I would love to see that happen in Temecula. If you don’t get murdered first.[/quote]

no, they’d just talk with me, and get depressed, and laugh, and next thing you know, they’d be like, huh, this religion shit is kinda goofy

[scaredyclassic]

I kinda like prosperity gospel tho, trumps religion. it’s a good troll job on Jesus. I could probly fit in there. Jesus just wants me to make big money.

kind like believing in being rewarded for believing in heaven, except predeath payout…

[scaredyclassic]

no. its the word. it gives me the Willies

my parents deeply distrusted all Christians. they assumed everyone was antisemitic.

back in the old days they were often correct.

times changed. now people just hate Arabs.

but I still bristle at Jesus, remnant of my early programming that the Christians want us gone…over the long arc of Jewish history, it was a good bet to assume Christians wanted you dead. I’ll never be deprogrammed, its too late. i could never say the word jesus without choking on it

can’t trust em…I guess when I hear the word jesus, i hear in the subtext, trained from birth…” let’s go beat the shit out of some jews”.

brrrr. Jesus.

I dont believe in the afterlife, but I believe in the afterparty. and also after birth.

and the aftermath

I believe in after the gold rush in the afternoon delight..

Church of the Woods

i would 100% for sure join this church but they’re in nh

[scaredyclassic]

I liked the GOOD PLACE.

if i joined a church, id probably move about 5% of the congregation toward atheism inadvertently

[scaredyclassic]

I would like to join a church, but just for the sociability of it.

I have trouble not wincing when I hear the word “jesus” tho. makes me feel pressured, or like some scam is gonna go down.

[scaredyclassic]

my worldview would not fail…that is…we are a series of random events in a computer program for the entertainment of alien programmers…I personally could fail, but that would just be a thing that happened.

[scaredyclassic]

yes.

thats why I am roller skating a LOT more.

[scaredyclassic]

so the,weird thing is, I think I probably believe in my explanation of reality more than most Christians believe in their version of a loving and personally concerned G-d.

just a gut instinct.

it wouldn’t take much in terms of a few really bad life events to shake most Christians of the thought that He is watching over them, say if their children are kidnapped, raped, tortured over a period of years and then murdered, even though they go to church weekly, and then have to sit and listen to the murderer talk about his acceprance of jesus christ at trial…but my faith works in good and bad times.

…

[scaredyclassic]

it is not illogical to believe that we are a highly complex video simulation.

the existence of anything at all is too mysterious for logic

[scaredyclassic]

why would we expect any religion to satisfyingly explain what we think is,reality for thousands of years?

Mormonism, digitalism.

different times call for different explanations.

[scaredyclassic]

mere coincidence?

a file is “SAVED”.

Jesus “saves” souls.

the afterlife is your file saved?

[scaredyclassic]

the book of Job, my favorite, would be included in the G.O.D. canon. basically it’s a video game bet between two gamers G.o.D. and the devil.

it fits perfectly, except for Him talking to Job. that seems,to break the rules of the game.
