🇸🇪 I call myself an atheist simply because I believe no God exists, but I am at large, regarding many questions, very undecided. 🏳️‍🌈 Ally

Me reading philosopher A: ”yeah this makes total sense” Me reading philosopher B absolutely ripping A to shreds: ”wow I can’t believe A is such an idiot” Me reading A again: ”yeah this makes total sense”.

But I won’t lose. Let me explain. I can’t force myself to believe something is true if I already believe it’s false. If God exists, I don’t think such a person would appreciate dishonesty.
Dear atheist, What if, after you die, you find out that God is real all along? You lose.

If God finds it fitting to punish a person who cannot find it in their mind or heart to believe in them then.. yeah, I guess I will lose. But what kind of God is that in the first place? Not the God I am constantly told is perfectly loving and moral.

Please, I beg of you, stop spreading this nonsense about my country, we are NOT 80% atheists. 44% of the population identifies as Christians, which immediately destroys the 80% number. Then we have to account for other religions, and those that believe in God outside religion.

The number of self proclaimed atheists in Sweden come out to ~20%. You can *maybe* stretch this to 50% if you include all of those who don’t believe in a God but then you have to equivocate between atheist and agnostic. And many of those who don’t believe are spiritual.

Great news! It wasn’t cancer!!!!
I was just informed that my mother have been diagnosed with a tumor in her neck. We don't know if its malignant or not yet. And no metastases have been found in her body. So the odds are in our favor. But I'm going to log off for some time. Need to spend time with her.

We can directly observe evolution every single day. What I assume you are actually referring to is common descent, a consequence of evolution. And while we can’t directly observe common descent stretching back millions of years, we can directly observe speciation.
Why do atheists believe in evolution even though they haven't seen it happen?

See polyploidy in plants and rapid speciation of crayfish and cichlids for more information on the process.

Personally, I think @RandalRauser has offered a more compelling, morally grounded vision of Christianity than just about anyone else working in this space.
I find in @RandalRauser someone driven by a deep moral seriousness.

You are likely more related to a North African person than either of you are to a sub-Saharan person. There is more genetic diversity within Africa than there is between Africans and almost any other ethnicity in the world. Racism is for the weak.

Racists don’t have a single leg to stand on. It’s unscientific. It’s uncivilized. It’s immoral. And EVEN IF dark skinned people were somehow significantly different, so what?

Of course Jesus is real, if by that we mean that a human named Jesus lived and died about 2000 years ago. Jesus mythicism is an embarrassment and it makes us atheists look incredibly silly. You can’t claim to be ”rational and evidence guided” if you cling to Jesus mythicism.
Jesus isn’t real. Didn’t your parents tell you?

Hi Archie. You received a lot of snarky comments in response to, what I hope, is a genuine question regarding science. Here is the evidence in regards to the big bang theory, but first some history and clarifications. 🧵⬇️
Where is the proof that the Big Bang actually happened? Make me believe.
