I don't work hard because I don't believe in God

>>10996952
I believe in God but not any specific one, I also believe it does not care what we do here

>>10996952

There are plenty of people who dont believe in god but work hard. They work hard for wealth and possessions but they are only heaping flaming hot coals on themselves.

I don’t believe in god because I like to masturbate

>>10996952
Did he really say this? I know he's a dumbass but really?

>>10996952
Shut up, you're not my real dad!

>>10996973
Let’s put it this way:

You wake up and don’t want to murder people. You think it’s wrong. Well, that’s being a Christian, whether you like it or not

>>10996952
>implying that belief in god predicates hard work
t. Catholicfag
Also, that's fucking stupid.

>>10996952
Daily reminder.

>>10996981
Haha okay, enjoy your hell you lazy mongoloid

god is easy mode. what's 90 or so years of pottering along compared to an eternity of paradise?

>>10996988
Yes. Life everlasting is ours if we only believe.

>>10996986
Will do, christfag brainlet!

>>10996979
So absolute morality? If morality is absolute and as much as part of the fabric of the universe as math, then why are there things in the old testament that are sins but they aren't in the new testament?

If you believe in a Christian or Muslim God, just leave /lit/ right now. Perennialists can stay.

>>10996993
Haha “brainlet.” I’ve understand and transcribed for you fellows here one of the oldest truths there is—timeless wisdom—and you deign to call me a brainlet? Haha I scoff at your simple mind

>>10997002
Get the fuck over it. This isn't a safe space.

>>10997002
There is only one God, the Christian God.

Luke 22:20 "In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you." - Douay

Though this would be a better interpretation.
"After supper, he took another cup of wine and said, "This cup is the new covenant between God and his people--an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you." -Living

>>10997002
on the contrary, perennialists are boring dumbfucks
t. nontheist

>>10996952

I want to work hard on my own stuff and not for someone else.

>>10997002
>Perennialists
Arguably that'd be the most accurate way to describe Peterson's religious ideas.

>>10996992
I'd rather never exist again than have to deal with Christfags

ACW is the definition of a beta. Imagine being this nervous talking to a 6.5/10 on skype:
https://youtu.be/SQAJ52o1GAs

I wish I could believe sometimes, but I feel like my brain has a block. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I grew up religious. I remember being forced to read the Bible and being very bored. A lot of what appeared to be arbitrary rules and shit. Better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore than on the ground. Why? At least I don't get STDs from my hand.

Women should have long hair to keep their heads covered, I think that was something I read about. Does it matter? Circumcision. I guess back then in the desert circumcision was helpful, but I kind of wish I didn't have part of my dick cut off as a child.

Heaven exists? Says who? I don't understand.

>>10996979
>You think it’s wrong. Well, that’s being a Christian, whether you like it or not
KEK classic Christian thought. Christian's think that any evidence of consistent moral attitude supports their religion. There are a ton of different possibilities for universal moral attitudes. I could say that we are simply conditioned creatures who have found a place in a community for which we recognize there are restrictions. I could say that the only thing stopping me from murdering someone is the fact that i don't want to go to prison. I could say that the only thing stopping me from murdering someone is a natural moral attitude born from a tribal instinct. The only thing not wanting to murder someone in the morning accounts for is a moral attitude, saying that such is a direct result of Christian influence is an absurd conflation.

At least meme it up and say she's a solid 7.

>>10996979
So he's redefining things to make his argument tautologically true. Sounds about right.

>>10997118
>>10996979
Furthermore, Christians take admissions of harm as evidence for a moral attitude that represents
a higher power. "You don't want to get raped? Therefor you think rape is wrong, therefor you believe in objective morality."

>>10997182
Yes, it is true and right. Glad you see my point. We Christians are known for our subtle thought and divine souls.

It's true what they say; Curiosity kills the Cat.

>>10997193
Well, I surey don’t wish to be raped. Any good Christian wouldn’t. We aren’t Catholics, you see.

