is infinite, God can neither be all-knowing nor all-powerful. He would be a completely stupid powerless entity lost in infinity and would die instantly.
Ok prove it, big brain

God is being. The universe cannot be bigger than God. You have some paganic view of God where he has a limited size.
A lot of people are really dumb. One thing that strikes me about theists is how they refuse to apply any logic or critical thinking skills they have to their own religion.
because GOD is real faggot
a god must exist
a god who doesn't create anything doesnt create himself, ergo he does not exist
a god who creates anything must create himself, ergo he exists
>God can neither be all-knowing nor all-powerful
Biblical God is neither of things
Why do You not believe in him but still feel the need to make threads, posts, tweets and comments all around the idea of God? Because deep down, our souls are always searching for the source always searching for answers, for proof. Even if your body's mind is in absolute denial on the surface, your souls mind knows and remembers and is always trying to get back to that place, but it's not possible if the body's mind and the souls mind aren't in sync with the knowing
what does god mean? what does believe mean?
Why do people believe in Humanity?
Brainwashing at young age to get cognitive dissonance and brain hurt if they disobey and break the conditioning. Next question
Because they're ignorant, superstitious, child-minded, NPC's who lack the ability to think in dimensions.

God is better understood when you leave religion out of it.
Christianity teaches that the world is controlled by Satan and will be corrupt until Christ's return.
It's no coincidence that the first anti-theist attempt to create a paradise on earth resulted in the largest mass murder in history.
Globalism is a similar Godless utopia attempt, and you can see the fruits for yourself.
>inb4 muh Christian globalists
Globalism has been opposed by God since the Tower of Babel. That so many """Christian"""
leaders are Satanic merely proves the Christian model.
Read some Thomas Aquinas.
And also understand that if God doesn't exist, we're all here struggling for no reason. If God does exist, then there is a reason behind all of the hurt, even if we can't understand why God would let us suffer.
Because he made the universe and sent his son to die for my sins
Yas Forums is a Christian board
This board realized long ago that the cohesion of religion and state is key to the sustainability of decency and morality in our society.
That is WHY we have these threads almost daily. They believe they can manipulate us into thinking being Christian is anti-white when it was Christianity what made possible for us to have nation states in the first place.
Do not be deceived by these useful idiots, Yas Forums
Believe in the Lord and praise his name.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" - Matthew 5:10-12
Because is more easy "believe" than "think".
>And also understand that if God doesn't exist, we're all here struggling for no reason
Buddhism says suffering is inherent to life and this suffering is due to desire; then the goal is to achieve enlightenment by removing desire. No God is necessary in this instance.
>Why do people believe in GOD?
because in all instances to posit that the cause of my significant experience is not objectively at least as significant, is to start with the conclusion that God does not exist and subsequently and therefore fallaciously to gather evidence from there.
I think too much. That's why I believe.
I was an Atheist for 15+ years.
God is simultaneously of the intellect, will and heart.
You should probably start to 'think' about what happens to Godless societies.
They have to or they will get tortured
>what does believe mean?
A propositional attitude you hold towards something.
Buddhism doesn't deal very well with the concept of physical pain. Nor the origin of the universe. Nor is it really a religion in the sense that there is no God being worshipped.
I found it empty, boring and miserable.
If you guys believe in God, then why are all you shitheads so fucking hateful?
Fear of death.

