Not mad and respecting your choice to believe in what you want, but there is zero evidence that there is any form of deity as well

That really just depends on what you take as evidence, there are millions, probably billions of people who believe in a higher power, tons of writings, modern and ancient of Gods influence since the beginning of earth, and even plenty of people who testify that they have seen God. All of that in my opinion could be taken as evidence.

Stop focusing on physical forms though. Not about one thing or God as a "he". It's about how everything connects. And there are infinite more personal experiences supporting than there is evidence against too

And also not to mention the parallels between all world religions and life and psychology. There are "trinitys" everywhere.

By that logic, Pastafarianism has been right all along!

Praise the all-mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster! He is Risen!

Born and raised Catholic and it has just helped me grow as a person. I didn't ever get into my faith until high school where we have youth group requirements for confirmation. Before that I hated church but it was because it thought it was boring, but I never really payed attention or listened. However after learning what we are all about, I learned how to truly love people and respect them. Even if the whole religion thing was a hoax, it still feels a lot better to be the bigger man in a situation and not use people aka following the commandments. Plus there are certain miracles that just can't be explained.

I also grew up in a catholic family. It did teach me how to treat people in a caring and loving way, but eventually I got to the point where I said, fuck it, I don't need a god to know that this is how to treat people. I also saw the contradictions. If a god is all knowing, he can't also be all good, or else he would stop bad things from happening. It's one or the other, otherwise history would be completely different. And what all loving and all knowing God would create paradise, but only let in 1/3 of humanity, while knowingly sending 2/3 to burn in a lake of sulphur and fire for all of eternity?
 
Telling people how religious I am makes people more likely to inherently trust me, it makes them easier to manipulate for personal, economic, or political gain. Amen.

I have no problem with your beliefs, You have the right to believe in whatever you want and if that helps you live a better life and that’s great. But you are trying to disprove other people’s own beliefs and u should just respect them and not try to persuade them towards your own.

. I used a lot of psylocibin I gotta add too, and that only enhanced what I saw in the patterns.

The first time I did shrooms I thought I was gonna change the world and I posted a bunch of fucked snapchat stories of me just saying a bunch of crazy shit. I even posted a thread on ns but it was fucked and I removed it hahahahahaha. But fr I completely agree w/ what you said, thats just how I feel, don’t let people get to you by not agreeing cause who gives a fuck really. At the end of the day we all die and if we go to heaven thats dope but if we don’t than we wont realize that we are dead anyways let alone if we ever even existed. Thats why I just live my life to the fullest and put out good vibes cause we will never know what happens till we dead. Also repect for putting your full opinion out there even tho nobody here knows you personally it takes some balls.

I think it more like reincarnation rather than heaven VS hell

I think heaven and hell are on earth and manifest through the combination of environment and immediate state of mind I feel like the way you live your life determines whether your reincarnation will be more with the main consciousness "God", which people might call 'going to heaven' or the less favorable opposite end of the spectrum. All my views on God are separate from the Bible. Even though I open my heart to that book and it's morals taught In some stories, I try to open my heart to everything equally.
 
I think the concept of there not being something beyond humans is just as ridiculous as the concept that that something fits any religion.
 
Well we were watching a movie about sleep paralysis/shadow monsters, and the common denominator is those who talk about the lord when they are being harassed by spirits are immediately left alone for good. I heard a similar experience from my mom. Also I was a fuckup (still am), but my family prays for me and my life has turned out quite well. Should have died once, we all have many near death experiences but there was this one time I really deserved it and only went to the hospital. My guardian angel had to have knocked me off my motorcycle at a low rate of speed at the optimum time before I could do real damage
