What is the point of being an atheist? Is it to prove to yourself that you don't need a spiritual connection? And if so. What is the benefit of that?
I never grew up religious and went to friends churches a couple of times. I thought it was kinda cheesy. But, ive always had my own strong spiritual connection for some reason. I believe in God, ive asked him for help, and that is enough. I dont need 18 different teachings for me to understand that there is a hidden spiritual energy out there. For me, Id rather use that energy for guidance rather than dismiss it. I realizd that outright dismissing it may be a weakness. Its why I feel our side is so much more powerful than the left, who worship lesser beings to god like Baal, Moloch, ect, instead. We are the side of righteousness for a reason and thats because we have the spiritual strength of god over them and nothing or no one is stronger than THE god and the power he can give you if you accept him.
I have to say after walking through the Milan Cathedral, that whatever/whoever built that place had the power of god within them because its one of the most incredible things ive ever seen. One thing I loved was this huge statue of St.Johns thrown I believe, and his Arch angel Michael slaying Lucifer next to him. It to me, represented the spiritual force for good, keeping the ghouls (evil spirits) from taking over, and using God's spiritual power to supress and punish them. I also thought it was pretty funny. You might not see it or feel it or even care about it now, but if you are ever in just a shitty situation and cant figure what to do. Just quietly look up and ask god for help. You might be surprised. I know I was.
I hear that, but reality is also an illusion. And be careful don't get perception confused with reality either. So much of what we read and hear is false perception skewed as reality to make it seem like your reality is broken, see democrats and how they fall for propaganda so much which shapes their own reality and influences them to do bad things.
Imagine being in prison, sitting there day in and day out. Its a pretty crummy reality. But if those men can find god within them, it can change their entire mentality to help them find salvation and direction while trapped in a box. If you can get past the single dimension of reality and try to feel the spiritual connection, youll be guided in better directions and have more insight on the illusion called reality.
A lot of folks want this personal spiritual connection to help their children lead a moral life and not fall pray to powers of evil and corruption that seemingly find all of us at some point. That is the left side of the sculpture. With the power of god and good morals behind them, they'll choose not to rob their neighbors with their friends. With no morals or fear of god, they will rob their neighbors and eventually ruin their lives when they get caught. That to me is why some sort of spirituality is important even if you are reluctant to acknowledge it.
I believed in God. Said my prayers every night until I went in the Army in the 90s. I just asked myself, why am I doing this? God isn't real. There is no way to prove it, and the fact that there are many religions and Gods, and every one of them thinks their God is real and everyone else's is fake says everything. You don't have to believe in any God to be a good person.
What matters is believing in the highest form of god there could be, the creator of millions of universes. Thats pretty powerful wouldnt you say, and thats who gives you power of strong spiritual vision. Religion is merely a construct. You dont have to follow the words of other men to feel god, or even read the Bible, IMO. Its just about your spiritual reality.
Of course you dont have to believe in anything to be a good person, however, as I just explained in my last post to the other guy just before your comment, it helps children become better persons because they dont understand the evil in this world yet. If they have a good moral foundation and fear of god, they will not rob their neighbors house with their friends. If they dont, many will succumb to the peer pressure of evil and rob the house, then get caught and ruin their lives without understanding really even what they did. That is what the left side of sculpture represents. Not falling for evil and being lifted towards your spiritual connection that helps you guide to better choices and understanding in life.
Just remember that spirituality is your own personal connection and thats what should guide you. Following this relgion or that religion is merely IMO, a construct formed by man to help people find meaning or find god or help their kids find a moral foundation. But its not the direct spiritual connection for man. You have to find that yourself. Like you said, so many different ones, I think thats why so many get confused and scarred of religion which fractures their understanding of spirituality. You dont have to be religious to find the spiritual power of god. Thats the way I am. Never went to church. Never read the Bible. I just choose to believe in god and thats what gives me spiritual power and strenght over the illusion of reality.
I'm not saying believing in God or teaching your children to believe is a bad thing. I agree that people that grow up believing in God turn out to be good people. I'm just saying that I stopped believing because I have never found proof. Maybe if that proof would show up in my life, I might change my mind but for now I choose to not believe and just be a good person.
Ricky Gervais was asked on an American chat show whether he believed in God or not. He said not. Then he was asked to explain.
He asked the interviewer, that if with all the religions in the world there were about 2,000 gods altogether, how many did he believe in? The interviewer replied: One. Well, said Gervais, I just believe in one less god that you do.