wtf kind of IQ-reducing non-argument is this? At least try to submit something to think about
There are 8 millions gods in Japanese Shinto.
because fuck you
Oh, my. “God” is both imminent and transcendent. The transcendent God cannot be approached or apprehended in essence, because God’s “Kingdom” is the higher realm of being. The lower realm, our realm—i.e., the material world—is a realm of becoming, in which God manifests as Logos, and is thereby made imminent. Read a book, you swine.
Do the Japanese really believe in them?
You thinking about Christianity and God through a decidedly post-French Revolution, “progressive,” and humanist lens. God’s is the power and glory of all the world. Heaven is a kingdom: Hell is a democracy.
Heaven is a kingdom and Zeus is King
>There are 8 millions gods in Japanese Shinto.
One time I similarly made the mistake of calling all condiments 'god', and the hotdog guy on the corner didn't understand me when I tried to order "1, please, with the great and almighty one and extra lord of everything"
As with anything, people because they are too lazy to check. Every person has the capacity to know the truth of anything, and if they develop their intuition, believing is moot when they can just test.
they are as real as abrahamic god :)
I was an atheist and it was a bleaker outlook on everything.
The universe is one single consciousness, which is God, the divisions of consciousness are illusory
The abrahamic god is a weird version of Zeus I think
Why?
You can't test to see if God exists you stupid idiot.
>was an atheist
>was a bleaker outlook
so you were a realist and saw what the world really is and then started believing fairy tales to cope? sad, but some weak willed people need falsities to function
Edgy atheists believe that phenomenon is the totality of existence, that there is no substrate to phenomenon - noumenon.
Their belief is as lazy as any other.
Fear of the unknown and a desire to be part of something bigger than themselves.
You can for yourself, but only if you know how, and the key point of knowing how is ineffible.
>Fear of the unknown
The thread isn't "Why are people atheists?"
Because he is
god doesnt exist
>You can for yourself
no you cant, stop LARPing
The abrahamic god is the god of envy and jealousy. I don't think that's the same as zeus.
This world is gay and so is the petty materialism it offers. If you open your mind to god you can rise above this horseshit existence and find some meaning in life.
People believe proganda.

this poster posted stupid shit, ergo he is a fag
Yes that why I said a weird version of him. But there are similarities
All logic and reason points towards our reality being created. I have no idea what goes through the minds of people who believe trillions of accidental coincidences happened and suddenly the universe appeared. What's worse is they actually believe this insane believe makes them smart
People believe in ancestral archetypes. It’s hard-wired, it cannot be controlled or modified at will, and it’s part of the human condition. Atheists simply don’t exist, or they’re lying.
What, are we supposed to love evil?
Fear
It's not about whether, it's how you arrive at the truth.
You're wrong, but it could be simply based on your definition of god - which is a core point that no one defines before entering the discussion.
A more personally important question to ponder is the existence of the spirit and the soul.
>Atheists simply don’t exist
babies are born atheists, until your pedo priests start molesting them and saying how god will punish them for saying shit to police
False. The universe exists; something created the universe; we can define that something as God.
This doesn’t need to follow any religious models. It may be the case that God has died long ago. And it’s very likely that God is not some petty deity that demands adoration and relishes in punishing non-believers and believers alike.
Brain damage and shocking gullibility.
>demands adoration
Cite your most convincing quickly-google-searched bible verse.
>the truth
>definition of god
nigga, this isnt semantics/interpretations/subjectivisims, there is no god, there is no definition of god, there is no truth of god, there is no interpretation of god, god dosnt exist, what part of this simple "truth" you dont understand dumb retard?
They literally can't handle the world and need a comforting fallback for anything bad in their life that they can't explain otherwise
>most people disagree with me because they're stupid
Ex nihilio is a very ignorant position taken by both atheists (materialists) and deists. Seeking such in any serious sense is a fool's errand when one understands that time is only a means of measuring magnitudes, and has no existence on its own.
>Why do You not believe in him but still feel the need to make threads, posts, tweets and comments all around the idea of God?
Your mental gymnastics explanation is ignoring the obvious. We are baffled by this concept that drives people to commit horrendous atrocities, or even just allow it to dictate their actions and even their thoughts. It has nothing to do with wonder of some secret religious people think they know that other people are always searching for. For me, I see the delusion in it, the attempt to escape the fear of existence through belief in the unbelievable. Religion is both utter poison and crowd control. Seeing it from the outside is almost amazing, like watching lemmings line up for suicide. It defies logic. Religion is a substitute for intelligence, and intelligence leaves and never makes another appearance again once religion sets in. Life is cruel and brief. Believing that we aren't just here to suffer and die makes is seem worthwhile - if you're prone to such delusions.
>there is no definition of god
I define God as existent. What now, brainlet
I understand that you're ignorant, and it's not the nescient form. You cannot claim the non-existence of something you haven't defined, but you're probably lack the capacity to think clearly. It's understandable, most haven't been trained to do such.
>You should probably start to 'think' about what happens to Godless societies.
They were all slaughtered by Crusading Christians?
>I think too much, but not critically.
FTFY
Critical thinking will change your life, user.
>Edgy atheists believe
You must at least 12 years old to post in this thread.
When are believers going to realize that the burden of proof is on them and that non-existence is the only thing we can talk about. The only proof of God that believers present are few books written by some Semitic people and modified by some pedophile popes. I mean going by that logic Harry Potter and Golem are more likely to exist considering the number of books about them.
