Religious rants

Again to double down, i couldnt find anything that backed up my claim for it being present in my branch of services official records since this happened in 2017. But i found a twitter page for aethism services in boot camp so this does exist. https://twitter.com/bootcampatheist?lang=en Also for islam, my ex was muslim. She was from malysia. She would tell me everything about the quran and their ways of life. I dont believe all these experiences were for nothing. This all came at a time where i was deployed in 2019. I was immersed in islam. The base i was at the muslims would play their prayers on a loud speaker several times a day. They literally prayed multiple times a day. There was names for each time they did prayer. At the same time i was incharge of watching over some hindis, there was also a pakistani there and he told me about his beliefs and such. Tho that pakistani was delusional lmfaoo he thought the pakistani army could take on the US.

Re the Flood, there's no scientific evidence of a global flood happening. There have only been regional great floods. Some have even argued that the Biblical one was the flooding of the Euphrates River. Also keeping in mind that the people of prehistoric Iraq wouldn't have even known other continents existing. So when they talk about Noah and the animals, tis embellished with mythos like many of the other stories. Still, I will say what I have time and time again with religion: faith is not based in fact. Faith is beliving in absence of proof. Therefore, there is no need to prove stories of the Bible. Not many people knew how to write and record things. These stories were passed down by word of mouth so it makes me wonder how the telephone game helped some of these stories out. A more likely story is a man decided to build a craft that would float on water after witnessing many rainy season flooding, then a great flood happened and he saved 2 of each animals and his family on the boat/raft. Divine inspiration is a quicker answer than arguing that agricultural centers were settled along fertile river banks that flood annually and someone just picked up on the trend and decided to prepare or make a craft that could traverse across rivers.

"We know such things because sediments reveal history. Ryan and Pitman began taking cores of the present-day Black Sea. The cores seemed to be telling a strange story indeed, particularly in the northern areas. At the very bottom of the cores, dozens of feet below the present seafloor, they found layered mud typical of river deltas. Carbon-dating of shells in this mud indicates that it was laid down between 18,000 and 8,600 years ago. This data showed that an area of the Black Sea about the size of Florida might have been much like the lower Mississippi Delta today — rich farmland with an abundant supply of fresh water. Directly above the layers of mud is a layer of what Pitman calls "shell hash" — an inch-thick layer of broken shells — overlain by several feet of fine sediment of the type being brought into the Black Sea by rivers today. The shells in the "hash" are typical of what was in the Black Sea when it was a body of fresh water. The fine sediments contain evidence of saltwater species previously unknown in the Black Sea. It is the interpretation of these layers that tells us what happened on that inevitable day when rising sea levels in the Mediterranean reached the base of the sediments at the bottom of the Bosporus — and all hell broke loose. When the Mediterranean began to flow northward, it "popped the plug" and pushed those sediments into a "tongue" of loose sediment on the bottom of what would become the present-day Black Sea (this tongue can still be seen in cores taken from the ocean bottom in that area). As the flow of water increased, it began to cut into the bedrock itself. The rock in this area is broken — Pitman calls it "trashy" — and even today rockslides are a major engineering problem for roads cut into the cliffs alongside the Bosporus. The incoming water eventually dug a channel more than 300 feet deep as it poured into the Black Sea basin, changing it from a freshwater lake to a saltwater ocean. In this scenario, the mud beneath the shell hash represents sediments from the rivers that fed the freshwater lake, the shell hash the remains of the animals that lived in that lake, and the layers above it the result of the saltwater incursion." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/evidence-for-a-flood-102813115/

In 2020, the young Earth creationist group the Institute for Creation Research acknowledged that, despite many expeditions, Noah's Ark had not been found and is unlikely to be found. Many of the supposed findings and methods used in the search are regarded as pseudoscience and pseudoarchaeology by geologists and archaeologists. At the end of the Genesis flood narrative, when the flooding subsides, the Ark is said to come to rest "on the mountains of Ararat." The Book of Jubilees specifies a particular mountain, naming it "Lûbâr". The Torah does not describe any particular holiness about the Ark, and so little attention is given to its fate after Noah's departure. Searches since the mid-20th century have been largely supported by evangelical, millenarian churches and sustained by ongoing popular interest, faith-based magazines, lecture tours, videos and occasional television specials.

