Hello. I'm a girl. My problem is that I don't believe there is a god (or other supernatural forces), but my mother is adamantly against it. He tells me "what an infidel you are", "it shouldn't be like that", "this is not right" and so on. I find the Bible and other religious things super weird. It's just like a joke everything in the bible. And now you believers will attack me immediately, but I will ask you one thing. How many of you have actually read the Bible? And how many of you would do it voluntarily, would you read with interest? Or do you just believe because it's "right" and because "everyone is for it"? I do not understand you. Do you seriously believe that there is a MAN in HEAVEN who created you, who looks at you, who "helps" you? You are mistaken. And yet I do not write because of my hatred of religions, and because of the problem with my mother. How can I explain to her that this is my choice and that it is right for me? n. s. - if you will hate me because of my choice, do not bother to comment at all;)

I fully support you, you don't have to believe. I also haven't read the Bible, I haven't been to church, and I don't agree with many things that are preached to us. But I've been quite interested in the subject, and I'm telling you that claiming you don't believe "that there is a MAN in HEAVEN who created you" is ridiculous, because you take things too literally and that's why it seems like a joke. The guilt is as much in you as it is in the way religions serve it. But there are supernatural forces (I know that, not because "it's accepted") and you have to be blind not to believe in them, or at least not to assume that the world around us is not just matter. We are not biorobots with artificial intelligence, but we are also a material reflection of certain energies. If you don't believe so much, read a little about science. You trust her. Read a little about quantum physics and you will understand that matter is in fact an illusion and practically does not exist. According to the latest experiments, atoms do not even behave like matter, but like waves of energy. And this is not a theory, but scientifically proven facts. This energy is influenced by the electromagnetic energy, which is released mainly by the heart during the manifestation of feelings. And when, as a result of feelings and emotions, the heart begins to release huge amounts of energy (and this can be measured with instruments), a change begins in this energy, which builds atoms and from there reflects on a material level. There was even an experiment. A woman was praying to God while she was dying. Then they measured the strength of the electromagnetic waves that were emitted. And they were so strong that the device did not have such a wide scale to reflect, and the arrow collided at the end of the scale. In reality, intensity cannot be measured, because we do not have such devices at the moment. Such waves are able to pass through the entire universe. This is the scientific explanation of these forces, in case you like the story of the white-bearded old man watching you from the sky. But everything is true, albeit presented metaphorically and veiled in symbolism. But you have to have a certain spiritual level to understand the essence. It may not be as it is described in the Bible, but to claim that there is no power at all is ridiculous, because we are not self-created after all. That's why you can't convince your mother, because she's more mature than you. I am not saying that blind believers are arched and understand things. Their faith is not knowledge, but artificially planted by society. They are not right, but neither are you. If you accept it blindly, you deny it blindly. It is the same, it is always ignorance. You don't think, you don't think, and you just accept by default. But you know, no one can blame you for that because you haven't reached that level. This is part of the universe. You only understand it when the time comes. It's like accusing a freshman of being stupid because he doesn't understand higher math. These things aren't written like that, if someone didn't have a job and said to themselves, "Let me write some nonsense now." This is knowledge accumulated over millennia. Some things are inexplicable for the authors themselves and that is why they wrote them in their own language. But there is truth in their words, which we must find for ourselves in our own language. There is no way to understand it in the language of another, because everyone refracts the truth through his own prism, but in essence we are all talking about the same thing. It is like an Italian and a Chinese speaking the same thing, but in different languages, and arguing over who is right.
If your mother wants to believe in Santa, it's her job. Just ignore her, I doubt she'll leave you alone.
Everyone should pray and believe, not be interested and put up with injustice, this is the game. For manipulating and confusing people! Many people have read the Bible, but not many, and the mass of believers do not step up to help someone in need, so you made a good choice. Don't let them fill your head with illogicalities. There are also good infidels.
It's stupid ... Just as you don't accept that your mother doesn't like your opinion, you insult others with "delusions". I wish you to find yourself somewhere in all the theories of humanity, but to be so good as to accept a different opinion. You are no different from your mother.
Think, if you think that there is no God, who created the first man?
Yes, I personally believe. This is my personal choice. You do not believe because this is YOUR isob, but this does not mean that you should immediately say who is deceived and who is not. Everyone decides for himself;)
Everyone has the right to decide what to believe and what not-I believe. I have judged so and what is wrong? Even if I'm deluded ... Am I the deluded, aren't you? :) Otherwise, I agree that everyone has the right to decide for themselves. There is no way he can force you ..
First of all, I doubt that you are the one who will determine who is deceived and who is not. Emmy, what can you explain to her ... she can stick to her own forever. Don't pay attention to her that much;)
Of course, the religious are quite deluded! Read Dawkins, or at least read the Bible you worship carefully! It says that the earth was created before the sun, and all the other stars were built "to shine"! The Bible is a collection of all kinds of nonsense! Read the book Funny Bible, the author in a very funny way mocks the phantasmagoria he writes in the Bible.
