For humans to assume that their interpretation of a universal creator is correct when there are varying interpretations on our planet alone should provide some context for how subjective it all is. Given that there are at least billions of worlds in our galaxy alone and hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe, the chances of one interpretation by one piece of one species on one planet being the correct one is lunacy.

There may yet still be a universal creator, but the only way we can infer attributes about that creator is by understanding the objective reality that it has constructed i.e. we use science to understand the universe.

I think that some things observed by old religions could have scientific merit such as the benefits of meditation on the organization of neurons or the effect of belief on the strength of individuals, but I expect that these will be more accurately understood as our knowledge of neurology continues to improve at an astounding rate.

Elon Musk's simulation conjecture also has some merit. Given the nature of intelligence as we understand it, it does seem possible that our universe in itself is a product of an intelligent species's curiosity in a parent universe.

I was Christian, but once I read into the history of Christianity, i realized it stole a lot of things from other religions.

Also, when Jesus was said to have lived, figures claiming to be "the Messiah" were commonplace.

Then, once the Roman Empire assimilated Christianity, it was then politicized and powerful.

I was either 12 or 13. It was Mrs. Lewis' biology class. Church taught me we were made from the dirt and descendants Adam and Eve. When I brought up what was told to me by my school teacher they kind of beat around the bush. Slowly from that point I started questioning my religion. Totally gave up on it around 17 when I started College.

The age I realized religion was the human overlay of irrational thought on the beauty of creation: 6
>in summer bible school, and I realized the woman who was teaching me that Jesus loved me was essentially teaching me there was a guy that did everything my cop uncle told me to tell him or another cop if someone ever did it to me so they could make sure they never did it to another child again and put that creep behind bars
>yelled out "JESUS IS A CHILD MOLESTER"
>wouldn't stop yelling it
>my parents had to call my uncle to pick me up
>my uncle heard me out, went to the lady (who was the pastor's wife) and explained that she sucked as a teacher and shouldn't ever, EVER do it again
>two years later my uncle arrested the pastor and his wife for child endangerment, sexual abuse, and molestation
>my idiot mother asked how could we have known?

My uncle taught me most of my spiritual path. The man is a 30 year veteran cop in a city on the West Coast filled with meth heads, gangbangers from Vietnam, Mexico, and Compton, and hasn't lost his faith in the essential goodness of people.

But
>that pastor got out of prison and was killed two months later by the father of the 14 year old girl he molested
>surprisingly the chain of evidence that showed premeditation on the part of the father was corrupted, and the DA - my uncle's old partner on the beat - was the prosecution
>so daddy did maybe four minutes in county before being released

The reinforcement for me was the fact that the guy's new church congregation came to testify as to what a good man he was.

>my uncle said every cop at the trial marked down who was there; mostly due to the fact that you can generally assume that the company kept by people like that share the same values

My parents tried to make me go to church with them for years. Every time I'd ask, "Do you know if this pastor is a child molestor, too?"

Eventually they shut up and just went on their own.

On a basic level, sound is molecules colliding together in distinguishable patterns. It is up to each individual to apply meaning to these patterns.

Religion is our brain's way of identifying patterns and applying meaning to them.

Can't say for sure. It was a long slow climb. I wasn't raised in a terribly religious household. I didn't get baptized or circumcised or confirmed or communed or any of that shit, but I believed there was a god and angels and an afterlife because my family said there was one. When my grandfather died, my attitude towards the whole thing became a jaded kind of "What the fuck, God? He was a good dude." Then gradually over my teens, elements of the story started collapsing under close scrutiny. The idea that the world was deliberately created according to a plan by an all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipresent being who loves us just didn't jive with my experience with the world and with other people. The idea that it's just matter and energy and accidents however made perfect sense. Why did Poppy have to die? No reason. It's just matter and energy and everything that lives eventually dies.

I wouldn't say I was a hard definitely-no-god atheist until my mid 20's.
>>
>>696352514
i'd say when i was about 15
i'd ask simple questions to my local priest and others and i'd alway get silly answers about god working in mysterious ways and shit happening being part of god's plan and such, and it was clear pretty quickly that these people didn't know anything more than i did, they didn't actually know what happens when we die etc.

To be honest I dont know what to think. Religion on one hand is made by men. Believing in god is something different but not quite. I dont agree with many religions but want to believe that god is real. The closest thing for me to be real is catholicism. Of course there are things the catholic church has fucked up. Recently I really realised that Im going to die and that frightens me a lot. I mean everybody knows they are gonna die but recently all I think is my death and that I hope there is a god. I feel fucked up. help me :(

Became a Universalist at age 19.

I always say that atheism is the first step. Modern religion is full of so much bullshit it needs to be tossed completely before taking another look.

Religion is one of those viewmaster toys, they take in light and filter it through some bullshit image and ideas.
Atheism is ditching the viewmaster and staring directly into the sun, you quickly ruch to block out the light, but you still see it.
Universalism is the Hubble telescope, seeing everything as a system where things do not need a God to connect, rather the thing and the connection are both God.

This extreme injustice done to me made me realize that there is no god. If I had gotten it I would still believe.

