RE: Dissing God

in #religion8 years ago

I just want to make people consider why they are rebels.

Maybe because 99% or more of the religions out there are big fat lies, maybe it's because people in power more often than not will try to abuse the faith for personal gains, maybe because even if there is a true God out there, people trying to spread the faith are doing it wrong or are completely nuts or they are partially decieved too and lots of things they preach are wrong/nuts!

e.g. priests of the orthodox faith claim that proof of God's power(among other things) is a ritual that they(the priests) can make "holy water" from common tap water by sinking some basil in the water, this water is supposed to not spoil over time, if you tell them that basil has antiseptic/antibacterial properties they will respond "we also use thyme and other herbs like oregano when basil is not available, so this proves that God is at work here!" (thyme and all those other herbs all have antiseptic/antibacterial properties)

If you asked me about god some months ago, I would answer that I'm 100% sure there is no such "thing", now and after some of your posts I think that there is a slim chance that something Greater than us is maybe out there, but I still refuse to "have faith" in other people's opinions about what God is or is not. We can't know imo and we definetly can't trust humans to tell us.

But honesty I see too much pain and suffering on this planet....

That's the reason I wrote this post.
All of those points get in the way of people getting to know the real God.
He has given us answers to the issues you raise.
But you won't find them by rejecting Him for all those irrelevant excuses.
"Because I don't like all the lies I've been told about God, I refuse to take His hand."
