GoldenWolf Posted July 22, 2013 #26 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Who knows, maybe I will end up like Winston Smith and profess my love for God, just like millions of people succumbed into. You mean subjugated right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all are insane, Ron. Why would you do that? It really hard fight the indoctrination of religion in our society imposes on us, but It can be done if that is really what you want to do. You must decide that for yourself. Whatever blows your hair back, so says the Hippie Druid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaperS_ParadoX Posted July 22, 2013 #28 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Do you believe in the existence of the devil, I'm assuming if you believe in god you believe in the devil. So do you believe that the devil exists?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpee Posted July 22, 2013 #29 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Be moral. Be ethical. Be compassionate. Be considerate to fellow lifeforms. Be kind to the nature. Be altruistic and egalitarian. Don't be selfish and greedy. Always act on moral ground. That's the ultimate rebellion against God, who created us to watch us suffer for entertainment. That's not rebellion against God. Have you even read any holy book before? God likes submission. He wants you to do whatever he says. Being altruistic is the perfect way to get someone to submit because with altruistic you are putting others before yourself. Your self becomes less importance and it is also about self sacrifice, so God would love something as slave-minded and hurtful as altruism.

ambelamba Posted July 23, 2013 Author #32 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Sigh....I finally realized something. I decided not to fight back. I realized that you don't have to love God to submit to him. If you live in North Korea and live under Kim Jong Un, do you have to love him to obey him? Obviously not. You know, my belief that God himself is malevolent is not changed. But I won't fight him no more. I came to realize that God and Devil are simply one and the same a long time ago, but I didn't want to give into the ugly truth. I was wrong. The Old Testament of the Bible holds some truth. An awful truth. The Demiurge that rules this world is exactly like the God of OT. And the bad news is that there's no good guy out there. I feel for Satanists who rebel against God. But I gotta tell you that it's a futile fight. The ugly and evil world is exactly what God wants. And the chosen few rule this world are the beloved servants of God. (yes, I read that new Jim Marrs book. I never liked Marrs but I really don't care if what he claims is really true.)

Exactly, and any good people who even try to say a word are immediately squashed like bugs by the religious mainstream, it's disheartening, people want to worship someone like Emperor Palpatine.

ambelamba Posted July 23, 2013 Author #34 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Actually I've been reading comments on Book of Job in some Korean internet community (a very big one). Seems like everyone in the board loves to bash the Book of Job, being majority of young Korean men are very anti-Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaphod222 Posted July 23, 2013 #42 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Why would god create a planet and people just to see them suffer, I mean it makes absolutely no sense to me It doesn´t. But as Ron shows, it is hard to get rid of the indoctrination. Even while he is "rebelling" against the Spaghetti Monster, he is still totally obsessed by it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you be sure it's just the indoctrination and not a part of yourself telling you there's something inadequate with pragmatism?

It is every where, you are bombarded with from TV, friends, school, Internet, stores...there is no escape. Once you're brainwashed it is hard to undo it.

Mikko-kun Posted July 24, 2013 #45 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Is it still Jesus' fault or those fault who keep waving him? I can so much understand the antipathies those overenthusiasted Jesus-nuts (sorry Jesus) create, I have no words to describe their stupidity there. It's all the more sad when I think there's good stuff in the bible, though I ain't a christian. Must be one of the world's most dogmatized, bashed and abused (by their practitioners) things on this earth. The reason, I think on both sides, both sceptics and believers, is because they take it so literally and try to make their point through "because it was so before, because history tells us so". We can change history if we want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpee Posted July 24, 2013 #46 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Obviously God is not Satan. We can see through out many religions that they are two different things. The real question is what IS God reall, and what IS Satan really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambelamba Posted July 24, 2013 Author #47 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) I gotta say the same thing again. Maltheism is more openly discussed among Koreans than Americans. Maybe it's has to do with social and cultural difference. I am just one of many Korean men who contemplates on a malevolent deity. And, I decided to live with what I came to believe. What can I do, fight God? I came to realize that I should just live with the ugly reality, submitting to the entity that has the complete control of this planet. EDIT: And when I decided to submit to the evil God, I finally found some inner peace. Edited July 24, 2013 by Ron Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beany Posted July 24, 2013 #49 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Why would god create a planet and people just to see them suffer, I mean it makes absolutely no sense to me It doesn't make any sense, no question. So what if there is no God? What would another explanation be about suffering, then, that leaves God out of it? Bu then there's the suffering business, too. Not everyone suffers all the time, there's a lot of love & joy in the world. Who creates that? Any is there any reason why we should reasonably expect to live lives without hardship or to think it should all be easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone suffers all the time, there's a lot of love & joy in the world. Who creates that? Why does there have to be a mystical creator? I have difficulties understanding why exactly the religionists find it so hard to free themselves of that irrational assumption.