Religions are psychological pacifiers for unthinking beings, exploiting human weaknesses, fears, illiteracy and prejudice. God is an illusion. Invented in order to fill the gaps of knowledge, turned by smart people into a tool for controlling the masses.
Well done to the first comment that explains so well! I hadn't seen anyone speak so intelligently in a long time. As for the topic, he said everything he should :)
Until the eighth .... and who created God ??? who created matter, who created everything? It would be very foolish to think that man came out of nowhere ... every living thing on this earth came from something microscopic ... if you tell me who created God, I can believe that he exists ....
They said you can't believe in one and not in the other. Yes, but I don't believe much about gentlemen either, but I do believe in supernatural things, such as magic (of course, only if they are from Latin). Great job not believing? We should not judge people by this :). Your mother will get used to it if you don't sit down and talk!
And you take everything very deep ... Just don't pay attention to what these unnecessary dramas are for?
You are not dealing with fabrications correctly. Let your mother say what she wants. Be free and live your life! Let others read the nonsense written in the bible and trust them unconditionally and avoid contact with such zombies!
Girl, listen ... Your mother needs to feel that you carry "faith" and the good in you. Because if we leave aside Creation, in the end the Bible is a very wise book, full of stories from which we can learn. It is true that some of the facts inside are distorted, as it has been copied many, many times, but we must think about this in order to sift the useful for us from the chaff. Sometimes you need to show empathy, or just not deny it to your mother, because faith and goodness are the things that still keep this world alive. Of course, everyone chooses what to believe. In my opinion, things have a completely scientific explanation, and everything we still do not understand, we call "divine". God is faith in you. He doesn't have to be a "man in heaven." It's a fact, that religion and faith have been used for a very long time as an instrument of power over people. But now we live in other times. I think you need to read a little more, to enrich your worldview so that you can look at things more philosophically, and not so literally. There is nothing stopping you from praying sometimes or lighting a candle - sending good thoughts to someone. It doesn't have to be "Lord." Just a prayer for someone who needs help, or for the health of you and your family. Because everything around us, and ourselves, as well as our words and thoughts are invisible energy. Maybe one day everything will be scientifically explained, but for now, while we are still living shrouded in mystery, let us believe. Because in difficult moments, in hopelessness, during illness and war, only faith is what sustains us, faith is our only possibility. If you lose your faith, you lose your life. For this next time, without having to become a nun or shout Hallelujah! around the house, just hug your mother and show her that the flame is burning in you too.
To number 2: congratulations on what you wrote! It had never occurred to me soon to see that there was someone who had gone to the deeper layers of life.
I am number 2. In support of the above, I thought of another example. This is a real story. A ship sinks in the middle of the ocean. Several people managed to escape on a lifeboat. They stay on the boat for days, but salvation never comes. They begin to thirst wildly, but they have no drinking water, no food. They cannot drink ocean water because it is salty and - who does not know - causes painful death due to the excessive amount of salt it causes in the body. After 3-4 days, people are so thirsty that they reconcile. At one point in their despair, spontaneously, almost without even realizing it, they begin to pray and imagine that the water is actually sweet. Then one of the shipwrecked people could not resist the temptation and decided to drink ocean water. And he is surprised to find that the water around them is sweet. Then everyone gets drunk and saves themselves. After a few more days, they were rescued. Then they tell the story, but no one believes them. Scientists are showing interest and starting research. There is actually no trace of salt in their bodies. Then they start experimenting with the structure of water molecules. Water is actually made up of groups of molecules. After experiments, they see visually with special microscopes how the molecular structure of water changes as a result of the thoughts and feelings of others. Those who do not believe, there are pictures of water molecular groups on the net, can check. When people around the water experience positive emotions, when they pray, the groups become like crystals, transparent, beautiful, symmetrical, like snowflakes. When they experience negative emotions, the groups become shapeless, black or brown, ugly. Another piece of evidence that our emotions, our feelings, our isles are not only in us, but they radiate energy around, affect matter. And the other thing I wanted to say is that religion is often misunderstood by people, so today it divides more than it brings people together, but it's because of people, not religions. In the beginning, religions were created to teach us a healthy life (fasting), humility, kindness, understanding, compassion, respect, mutual aid. Another issue is that it is used as a means of manipulation by politicians, priests, terrorists, mobsters and others. Examples: Cosa Nostra and others. criminal unions, sometimes the church, some sects, terrorist organizations, some Roman emperors, the media, and so on. that religion is often misunderstood by people, so today it divides more than it brings people together, but it is because of people, not because of religions.

Up to 25: Read here about the great prayer experiment: http://www.fortisimo.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1779:ne-si-gubete-vremeto-v-molitvi&catid=46:tova-e- lichno & Itemid = 90
Number 2 is actually at the lower level and it is necessary to grow intellectually and read a little scientific literature in order to realize and not talk nonsense. And the force you are talking about is not one, but 4 - gravity, electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear interaction. They may have been reunited in the first pico or femto seconds after the Big Bang, but that will be clear later.
