You have to be stupid to believe in God.
And god did that on purpose!!!

1 Corithians 1

Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

So here we see the beginnings of antisemitism and anti intellectualism inherent in Christianity.
Not only does this insult jews but also anyone who intelligently asks questions about faith.

Verse 28 Literally says that god is stupid to confuse intelligent people. Maybe he wants only idiots to follow, because they are more compliant?

That stuff is old news, sculptor. God is doin a new thing

That guy called Paul in English , IF God and Jesus existed back then, they probably picked him as a follower to make beliving in God more of a challenge...

Do you have to be as stupid to disbelieve in God?

Or, does this stupid thing only work one way here?

This one here speaks as though God is some Real Thing.

Also, this is but just one only of a multitude of DIFFERENT OTHER INTERPRETATIONS.

So, which one do 'you', individually, BELIEVE is true? Or, in other words, which 'interpretation' or 'version' do 'you', individually, have to be stupid enough to BELIEVE?

To 'us' it looks and sounds like 'you' BELIEVE in your OWN 'version' or 'interpretation' here. Which, by the way, to 'us' is a sign of absolutely and pure STUPIDITY.

But, 'each to their own', as some would say.

It's a lot of mind-control.

To believe in God's motives, possibly. However, you are just plain wrong not to believe this entity exists.

Really? WHy?

And when you answer this question (if you ever do) you might like to say what the actual fuck is "god" anyway.

Er, because God does exist. (verified by the Life of Brian )

Really? After all these years where I have even described God's attributes (defining features if you like) and you still need more!

As I thought. You haven't a clue what god is.
You don't know what you believe in.
Why should I follow that?

Bullshit. (and I don't merely believe)

I couldn't give a flying duck what you "follow"..whatever that means!

Just fucking sad that only one of us KNOWS the other is wrong

Kant pretty mucb established that knowledge of 'god' could be neither a priori nor a posteriori knowledge and that there is nothing observable in the world that would require us to posit such a hypothesis. simply said, there is no evidence for 'god'. not the astonishing, finely tuned universe, not that ghost u thought tapped u on the knee and not the voices in your head.  none of this even kinda proves a god exists, mate. u need 2 take a gotdamn philosophy class'er sumthin.

And despite what IC might try to sell u, Immanuel never could and still Kan't prove 'god' exists.

Philosophy? Atheists need to work out what that actually means before they start lecturing me about "philosophy" ffs.

There's yer fuckin evidence, and it's all ya gonna get out of me: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33214

For you, maybe... and who cares about that for themselves?

What makes you think it exists for anyone else as it exists for you... and what difference does it make if it doesn't?