What about you? What made you not believe in god?

Did your crush in highschool turn your down? Did your mommy not buy you a toy? Didnt buy the correct toy? Did you barista not give you the right drink that made you stop believing in god?

What was it?

About 6 - 7 yo
My mother believes in god, so she sent me to christian college, And they more they talked about how powerful god is, the more false it sounded for me. Back then for me it was like, if he can all those things why people never get what they ask for. So I stopped with that bullshit.

Chongs will conquer the world and are the master race:

1) They invented everything: rockets(missiles), paper, guns, working vertical flight (unlike Davinci), writing (Greece copied Mongoloid Sumeria) + build everything today. Chong engineering > German bs.

>2) The Chongnese never abused their absolute power over the Philippines, willing tributary States (Vietnam, Korea, Tibet); most was good until Euraberica began opium distribution and failed proxy wars (We tried to destroy them. We failed), and now China's modernizing and pulling ahead.

3) Before the Nips friended Germany in WW2 They'd give medical, total release and pay POWs for their labor, and never ordered abuse.

>4) These 3 Chongs never unnecessarily nor independently decided to ravage/exploit the shit out of a foreign land like the Dutch in Africa or Spain&Portugal + USA in America's.

5) in Africa, China has been building schools, hospitals, infrastructure and employing Africans instead of shoving in bibles, taking their food, diamonds, etc.

>6) During natural disasters they all work together to make sure everyone lives; there's no price gouging nor mass thieves.

7) Their divorce+infidelity rates are far lower than Euraberica-(where lifestyles cause middleage men to commit suicide and die poor)

>8) Their media isn't as depraved as ours eg Tosh.0s 'black dildo fight' where a young boy got raped and in other videos ppl get killed.

9) they actually get shit done instead of working 1 half hr or 2 half hr a day like in Ameroupe.

>10) Highest IQs+lowest crime rate. Their lit doesn't glorify (en masse) murder, suicide, crying, cheating or wallowing in sorrow-no Shakespeare, oedipus, nor silly poetry)

11) They never invaded a country for false flags like 9/11&nukes (occupation killed over 70,000 innocents+created enemies RN)

>12) No Abrahamic laws to stop their progress in human bioengineering.

+Mao's leap killed < 1/2 the pop.% the GreatDepression did.

So time to derail for a second. Need based anonymity to give opinions on this theory.

So, this is kind of a Universalist approach to religion. It makes sense in the context of other religions, so give it a thought.

What if we are all God? I mean clearly as individuals we lack the capability to be the three generalized requirements to be god: omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, but what if the totality of humanity is God?

I mean think about it. If the entirety of humanity worked towards one common goal, does anyone have a doubt that we would fail to accomplish it? Now that's a big "if" since we are so divided, which is why we will never achieve it, but it's that striving for unity that will allow us to achieve the state of Godhood one day.

What does /b/ think?

Not just retarded that's an incoherent theory. Pooling together 7 billion people's efforts into something is nowhere near enough to accomplish certain somethings. Would all of humanity be able to say what happened on this day five million years ago? No, there's no way of knowing that accurately. Same with the future, same with being all powerful or all present. How is that idea even related to God?

actually based on that, i'd say you can consider the internet a godlike being, with omniscience, through the collection of data we upload to it + omnipresence seeing as it's aware of almost everything that happens globally through satellites and our own relaying of info, and almost omnipotence with us attributing more and more functions to the internet and more things having a portal on it

see:

but anyway how about two reasons:
1. religion creates culture whether you want to believe it or not. vikings, spartans, etc. would not have existed without religious culture...

2. religion has helped natural selection speed up its course. i.e. actual native americans (north and south) are shit tier and never would have advanced in their societies to the degree that northern europe did. (if you don't believe me look at saharan africa... its the fucking stone age + guns)

Are you really saying you cant have culture without religion? lol, but i do agree that some good have come out of religion in form of a lot of people being killed, someones loss is someones win but religion has held us back way more than it has helped us, look at dark ages.

At some point religion MIGHT have been necessary for humanity, but i dont really care about that because we arent living in the past, we need to grow up and let go of childish things.

I was raised very fearful of the wrath of our "all-loving" sky wizard. Took the freedom of adulthood to shake it off. My family would've disowned me. Had my doubts since I was 12 though. I'd ask our preacher cheeky questions in the middle of sermons and get my ass beat later.

Raised in conservative Christian home. Parents took me to to some religious based carnival type event when I was 4 or 5. They were giving out popcorn to kids, but in order to get it you had to say you loved Jesus. Even at 4 years old I knew this religion must be bullshit if they had to bribe kids with popcorn to get them to join. I haven't been to church once since I moved out of the house at 18.

My parents were not exactly religious to beginn with, and after discovering that santa was our neighbor in disguise when I was around 3-4, I had my doubts about the idea of a god to beginn with. I guess I rejected it as early as my 2nd or 3rd religion lesson in school.
And the years after, I became the typical kid that asks uncomfortable questions to priests and religious teachers. Went to the religion-lessons anyways throughout my school-years. Easy marks.