Oh my god. *pun intended* I don't know if your being bad faith *pun intended* or your just too slow to follow your own train of thought. Don’t worry, I’ll break it down for you. Premise 1: Evil beliefs land you in hell. Premise 2: The catholic church is evil. If the catholic church is Evil, then Catholics beliefs are evil. Evil beliefs land you in hell. Since Catholics beliefs are evils. It therefore follows that catholic beliefs also land you in hell. Or maybe I’m just projecting Pandus? Why would God let people with evil beliefs into the kingdom of heaven? Because last I checked. People with evil beliefs about God go to hell. But according to your misinformed Christian dogma. People with evil beliefs about God don't necessary go to hell. According to you, "only those who have had the chance to know God and reject him." May or may not be damned? What the fuck are talking about? You can have evil beliefs, evil thoughts, evil teachings, but you don't necessary go to hell? As long as you don't reject God? Ok, riddle me this Pandus. Muslims believe in God, hence don't reject God. But Muslims reject Christ as God. Muslims reject and don't reject God at the same time. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet just like Muhammad was a prophet. Since Muslims reject one form of God and don’t reject another form of God. Both at the same time. Are Muslims going to hell? Yes or no? Now Pandus, if you truly believe that Catholic beliefs are evil and false. How many passages of the bible are the evil Catholics not following pandus? False evil beliefs do not get you into the kingdom of heaven. False evil beliefs land you in hell. But you’re saying that false evil beliefs don't necessary get you into hell. Enlighten me then, where the hell do false evil beliefs about God land you then, if not hell? Does one false evil belief about God land you in hell? What about two evil beliefs? What about those that believe in all the evil Catholic Dogma? But, but, but I neva said anyone was going to hell. Oh my god. *pun intended* Such a cucked Christian response. Your position would be more fundamentally sound if you actually stated that x, y and z are Christian dogma. Anyone that doesn't believe in x, y, and z are not Christians, hence will burn in hell. But no, you can have evil beliefs about God, but that doesn't necessary mean you'll burn in hell. I would say that I'm surprised on the amount of mental gymnastics to justify that, but I'm not. Imagine if someone said. Yeah, I don't think the earth is round. I think the earth is a long plane with ice sheets blocking people from going overboard. Ok, so you’re a flat earther? OMG no! I never said I was a flat earther! I just don't think the earth is round and instead a long plane. Your projecting flat earther onto me. Deriving logical conclusions from your own beliefs is projecting. Like bruuuh, what?

@chocopyro Maybe he was eastern orthodox before IDK. But most recently he had mentioned several times that he was Catholic

I mean shit. I would too, if the religion I worshiped was viewed as a Putin arm of propaganda right about the time the world was in its reactionary phase of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But thanks for letting me know that.

You are misinformed and its showing aleph. You cannot be saved from sin without jesus christ. If you reject jesus christ as God which he is. He is the son of God whereas we are the son of man. Without jesus we cannot be saved from sin. No jesus no salvation. Its that simple. I didnt say all catholics would be saved. Alot of what Catholicism preaches is still christianity. However there are aspects of Catholicism that are unbiblical. I wouldnt expect yoi to understand. I mean there is a reason why we have people who separated from the church our founding fathers were literally those people. How can you call urself an American and not even know that. Its sad i have to break this all down for you. Maybe ur not an American and im just projecting idek where ur from tbh. But anyway the catholic church doesnt hold true christianity but not all Catholics do what the pope and those people do anyway. They just identify as catholic. Even Catholicism has different branches. Thats all im gonna say because ur wasting our time.
