LNP20 said:Atheists, skeptics, and anyone generally opposed to any kind of organized knowledge... they all share one massive logical flaw that basically invalidates
them...
self-contradiction. It goes like this:
The claim that one believes in nothing inherently relies on a belief... specifically, the belief
in UNBELIEF.
To put it simply, ATHEISTS believe that no religion is worthy
of their faith.
And SKEPTICS believe that nothing in this world is worthy of their trust.
That’s the core issue that discredits everyone calling themselves
skeptics or atheists. Total non-belief is hard... maybe impossible... to fully
avoid.
LOL, who says no religion is good? Maybe I just wasn't raised to believe, but I think most people today are religious because...
because for most, it's just a label used by society to group people into "this is how things must be." If I'm an atheist, what makes me different? Am I less valuable? Not "good enough" to visit someone's house if they were baptized?
I know plenty of so-called "believers" who never step foot in a church, swear at God constantly, mock Jesus daily, and never confess... they don't care. Because when it actually matters—like when marriage comes up—parents will always look at you differently if you aren't Christian. Sure, there are exceptions, but that's the rule. In my family, nobody was baptized or anything, but my mother always taught me to respect other people's faiths. I don't judge anyone based on that. It's not like I haven't cursed at God before, but I keep it to a minimum. Sometimes I slip up, then I reflect on it later...
And how am I "opposed to knowledge"? If I don't believe in God, does that make me ignorant? I recognize God, but not the church. That "institution" builds its entire power and social standing on the ignorance of the people. The church is pure hypocrisy... it doesn't follow its own laws.
For example: "be humble, don't ask for much, work hard"—I heard that's somewhere in the Bible. So why are church officials driving around in BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars worth $50,000 when they could drive something half the price? There's the answer: they've squeezed money out of people who give what little they have in their pockets, among other ways. That's life... 🤣 🤣
