its okay to hate god because god clearly hates us.
to think god is good is extremely naive.
only a hateful and malicious god would do what he did to Job, for example.

I'm not the guy you're responding to but what ''immature and undeveloped notions of God'' do you mean? I don't believe in God but I do not browse Reddit nor proclaim myself an Atheist since most people who do are stuck up cunts who think themselves better than religious people.

I was raised Christian though and am therefore baptised. So should I be wrong I would still be going to Heaven as Jesus died for all our sins and God welcomes all his children. Would not go so far as to call myself a Buddhist (not a religion by the way) but I have found peace of mind in its teachings.

>> No.14578663

>>14578638
That can be simplified further,

Relative to your beliefs/ wishes either something good/ bad happens to you after death.

For example, as an atheist, if your optimal post-death experience is eternal peaceful nothingness, either it happens or it doesn't, therefore again it is still a 50/50 gamble and a matter of faith.

Ultimately it is something unknowable and higher than ourselves that can't be articulated but can be felt. There is obviously no objectively correct notion of god, it is a somewhat relative abstract concept that can be plugged into various spiritual frameworks. This concept is anthropomorphised to help people grasp certain concepts and give them an anchor in a relativistic world.

One thing i'm sure of is that evil and the abyss exists, even if it is only an evolutionary perception caused by electro-chemical signals in our brain. This can be assigned as a badness unit vector with a dual and opposite goodness unit vector.

As stated previously all forms of faith are ultimately 50/50 binary's. We know there is suffering in the world, unimaginable needless suffering, what does it mean to exist in this imperfect plane of existence. Why? Because however abstract and/or relative there is some Good in the world. There wouldn't be any Goodness without any Badness as a datum. Without either of these "unitary vectors" there would just be unconscious unfeeling nothing. Or if there was nothing but infinite Goodness, it would be saccharine. What unknowable higher place does our Natural Goodness and Morality come from. Who knows? We don't need to know.

As the universe is split 50/50, Goodness and Badness, having faith in net Goodness is a 50/50 binary. All we need is faith in our inner Goodness and Morality - the ability to overcome our inner Satan - and have faith in natural goodness of wider being. All we can do is alleviate unnecessary suffering within our sphere of influence. Ultimately this is in vain as we will never eradicate suffering entirely but we can balance the scales in a Good direction.

Faith in Good is rational, perhaps god is unknowable goodness.

This framework can be plugged in to any faith based system.

We aren't supposed to look at the sonne, just enjoy it's rays. Be aware of the projectionist but enjoy the film as you're in the theatre until the end. Have faith in the directors vision and innate goodliness.

Meme Christianity is still better than Atheism. If if they don't really believe in God they will still favour a society based on Christian values.
