Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me.

God might not exist but i can see stupid comments like your actions don't have consequences, this type of thinking will definitely lead to the fall of our society, which is the support system for us, the human beings... so actions do have consequences, just that the effects of your actions might not be visible in your life time... men of the past did horrible things to women, men of the current generation are therefore facing severe consequences like being under tremendous scrutiny all the time, which causes them a lot of stress and is making them infertile... so, thinking that your actions don't have consequences is a ver bad line of thought... dropping an atom bomb on japan didnot have any consequences? Invading Vietnam didnot have any consequences? Stupid actions will always have disastrous consequenses...

Don't ask me to explain fully what I mean because I can't. But religion, I believe, grossly misrepresents God, the divine force behind and within the universe. I've been touched by this "force." It's called a numinous experience, something that transcends words, something that goes beyond thoughts and feelings. Indescribable. We can no more encapsulate it than we can comprehend infinity.
The devotional labours and inspirational genius of men are to the unbelieving materialist, simply an evolutionary accident. His hopes of survival are strung on a figment of mortal imagination; his fears, loves, longings, and beliefs are but the reaction of the incidental juxtaposition of certain lifeless atoms of matter. No display of energy nor expression of trust can carry him beyond the grave. Doomed to be extinguished by death, the long and lonely night of eternal oblivion and soul extinction. Nameless despair is man’s only reward for living and toiling under the temporal sun of mortal existence. Each day of life slowly and surely tightens the grasp of a pitiless doom which a hostile and relentless universe of matter has decreed shall be the crowning insult to everything in human desire which is beautiful, noble, lofty, and good. But such is not man’s end and eternal destiny; such a vision is but the cry of despair uttered by some wandering soul who has become lost in spiritual darkness, and who bravely struggles on in the face of the mechanistic sophistries of a material philosophy, blinded by the confusion and distortion of a complex learning. And all this doom of darkness and all this destiny of despair are forever dispelled by one brave stretch of faith on the part of the most humble and unlearned of God’s children on earth

Christian, Christ-within. Any trouble or difficulty is a reflective state of consciousness created by thinking feelingly. To rise in consciousness above the problem is to have the problem disappear. Prayer is the art of feeling. Feelings are a fact of consciousness, in other words the truth for you and the cause for the circumstances of life. According to your faith (feeling) be it unto you He calleth things that are not seen as though they were, and the unseen becomes seen In other words, disregard appearances and feel that things are as you wish them to be. To assume the feeling of satisfaction is to call conditions into being which will mirror satisfaction As Within, So Without Whatsoever ye desire, when ye pray (contemplate), believe ye have received them, and ye shall have them The only condition required is to believe that your prayers are already realised. To put it another way, prayer is a relaxed state where you capture the feeling of the answer to the question- how would I feel if it were already so? The mystic is always in tune with the wish as a completed fact for he knows ideas and feelings are facts of consciousness as real as objects so he never entertains a feeling which does not contribute to his happiness for he knows feelings are the causes of the actions and circumstances of life. He knows you never attract what you want but what you are conscious of being. That to seek on the outside for that which you do not feel you are is to seek in vain, for we don’t find what we want, only what we are. You express and have only that which you are conscious of being or possessing. To him that hath it is given I AM the Lord (law) I AM the Alpha and the Omega The beginning and the end The beginning, I AM poor. The end, I AM wealthy. Passover. Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit To get into the spirit (feeling). To capture the feeling associated with the realised wish by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of it. That which you feel yourself to be you are, and you are given that which you are. Live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be.
What makes you so angry with God Seth Andrews? Yes you are angry. What didn’t He give you that you prayed for? Who died that you loved so much? What life do you want to live so you don’t have to feel accountable to God? Isn’t it strange that someone you don’t believe in has you feeling provoked and angry and trying to engage others not to believe? What is it that keeps you up at night and working in the day to literally teach and encourage people to hate God? You can’t stand by yourself against Him? See your problem is that you can’t get away from Him. You hate that. Amazing thing is that in all your hate for Him He still loves you. And everyone of these people who text horrible things about Him. That’s Grace. But they are going to mock God and cheer you on and encourage you and you will feel pretty good about it. God tried to bring them to Him too. Through family, friends, etc., but they made fun of them too. But one day , will be no more fun day. God said He won’t be mocked.
True salvation is when you realize religions are just beliefs and within those beliefs is a supernatural agent called god. God is an idea based on nothing but ancient, contradicting and silly stories and concepts that have no legitimacy to them. Put yourself in “gods” point of view and ask yourself if any of it makes sense or is fair. Ask yourself what your purpose and end goal is and compare it to how the world is currently. There’s no way anyone could say that things are going as planned from gods point of view.
So, mischaracterize someone's argument as "anger" and avoid actually confronting it altogether? That's not even a strawman argument. That's made of tissue paper. You're not as clever as you apparently think. 😑
The fact was that, as droves of demon kings had noticed, there was a limit to what you could do to a soul with, e.g., red-hot tweezers, because even fairly evil and corrupt souls were bright enough to realise that since they didn’t have the concomitant body and nerve endings attached to them there was no real reason, other than force of habit, why they should suffer excruciating agony. So they didn’t. (Eric - Terry Pratchett)
