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

Can’t you just have a social club without having to bring god or morality into it?

So your claim is that tge universe had a beginning? To me, the universe having existed forever, and it starting to exist at some point with nothing, not even time before makes just as little sense.

Really, things existing at all makes little sense, it would make much more sense if nothing existed. But that is at odds with what I observe.

That’s a meme. A belief that spreads and evolves in human minds.

So you’re just redefining God. That’s fine, but it’s not helpful in a discussion where people assume by default you’re using a common definition of God.

It is likely to have biological and environmental factors. It ia very likely not impossible to understand.

Both science and religion try to answer the question ‘why’. Religion says ‘a God did it!’. Science says ‘I don’t know. Let’s observe our environment and see what theory could best explain what we see. If anyone later proves me wrong, I won’t be upset, I will be glad that I understand more.’

The non existence of a tri omni God at least has been proven, it doesn’t affect people because ‘faith’.

You can in fact prove the non existence of a thing that is logically incoherent. Obviously the default position to be is agnostic, but you can actually disprove the existence of specifically a tri omni God via the problem of evil.

If an all knowing, all powerful, all loving being existed, we would not observe evil in the world as it would be knowledgeable enough, powerful enough, and care enough to get rid of it. We observe evil, so this being does not exist.

Of course, a lot of behaviour of God in the bible suggests that he is not all loving, which would trivially resolve the paradox, but a lot of Christians believe in a tri omni being anyway, which makes my prior argument non entirely irrelevant.

Yes, all you know is that something exists. And for the sake of argument, we call that ‘you’.

JackGreenEarth, to asklemmy in What do normal people look at on their phones?

I am certainly not normal, but I either go on Lemmy through Voyager, or play geometry dash. I also sometimes read books with Librera.

I don’t know about your ereader, but Librera has been working great for me, it’s very customisable, is FOSS, and is on F-Droid.

Firefox has profiles?

Use libretube, which is free software, unlike greyjay. It’s on F-Droid.
