Discussion What are your reasons for not being a Christian?

I didn't ask about reincarnation.
You were talking about karma, I assumed you were talking about buddhist karma, yeah?
Regardless, whatever happens when we die happens, what we believe makes little of a difference. When it comes to heaven and god or whatever, shit like that exists just to help people cope with the fact that them and their loved ones are gonna die someday, hell, if you get into wars, your commanders will tell you that you'll go to valhalla for your service or some shit. I don't really care. I face things head-on.
 
Can you provide an example?
Life, I guess. I never really make plans for anything, I just take things as they come.
r/atheism the thread
I believe in the existence of a great creator, but I do not care that it exists, I don't care as to why we exist, as far as I'm concerned, I'm just an animal. Humans are narcissistic and egotistical little things, we ignore the fact that we live alongside other species on this earth, like cats and dogs. As to whether they believe in a god, who's to say? They might aswell be as conscious as we are, but we're too egotistical, we think we have "souls" and we'd like to believe we have free will when we really don't. I suppose religion is all about believing in the idea of free-will, ignoring the fact that most of your actions are based off of neural patterns and instincts, you're easily influenced, etc. Every idea you've ever had has been influenced by something, a dream, something you saw, we take inspiration, we're prone to suggestion.

We're not divine beings, we're animals, highly intelligent animals, but still mere mortals none the less. We are not gods, we can do incredible things but that doesn't make us so high and mighty, it just makes us, well, us. Some day, we won't be around anymore, I have a feeling that maybe one day, we'll go extinct. Probably certain that our planet is gonna explode one day o algo, but that shit doesn't matter like at all.

If religion is your way of surviving to the best of your ability, good for you, I don't care. But I suppose you should understand this, if you're religious, it's because you work well in groups, you're good at socializing, as for me, well, I guess not. I don't know if theres any statistics on this but I wouldn't be surprised if people with autism were less likely to be religious, it's not in our nature. We're lone wolves, and the only great creator I need to respect is my mother. [wholesome] That's good enough to me.

Would you consider yourself a sigma male?

I've yet to say this about myself, but I'm not very good at socializing, as my voice is quiet and I have trouble projecting it, I sometimes have a mild stutter when I'm speaking in louder areas, and I'm not a very good conversationalist with people, as I usually let them lead the talking where they'd like it. This statement doesn't really apply to me, then.

But you attend church, right? I couldn't do that, personally. Even though theres a church like 10 steps away from my house o algo, I don't deal well with other people at all, I can't look at other people. They look at me like there's something wrong with me, I hate that.

Yeah, but it's just old people, and they barely ever speak to me in comparison to my parents. There is no one my age there.
 
I don't really like old people.
Respect your elders sonny

I apologize for not being one with your tribe, btw.
Apology (however sarcastic) not necessary, I am not Christian or particularly religious for that matter, but I am getting there. [wholesome]

There's no real discussion to be had here, I've said what I wanted to say, I'm no preacher. I'd conclude saying you have your own views and I have mine, but that's gay, so instead I will say you will suffer in hell for your hubris, whether it be the real one or a figurative one you've constructed for yourself in this world. If it is misery you choose, then so be it.
