Oh shit. Atheist fursona.
I don’t believe in a higher power. That’s why I’m so fucking grumpy. It’s certainly not because we can’t have healthcare. It’s not because of a genocide. It’s not because workers are exploited. Not because our planet is destroyed. No, it’s all because I don’t believe in a cloud man.
But if you believe in a higher power you can tell yourself God works in mysterious ways and the genocides are to teach other more important people lessons because there is a plan and everything happens for a reason.
Then you can ignore it all and be blissfully happy in ignorance.
I have become a megatheist. I buy into all the gods.
Alltheist
Ha! Love the idea of joining a church and then comparing their god to all the other ones. “Who do you think would win in a fight?” And watch the feathers fly
“But can god beat Goku?”
I mean Saitama literally does beat God. Only to forget or something
Goku has plot power level ups up his ass
If we are going by canon.
Jaweh controls the universe surrounding the Dragonball Universe.
YHVH is biblically the god of earth, and that is a promotion from god of Israel.
Only in the last few centuries has our understanding of the scope of the universe expanded to make that infinitesimally insignificant in the scope of the universe, even if the earth is still critical to us.
Sadly, the dominionists may drive us to extinction.
But what if Goku shows up with an iron chariot? (Judges 1:19)
Yuweh would just smite the artist who drew it.
Omnitheist
New gospel: All Gods are real and the reason they no longer meddle in the affairs of mortals is because they are too busy fighting their wars in heaven.
New gospel: All Gods are real
That’s the old gospel. Even at the time of the apostles polylatry (like idolatry, but different). All the gods are real but this god is your god. Hence all the proscriptions against idolatry and other gods.
And they fought in spirit and by archons. When David slew Goliath (or his chroniclers stole valor from Ethanan), that was a contest between gods, even as modern interpretations of the fight coach it in materialist terms.
The rising denial of gods via monotheism occurred after Caesar became Christian since prior Caesars got into the habit of persecuting those who didn’t worship Caesar’s god, or eventually Caesar, himself.
Sorry, I never read The Lord of the Rings so I don’t understand any of this lore.
The Silmarillion: still makes more sense than the Bible.
Since I have been talking about LOTR lore in other comment threads, you totally threw me.
That sounds metal AF
I just finished reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman so this theory seems good to me!
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Even the bible says there are plenty of side bitches. God just doesn’t want you to have any.
That doesn’t even say you cant worship other gods, just that this god comes first?
Praise Zeus! <-- bad
…but not as much as Yahweh! Man, he’s the best! <-- a-okay!
Literally.
Turns out, the Bible is wrong. The truth will not set you free. The truth makes you into a grumpy goat.
But what of tithing?? Who shall
griftreceive these woebegone atheists’ untaxed revenues?
"Witness techniques ". = Regurgitating religious propaganda and “gotchas”
Atheists are always pulling this face like they can’t believe how stupid and credulous the person they’re speaking to is. Every single one I’ve met does this.
I was WAY more grumpy as a believer. Whoever wrote this probably pisses off all the atheists around them because they don’t know how to treat them.
Right? I basically gained 1.5 days per week that had been previously ripped from me.
As a former catholic, I still can’t wrap my head around a whole day of worship followed by an all-evening “bible study” later in the week. I distinctly recall priests getting to the point, singing a few songs, reading some stuff, knocking out a few weekly rituals, feeding the entire congregation, all in under 45 minutes1. I can’t fathom what another 18+ hours of weekly religiosity would even contain.
- Hey padre, can we speed this up? There’s a game on right now and that parking lot is a nightmare.
Yeah it was awful.
We were always taught that people with that attitude were “lukewarm Christians,” and that god would “spew you out of his mouth” (yes, that’s literally in the Bible).
Also, whether or not Catholics were even “Christian” by our definition, would get you different answers depending who you asked. Many viewed the concept of praying to a saint, or the virgin Mary, to be directly in conflict with the idea of monotheism (but the Trinity is different, because…?)
While ignorance is bliss, and I’m sure it feels nice to believe in something more, I’m glad to be free of that madness.
Fr. I was so grumpy when I thought I believed in God because I’d gaslit myself into thinking I deserved to go to hell for not being able to force myself to believe “enough”. Super healthy mindset for an 8 year old right? Right??
You cannot attempt to battle an atheist unless you’re a level 10 Christian with at least a max level crucifix.
That will only work if the atheist doesn’t have any patients proficiencies, which comes with almost every athiest subclass. This gives the athiest advantage on charisma, intelligence, and wisdom saving throws from a character with the Christian class against the atheist. This is of course negated completely if the christian comes into the battle with the lawyered-up buff, but I didn’t splurge on the LegalEagle’s Book of Many Laws. So I’m not sure how that mechanic works.
Damn it’s like looking in a mirror.
How do they know I’m so horny ??
I’m a Christian, the opposite happens as well. Why can’t we discuss our beliefs in a civilized manner? I will never tell my “pastor” about an atheist or theist in my area. Especially considering I have atheist friends.
“Why some of my best friends are atheists! I just don’t let them anywhere near my kids.”
I have Christian friends. We all hang out because none of it matters. Sometimes we chat about it for the sake of chatting about it, but generally it’s the last thing on anyone’s mind. People who are vocal about their beliefs, one way or another, are annoying.
I lost a great life long friend 4 years ago and we gamed together. Sometimes when religion came up in a game we discussed it. Disagreed about it. Picked the controllers back up and played some more.
I don’t need to discuss your beliefs for the same reason I don’t need to discuss the beliefs of the schizophrenic man that stands outside my building, clad in a blanket, shouting at the sky.
Very advanced witnessing techniques are required, such as compromat or threat of hanging.
I’m pretty sure it comes from here: https://objectiveministries.org/kidz/
I want to believe its satire but I honestly can’t tell. If it is satire it is exceptionally well done.
What a self-tell.
“Everyone that I am aware of being member of a group, is like that.”
Mhm I wonder how you know that they are and why they are in a mood like that.
Avoid talking to them
Yes please
Witness to me and I’ll gore you with my horns. Bah.
