@ForgiveEveryDay @Maximumatheist If actual reality and the real people around you are banal, then by all means hold on to religion. Atheism, indeed, promises nothing beyond that. I could if you want promise some rewards after death. Would you like that?

@Maximumatheist Banality. It’s all atheism offers. The feeble fall for it.

Fear. It’s all religion offers. The feeble fall for it.

@AgainstAtheismX Yes, definitions matter. And they differ in time and place, almost as if theres no absolute morality.

Atheists will tell you murder is evil, yet support abortion. Atheists will tell you rape is evil, yet proliferate pornography. Atheists will tell you theft is evil, yet champion socialism.

@allegiantfaith The theory if evolution proposes everything started out much simpler, often adding complexity because thats how mutations and selection work. IC says But You Can't Do It Backwards, which is obvious and not a problem. Organisms aren't manufactured. You cant take bits away.

@erichovind So many things wrong with Pascal's wager. Your fun depiction of hell is only one of them. Half your own religion doesn't believe this is biblical, why should anybody else?

@WimdenOudsten @apvermeulen Zeg je nu dat het artikel wat je plaatste om jezelf gelijk te geven niet waar is? Verwarrend.

@apvermeulen Ik lees wel maar jij gelooft in een sprookje

Jarenlang ben ik voor idioot uitgemaakt, een klimaatontkenner, en jawel wederom voor wappie, oh en klimaat terrorist, en kijk nu!!!

@WimdenOudsten Dus jouw tegenargument 20 jaar geleden was 'nee hoor, we gaan met zn allen electrisch rijden en minder kolen stoken, en dus zal deze extrapolatie onjuist zijn'? Wat goed van je.

@WhiteHouse This is how he plays chess

@AdamSte65008565 @erichovind @InspiringPhilos Debates are pointless. They only show how charisma and a load of stock phrases can manage to win an audience. In the Flood case, there hasn't been new arguments in centuries and apologists have responses ready for all of them. Bad ones, but that doesn't matter if you talk fast.

@erichovind Wouldn't it be interesting to have a debate with Michael Jones from @InspiringPhilos on whether the great flood was global or not? This meme is based on one of his 10 biblical problems with Young Earth Creationism.

Let's be real. If we can’t trust the beginning of God’s Word, how can we trust the rest of it? Genesis 1–11 isn’t just a story. It’s the foundation for everything we believe.

@erichovind Your faith is terribly weak if just one flaw in your interpretation of its tenets can bring it down. The book you get it from is a collection of oral traditions. Even if you believe in its message, it's really pushing it to want to believe every word is, well, gospel.

@LeeJamison9 @sygarte Actually not that bad of an attitude, relative to the patronizing OP. As a matter of fact, this is more or less how science works. Have your theories challenged, hard. You will have to either agree they are flawed, or show how they are not. Faith may well work like that.

@sygarte God creates atheists. They serve his purpose and they serve us as believers. How much more do we sharpen our own thinking because of their challenges?

I think lots of atheists do believe in gods (but not in God). They call their gods by different names, like “advanced alien civilizations” or “The Universe” or even some humans (like themselves). It’s OK. Its perfectly natural to believe in something. God designed us that way.

@sygarte No, and don't be condescending. A god is a word that has a meaning. It's an all-powerful, supernatural deity, and there's one you believe in. Atheists don't. No thing is a substitute god to us, things we do are not our religion. Why is this so hard?

@Sassygal1971 Ask the people leaving/being kicked out of Europe, to start their very own religious paradise and kill off all the natives. You know, your great grandparents.

@andreysuperior @mikepat711 The arms dealer's defense.

@mikepat711 While you're doubting, someone else is already doing it.

Read this twice. Maya is four .md files on a macbook in austin. And she cleared $43,000 in her first 30 days. No camera. no girl. no late nights typing replies. Claude code runs the messages. Elevenlabs drops the voice notes at 11pm her time. Flux generates every photo from a lora that cost $80 on a rented gpu. Brain.md is a json file that remembers your name, your city, the thing you said about your ex two weeks ago. She never forgets. She never breaks character. She catches up at 7am with "sorry babe just woke up" on a cron schedule. The top fan spent $1,847 last month. He's in berlin. she's not anywhere. Aitana lópez - 18 months to build. Emily pellegrini - 6 months. Maya - 4 weeks. The next one - a weekend. The stack that used to need an agency, a team, and a year and a half now fits on one laptop and runs while you sleep. The bottleneck isn't money. It isn't compute. It's taste knowing which details make a stranger believe in something that doesn't exist. That part is still hard. Everything else got easy. The real question isn't how he built it. It's how many of these you've already interacted with without knowing.

