People just need security. P.S. Jesus was just a philosopher.
I hate talking about religion, but when someone brings it up, I just have to ask:
Q. “How did we get here?”
A. “God created us.”
Q. “How do you know?”
A. “You just have to believe.”
Q. “How was God created?”
A. “We don’t know, you just have to believe.”
Q. “Why cant you just believe that we formed ourselves somehow?”
A. “God created us, you just have to believe.”
Q. “Why is it that we have to create something to believe in (God), instead of just believing that we somehow ended up here?”
A. “Because that’s preposterous (haha). There has to be a God, a heaven, and a hell because otherwise I won't know what will happen to me when I die. It will also be harder for me to let go of loved ones, because without a heaven I won't be able to meet up with them again eventually. Also, if there isn’t a hell then I’ve wasted my whole life being good when I could have had more fun. But don’t worry, you’ll never change my mind because just like all religious people, I’m as biased as politically correct extremists and Michael Moore combined.”
Q. “Why can’t you just be your own God and make decisions like the difference between right and wrong for yourself? I was just asking a question, I wasn't trying to change what you believe. P.S. Fuck people trying to press their beliefs on me, especially the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Believe in God if you want, I just don’t like that the only argument for God being real is that ‘you just have to believe.’”
P.P.S. This conversation has actually happened to me a few times, with the exception of the last two comments. The last two comments were just how I think the conversation would go if people actually told the truth.. and if people actually said preposterous in normal conversations. Oh and "politically correct extremists" is just a term I used for the type of people that get mad when I say the word gay in any context. You can't reason with those people.
If you have a better argument, comment.
