@Elessar Whichever one is your preference.

@Elessar Eric Cantona - sorry he was the King

@Nimbus The only supernatural entity I would worship is the beauty of my partner, partner that doesn't exist at the moment so I guess I'm an atheist 🤪
Nimbus · M
@nedkelly You're thinking of Eric Clapton 😛
@Elessar
Which god?
Our Lord, the Flying Spaghetti Monster of course. What other gods are there?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@NortiusMaximus I challenge anyone to find a more delicious deity
@Elessar r'Amen, brother.

@Elessar God gives you your food! If you worship food then that will be your destruction and you will go hungry one day. God takes away from us what we worship more than him. Be careful!
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa Should I care? If so, he's starving to death millions of children in Africa, and they probably worship him more than I ever did. Such a deity - if existent - has zero credibility. And won't get my support with threats, either.

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

@Elessar "My own will never beg for bread"
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa Yet his own are not only begging for bread, but also systematically dying before their 10th birthday for the lack of any.

@Elessar I gave over $500 this month, and last, the month before that, and EVERY month to 4 agencies and churches Do you?
Many of the poorest nations are not Christian even when they say they read the Bible, but they also praying to witch doctors! That will bring curses on them!
God promises to bless us if we put him first.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa I can donate to charity without the need to brag about it on social media.

Many of the first world nations where almost virtually no one is starving to death aren't Christian either, mine is a pretty good example. Yours, too. Rather, a much bigger slice of the population used to starve to death when the country *was* Christian, prior embracing secularism. It's almost like the two things are completely unrelated at best, or that the relationship is the exact opposite of the one you're suggesting, where the more religious a country is, the poorer its population become.

Besides, a god that threatens to starve you if you don't blindly follow him and eat his sh+t isn't worth worshiping, in my book. That's literally the textbook definition of coercive control / abuse.

@Elessar Just curious how much do you really care about people, or is it just a bad argument for your unbelief? How much did you give this month? How much did you give last month? and the one before to feed the people in Sudan?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa As I stated, I don't have to disclose my finances to you, nor feel any urge to brag about it on social media.

“So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full." (Matthew 6:2)

The one who has bad arguments and is attempting to deviate from the main talking point isn't me here, also.
Carazaa · F
@Elessar So basically you are all talk and no action! You gave nothing at all is my guess, just bought nice meals for yourself! OK I see! I am not just talk I try to DO what God tells me to do, I give every month to help the world, so stop making excuses and stop attacking God. He is loving and he gives abundantly to all who put him first!!
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa Nice strawman, I suggest reading Matthew 6:2 (which I quoted) again and again until the message is clear. I also suggest not deviating from the main talking point, as it's rather hypocritical and pathetic.
Carazaa · F
@Elessar Please give today to all the starving people in the world instead of making excuses why you don't worship God!
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa Please answer today to the main point that was being discussed, instead of making pathetic attempts at drawing the attention away from the fact that people die of starvation mostly in countries that aren't secular. Or the fact that a god that threatens to starve you to death if you don't follow him blindly deserve no worshiping, by anyone sane enough and capable of free will.

Also, re-read Matthew 6:2 another time.
Carazaa · F
@Elessar Wrong again! I am a testament to loving God and I am not lacking one thing! Proved you wrong again! Just a warning, pro tip; you worship spagetti and you will not have any spagetti in the future to eat at all if Gods word is true and it is, I have tested it!
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa What's the part of a god that threatens to starve you to death if you don't follow him blindly deserve no worshiping, by anyone sane enough and capable of free will that you have a problem understanding?

No, you haven't proven absolutely anything. You're just annoying me with your ultra-religious terroristic propaganda.
Carazaa · F
@Elessar We are not discussing your opinion of God, we are discussing poverty! God is clear! "My own will never beg for bread"
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Carazaa No, we're not, we're discussing the (non) existence of any god. You may want to re-read the opening comment you're replying under. For your convenience:
Which god?
Where do you see any reference to poverty in it?

Poverty was referenced only when you've threatened me of starvation if I don't worship your beloved god, to which I invited you to see how well he's treating (assuming he even exists) children who worship him in Africa, in that regards. And the observable fact that people die of starvation in religious countries significantly more than they do in secular first-world countries.

Then you've started deviating and putting up a bragging sh*tshow, in clear antithesis with the teachings of your beloved bible, in particular Matthew 6:2

@nedkelly He is the KING! He always will be. His kingdom will have no end.

@Elessar
Don't tell me I never warned you about spagetti 😂