Since He created literally everything, per the Bible, God was also clever enough to create evolution, programming into the DNA of all living things the mechanisms of microscopic mutations we witness leading to the astonishing diversity of life forms on the planet. All according to His grand plan.
There. Issue of creation vs. evolution solved at age 13 in my first high school paper, simply by acknowledging the Creator of all biology. The priest gave me an A. I am not making this up.
Pretty much been downhill ever since, but boy... that one paper 😀
2 Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Ernst Haeckel was an avid supporter of Darwin and his naturalistic theory of evolution. In haste to further the cause along, Haeckel drew depictions of embryos with a clear deceptive slant to indicate a common ancestry. He drew embryos “transitioning” in stages from fish, to amphibian, to mammal. His drawings helped the narrative of the descent of species; However, the drawings were discovered to be massively and intentionally deceptive. Shockingly, despite such deliberate scientific fraud, Haeckel’s drawings continue to adorn biology textbooks as supporting evidence for evolution.
Faked drawings comparing a dog to a human:
Actual differences between dog and human:
This is one of the worst cases of scientific fraud. It’s shocking to find that somebody one thought was a great scientist was deliberately misleading. It makes me angry … What [Haeckel] did was to take a human embryo and copy it, pretending that the salamander and the pig and all the others looked the same at the same stage of development. They don’t … These are fakes.”
Nigel Hawkes, The Times (London), p. 14, 11 August 1997.
The idea was so convincing, that despite the known fraud the drawing are, the images of embryo evolution perpetuates into most biology textbooks even into modern day.
From 1994 Textbook published by Miller & Levine
Continued to publish this known fraud of Haeckel
Many textbook publishers conceal the deception by illustrating the drawings while writing a mild disclaimer that such images were “misrepresentations” of actual embryo’s and perhaps show a more modern photo of an embryo. However, they going on to completely validate the very premise the fraudulent drawing illustrated!
As an example: Miller & Levine later revised their 1994 textbook and removed the drawings and added photos of embryos but wrote: “Darwin and his contemporaries knew that early embryos of many animals look nearly identical and that the earliest stages of development in “lower” animals seem to be repeated in the development of “higher” animals such as ourselves (Fig. 8.15). Darwin realized that the similar developmental paths followed by animal embryos make sense if all of us evolved long ago from common ancestors through a series of lengthy evolutionary changes...The earliest stages of the embryos life, therefore, are essentially “locked in,” whereas cells and tissues that are produced later can change more freely without harming the organism. As species with common ancestors evolve over time, divergent sets of successful evolutionary changes accumulate as development proceeds, but early embryos stick more closely to their original appearance.” Joseph S. Levine & Kenneth R. Miller, Biology: Discovering Life, pg. 162 [2nd Ed., D.C. Heath, 1994]
Miller (publisher of the textbook above) testified that at its peak usage, students in “more than 200 colleges and universities around the country” read…textbooks like this one.
The Dover Trial, Day 1 morning testimony, pg. 41
Haeckel not only changed the drawings by adding, omitting, and changing features but, according to Richardson and his team:
Haeckel also fudged the scale to exaggerate similarities among species, even when there were 10-fold differences in size.”
“Haeckel further blurred differences by neglecting to name the species in most cases, as if one representative was accurate for an entire group of animals”.
Elizabeth Pennisi, Haeckel’s Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered, Science 277(5331):1435, 5 September 1997.
An international team collaborated to compare Haeckel’s drawings to actual photographs of embryos because apparently despite the known forgery of the old drawings, no one had yet corrected the data. The team collected embryos from 39 different creatures, including marsupials from Australia, tree-frogs from Puerto Rico, snakes from France, and an alligator embryo from England. They found that the embryos of different species are very different.
In fact, they were so different that the drawings made by Haeckel (of similar-looking human, rabbit, salamander, fish, chicken, etc. embryos), the team concluded that Haeckel’s drawings could not have even been based on any real specimen.
Michael Richardson et al., Anatomy and Embryology 196(2):91–106, 1997.
Ernst Haeckel’s drawings were declared fraudulent by Professor His in 1874 and were included in Haeckel’s quasi confession, but according to Richardson:
“Haeckel’s confession got lost after his drawings were subsequently used in a 1901 book called ‘Darwin’ and ‘After Darwin’ and reproduced widely in English language biology texts”.
Elizabeth Pennisi, Haeckel’s Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered, Science 277 (5331):1435, 5 September 1997.
