What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

I AM God, though. I just don't feel the need to prove it to you. I mean, what kind of god is so insecure that he needs mere mortals to believe in his divinity?

If everybody is God, the no one is

I'm not your buddy, Guy!

Spoiler alert: we are.

[-] Tekchip@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is the core of my best mental argument against a god as described in the Abrahamic traditions. The tenants of god (fathomless love, omnipotent, knowing all history etc) are thrown out the window by the simple need/desire of a god to create other beings. The only motivation to do so means all those other things can't be true. Much less visit the atrocities documented in the books on those creations. It's literally over when it started with that derivation of a god.

Paradoxically, the existence of atheism memes proves there is no god because what kind of god would allow atheism memes to exist. Atheism memes are like killer bees, they are very rarely fun.

[-] titan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

As a god, fyi, I simply find y'all arguing over our existence and nature to be amusing

Ha ha ha.

There, proof that we are amused.

Well shit, he got us there. Checkmate Atheists, ig.

I'm here for the cosmic horror. Insignificance and our brief flash of life and awareness before we burn out is far more terrifying than anything Lovecraft ever imagined.

If you don’t like atheist memes, why are you taking time out of your day to stop and comment in a Lemmy instance literally called “atheistmemes”? Slow day at work? Here's a tip: There's probably plenty of Lemmy communities you have no interest in, and some you may even actively dislike, so when you come across a post like that in your feed, you can totally just keep scrolling! Try it out sometime, it isn't hard at all! Better yet, you can simply not subscribe to it, and only show communities you're subscribed to in your feed! Cheers!

That's.... Not really how this whole thing works... I'm not sure if you've noticed the rather public platform you're on?

[-] not_a_dog@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What does the fact that it's public have to do with anything? It's just basic netiquette. For example, I don't care about My Little Pony, so you will never see me going into !mylittlepony@lemmy.ml, or whatever, and saying something like, "My Little Pony sucks... See ya, guys!"

[-] WilliamTheWicked@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Netiquette? Have you been on the internet? You're giving me a high school vibe here.

[-] not_a_dog@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol, yes, I realize I am showing my age and that is a very old term that isn't widely used anymore, but it doesn't detract from the point I was making. Just because it's very common to be rude online doesn't mean we shouldn't at least attempt to be less so.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

A less absurdist challenge (not saying appeals to absurdity are bad) is to suggest that in fact Poseidon rules from the sea ( Ia! 🐙) and governs the Olympians, but it was Kronos who crafted from aether and kaos (Starring Jeff Goldblum) the silvery egg from which Phanes was born, and They, in turn, begat the universe we know today.

And this creation story was known before Adonai and His Mesopotamian ancestors were around so it has seniority. Ask them to disprove this.

I remember highschool

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

But you just admitted there is a god. You checkmated yourself.

[-] Philo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

God is an atheist.
