Opposite Effect

Why don't you want people to be happy

Where are you getting this from?

Okay I get it. You want people to be happy, unless it has to do with faith or religion.

So you're going to attempt another strawman?

That's one of the main reasons people have religion, to be happy
Who are you helping by attacking religion in the form of pictures on the internet

People are lying to themselves. Sure, it makes them feel better when they lose a loved one and think they're in a better place, but it's not true.

I'm tired of people in power making decisions based on a collection of fairy tales.

It's an atheist stream, I'm going to post about what I believe.

"It's not true because I said so"

You can't be talking, your bible literally claims to have always existed, be with god, and be god. (John 1:1)

No, it's a reference to Jesus

Makes us feel better. Buddy is that a joke?

Maybe your eyes don't work. The comment that I responded to said, "That's one of the main reasons people have religion, to be happy" So yes, religion is just a coping mechanism for people who can't fathom facts or logic.

Buddy do you really think that millions of people being punished when they could stop it. Makes me feel better?

It's sad that you put fake responsibilities on yourself and then claim you have difficulty because of them.

Maybe ask yourself, "Why is my god such a petty dictator and why do I follow it?"

Hint: A god who kills millions of its creations because they exercised free will is not a god worth your time.

I'd be mad at my creations who excessive their free will to if I were a god and my creations did the one thing I told them not to do

You claim your god is omniscient (all-knowing), so why even create humans in the first place if you knew they would do those things and "force" you to punish them?

If a god is omniscient and omnipotent, there would be no atheists. According to you and your bible, your god is loving and merciful, yet he refuses to save people. A god with those abilities would be responsible for its creation since it knows which beings are in danger of eternal punishment.

If you give something free will (their decision) sure, you know what they're probably going to choose, but it's still free will, and you can't 100% know what they will choose

And no, He gives plenty of opportunities for people to be saved (which they don't take)
And if you're wondering why He gave us free will, it's because he didn't want robots to love Him, but he wanted people to love him out of the love of their own heart

It's not free will if everything is predestined (which it would be since you claim your god is omniscient and omnipotent)

So you're saying god doesn't know everything? ("you can't 100% know what they will choose")

He knows what people will choose, but it's still free will. Unless you speak against Calvinist Christianity, your point is invalid, As God doesn't determine it (even though he could,) he simply knows how people will exercise their free will, even though it's their choice. Can you not let that go in one ear and out the other?

If your god claims omniscience and omnipotence, it's not up to the person, it's up to god. You can't blame someone for a predetermined outcome.
So your god is an insecure, needy being that needs love from "sinful" beings to be complete?

Nah, he just thinks it's cool if people worship him (people were made in God's image, that's why we like praise too)
Also, it's not predetermined, unless you're a Calvinist.
And God is omnipotent, he can put whatever responsibilities he wants on people (people are lucky for what he decided isn't up to humans)

So, worship/following god is optional? Then why create a place specifically to torment those who don't? If your god needs praise, but only because he "thinks it's cool if people worship him", why should he be bothered by others rejecting him?

As stated already, your god claims to be omniscient and omnipotent. If those things were true, predestination would also be true. You can't claim people have a choice/free will if you already know exactly how their life will play out while also having the ability to change that path.

An omnipotent being has no reason to make others work.

If your god knows exactly how someone's life will play out in a way that sends them to hell, it's not free will. You god claims to create humans, but he knows which people will be sent to hell before they do anything.

If an omnipotent being knows something will end up badly, it will end up badly, and there's no way around that. There is no way for that outcome to change, so it's not free will.

If anything, you're the one not listening. I've been explaining how omnipotence and omniscience cancel out free will in several responses.

Well technically anything that god does that's 'bad' is still better than what we deserve

And that's a pretty f**ked up mindset.

"My god can commit whatever atrocities he wishes and whoever he puts his petty wrath unto deserves it."

Well thats still better than being in eternal torment

Eternal torment (hell) is one of the atrocities.

No

GO TO CHURCH YA’LL ATHEISM IS WHAT MAKES YOU GO TO THE DEVIL…
