    Appeal to Religion

    I wasn't equating atheism to a religion, I was just trying to word the question to be easily comprehended.

    Appeal to Religion

    As someone who was raised in a religious cult and am now an atheist, it is hard to brush off how I lived before I "converted." I sometimes am drawn to certain religions and actually have a longing to follow one (or many if it is an eclectic path). So my question to those religious-to-atheism...

    So the devil walks into a bar

    While I am not the most educated about the bible, I'll give my general opinions on each of the verses and you can correct me when it comes to context and all that. First up, 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Well, yeah, some people have a distorted form of love. Its been like that for, like, ever. Some people...

    So the Simpsons is the holy word of god, too? Just because a medium guesses something correctly doesn't make it true. The Simpsons has correctly portrayed 30 future events. I couldn't find an exact number for how many Bible prophecies have come true, but many that I read are vague metaphors...

    Well do you have proof for spirit? And what sources are you claiming say that?

    Or advanced enough technology? We won't be around to see it, but our technological capacity will continue to grow and grow until it would seem to us like magic. And as our technology grows, so would other areas like health. Who knows which generation will discovering the cure for aging? Physical...

    So the devil walks into a bar

    We are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the universe. There is no doubt in my mind there is something "beyond human" in terms of something more advanced than we are. Just because it is more advanced it doesn't make it spiritual. We know next to NOTHING about our universe...

    Question for all religions on here

    I think its the result of putting your body into a suggestive state and inputting the right information. I mean, if our minds can come up with whole worlds in our dreams, then why can't people who are conscious do the same? I think it can be explained psychologically before being explained...

    I have some deep question about God, help!

    Well, we're at a religious paradox, m'dude. My answer? Hell is a made up concept used to control the masses using fear. Same with heaven, controlling everyone with a reward no one can prove or disprove. If the verse "That god so loved the world" etc etc is true, and he truly loves the world...

    But does that deeper meaning always have to be something spiritual? I think that is where our interpretations differ. We both acknowledge the deeper meanings of Star Trek, but to me it is just using good story telling to convey a message while to you it is evidence for a divine intervention. I'm...

    So the devil walks into a bar

    So because a character may reference Something Greater, it is evidence of a spiritual influence? And also there is such a thing as referencing something without applying its deeper meaning. It was called Genesis because it was a machine that produced life. So is the spaceship Apollo a slip to...

    Believing

    I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and take "see" as in something that is currently unproven by human standards or things one hasn't personally experienced. And it is an interesting question with a lot of answers. For me, I believed because it was all I knew. All I knew in my life was...

    So the devil walks into a bar

    Okay then how does this connect to religion/spirituality? Does every show, book, movie, etc with the same premise equal religion/spirituality? Because just about every media does. Dealing with "greater entities" is so vague. It could be used literally- like Star Trek or Pokemon- or figuratively-...

    So the devil walks into a bar

    Once again, I'm not sure what you're getting at? Just because they are "beyond human" doesn't make them god or the like. They are just... well, not human! Star Trek was about exploring humanity through the exploration of the universe. It is a lot easier to identify and solve societal problems...

    Me? Enjoy writing? Hogwash. Thanks for the welcome!

    I think you're mixing up TV writing with spirituality. Of course they would have to win or else the show is canceled. I am failing to see the spiritual side of good writing.

    Star Trek: a show about space and exploration with heavy atheist themes The 100: a bunch of teens gets yoot to Earth to see if its survivable Lucifer: you got me there but- The Orville: HA! Victoria: tells about the reign of Queen Victoria I mean, you sure about that? But thanks for the welcome.
