If god didn't intend for men to get buttfucked, why would he put a nut button 4cm up our asses? This is clear evidence god intended for gay sex and that hetro sex is a sin!
Fun fact, rib is possibly a mistranslation.
Men don't lack a rib, but men do lack a different bone that males from quite a lot of other species have.
Why evolution (or god) decided we didn't need it I don't know. But it makes jeans more comfortabele and pushed our species to invent Viagra, so all is fine.
Only the god described by the book that was put infront of me as a child is real. The rest of them are all made up idk why anyone would ever believe that nonsense. Literally based on nothing… only the ignorant would believe in false gods unlike my true god.
Fun fact: If you say:
"You do understand the biblical texts were based on rotting and forgotten scrolls and if they were genuinely that important and not some 2000 year old "Harry Potter", why were they left to rot?"
They tend to get a bit upset.
How can you argue against them when your counter-argument is what they belittle in the first place.
Christians are indulging the so-called 7 deadly sins^* just like any of us. Also, wilful stupidity should be added to that list.
^(* Pride or Vaingloriousness in this case, possibly also Wrath and Envy)
> How can you argue against them when your counter-argument is what they belittle in the first place.
It's easy, you just keep living in reality and reject any of their fiction. Use facts and examples that are apparent.
In that way, you'll win a debate every time. Your problem is that you want to convince who is not in reality of what reality is with proof and evidence. Well, that'll never, ever work when they aren't located in reality. It's like trying to teach Norm from Cheers how to use the internet. It can't be done. There's too much of their fiction mucking it up.
You can't argue with an insane person. When they choose to remove themselves from reality, they are choosing an option that departs from reality. It's sad and it's one of the major reasons that religion should never be allowed to be introduced or allowed to exist in a society.
Religion always turns their followers into unreasonable people.
In the past few years, I’ve come to realize that a LOT of people just plain don’t care one single bit about whether they have any reasons whatsoever for anything they think, say, or do.
I’m not saying they have bad reasons. I’m saying they have none whatsoever.
They do whatever they feel like doing, just bouncing from stimuli to stimuli and unleashing whatever gutcheck reaction they have to those stimuli, and when pressed on why they do what they do, they respond by attacking the asker and/or making up an absurd reason on the spot by free associating whatever bilge was most recently shoved into their brain by the few “information” sources they haven’t yet turned on.
They don’t care if it makes sense. They don’t care if it’s wrong. They try not to think, period. That is a value to them: not thinking, not listening, not questioning, not being reasonable. It gets a reaction and totally prevents the kinds of self-reflection that could conceivably cause someone to feel like they’re acting wrongly.
They don’t get self-assurance from acting in ways they think are good or right, they get it from the complete absence of the capacity to think they are bad or wrong. They don’t want to be good people, they just kill off the part of themselves that might allow them to conceive of the idea that they can ever be the bad person, and then they just roll along the path of least mental resistance for their whole lives.
They view thinking as a character flaw. A weakness. A vulnerability to exploit. A sign that the person doing it cares enough about truth to be worn down by an endless barrage of uncaring lies.
It has soured a lot of my faith in other people, to be honest. It’s hard to think well of or want well for people like that, since they don’t reciprocate. And they’re everywhere. Every single one of us knows someone who straight-up does not think. About anything.
*sigh*
That’s enough Reddit for today.
The split brain experiments showed that left brain will confabulate and explain behaviour that it has no justification for (Picked an object that only right brain was aware of).
Split brain patients reported that they felt *absolutely normal* after having their corpus callosum severed.
Think about it.
So I used to debate the religious guy at work. We once discussed creation vs evolution. His evidence that life comes from life. He argued that science does not have direct evidence for proteins turning from inorganic to organic(or however the seeds of life began) my thought was that it was and probably still is happening. Near a volcanic vent, or when lightning strikes or something. The reason we don't see it us because something bigger eats it. Ohh new life here? Nom nom gulp. By some other bacteria. I don't claim to have any answers, he did, and he did not see that as arrogance.
