More like our very existence as sentient, conscious creatures on a rock orbiting a star in the vast emptiness of space contained in a umiverse doesn't make sense in the first place, so any attempt to explain it would barely make sense anyway.

You may be right.

If a god does exist, then bad things are part of its higher morality, or evil design. If a god doesn't exist, then who cares? Why waste so much energy disproving its existence? Just ignore the crazy religious people, and try and help make the world better. Those people may waste time praying, or not doing anything to help suffering and then act high and mighty, but that will NEVER stop. Religion has and always will exist. It's a way for people to cope with their insignificance, cope with unfairness, and grapple with the concept of death and accepting its inevitablity. If you want to feel and be better than them by actually helping humanity go for it. But at the end of the day people can believe what they will and that's ok. But whether or not there is a god, despising or looking down on people for believing is just as productive as you believe praying is.

My point is that none of it makes sense. Our existence and consciousness in a vast universe doesn't make sense. So at the end of the day, who cares what someone else believes to cope with that? Bad shit happens, people will explain it was for one purpose or another, but at the end of the day bad shit just happens and we should do our best to stop it, regardless of whos fault it is.

It's so weird. Athiests claim to not believe in a god but then blame a god for when bad things happen, asking believers why their god would let it happen. Why do they care about what an imaginary god lets happen? Some sick fuck murdered a bunch of people, who gives a flying fuck what some random religon's god says about it?

You're missing my point. It doesn't matter. None of it makes sense. It makes just as much sense to believe in a god as it does to not believe in one, because at the end of the day it's about an individuals coping with the unfairness of life, the inexplicable natute of existence and consciousness, and the inevitability of death. It's about fulfilling an individuals need for purpose and place and whatever makes you most comfortable and gives you peace at the end of the day, fine. Trying to convince one another's personal fantasies for our purpose in life is like trying to prove someone's favorite food shouldn't be their favorite food. It's all personal.

So this kind of post confuses me. Who gives a fuck what people believe at the end of the day as long as it's not hurting someone else and it gives the person peace. If one person's beliefs don't make sense to you or bring you peace, then you should believe something else. I don't get this hating on believers or non believers. Who cares?

Sure, but the concept itself is that whatever entity it is knows better, so the fact you don't undetstand has a purpose in the entity's "grand scheme".

What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter because as humans we're all just trying to make sense of ourselves and our place in the universe. The fact we exist is perplexing, and however we decide to deal with that fact is up to each individual, and that's ok.

Or maybe they have an afterlife of imeserable bliss to offset the injustice they experienced in life. There can always be a different reason thought of, but to conclude to one or the other side is illogical. As humans we want to know definitively and either side accepts their position as truth because it's most comfortable. But in reality it's ok to accept people's beliefs one way or another because at the end of the day we're just trying to make sense of our illogical and improbable existence.

I think the fundamental issue with this is that it presumes that our understanding of morality is perfect. If an all-knowing, all-powerful God acted contrary to our understanding of morality, or allowed something to happen contrary to our understanding of morality it would make sense for us to perceive that as undermining our understanding of God, making him imperfect. An all-knowing, all-encomposing God may have an understanding that we as mortals are incapable of understanding or perceiving.

It presumes to know a perfect morality while also arguing that morality can be subjective. It doesn't make sense, just like an irrational belief in a God. I think the best way to go about this is to allow people to believe how they want and stop trying to convince people one way another about their beliefs. People get to believe differently and that is not wrong.

not despised, but i think the Apple Watch injunction really hurt them because it was around the holiday season. That, and the general consumer pretty much knew there wasn't anything new with the new iPhone that warranted an upgrade. Even my rich, boomer dad said he didn't see why it would be worth it to upgrade and he always gets the newest models.
