I have a question, when is someone believe in something superhuman a religion?

because if 1 man believes something like an invisible man controlling the world he is crazy.
if a couple of guys do it they are a bunch of idiots.
if around 50 or more its a cult.
even more its a dangerous ideology and even more and its a religion.

at what point is a religion not a bunch of crazy people and turns into a religion.

God is not a man, no one controls this earth but us. It is only the earthly disasters which will stop us.

what ? he made us? its like a child making little characters of Lego pieces and the one is evil and the one good the one the villain the other the hero. he chooses. you say he makes everything. so he is what's wrong with the universe

i'm a saying a soldier in an army might fight and you could say he is evil but actually saying that hitler is behind him and is saying if you don't kill i will kill you. and since we have a living instict we woudn't want to die and it would be useless he would try (hitler ) until he finds someone who kills.

what i mean is that its not the guy who shoots its the guy who controls if its the guy who shoots yes ok but if its an army 1 guy isn't evil its the commander.

i'm a guy who is autistic, became fat because i'm a stress eater because my dad alwsays yells and i 'm afraid of him since i was small.

i was bullied my entire life my spirit is broekn i would kil lanyone in my path right about now if my soul wasn't broken. and your saying i need to listen to some hypocritical god who made the world and also evil then didn't stop us from eating the apple and doesn't give us back heaven because 2 people somewhere in the past fucked up? we need to have the consequences. i meean if thats what your saying then it means my struggles my mental illness is his fault you cannot try make me faithful.


i'm sorry but you are saying if nothing ever happens that bad and it all falls in your lap then i would believe because then i wouldn't be angry at him.

you see my problem with what your saying?

Look if you choose not to believe it's on you, I know it's hard for you to understand. God is simply a higher power than we can't comprehend, but he is not of evil and wishes no evil on his creations.

And I agree, a man is not evil if he is commanded to shoot by someone who controls him, if he is scared for his life, he is not a true sinner if he knows and repents what he did. If he has a consciousness.

My partner had PTSD, got shot three times when he was just protecting the border and took a long time to recover, he shot people out of defense too. I too suffered from bullying all my school life and injustice, but I never gave up hope. I had many failed suicide attempts, often in a coma for days, but I knew that if I couldn't make my own life better, maybe I should help those around me, to feel some sort of self worth. And I did find peace from it, I found many wonderful people.

I lost my father to a heart attack and my brother to suicide, I know this pain is real, but if you choose to consume the darkness within you it will eat you up. We can make a difference in our own life, my partner was also very poor (poor as in, his parents couldn't even buy him shoes, he comes from a 3rd world country) and bullied as he was young, but he found ways to be successful.

We all go through sufferings, but we can overcome them. For me and him it was faith, god is our hope. What you choose to believe is on you. I don't try to convince you to follow my view, since I also found my believe on my own.

Having faith means dedication to life and loving each other, even when it seems impossible at times. Hope that helps somehow.

i can comprehend it you just see his hypocrisy as a gift. my dad is the same he called me scum because i have a mental illness he said i was trash but he said i'll live with you becasue i have too because your my son. and everyone was like ooh so sweet. thats you, and believers you say ooh so sweet of god while he is horrible as fuck.

yeah that might be good that you found wonderful people i'm not saying thats it.
but the ptsd the shooting. god lets this happen?

that might not be the trouble you could have 70 years of a horrible life and then become successful. but those 70 years this is what gods alows and i woudn't have a problem with it. but you are saying he made everything including satan or lucifer and the tree and the apple.

well i at least thank you for not forcing anyone. i love that you want to help people but the only way i survive is getting power from the darkness at the end of my life when i will die and thats it. nothign more. but at least forcing no one is wonderfull.

well i can give hope too but not by saying some magical being is out there but because i'm around them and i will help them and any of their friends will.

Maybe the world is like a program.
Some hack it and could levitate.
Others hack it and made cellphones and technology

Masters turn objects into another etc.

But on the basis of physics and common sense. There is a God that made a self running program.

Something like Windows 10..mac..etc

lol yeah that might be it :) sounds like a fun theory tho :)
Once political correctness doesn't allow you to insult such a large group of people and/or their beliefs become credible enough that there is at least some evidence for it
