Comment by Flax@feddit.uk on Hole in the chest

Jesus fills the space perfectly ❤️‍🔥✝️❤️

They got a point, people often fill that hole with religion. Though i personally think it’s better to fill it with knowledge instead.

The knowledge of how God became man and died for us

That’s faith, by definition distinct from knowledge.

You have faith in your car based on the knowledge that it’ll get you to your destination

That’s a linguistic bait-and-switch. Your example has nothing to do with religious faith as a basis for conviction.

I am convicted in my faith by the evidence

Knowledge of how that story came to be for once.

And tell me this: How did it come to be?

some bronze age mental patients got in a circle and started writing

No, Jesus has a massive cock

Jesus’ holy pole is perfect to fill your lonely hole

No. Jesus loves you.

~~Allah is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Vishnu is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Jesus is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Odin is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Yahweh is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Wahguru is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Zeus is real, I would stake my life on it~~

~~Amenterasu is real, I would stake my life on it~~

Thought terminating memes… That’s a new one.

Does he also love all those babies with bone cancer? Because it sure doesn’t look like it.

He offers them eternal life and an end to suffering.

Why is this downvoted ? Comment OP stated their belief in a non aggressive/judging manner.

Behavior inherited from Reddit

Generally I’m with you, I truly dislike seeing downvote trains. But here I get it. This was a misguided attempt at proselytizing, trying to pass off faith in place of understanding.

Don’t get me wrong, I downvoted them too lol. It’s just the downvote train + tactless replies reek of Reddit.

Because these types usually think their religion is objectively true and view non believers as less than they are, here’s this person shitting on Islam for example: https://lemm.ee/post/46393021/15935358

Sadly it’s the minority of religious people that seem to be able to respect others and not use their religion as a tool of discrimination.

Matthew 10:22a

and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.

First of all: I want to differentiate between Jesus amd God. Don’t blame Jesus for everything.

Secondly, Jesus did not fill the space. Science did for me much better.

You may live your religion and like it. But I don’t like it when you push your beliefs onto others.

The only reason you are a Christian is because your parents are, not because it is Truth.

Genetic fallacy. I do not have the same faith as my parents. Also, the same can be said about Atheism: you’re only atheist because you live in a secular society. If you’re in Saudi Arabia, then you won’t be an Atheist, you’ll be a Muslim. So how can Atheism be true?

I’m an atheist because I went to a Catholic school and have seen enough to know sky fairies aren’t real and it’s a pretty good scam to make money.

That’s because the Roman Church is about money and tradition. They fail to catechise.

I’d say most outspoken atheists come from religious families - same as ex-smokers are more vocal/aggressive about smoking than those who never did.

There are a load of problems with Islam and the Qur’an, but I’ll keep it concise to how the Qur’an disproves itself. The Qur’an makes these points: The Gospel is the word of allah: 3:3-4 No one can change allah’s words: 18:27 Strongly implies that the Christians had the Gospel when the Qur’an was written: 7:157 Christians should judge by the Gospel: 5:47

The Qur’an also denies the death of Jesus and His divinity, which the Bible claims. So it’s in obvious contradiction. So judging by the Gospel, Islam is false. And the Gospel cannot be corrupted as the Qur’an recommends the Gospel and claims allah’s words cannot be corrupted.

Paul also gives us this warning: Galatians 1:8

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.

Considering the Qur’an apparently was revealed to Mohammed by an “angel”… Yeah…

What about the many contractions in the gospels? For example:

Wouldn’t it be better to just accept that your faith works for you, and other people’s faith (or lack of faith) works for them?

Nonono, god is jesus.
Jesus was bread and wine