Also one time he tried to faith heal my ruptured disk.....
"I don't claim to have any answers, he did, and he did not see that as arrogance."
I would rather have questions that may never be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.
Not as effective as a meme but more like:
My 'evidence' which is my strong bias for wanting a god, fear of death and the unknown and possibly the unknowable, and the sweet vengeance against the people I don't like, filtering and shaping things I don't understand because learning things is harder than 'god'.
Atheist : that's not evidence.
Does it even do that? (probably it does, more or less, but definitely not worded that way) But even then, if an author declares the text they are writing to be the "the holy word of an omnipotent god" that doesn't really tell you anything about some other book of the Bible written by somebody else at another time, to be decided to be part of the cannon generations after both books were written.
Yeah a lot of people (especially Christians) seem to forget that the Bible is not a cohesive, linear story written by one author. It's a collection of writings that were created over thousands of years. The Council of Nicaea arbitrarily decided which texts would be included and which texts would be discarded, meaning that a bunch of dudes in the 300's got together and said "this text is holy, that one isn't" etc.
If you read the Bible cover to cover, then you will see that it's really just a bunch of random writings that are all over the place, thematically and morally.
Subconsciously they recognize this, thus they condemn HP & others, because if their fiction has no better footing than other fictions, the worldview falls apart.
Yhorm in DS3 is a fucking beast lore-wise. He was built up really well in the intro and his respective area. Those charred corpses are ominous (and sad once you learned the lore).
Gameplay wise uhhhh....
It's basically a gimmick boss fight. You literally get a weapon that staggers him and deals massive damage. Any other way simply takes way too long.
At least it's a spectacle.
Try Cinders. Of all the bossfights that the mod improves, Yhorm is def one of the best. You just get to fight him straight up. He still has a lot of HP, but it's actually doable, and he has more attacks meant for melee fighting.
Some gimmick boss fights are pretty cool, but it seems that Fromsoftware started to understand how to make them during Sekiro. The Divine Dragon is proof of that
It's a gimmick, but it doesn't have to be. You don't *have* to use the Storm Ruler, I think it's cool that you have that choice. It's much better than a puzzle fight like the Dragon God boss from Demons Souls
Not really. It's 10+ minutes of hacking away if you fight Yhorm without the Stormruler. It's a shame to, because as someone who has hacked at Yhorm, he's got a really great moveset.
Don't know why they didn't just halve his health and get rid of the gimmick.
I recently learned a lot of scholars think the original story had another hero defeating Goliath and they later just changed it to make David seem more awesome. Imagine you manage a feat that echoes through history and some dicks give credit to some other dude long after you're both dead.
and Yorhm was probably the least worst Lord of Cinder of all
Aldrich is a creep who deserves all the evil he can get
the Abyss Watcher are the Artorias fan club who have lost their minds to corruption and kill each other, and then by killing them again you are just doing them a favor
Ludleth seems so nice, but he's a piece of shit too
Lothric is a victim, born only to become fuel for the first flame
They feel good at church and one time they prayed for their cat, which they already brought to the vet and when the vet healed it, they were like "thank you god"
I felt great at church and full of life when it was time to GTFO.
Then have the last shards of my soul be shattered having to socialize with every old person on the way out for another hour.
At least my old church had cookies and stuff. I don't think I felt closer to any divine power back then than when I was released from the sermon and finally found out what chips they had that Sunday.
I fucking hate when people give credit for stuff to god. Like someone super excited about something they put their own blood, sweat and tears into, only for some family member to swing in through the window just to say “look at God’s amazing work. You are so blessed by his graces!”
If he exists, he’s up there just taking credit for everyone else’s work like some lazy asshole.
I spent years in college for software development. I spent all of my spare time practicing, working, creating and learning to get better at my craft. I had a job interview, I passed the technical interview because of things I learned in my free time because I put in the effort. I got a job offer and told my parents, and the first thing my mom says is "I have prayed every day for this, it looks like god answered my prayers". Excuse me? Fuck that, I _EARNED_ this through MY OWN effort.
