I just had an "encounter" with an atheist Q supporter here. I don't believe he is a shill or anything like that, but the dialog got me to start wondering.
Trump is pretty clearly Christian. Q posted bible verses making it pretty clear that he or they are Christian as well.
Based on what I was told by my debate partner, we Christians are spreading stupidity across the globe, and he feels it is his duty to show us how stupid we are (paraphrased - not his exact words.)
So here's my question: If you vehemently believe that there is no God, no higher power whatsoever, and all of this universe is just random happenstance, then why do you follow Q and support Trump?
How do you reconcile Q and atheism?
I think that is a bending of the meaning of proof. People believe all kinds of things and feel very strongly about them. To me it doesn't matter how many believe it either. Do you think the number of hindus and the sincerity of their belief validates the reality of their pantheon?
It's more like finding out our definitions of proof are bound by the rigidity of man, which limit or deprive everyone of important truths, and burdens humanity with the weight of long-term lies (or corruption).
I'm saying how do you know it is true? The philosophical problem I have with faith is it requires thinking one knows for sure it is absolute truth. My thinking is based on doubt. I try not to believe anything if I can help it, especially not 100%. As a human being at a retarded stage of our species (I think we are intellectually stunted with an almost unlimited upside) I figure I'm bound to be wrong. There will always be a better way to understand a given thing. Why does it seem so enlightening to think this way?
I found it to be true after stepping out on faith and not falling. Something's there holding me up.