>>10996979
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>10996952
That's not why people don't believe in god though, they don't believe in god because they fall in the 100 to ~130 IQ bracket and see evangelicals + blacks/hispanics in the 70 to 100 IQ bracket speaking about God (a different god for sure) and instinctually pull away from religion to differentiate themselves. Jesus, he can't even get this right

>>10997118
Well, it’s an even absurder conflation to think that your actions are not bound to His Divine Will and it’s holy agenda, that remains a mystery to all true believers who still must readily submit ourselves to it’s complex ways. A bee cannot fathom the entire universe, so isn’t it preposterous to think we, who aren’t much larger, can? Haha. Indeed it is. God has such wonderful ways.

>>10997004
I can't tell if this is really shitty bait, or if you genuinely believe this faux-convoluted canter of pseud horseshit you've spewed forth from mouthgaping maw somehow constitutes a refutation, or even a passable insult. Go back to jack it on /pol/, christfag. You're not welcome here.

What an absurd notion. There have been plenty of intelligent Christian Scholars who believes in his mightiness. To name a few? Why, sure. William Shakespeare? Ring a bell? Practically all presidents of the United States, too.

>>10997208
Shit that surprisignly enough actually happens.

>>10997213
the anon you replied to may be a pseud, but there's nothing worse than an athiest. absolute midwit garbage, hope you enjoy your materialist mental prison. may starbucks be with you

>>10997213
I’m sorry, I thought this board was for intelligent scholars interested in truth

>>10997224
I didn't imply otherwise. I'm just saying that generally it's obvious that retards are highly religious, abnoxious entitled midwits are athiest, and people with an actual brain are highly mixed, with many being religious but of a different type than that of fundamentalists

>>10997228
It is harder for an atheist to get into heaven than it is for him to fit a camel through the lid of a starbucks coffee.

>>10997231
Well spoken. May God have mercy on you on judgment day. Bless you

>>10997228
>nothing worse than an atheist
Only the simple-minded cling with false hope the notion of a higher power, that they might be comforted in never confronting their own inadequacy. God is merely a tool the lazy use to justify not searching for answers.
>>10997229

Your truth is a lie, and your lie rots the truth.

i'm going to have try this bait some time

>>10997259
Your notion of truth is the hatching of a distorted, hopelessly adolescent mind incapable of fathoming the deep mystery of existence. I feel bad for you, lost one.

>>10997231
To be hard-line atheist is to be a midwit, yes: that to reject spirituality in full is a sin unto itself-- a folly to actively combat the human condition. Established religion, however, to those who speak with reverence and self-aggrandizement the Word of God Almighty are the worst of charlatans and demagogues, and deserve to be put down as diseases upon the unending pursuit of truth.

>>10997267
I never said I was an atheist Mr. Implication

>>10997281
The devil’s notion! Go down to the church and pray before the Almighty

>>10997281
>spirituality
Meaningless word

>>10997278
And yet the mystery of the universe predicates the rejection of false hope, that one might cleanse themselves for the Grand Journey: that inherent chaos of creation remains inscrutable, yet we continue to search anyway in futile pursuit of meaning. Meaning, then, to denote a sense of self-worth and camaraderie in the human spirit that likens in-itself inward our souls. God as we know him is a ruse: a scam, poorly peddled to the masses in the hope of stringing them along by hemp rope to hang. The only true pursuit of both knowledge and spirit must come from a place free of conviction and bias; to reject false hope, and instead place hope in yourself, and the human race.

>>10997231
That's blatantly false. The higher you get on the IQ distribution, the more atheists there are, which is why there is such an observable negative correlation between religion and IQ, and why atheists dominate the highest strata of science and philosophy.

>the 'i can't think of a clever response' starter pack
I honestly feel kinda bad.

That's the first thing JP's said that I can get behind.

I'm still highly suspicious of him and gravely concerned about his explosive popularity and what it might indicate about the shifting ideological landscape of America.
