I have recently started seeing the hypocrisy of religion and the lies that people were taught or believe, like Christians still believe that they are blessed and feel gods present and for a long time, i’ve never felt anything but believing in a book, that was made 2000 years ago and claimed to do all good when we all know that the Bible is so contradictory to the point it’s insane and people still use versues to humiliate, degrade, or harass someone because their difference,
And of course in 2026 people still believe that Jesus is coming soon or the rapture is gonna happen soon,
And the bit that joins me annoyed is people believe that the term rapture has been the amount for thousands of years it’s not it’s been around for a couple of hundred years and that’s what drives me insane, and yet people still use the fact that science proves God exists when science does not
I just feel like I’m just angry at believing in something but what’s the point in believing what a few months ago I said questioning my beliefs
So obviously, I started leaning into agnosticism and then after some time I just can’t stop thinking about atheism and questioning do I believe it? It’s real or do I not believe it real and I just feel like there’s no point in believing anymore because none of it happens.
If my rant comes off as aggressive and angry or not making sense, I just wanted to get off my chest #religion source
" The English word "God" comes from a pagan Germanic root and was never used in the original Hebrew, Greek, or Latin texts of the Bible.
Its widespread adoption occurred between the 4th and 6th centuries CE during the Christianization of Europe. "
And more ..
" Originally, the pagan word was neuter (impersonal). As Christian missionaries converted Europe, they changed the word's grammatical syntax to masculine to align with the Christian concept of a singular, personal Heavenly Father. "
Even in french "Dieu "..
" It traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root *deiwos , which means "sky," "light," or "shining." Which invokes Jupiter / Zeus .
Was also widespread use across France between the 4th and 8th centuries CE. "
I don’t believe an afterlife exists, but even if it did, I’m not sure I would want it.
A lot of people see living forever as the ultimate reward, but I think there could be problems with existing forever. Would you eventually get bored? Would you still be the same person after thousands or millions of years? Would anything feel special if you had unlimited time?
I think one thing that makes life meaningful is that it doesn’t last forever. The fact that our time is limited is what makes moments, relationships, and experiences important. #religion
I think there are pretty good odds for a god not to exist.
Don’t get me wrong, religion is an interesting and important piece of the puzzle that is culture. I just dislike the way Christians present their religion. Believing in an “omniscient” and “omnipotent” but “forgiving” deity who forgives you for your “sins.” I doubt a god exists, though it is barely possible. I’m thinking there is a higher chance of getting struck by 100 lightning bolts at the same time at best. God cannot be human, as humans are not immortal and all-powerful. If god isn’t human, what are they? They would need to be an alien species that somehow developed in perfect conditions and environment to become aware and conscience, likely on a different planet millions of light years away. On top of this small chance, this species would need to be immortal and all. Not possible. We humans can barely even comprehend the concept of infinity, much less live for one, and we are very very lucky to exist at all. Also, if a god did miraculously exist, they would not be forgiving in any situation I can think of. Don’t have a use for humans? Trashed. Humans are dangerous? Extinction. Humans are fun? Maybe they’ll have fun with us, but they won’t forgive someone for murdering their next-door neighbor, much less care about it at all. Souls also just don’t exist. You can’t have a personality, feel emotions, see, hear, think, or even just exist outside of your physical body because the physical body contains physical versions of everything that a soul is. Souls do not just carry around their bodies, as the bodies remain on earth. After death, everything just goes blank. Not even pure darkness, just blank. We can’t see, we don’t keep memories, we don’t reincarnate, don’t exist in anything more than a few people’s memories, which will eventually fade. Heaven and hell also wouldn’t be created without their sovereign deities to create them. Idk what else to say, I just suddenly exploded with these thoughts yesterday and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it 😅. #religion
Just at our local kosher market and saw 9 day candles on sale. What are these used for? Also why are some in glass and some in plastic, wouldn’t that plastic melt? #religion
Is it permissible to pray Duhr prayer before the adhan ?
The Duhr adhan timings at my place is 12:27 but since I have evening shift, I have to leave at 12:30. So is it permissible to pray at 12:00 and after praying get ready and leave or not ? #religion source
Footnotes to Democritus: The Ancient Roots of Materialism and Secular Humanism
Alfred North Whitehead famously remarked that the European philosophical tradition consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. But that’s only because history chose the wrong philosopher.
Decades before the rise of Plato, Democritus argued that reality consists of nothing but atoms moving through the void. There was no need to invoke the gods, supernatural forces, or hidden purposes to explain the world. Nature could—and should—be understood on its own terms through a quantitative reckoning of matter’s constituent parts. This materialistic view also translated to a more egalitarian ethics and political philosophy that lies in sharp contrast to the rigid authoritarianism of the Republic.
This article argues that Democritus was the ancient world's most important philosopher, and that Western history would have been better off had it followed him rather than Plato. #religion
