I used to believe when I was younger (thankfully stopped believing relatively early on) and in retrospect… yeah, it’s so fucking obvious that no god exists.
This post is so true. The only source is a book, literally nothing else. What makes it trustworthy? The fact that it’s thousands of years old and is still relevant? And literally nothing else? Also ignoring the obvious that any god existing is dumb as hell, if you just think about it for longer than two seconds. It’s a made-up human thing which is why there’s so many of them.
Also there’s many religions out there and, since they contradict each other, I’m supposed to only believe in one, which then I will trust with my life. But what is it that makes this one special? Why not believe in some other one? They all got the same amount of proof (0), and really the only reason I would pick one is my geographical location. Because some very powerful people, hundreds of years ago, decided to spread christianity in the then newfound continent in which I currently live and that’s pretty much it. Powerful people spreading it doesn’t make it any more true whatsoever, what if the only real religion is some extinct one from thousands of years ago and with a total all-time following of 100 people? How would I know? Either way I think all religions are dumb as heck
It’s all just a big “Trust me bro”. Perhaps some of the biggest lies in history…
The fact it’s so old makes it even funnier because it was clearly written by people who were considered smart at the time (maybe?) but clearly didn’t know dick all about how anything worked. Yet there’s still Bible literalists today, though even the ones that take it as metaphorical are IMO just in denial.
Even the philosophical stuff is undermined by the indoctrination shit, which is evident in the religious people who think there’s no reason to not do evil shit if religion is false. About a third of the ten commandments boil down to “respect mah authoriteh”.

Imagine accidentally creating a religion by lying that you didn’t have sex when you are pregnant.
And then having that act plagarized by a bunch of other later religions, including Christianity.