Seeing this fraud continues in “science” books through modern day, when will there now be a rush by libraries, universities, and publishers of textbooks to finally withdraw this fraudulent science from circulation for good? Or, does the fraud persist because the idea of ’embryonic similarities’ help ‘teach’ evolutionary truth? Or, is it simply without such perpetuation of academic fraud (as most icons are frauds) would eventually leave evolution without any “evidence“?
Nevertheless, the recapitulation idea (embryo similarity) is still advanced as evidence for the theory of evolution in many books and particularly encyclopedias and by popular evolutionists such as the late Carl Sagan.”
E.g, World Book Encyclopedia 6:409–410, 1994; Collier’s Encyclopedia, 1994, 2:138, 1994; Carl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden, Book Club Associates, London, pp. 57–58, 1977.

Lots of 'disclosures' these days about ET saying that one line of dinked-with genetics on their part, used ape dna to design modern humans.
True? Baloney? Remains to be seen, I suppose. But in regards to human embryos and how they look as they develop into a human for birth, it is not fantasy sci fi that it passes through stages very clearly identical to some non human life forms, and the one that disturbs me the most is the stage where the fetus looks like that of a reptile with a tail. And there is an affliction that some people have, to varying degrees, called ichthyosis (sp), where the skin in various areas but usually the legs develop reptilian-like scales, flat, silvery smooth skin clearly defined. And some people, have tails. Short, but still. Yikes. I have seen it on someone I knew. Creepy shit like that makes one question the deniers of any possible reptilian ET connection in we "designer humans. At any rate, I am getting so tired of the jibber jabber that I really don't care, because we most likely are never, ever, going to get the truth. Certainly not from our fictional science community.
Doesn't work for technology. We have to use our God-given brains to understand God's creation. Essentially the vast majority of modern science was discovered by Christians believing that God's creation was meant to be understood by the reason He gave us.
I really strongly suggest that any Christian or anyone even curious about Christianity and their faith, spend a good bit of time researching and reading up on Ken Ham and all the stuff he does & has accomplished. He is so incredibly prolific. He absolutely has been touched by God.
Ken Ham has written dozens of books, opened the Creation Museum, and literally built a life-size Noah's Ark.....!!! It's part of the Creation Museum too, in Kentucky. He runs an extremely active YouTube channel. I literally don't know how the man does it. He's almost like an Australian version of President Trump!! Ha.
Point of all this; the more I read, research, learn and think, the more I'm taken down the path towards creationism, not evolution, "big bang" and crap like that. And his YouTube channels have been a significant force behind my awakening.
And saving the best & biggest for last....... Ken Ham is one of the main forces behind this actual, life-size replica of Noah's Ark.....!!! Ken Ham (and others) built a real, Honest to God, life-size, Noah's Ark, and it operates right now as a museum.
But it gets better; it actually WORKS. Like; they did the math, engineering & science, and proved / showed how something like the ark could truly function and be very real and serviceable. Forget about floating; (which a vessel like that technically could, but it's a fixed, land-based museum) they worked out ingenious ways to distribute food & water to the animals, ways to deal with waste, keep each animal separated & secure, etc....!!!!!! They came up with ingenious ways to make it a FUNCTIONAL vessel!
Mind blowing.
https://arkencounter.com/
One point that was a giant epiphany for me:
The Bible told Noah to gather two of each KIND of animal, NOT two of EVERY ANIMAL.
Two of each KIND of animal.
Guess what KIND of animal Labradors, golden retrievers, poodles, and Great Danes all are?
Dogs.
Guess what Lions, tigers, and cougars are?
Big cats.
Guess what Polar, grizzly, black, and brown bears are?
Bears.
So Noah likely simply took two of every kind of animal, which actually makes the whole thing a lot more feasible!
ALSO.......
If you were preparing to start over before the end of the world.....what would you do / want / take?
Would you take a rest home full of 80-90 year olds? No. You'd take young, strong, healthy people.
Noah almost certainly took YOUNG examples of each KIND of animal, again making it a lot more realistic & possible. I mean; think of the physical size difference between an adult and newborn elephant. Or Giraffe. Or....... you get it.
Atheism and evolution don't line up with history as we understand it. It also cannot explain how some shitty sea amoeba suddenly evolved into hundreds of different types of animals that show up in our history all at once.
Evolution wouldn't have made a humming bird. Yet somehow we have one. Put that in your pipe and smoke it you LGHDTV community loving commie satanist losers.
God is 100% real and you better get with the program before it's too late. You're playing a very dangerous gamble. Say it with me: Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
The prerequisite of communism is :
ATHEISM
They can’t stand to have a higher power than themselves.
