Why can’t atheists and religious people mind their own business.

I’m going to threaten cancel culture on them, I’m Native American and some white male atheist told me to stop believing in the great spirit and nature I told them no it’s my culture, God is energy and we don’t believe god is some invisible man in the sky. We don’t believe God is a person or had a gender.

Personally I couldn't care less about what people believe in tbh. So long as THEIR belief does not interfere with MY life/country/politics.

There's no need of further explanations or attempts at evening things further.

I am glad you are proud of your Indigenous heritage and spirituality! And yes, a lot of argumentative atheists seem to assume that "God" means some old-man-in-the-sky that only the most naive Christians actually believe in. To me, a lot of how we express ourselves about what is really real, is symbolic or metaphorical. I think often atheists and people of faith would actually find they agree completely if they weren't each insisting on their own language and symbols.

@Ynotisay Atleast our Ancestors were more peaceful and more connected to nature before the Europeans came and almost killed all of us.

@Ynotisay Your ancestors killed my ancestors.

@Peaceandnamaste I didn't know there was a genocide committed against the troll people.

@QuixoticSoul comment deleted, I’m a proud Native American and I love my culture and white people can’t tell us that our culture is goofy.

God is energy and energy cannot be created or destroyed only transformed. You may die but your energy won't cease to exist.

The standard definition of God, “God is light,” is just a simple way of saying that God is energy. Electromagnetic energy. He is not a He but an It; a field of energy that permeates the entire universe and, perhaps, feeds off the energy generated by its component parts.”
— John A. Keel

And Native American cultures are not alone in those concepts. A lot of the New Age spiritual movements are also built on the concept that God is energy and within all of us, and it is up to us to find it and channel it.

Someone downvoted me again typical triggered Karens that hate me because I’m Native American and celebrating my culture. They must be Trump supporters.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Peaceandnamaste Nope. That was me.
ShadowSister · 46-50, F
When I was a conservative Christian, I used to think men like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris were dangerous for what they believed about religion. Now that I am an Exvangelical, I think that what they believe is way more dangerous because they refuse to challenge their cultural assumptions as straight, white, cis men.
Peaceandnamaste · 26-30, F
@Sharon Do you think Native American beliefs are bad?
Sharon · F
@Peaceandnamaste Not at all, quite the opposite in fact. They tend to be very much in tune with Nature.
@Sharon
They're dangerous to religion because they expose it for the sham it is. Organized religion is just a means of controlling and exploiuting gullible people.

This is part of the problem in atheist circles or at least the crowd determined to convert people. They conflate organized religion with spirituality in general and assume all theists subscribe to a cartoonism Judeo Christian cosmology and then proceed to attack their strawman.

@SW-User I'm telling you, this person is a right-wing lunatic impersonating a "leftist" as they perceive them.

@LordShadowfire I’m not a right wing lunatic, I’m an ultra Liberal.

Stop insulting my culture!!!!
Peaceandnamaste · 26-30, F
These Karens should mind their own business and leave our people alone. These are the same people who harass and call the police on black people having fun and having BBQs. We can’t have anything nice.
Peaceandnamaste · 26-30, F
I have 3 downvotes, so many racists on here.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@Peaceandnamaste Did it ever occur to you that people who disagree with you don't give a damn what race you are, they simply disagree? And what is more racist that your attacks on "white" people?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@ChipmunkErnie You're wasting your breath. Or I guess keystrokes.

A Typical Karen downvoted my page, must be a Trump supporter. If you’re white you can’t criticize a person from another race.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Peaceandnamaste · 26-30, F
Now there's 4 downvotes, White people gave us smallpox blankets now they want our cultures to die off.
If you think others believe in an invisible man in the sky, then you'll be more at home in the atheist camp

Peace - Some random nut job makes a stupid comment and your response is to threaten cancel culture on atheists and religious people?

May I suggest you cancel them individually, as they come along?

Atheists like to say they wouldn't have any complaints if Christians would stop proselytizing.
Sharon · F
@LordShadowfire I've never had Atheists accost me in the street or on my doorstep attempting to convert me to Atheism. In fact, I've never had anyone of any religion other than christianity do that.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Sharon I know, right? It's so funny.
@LordShadowfire And that’s mostly true. Only theists have shown up at my door with "a message", never atheists. Christians complain of being harassed when asked not to proselytize.
