    The majority of humanity really believes in all seriousness that you can think magical thoughts and wishes in your head that an invisible, unprovable being hears. And they all see quite clearly that sometimes the wishes come true and sometimes they don’t - just as would be statistically expected if the being didn’t exist.

    But they completely ignore this by simply interpreting every outcome as the will of this being. This is an intellectual dishonesty and a blindness towards empirical reality itself that is downright astounding when you think about it.

      Hes testing you. I mean hes all-knowing so he already knows the result but hes testing you. And if you do something bad, you’ll go to hell even tho jesus died for your sins so you go to heaven actually, as long as you believe. If you don’t, you’ll go to hell afterall, because he loves us all unconditionally. And don’t be tempted by the devil who was created by the all-powerful in the first place. But actually it’s fine if you tell a guy in a funny hat about it and suck his-

    I mean, Christianity at least believes that we’re born into death. So we have to pass through death to have life. So there’s no expectation that anyone is going to live forever in this body.

    Also the world kinda sucks right now. Some people pray for death 💀
