10 Reasons Christians Believe in God

After
all, hundreds of millions of people claim some kind of experience with
the christian god, so do disbelievers discredit all of those experiences?
Well, to that logic, I would have to reply that if a christian is referring
to experiences (which are, in fact, nothing more than feelings), those
feelings (experiences) are better understood as emotions and thoughts
flowing from those emotions rather than real and tangible contact with
something that is real and existentially verifiable.
If
christians are referring to feelings, as invoked by thoughts directed
towards an imaginary being that is treated as the be-all end-all of life
by many promoting that concept, yep, that ideology is a self-perpetuating
meme simply because out of all the myths passed on from parents to children,
that one is unique in that
| 1)
it's given credit, with straight faces in all seriousness by folks
in authority, as being the kingpin in the area of all unknowns, the
creator of everything, as well as being given credit for being a watcher,
supporter of believers, doomer of naysayers, answerer of worthy prayers,
demander of worship, and yes, all these accolades are made with straight
faces in all seriousness by folks in authority, |
| 2)
it promises all good, |
| 3)
it threatens with power, |
| 4)
it promises immortality, |
| 5)
it threatens with hell and damnation if you don't follow it, |
| 6)
it's promoted in large social structures also used for friendships
/ contact with lovers-sexual partners and promotion of financial inter-dependence,
and it's intertwined with social goings on within secular myths, making
it difficult to separate the secular from the religious (especially
during Easter and Christmas in western cultures), |
| 7)
it's deviously called Truth and most people are quite confused by
the difference between Truth and truth, |
| 8)
it's promoted by an ancient book of suspension of doubt from which
people in authority pick and choose whatever they like in order to
continue human dependence on it, |
9)
it's promoted in large buildings with requirements for attendance,
submission, kneeling, canting, singing, sitting passively while some
authority figure says whatever he wants regarding invisible beings
/ concepts being real, with no skepticism, no criticism, no doubt,
no rational means and no logical means of dealing with that brainwashing
modality other than the thoughts you're able to construct during and
after the process ...
these large buildings are also used for mating rituals (marriage)
and death rituals (funerals) as well as a litany of other belief-promoting
adventures based on the proclivities of the particular faiths using
the large buildings which, despite their physical nature, are treated
as "holy / blessed by some of the imaginary beings" by folks in authority
with straight faces in all seriousness, |
| 10)
it is never revealed as a myth by most parents simply because most
parents were seduced into the myth in their childhood via methods
1 to 9 above and simply follow the pattern of brainwashing to their
children who continue the process when they grow up ... |
