jfl where is the evidence of a god? religion literally requires either mental gymnastics or medieval peasant levels of ignorance to sound reasonable. "evidence of god is all around us bro, it's so obvious" - then why are there different religions? and not a single one that everyone believes in since god's presence is so obvious and clear? "it's obvious that god exists bro. he's all around us. he talks to me every day, gives me hard battles, helps me out when i truly need it..." - then why the mental gymnastics to attribute to god things that could fully plausibly be just chance? why the metaphors, when you know you never literally heard god talk to you, never literally had him intervene in a situation to help you out, and you know full well that if you fell of a cliff and became paraplegic he wouldn't do a single thing? every single religious person knows that god won't do a single thing if they fall off a cliff and become paraplegic, get beaten and stabbed by a mob of muhameds, or get stuck in a fire. because they can recognize patterns and they know that, when those things happen, it's over and god hasn't intervened a single time for anyone. god only intervenes when it is plausible to attribute to god something that can also be chance or people did it, such as when someone has a curable form of cancer, overcomes drug addiction, etc by the way i am not some edgy atheist. i am a christian but lately i've been noticing these things and basically stopped believing. and people are trying to get me back into the faith, and it's very frustrating because i can't tell them these things, as they have relatives who died and they fully believe they're in heaven, and because i would be talking negatively about a religion they are emotionally attached to, but it's the truth