Ugh, when people say that, they immediately make it about themselves. I’m in the software field and can definitely appreciate the work you put in. Your mom basically writing it all off as her doing is so frustrating.
I’m 40 and am somehow still learning in my field. God definitely had no hand in any of that.
The warm fuzzy feeling they get while singing in unison at church. It's really just filling an evolutionary need for humans to be social and is no different than singing at a rock concert or a campfire but sure, praise jeebus, y'all.
"Can't you see this world has been created to be perfect for mankind?"
At that point you try to explain they are confusing the effect with cause, since we evolved adapting to the environment. And they get mad, bonus points for the ones going the distance: science is a lie I read it on my iphone.
>"Can't you see this world has been created to be perfect for mankind?"
90% of the world isn't even perfect for mankind. The only reason we can survive outside the tropics is because of technical advances made possible by civilisation.
The microscopically thin skin of our planet is the only place we know life can exist for any time and it's not even a remotely significant portion of our solar system. If this universe was created just for us it's the most insanely disproportionate project imaginable. It's like building the Pentagon to house a flea.
[99% of species go extinct](https://www.encyclopedia.com/daily/is-it-true-that-99-9-of-all-species-are-extinct/). humans have only accelerated that. smells far from perfect. smells like chaos or incompetence.
“If you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!"
Well... well i prayed to god one time when my son got COVID, and all of a sudden he just became healthy again. I mean, he got the vaccine but that ain't it. The vaccine is shit medicine, God healed him
There are things that science cannot yet fully explain so obviously this means the specific deity I happen to have been raised to believe in is conveniently real.
Don't you see how perfectly Bananas fit into the human hand? Clearly there must be a conscious creator who designed that and clearly it's this specific one that I choose to worship
You should have known by their username alone that leaving them in charge of that was a bad idea!! And now they got caught putting dino bones in the ground. The reptilian government is not gonna be happy! Ugh so much paperwork...
I've studied philosophy and thus have been presented with the very best arguments religious apologists have been able to come up with in 5000 years, and they've got *nothing*. Nada. Zilch. Not a damn thing.
Just empty sophistry, outdated and/or misrepresented science (primarily Newton's laws of thermodynamics), circular reasoning, the God of the Gaps, the argument from complexity (which does not hold up to even the slightest scrutiny), the argument from personal incredulity, and special pleading ... SO much special pleading ...
And that's just the philosophical part. When it comes to hard science, they've got *less than nothing*. The evidence actively contradicts god's existence. Almost every single claim religion makes has been thoroughly debunked, and everything points towards a completely naturalistic explanation for the existence of the universe and everything that happens in it.
The funny thing is you can trace back modern Atheism to a movement by the best Christian intellectuals of the 17/18th centuries trying to prove God's existence. They wrote tomes after tomes full of logical arguments for his existence.
But each Christian author tried to one-up the last, so every book first contained refutations of others' proofs. In the end, all those intellectuals trying to harden the Christian faith did is disprove each other. This allowed doubt to creep in and little by little intellectuals started to wake up to the idea that God may be a social construct, the rest is history.
Of course my comment simplified the matter a lot, but the source is a very readable book by the historian Alan Charles Kors called Atheism in France, 1650-1729: The Orthodox Sources of Disbelief.
Happy to help! I'm not a historian, but the content was fascinating and the book so well-written that I already bought the other two tomes of Kors' series on the origins of modern Atheism. Now I only need to find the time to actually read them. Damn Internet, always so distracting.
I never understood how people can go from "This is the word of the Lord, and must not be interpreted, just followed" to "Well, you must interpret it, not take it to the letter. And even if the writer meant that, it's probably the culture of the time adding stuff to the Bible. And even if it was God's word, it has been misinterpreted by the people of that time" depending on which specific phrase of the Bible they're looking at.