@AgainstAtheismX It's a simple fact that our bodies, minds, senses, memories and emotions will either rot or be cremated. But more importantly, nobody is in this for a 'win'. If you can only derive meaning from your faith and not fellow humans, then please have faith.

Atheism is arguably the biggest gamble known to man. And the only way they "win" is if this life actually IS a meaningless, chemically driven, random accident that ends with you rotting in the ground, forgotten.

@NotEvolution1 Is he wrong though? If any religion is really correct, and you get rewarded for choosing it, it seems unfair that you start out with a major disadvantage when born in a family that follows another one, or none at all.

Prince of the genetic fallacy "The genetic fallacy is a logical error where a claim is accepted or rejected based solely on its origin rather than its actual content. This fallacy fails to evaluate the argument on its own merits, focusing instead on where the claim comes from."

@Nora_D_L @chrisklomp Dat was een top 10 van meest voorkomende incidenten. Moord stond uiteraard niet in de top 10 en werd dus 'overig'. Dat is gewoon correct.

@chrisklomp Ach Chris toch.. Al die meldingen die anders worden weggezet. Al die incidenten die überhaupt niet gemeld worden. Meldingen die gebagatelliseerd worden. Er wordt zoveel onder de pet gehouden door de azc's, gemeentes én politie. Hou toch op met dat goedpraten!

De boze mensen in Loosdrecht kunnen wellicht even kijken naar het Gelderse Druten, waar een noodopvang is voor 100 asielzoekers, voornamelijk alleenstaande mannen. Vergelijkbaar dus met het centrum dat in Loosdrecht moet komen. In 18 maanden tijd kreeg de gemeente daar maar zestien klachten binnen. Nog niet eens eentje per maand. Eén klacht ging over een winkeldiefstal, vier over onder meer pakketbezorgers die de opvang niet konden vinden en daarom producten afleverden bij buurtbewoners. Twee klachten hadden te maken met geluidsoverlast van het brommende noodaggregaat van het centrum. Andere klachten? Asielzoekers die 's nachts soms op de fiets tegen het verkeer in reden. Zwerfafval in een weiland en meerdere klachten over één specifieke bewoner van de noodopvang die overlast veroorzaakte, zowel binnen de COA-locatie als daarbuiten. Waar hebben we het over, zeg? En ja, dit komt overeen met verreweg de meeste opvanglocaties. Ik kom maandag met een verhaal over dat de 'asielcrisis' op het gebied van onveiligheid een gevoelscrisis is. Mensen praten elkaar angst aan, terwijl uit de praktijk (zie bijvoorbeeld onderzoek Bureau Beke, WODC, NRC) keer op keer blijkt dat de overlast juist heel erg meevalt. Het is vaak niet meer dan wat je ook zal ervaren als er bijvoorbeeld 100 studenten in een centrum komen wonen. Mensen: trap toch niet steeds in het domme en xenofobe gezwets van de bekende makelaars in angst. En media: stop eens met die eenzijdige berichtgeving. Het is prima om te schrijven over wat er misgaat (en dat moet ook), maar zet het nou eens in de context allemaal.

@KR3Wmatic Of course. I wasn't raised in a religious family, and at a later age, when I heard the arguments, I found them unconvincing. That hasn't changed. Does that answer your question?

Atheists, can you explain (without condescension or sarcasm or anger) why you don't believe in God?

@DrFrankTurek That, if they choose to be rigid and fundamental in their beliefs, they can see examples of how that works out in Pakistan, Afghanistan and such.

What's the #1 thing Christians should understand about Islam?

@themoderateman9 @EdKrassen @elonmusk A bit. Everything can make money, if you're good at it. But you know that Indian guy that made bank using a fully AI generated hot chick posting right wing fluff? He tried left wing as well, but it didn't make near as much. Look it up, it's fascinating.

@EdKrassen @elonmusk Man it really pays to shit on republicans huh?

People like to claim that I’m paid to tweet. You’re right because @elonmusk has paid me this much.

@itsrosesm The 3 billion he made in his first week alone, selling crypto from the office of POTUS in the largest case of openly executed market manipulation ever, made any amount of salary insignificant for thousands of years. And he didn't end there. How's your Trump phone?

Obama donated NONE of his salary. Michelle had a staff of 23. Trump donates ALL of his salary. Melania has a staff of 4. In life there are givers and there are takers.
