Do you think humans evolved over time into what we are today? Or do you think we were always as we are now?

I know. I was just using it as an example. I see. Thank you for explaining. Given that he is invisible to you, and doesn't speak to you directly, how do you know that your prayers are not in vain?

If I believed it in my heart it to be the truth, then yes, I would die for it. I would not knowingly die for something I didn't believe to be the truth. That being said, people martyr themselves fairly often in the Islamic community. What they believe in is false, but they don't see it that way...

People can't die for a work of fiction that they believe is true? Fair enough. But does he speak back? At the end of the day, if it's just you talking, how do you know you're not just talking to yourself?

Thank you all for the warm welcome. :)

The eternal question to my grandparents...

Yes, I think that's fair. Yes, the gospels. Who wrote them? Based on what I've read, most of them, if not all of them, were written decades after the crucifixion of Christ by anonymous writers. So, how do we verify what is being said is true or not? Because the events that occurred during the...

But nothing that we can test scientifically. Most of it is heresay or third person accounts of events that happened decades prior to being written down. That's the case with the gospels. So, really, it comes down to whether you believe those stories or not. I don't think so. Yes, I think so...

In what ways? In the Old Testament, God communicated with human beings verbally. Why is that not the case today? Because I think the atheists, despite what they may say, don't want God to be real. It certainly can be. Well, that's easier said than done. There isn't a whole lot of evidence to...

I think personal relationships require two way communication. But God doesn't communicate with us. So, I don't think it's a real relationship that people are experiencing. I don't really have any. That's the downside to not being religious. I'm open to the idea of God existing, but I find it...

Well that's the thing. If God does exist, I can't imagine him engaging in things like genocide or feeling human emotions like anger, jealousy, etc. It's just not in line with a supreme being that knows everything.

Does anyone else feel a sense of dread? It's kind of like this undercurrent. Subtle, but it's there. It's like there's something wrong in our society, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

I would so play this version of Monopoly. XD

I would suggest disconnecting from all that stuff and looking inward. Focus on the things you can control. If you're socially awkward, talk to people more. Get out of your comfort zone. All those red pill guys are full of crap. Guys like Andrew Tate? He has a really big mouth and a very tiny brain.

Hi there. My name is Riven. I enjoy discussing philosophical topics and all sorts of other things. Spirituality, I'm basically an agnostic. I enjoy talking with Christians about their faith, God's nature, and such. Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to getting to know...
