At least one person in that funeral got their prayer answered.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

Common mistake. You need thoughts with those prayers.

You're still off. You need potato tots and prayers.

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-

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.

It's because mortality is absolutely fucking terrifying. Anyone who says otherwise, be they atheist or religious or what, is just using some heavy copium/denial to try to deal with that shit.

Cue the inevitable response I get from this about insane people claiming that they are happy that life has an end point and that they will be happy that they will cease to ever exist again so some mold can be fed or some random bullshit.

[-] glorkon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, mortality is terrifying, but here's a thought: If you honestly believe that there's a life after death, you may be tempted to waste your life with pointless stuff. If you manage to accept mortality for what it is, you realize that the time you get in this world is precious, and that other people's lives are precious. You use your time more wisely and live a fuller life. You also realize that murder is putting a very final end to someone's existence because they won't get any extra time after death. I would submit to you that this actually makes you a more moral person than someone who believes in the morals of the bible.

Needed this laugh today.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 1 year ago

You're all being absurd. It's clearly because trans people exist

[-] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks, that killed me!

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Oh no, no no no... it's all part of God's plan!

[-] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Not true! It could also be because one or more of them didn't pray/pay enough!

[-] Inucune@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They are dead and as a born sinner they now burn for their worldly crimes.

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

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 💀

Margret Thatcher, Ronald Regan, and Henry Kissingers funerals: We are gathered here today because all of your prayers absolutely worked. In addition your prayers for a new public bathroom has also been fulfilled.