Atheist here. I honestly don’t think about it. From my perspective, you worship an imaginary friend. Simple as that.
I had an imaginary friend many years ago. It was comforting. I eventually realized I was talking to myself.
What is the point of being an atheist? Is it to prove to yourself that you don't need a spiritual connection? And if so. What is the benefit of that?
I never grew up religious and went to friends churches a couple of times. I thought it was kinda cheesy. But, ive always had my own strong spiritual connection for some reason.

You might not see it or feel it or even care about it now, but if you are ever in just a shitty situation and cant figure what to do. Just quietly look up and ask god for help. You might be surprised. I know I was.
Here's a pic of that statue. https://ibb.co/6d2ZtH6
The point for me is to be tethered to reality in a world of people that have supernatural beliefs.
Found the dude that cannot explain our creation or existence.
Neither can you. None of us can.
It's actually really simple. You cannot explain it because you have the morals of man and don't believe in Jesus dying for our sins.
I can explain it. You should find peace in your life and not the fake kind you wear on your sleeve for others.
I hear that, but reality is also an illusion. And be careful don't get perception confused with reality either. So much of what we read and hear is false perception skewed as reality to make it seem like your reality is broken, see democrats and how they fall for propaganda so much which shapes their own reality and influences them to do bad things.

Those are one in the same

Revelation, not observation, is the sole source of knowledge
Doesn't work for technology. We have to use our God-given brains to understand God's creation. Essentially the vast majority of modern science was discovered by Christians believing that God's creation was meant to be understood by the reason He gave us.
Isn't it possible that God created other life-bearing planets with different, non-human beings?
I mean; just from the bible (including apocrypha), we know for a fact that God created at a minimum;
So why would it be a stretch to imagine God made a planet of reptilian humanoids? Or the stereotypical small, skinny grey alien with huge eyes & head?
The Bible sure doesn't say that earth is God's only creation..... far from it.....
What do you think?
Why would we evolve away protracting buttholes? We wouldn't we never had them.
I really strongly suggest that any Christian or anyone even curious about Christianity and their faith, spend a good bit of time researching and reading up on Ken Ham and all the stuff he does & has accomplished. He is so incredibly prolific. He absolutely has been touched by God.

They came up with ingenious ways to make it a FUNCTIONAL vessel! Mind blowing. https://arkencounter.com/
One point that was a giant epiphany for me:
The Bible told Noah to gather two of each KIND of animal, NOT two of EVERY ANIMAL.
Two of each KIND of animal.
Guess what KIND of animal Labradors, golden retrievers, poodles, and Great Danes all are?
Dogs.
Guess what Lions, tigers, and cougars are?
Big cats.
Guess what Polar, grizzly, black, and brown bears are?
Bears.
So Noah likely simply took two of every kind of animal, which actually makes the whole thing a lot more feasible!
ALSO.......
If you were preparing to start over before the end of the world.....what would you do / want / take?
Would you take a rest home full of 80-90 year olds? No. You'd take young, strong, healthy people.
Noah almost certainly took YOUNG examples of each KIND of animal, again making it a lot more realistic & possible. I mean; think of the physical size difference between an adult and newborn elephant. Or Giraffe. Or....... you get it.
Not every book listed here is by Ken individually, but a ton of them are: https://answersingenesis.org/store/books/?start=0&count=72
I'll close with one of my favorite quotes: "Modern science is based on the principle: 'Give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest.'"
Where is the boat now?
Complete fabricated horse shit that science doesn’t claim.
Man did not arise from the apes of today. Man arose from a common ancestor. Our DNA similarity is a strong indicator of this.
Anything else you say is an outright lie.
Still can't prove that. Can't prove either.
Graphic is correct including the material it presents. Question everything. This provides nothing of substance. Definitely Facebook level reading.
This is missing homo habilis, but still, nice.
By the way, Neanderthal was allegedly found in the Neander valley near Dusseldorf, Germany, hence the name.
A second look revealed it to be just an old man suffering from arthritis.
Atheism and evolution don't line up with history as we understand it. It also cannot explain how some shitty sea amoeba suddenly evolved into hundreds of different types of animals that show up in our history all at once.
Evolution wouldn't have made a humming bird. Yet somehow we have one. Put that in your pipe and smoke it you LGHDTV community loving commie satanist losers.
God is 100% real and you better get with the program before it's too late. You're playing a very dangerous gamble. Say it with me: Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
Can't prove that.
It's super easy. Try putting in some effort at more than being a contrarian. Hopping in to say "NU-UH" is some they them level iq response.
