I was born and raised in a Pentecostal church and have heard people “speak in tounges” and “prophecy” my whole short life. Speaking in tounges in my opinions is just gibberish and anybody can do it while propheycing is not someone actually saying a prophecy but a person saying out loud what God had spoken to them. It is sometimes a promise like God would send healing to someone in the place, or that God is in this place and will send the holy spirit down. I for the longest time have been adamant on the point that God was speaking to them during the meeting but now just believe they convince themselves it’s God when it’s just themselves.
The first reason why I don’t believe in religion anymore is when I learned that different races have vastly different iqs and athletic abilities. Thus indicating that they are at different stages of some type of evolution. Why would god make some peoples less human and others more, if religion is a human concept which needs human thought and clarity to follow. It makes literally zero sense.
Another reason is that some people are born as inherently non religious. Psychopaths are literally hardwired to be evil while others are literally born without the cognitive abilities to understand anything about religion.
Another reason is that religions influences on the world is insignificantly small. The Jewish god literally started out as a tribal war god who claimed that his people would be an example to all the world. Even if the Israelites were able to conquer the whole western world. Millions of people still wouldn’t have even heard about heard or even cared about the Hebrew God. Christianity has also been around for 2,000 years and millions still haven’t heard about it. It wasn’t even close to being the worlds biggest religion for many of those years. Meanwhile the god up there has also let religions such as Islam which deny claims central to Christianity to gain at times even more followers than Christianity. Why would God allow religions which literally claim the central points of Christianity to be false to become that widespread? It literally makes zero sense.
I sometime ago read on here about how an Italian translator interpreted the Bible saying that humans were a creation of life from an alien species which lived for 1000s of years. Some of these aliens led different people groups and became known as Gods. I honestly believe this theory because it makes sense how the localized actions of the Israelites were driven by an alien and not an omnipresent God. If anybody can link me to articles about this theory, please do.
My friend, do you believe in speaking in tounges?
My friend, humans are the only animals on the planet that have the ability to comprehend religion. The differences in racial iq make it so that some races are more subhuman and animalistic than others, meaning that there culture will have a lot more violence and sin. This leads to some many troubles between races when they associate with each other thus making interracial connections very hard to establish. Why would the loving and caring god of the bible make intermingling between races hard because of hardwired differences if he all want us to be together. People literally have to cover up and lie about these racial differences so we can have some semblence of unity. The differences cannot be ignored and have created unfixable societal problems. This point alone makes me not able to believe in the God of the Bible.
My friend, the link you sent shows that some people are more inherently evil and less emotional than others, thus leading them to commit crimes that psychopaths commit. The fact that this is hardwired in there brain shows that they are born more sinful and therefore more non religious. Why would God make people mentally capable of committing such horrendous crimes. You also skipped over the point I made of some people existing who don't have the cognitive abilities to understand God. This point alone is enough to not make me believe in God.
God let diseases kill off 85%+ percent of the native americans without them hearing or caring about this so called omnipresent god. The fact that a omnipotent and omnipresent God let this happen disproves his religon to me. The Abrahamic Religions impact on the world is simply insignificant because millions have died without hearing about it, that is my point and im sticking with it.
Now you're moving the goalposts. You're basically claiming that all roads and religions lead to heaven as long as you do good actions. So I don't have to believe as long as I do good works?
Then what's the point of spreading the Gospel to every place on earth. Muslims have killed and persecuted millions of Christians who have refused to convert to islam, and vice versa. Islam has caused alot of division and always been a thorn in the religion that Jesus established. Why would God let such a religion take root. The fact that he did makes me not believe in him.
Yes, the bible i read told me that a tribe, that a lot of nations didn't know about at that time, was urged by a higher power to go take over a small plot of land in the middle east so that they could be an example to the whole earth. I know for a fact they would never be an example to the whole earth, even if they conquered the whole western world because millions all over the world still wouldn't have heard about the Israelites or God. The locality of these events lead me to believe they were led by advanced aliens and not a Omnipotent God. The differences in the genetic makeup of the races lead me to believe we are some sort of genetic experiment the aliens made.
Ok my friend, I guess lets agree to disagree. I just want to know if you believe in speaking in tounges and the gift of prophecy?