Imagine a world in which there is no mention of religion. In that case, there should be no such things as the Batak massacre, the suicide bombers, September 11, July 7, the Crusades and the witch hunt, the Gunpowder Conspiracy, and the Indian caste system; there would be no Israeli-Palestinian wars, massacres in the former Yugoslavia, pogroms against Jewish "Christ-killers" and Northern Irish infighting; slogan: "God wants you to give until you get sick!" By the same logic, there would be no Taliban blowing up ancient statues, public punishments for sinners, and no one would whip women for showing a few inches from your skin.
Come on, you got into a fight over religion again! The only way to end this dispute successfully (and not after the fatigue of one of the parties) is for both sides to give up people's favorite arrogant thinking "how deluded you are only ...! (And how enlightened I am)" and even then write here again. While almost everyone here (fortunately there are some exceptions) looks at the other as a naive person and haho or Thomas the Unfaithful with the presumption of their own right and irreplaceability, at most to offend aimlessly for days / months / years, but you will not something useful, and what is left for the chances to answer the author, who by the way suffers from the same thinking? Is it that hard to decide (applies to both sides, please!), that the other may have the right to just talk like rational and thinking beings? If you are insulted and humiliated by someone, there are stadiums where you can even be a hero, if you are arrogant and do not see beyond your nose - no matter what you see (Lord in heaven or yourself as a deity against the background of the lost )!
Number 2, why don't you try a glass of water and a little salt? Pray as much as you want and see if you find it sweet after that. I do not believe in such writings on the Internet. There were pictures. : D In Photoshop everything is there.
От номер 2 33, при мен може и да не стане (и най-вероятно няма), защото не съм в това положение, което са били хората. Едва ли ще мога да преповторя силата на тяхната емоция в този момент. Те са били отчаяни, страхували са се за живота си. Аз няма как изкуствено да се почувствам така. Колкото до вярата ти ти имаш право да (не) вярваш, уважавам това ти право и не те съдя за това. Дори и ти да ме съдиш за мнението ми, аз пак не те съдя, че ти ме съдиш. Просто всички изразяваме мненията си тук. И знаеш ли защо не съдя никого за нищо? Защото всъщност всички сме прави. Няма една истина. Истината е многопластова. От там нататък всеки си има свое съзнание. На едни съзнанието стига само до първия пласт и твърдят, че истината е една (а именно първия пласт), на други стига до втория, на трети - до 20-тия и т. н. Ето защо всъщност знанието е незнание. Тези с по-тясното съзнание, мислят, че знаят цялата истина, понеже и не подозират, че има и други пластове. А тези с по-широкото съзнание просто не знаят, защото колкото и да знаят, те са наясно, че има още много пластове отвъд тяхното съзнание, макар да не са достигнали до тях. То няма и как да достигнат, защото техният брой клони към безкрайност.
It won't happen because you won't lose your mind from thirst. If there was anyone normal in the boat when they drank the sea water and thought it wasn't salty, he would feel it salty. A dehydrated brain does not think correctly. Their test was invalid because there was no control group of healthy people to try the water.
35, dehydrated or not. Salt is salt. Even if you are unconscious, if I pour you ocean water, you will throw the cannon quite quickly. Apparently it wasn't salty water then. And you can't know the scientists better, and I have no intention of having stupid conversations. Even if I convince you what I will achieve? I already told you - if you don't believe, don't believe, it's your job. Why you need to convince me, I do not understand. Is it a problem for you if I believe or should I and everyone else be like you? Give us the right to be different. If we were all the same, it wouldn't be good. If everyone was good at making bread, who would grow wheat and would it benefit many bakers? Think a little.
Hello! If you take things written in the Bible literally, then you should take an IQ TEST! All things in the Bible are metaphors! This is perhaps the greatest philosophical achievement of mankind! And as for whether you believe or not, it's just your choice and NO ONE can make you believe!
Author, I have not read the Bible because I do not live in , but I would read it because there are many important things. I don't know if I'm right, but you probably think God will give you everything right now? I will not attack you, because it is not right on my part, but it does not happen ... When you believe in the creator, you pray constantly, without hesitation - you will receive, but only if you have a pure heart and strong faith. I've read a lot about God and it's been said, "He who doesn't believe he will receive is like a wave swept by the waves." You probably expect to receive something without proving your good intentions, to ask forgiveness for your sins, but it doesn't happen !!!! I believe in God because I have prayed and received more than once. There was an incident that I will share with you to consider if there is any influence: In the evening I prayed and the next day my father crashed a car into a tree (clutch problem), but luckily there were no injuries, but it also showed how much his relatives care about him ... (since he did not 1 road helped them with everything they found him guilty). Everyone has different understandings, I do not intend to convince anyone :) DT
