I’m a single developer and I use it. It’s a great way to backup your files on the cloud with versionning.

So a useless definition then… Got it…

Yeah! Nobody uses CRT monitors anymore.

If you say so…

I can’t refute what hasn’t been proven…

I know all the arguments, probably better than you know them yourself. I was curious, investigated, saw nothing there that wasn’t obviously wishful thinking.

I have no interest in deconverting anyone, just to make sure we aren’t mischaracterised by the faithful (which we are all the time).

God is a subject. Is he good? If so, how would you know?

Morality is an evolved trait they also can find in other apes on a different scale.

Isn’t sin by definition offence against a God? The way I understand it christians see God as the ultimate authority. Like a father to a son. It makes sense given the fact that we are raised in an authocratic environment. I guess my point is when someone doesn’t believe in the concept of God, good and evil as an authority is nonsensical. Eutyphro dillema and all that.

If you want to understand an atheist then you need to understand this first. If you mostly care for the carrot and sticks of your particular religion then I understand why you aren’t motivated towards having a productive conversation.

All God that is defeatable on the mind of a believer is a strawman God, as for it being the God of Christianity^TM well that’s a whole other can of worm.

A lot of what I’m talking about gets lost in translation and the way you equate sin with evil shows how we need a better way of communicating than church words if we want to have a better conversation.

I guess the best way to present it is that if you think the Christian God is a good God then he’s not showing it in the reality we can experience.

I agree, I usually keep to myself but I sort of hoped lemmy could do better than other social media in criticism of religion. But no it’s still the same strawmanning that they do in religious circles towards us. I feel that it vindicates the religious that when they come here, all they see are very bad arguments against their belief system.

I hope they criticize the idea of a good God commiting or letting people commit such atrocities when an alternative is available.

I can only speak for myself because atheism doesn’t inform you much about one’s belief system but the problem of evil expressed well my issue with the idea of a good God being more than apish fabulations. And to add to this point, religious people who died despite praying and living under the covenant aren’t able to witness the futility of the practice, only the few who survived do so.

This is cringeworthy, but then most Internet atheists are.

(And I’m an atheist just not the reddit type)

People get mad when God waits to punish evil then get mad when He actually does it.

Never happened, nothing to be mad about. If you mean as an hypothetical scenario where a God exists and he punishes evil then I’m not sure people would get mad, unless they’re evil themselves.

Preaching to the choir.

Can’t wait for the fast-track curriculum to create productive warehouse worker sponsored by Amazon!

With such courses as

• Peeing in a bottle
• Talking your family out of taking vacation days
• The nightmare of unionization and job loss

Such a great future ahead 😃👍

UI programmers! Take notes!

His kills are serialized.

But who will think of the shareholders!!!

I think we should learn from that. Maybe all forms of power solely resting within the governing function invites corruption.

I haven’t given up yet on it because capitalism is definitely not working right now but there is a form of communism that you can have an informed and rational fear of.

I was amazed when I visited a plywood factory and they made straight cut at an angle so they dont have to stop the wood from moving through the line.
