madcaesar, to memes in Put me in the trash can at the park.

I get your point, but organized religion LOVES to fleece people. They live for that shit! Make you feel ill and sick and then sell you the 7,500 $ cure!

madcaesar, to piracy in Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years

I don’t care if there are 10 platforms. Let them compete on features and customer service, but the content should be available on all. A bit like ISPs, give me the content and pay the creator a cut when n I watch.

But fuck this 10 services with fragmented content.

Fair enough, so you also are unable to provide any reason. You seem to think that getting angry and insulting me will somehow magically count as having made a point on the original topic.

No worries, I didn’t expect you to be able to provide anything, because better people than you have tried and failed over the last 2 millenia.

That’s a very long post, to say “I have no proof…”

I’m not religious and you’re constantly misrepresenting or simply reducing the reasons why people have faith. That way it’s easier for you to attack them. That’s what a strawman is.

I reiterate. If what I’m claiming their reasons are is wrong, give me the reasoning that they are using that I am missing. Stop telling me I’m wrong and show that I am wrong by providing a reason to believe in God that’s not faith or the Bible says.

Religion is an alive feature of humanity and what was consensus in e.g. christian faith 400 years ago has been replaced within the church and the faith of the individual believers. Religion isn’t about “proof of existence” anymore, since it stopped being about answering questions that have been answered by science in the meantime.

This is irrelevant to the discussion and also just your personal opinion.

Contemporary religion is about philosophy and ethics. Claiming that religion can’t answer questions it’s not trying to answer doesn’t proove that religion is moot.

Yea, pretty sure the majority of religious people are going to disagree with you. Religious believers believe in a God and a supernatural realm. What you are saying is simply wrong for the majority of religious followers.

It’s like someone asking why some people like coffee and you can’t understand why people like coffee, because if you can’t survive on coffee alone. The whole premise is outdated.

Horrific analogy. Coffee is real and we can both touch and taste it. Also, coffee doesn’t command us to stone gays or see women as second class citizens. Just horrific analogy.

I guess you’re thinking about american evangelical lunatics and substitute all of spirituality with them. Christianity (and radical islamism) is some weird, imperialist perversion of faith. Forcing other people to boin your religion, or else is not the only mode, spirituality is expressed in the world.

I’m not talking about any religion in particular. They all share the same tenants that I’m attacking here. Belief without good reason.

When you’re speaking in such a condescending manner of religious people when you actually mean evangelical lunatics just makes you seem arrogant and keeps you from actually learning anything about your fellow human beings.

For some reason you feel that me speaking the truth and demanding evidence for religious belief is condescending. When you claim to have all the answers via your imaginary friend and you seek to impose your views on others, I’m going to call you out on it.

This will be my last reply unless your next reply actually provides evidence, as demanded at the beginning of this thread. Otherwise have a great day.

madcaesar, (edited ) to memes in YouTube

Absolutely. 5$,sponsor block, no ads and no music premium bullshit. I don’t want it.

Edit: I forgot! Give me the fucking downvote count back so I can quickly know which videos are bullshit you assholes!

madcaesar, to memes in He'll be the death of us all.

Sadly, it’s probably their least insane option.

madcaesar, to memes in He'll be the death of us all.

Oh right, let’s support Republicans, they are the party of peace!

GTFO with your disingenuous bullshit. Republicans started TWO illegal wars, killed hundreds of thousands DIRECTLY and have supported Israel’s bullshit just as fervently.

Pretending like if Trump was in office he’d be stepping on Israel’s neck to stop is some of the biggest bullshit I’ve read online in a while.

Not to mention they Trump supports Putin a full on dictator currently engaged in ethnic cleansing.

I don’t know if you are a troll or just incredibly ignorant.

madcaesar, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Alright, so I was right you have nothing other than “faith”.

I am asking you to provide any evidence for God that I can independently verify.

Faith or how things make you feel are irrelevant. There are people who believe in Goku and like how it makes them feel when they are shooting Kamehamehas… That doesn’t make it real.

You jumped into this conversation train unprepared. I’ve been arguing, reading, discussing and debating religion for decades. I’ve seen it all. God has been shrinking for the past 2000 years.

I’m not even going to touch your dark matter comment because you are also incredibly ignorant on that subject given that you have referenced it in this context.

madcaesar, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Well you should meet more people of faith.

But sure, tell me what they give you as reasons? I’d love to hear their proof that won’t be some version of faith or the Bible says.

Let’s hear it.

madcaesar, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

If you have a better argument please share. I’ve heard your response a million times too.

“Oh only stupid people believe on faith alone!”

Ok so you have actual proof of God and why believe?

And before too long we’ll back to faith or the Bible says.

I don’t know if you are religious and want to actually defend your faith or just trying to white knight on here.

Either way please provide proof of God to I’m all ears.

madcaesar, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

It’s literally their arguments in a nutshell. It’s either Faith or My book says. They can’t have anything else otherwise they’d have produced it over the past 2000 years.

It’s the same people believing in Ghosts. You’re not going to find some Ghost believer Einstein that’ll blow your mind with his reasoning on why he believes in ghosts…

madcaesar, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Asking a religious person won’t get you to the truth though.

Why do you believe?

Because God is real!

How do you know this?

I just feel it in my heart!

Right, but can you prove that he exists

I don’t need to prove it I have faith and know that he exists!

Ok, so you admit you don’t have any proof it’s just faith?

No I have proof!

What is it?

You can’t see it because you haven’t opened your heart to the lord!

So you don’t have proof?

I do!

What is it?

You need to have faith!

Right, but do you have anything that can be objectively verified without faith?

Sure! In the Bible it says…

I’m gonna stop you right there, I don’t believe anything in the Bible you can’t use an anonymous book to prove your supernatural claims.

Clearly you are just a sinner that doesn’t want the love of God!

madcaesar, to memes in No water for like 3 days to get that look

In case anyone is hoping to achieve the left side of the picture remember every one of the is on PEDs

madcaesar, to lemmyshitpost in When your crush walks into class but you're homeschooled...

True. It’s a vicious cycle of hate, that’s hard to break if you live in a backwards part of the country surrounded by morons.

madcaesar, to memes in I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.

Google fanboys are just as stupid as Apple fanboys. It’s like watching two morons fight each other. These mega corps give no fucks about you.
