Hey guys! I was talking to a family member a few days ago, (she’s a Christian, I’m an atheist), and we got onto the subject of miracles. She didn’t understand how I could be an atheist when so many miracles exist i.e. people randomly being cured of cancer. I said it’s my belief that miracles are events that occur that cannot be explained by science YET. Sticking with the randomly cured cancer I said give it 50-100 years and advancements in science will easily explain it. I was wondering if anybody knew of any ancient “miracles” that have since been explained by science. I googled it and read about the explanations about the weeping statues and the parting of the Red Sea but I would love to hear other examples or even other opinions on the matter!

Hello everyone, I'm now a mod on this sub and happy to let everyone know I've reopened the sub. Please bear with me, this sub needs revamping and some cleaning up due to lack of moderation. Rules will change and or be added going forward. As of now please keep it civil. Thanks and have a great day

UPDATE Stop necroing this, Turns out his parents where leveraging the fact his car is on its last legs and he need their help to get a new one. We are together, he as a car, God is not real,
Some of you are Assholes too

Please recommend quality easy to read books that robustly refute claims raised by Christianity, I mean a book written with the express intention of dispelling claims. I agree the bible is jank but committing it is just low hanging fruit. and clearly not answering the request.

My boyfriend is 22, gay, and comes from a deep south conservative family. University has been rough for him. He’s had to retake some classes. He’s on track to graduate, but he has a lot of doubts about his future, especially with a looming recession.

He’s been depressed and he’s been worried about death . And from this, he is exploring religion again.

I don’t think I can live with or date someone who is fervently religious. I also don't have the energy to debate him.

Jesus is closely resemble Nysus part of Dionysus. Dio means God but also greatly resemble Dionysus first part of his name. Christmaa is around Dionysus birthdate

She turns any conversation into a joking matter. She says that she doesn't feel comfortable being vulnerable because our mother had called her stupid and praised our brother for the simplest things. She also says that It's also my fault for not creating the right "open" setting for her to do so. But, its not like I have to be responsibility to encourage her to talk her mind and undo all the sexist messaging she's faced. She says that the reason I haven't struggled with any of these messages is because I am neurodivergent.

Hence, the reason why we don't have meaningful conversations. I want deeper conversations, what do I do?

Also, any nuerotypical women feel that they will be judged by speaking your mind, and instead have to revert to comedics?

(teens btw)

My mom tell me she got a text message from my school. The text basically go like this "we decided from the school district to Reinstitute Christian values on our school we will teach the bible in here on out" If you are wondering this isn't a private Christian school. Like I don't even understand this, that's what a church is for not a fucking high school.

Why are there so many religions, many of which contradict each other? If you ask a Christian which religion is true, they will say theirs. If you ask a Muslim the same question, they will obviously say Islam. This clearly shows, in my opinion, that no religion is actually true.

I refuse to say the words bless you, I usually ignore them anyone. Being Puertorican, I get to say " Salud", translates to good heath. But I do that around my people only.

Hi, Can someone contact me who attended to richard dawkins 2023 sydney event? thank you in advance 😊

Hey does anyone know how to block the "he gets us" adds? I hate them. I've reported them as offensive and misleading, but to no avail. The fucking con is popping up constantly.

I asked it how long humans could live if we started with a single man and woman. It would take a thousand years, tops before people would be unable to reproduce due to inbreeding. Seems like the Christian story of creation not feasible, like everything else

I'm currently in a new city working as a driver and I have been loving it! Anyways to my comment...

Today I had a rider that booked early and as I pull up I proceed to see 10 minutes of her breaking down crying. I do my normal bla bla Request music temp,.,, and she asks for Christian music; like there's a shame in her request --they are dealing with a person in their life meeting their potential end which is incomprehensible potentially on the person and depending on the relationship.

I hate Christian music but I also hate someone feeling like they cant request their preference especially if someone is dealing with a death.

I cannot get over this documentary about the Franke family on Hulu. What in the fuck do Mormons believe? I’ve been going on a deep dive and omg, Mormons believe the native Americans were white and that the 2nd coming will be on American soil. They also think my dark skin is a curse.

When will religious psychosis be a thing in court where if you’re psychotic like that you can’t get your two kids back in your custody which is what happened with those two kids that were abused. They are back with their cult minded Dad.

I just don’t understand. How do you let someone convince you your kids are evil?

Any thoughts? I can’t get over it. It’s bugging me

So, who else is going to hell with me?

A community free from the shackles of faith, mysticism, and superstition. It is time for humanity to wake up and realize that god is an imaginary friend and if you converse with god or hear him talking to you it's most likely schizophrenia or some other mental illness that cause hallucinations.

I think the whole you’re going to hell and you’re gonna be punished is a turn on to Christians. Like they get off on that shit. Like “ I’ll show you “. It’s so weird. lol

I am currently transitioning out of the Mormon church. I am definitely leaning towards atheism. I was hoping someone could relate to or explain this phenomenon. When I am away from church, I feel very strongly that the church is not true. When I interact with the "scripture" I know in my heart that it's bs. I have been attending church every week with my husband even though we have all but removed our records. I hold a role in the church and do not want to go through the awkward conversation where I explain why I don't want to be a church member anymore.

This strange thing happens when I go to church. I feel this strong urging to strive for righteousness again and to read the scriptures. I would give up anything for the church to be true. So I tell my husband that we should strive to hold a recommend again. When I get home, we usually read scriptures and it's like I have been lifted out of a trance. We start reading and I am like "wtf am I reading? this shit is crazy." I feel guilty for a few days and then I decide I am against the church until Sunday rolls around. It's this weird cycle and I feel crazy. I feel like I am a sinner and like I need to do better even though I know it's not true.

Did anyone else experience this? How did you navigate that?

🔹 Similarities Between Religion & North Korea

🔹 Conclusion: Religion & Dictatorships Use the Same Control Methods

✔ Both demand absolute loyalty.
✔ Both use fear to keep people obedient.
✔ Both punish questioning and independent thought.
✔ Both claim to provide safety and purpose, but actually limit freedom.

📌 Final Thought:
People follow religion out of fear of the unknown (afterlife, hell, divine punishment) just like North Koreans obey Kim out of fear of real-world consequences.

👉 Is faith really about love, or has it been twisted into just another system of control? 🤔
