Oh an intresting thread!
I'm very much against all forms of religion. For me, religion is just a powertool, a tool to brainwash people, a tool to force people out of money.
The lack of hiding behind the claws of "It's gods will" etc. is such a bad excuse for a despicable behaviour from a lot of people.

heh, dum religion people....didnt u no? bad things happen, so relgion r false!!!

This has been like the primary go-to argument of clowns and I've never understood it. Do any religious texts for the major religions say that their deity is supposed to be a super hero who saved literally everyone and prevents nothing bad from happening? I don't think I've read that anywhere but people seem to keep arguing points against such a non-existent line.

I don't know man, Christians really have a fetish with a guy trying to save everyone. Turning water in to wine, walking on water, respawning a few days after death etc. Kind of sounds like a superhero no?

I don't remember Jesus being the guy who was supposed to perform miracles for every single person in the world. Can you point out the texts that say that? So far it seems like your issues with religion stem from dumb religious people than it does the religion itself, which is pretty silly.

because you are believing in things that does not exists
science explains everything
Prove to me you objectively exist. I'll wait.
Also Christians have contributed a lot to science there bud. Check out some of the links in this video.

Not dumb people but ignorante people. He also did a miracle in the world, he died for our sins right? That's pretty miracle to say the least.

Also this quote kind of fits for a reason

The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation

I would like to take a moment here and quote this and put it in the OP to show how stupid you are. The best comeback you have to a reasonable argument is a meme that died years ago because you can't defend yourself.

Science can't explain everything (not yet anyways). There are some things that we just don't know.

As many people know. I am a devout Christian. In regards to religion, I dislike what it stands for. That may come as a surprise but let me explain. Religion throughout the ages has been about following rituals to appease a god(s) and more importantly, avoiding Hell. Christianity in it's purest form is about love. You form a bond with God, not so you can get to heaven, but because you want to be in that relationship with a God who loves you and will hold on to you. The thing with Christianity is that most people tend to pick and choose what to believe from the Bible (which is wrong). Some "Christians" think they should love God and hate other people which is very incorrect. That's why I'm hesitant to describe myself as "religious". Christianity is about love and that's why I'm part of "the Lord's army" (see: common Sunday School songs).

Maybe because there has yet to be definitive proof that God exists.
No one can say he does or doesn't but the universe certainly didn't come from nothing because the laws of existence and how things work had to be there to dictate something could happen. Of course this begs the question who created god and why? I was raised as a Christian but i've kinda drifted into the whole idea we are a simulation or not having a religion at all and just saying i believe in A GOD but i dont think any religion is 100% accurate

There is this wonderful thing called a Neural Network system that is used in AI that learns from example.

There is no way to objectively prove you exist without showing yourself to us in person, shaking hands with us, and having a discussion. Try all you want.

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