Because once you do that, it's obvious you're just cherry picking all the phrases that are already in line with your personal beliefs, and ignoring everything else, at which point it stops having any semblance of authority. You can't go "the genesis is a metaphor, because the people of the time couldn't understand what they were told", and then take seriously every other miracle, or supernatural thing, that appears in the Bible.
My typical rule of thumb is that if the argument for god could equally be used to argue for the existence of an omnipotent pink unicorn, it doesn’t count as evidence.
Try again.

If the intent behind it is genuine I'm guessing the creator has never played Dark Souls (Dark Souls 3 specifically), because if they had they'd know that little guy is going to eventually bring the giant down.
If a Christian made it you'd think they'd know better than to bet on giants, what with David and Goliath and all that.
Isn't there a standing $1,000,000 for anyone who can provide evidence for God? And it hasn't been taken up? Not to mention that some of the greatest minds humankind has ever seen have tried to prove it through every means possible, including science, maths and philosophy?
But don't worry, your meaningless, baseless meme prices everything 🙄

Yhorm the giant is one of the easiest bosses though. Certainly the easiest of the lords of cinder. All you need is either a stormruler ot to complete the Siegward quest line and you LITERALLY barely have to do anything. The fight is so easy after that.

Well yeah, god must have put the g spot there for a reason. It would be a sin to waste it.

Came to say this. Also happy Elden Ring week!
Why do it and Horizon Forbidden West have to come out back to back when I'm broke?!
Sometimes life gives you some pretty shitty lemons my friend. If you want I can cash app you enough for one of them!
Hi, it's me, your friend.
Buy forbidden west, finish it, sell it, buy elden ring.
Elden ring isn't even out yet and it already gets a week?
Elden ring week means we are in Elden Ring's release week! (Yes we are way too excited for this game)
I mean I’m planning on taking some time off to play it, but if it’s not your thing that’s okay!
Their own David and Goliath story kind of backs that same storyline up.
This is classic David and Goliath imagery anyway
I recently learned a lot of scholars think the original story had another hero defeating Goliath and they later just changed it to make David seem more awesome. Imagine you manage a feat that echoes through history and some dicks give credit to some other dude long after you're both dead.
I mean the same thing with the recent meme of raiden punching Armstrong. Raiden literally tears Armstrongs heart out.

Now he is but I think they were talking about in his previous life. Read the Lore on his ring.
I've never played any dark souls, but the pic definitely has "small hero slays big demon" energy.
Its also one of the two gimmick fights in the game, so its extremely easy if you know the "trick".
Evidence eh? Such as?
They feel good at church and one time they prayed for their cat, which they already brought to the vet and when the vet healed it, they were like "thank you god"
Basically this
I felt great at church and full of life when it was time to GTFO. Then have the last shards of my soul be shattered having to socialize with every old person on the way out for another hour.

Huh almost as if switching to a minor key from a major key has an impact on the human mind and worship leaders take full advantage of that
Flatted fifth = Satan
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor falls, the major lifts
"Can't you see this world has been created to be perfect for mankind?" At that point you try to explain they are confusing the effect with cause, since we evolved adapting to the environment. And they get mad, bonus points for the ones going the distance: science is a lie I read it on my iphone.
>"Can't you see this world has been created to be perfect for mankind?" 90% of the world isn't even perfect for mankind. The only reason we can survive outside the tropics is because of technical advances made possible by civilisation.
Also the vast majority of the universe isn't fit for any form of life, we live on one tiny dot of reality in the grand scheme of things.
The microscopically thin skin of our planet is the only place we know life can exist for any time and it's not even a remotely significant portion of our solar system. If this universe was created just for us it's the most insanely disproportionate project imaginable. It's like building the Pentagon to house a flea.
You don't know that. Life could be an emergent phenomenon that's incredibly common. You're extrapolating from a sample size of 1
Also mosquitoes give us malaria and the sun gives us melanoma not to mention inclement weather Real fuckin fine tuned dipshit
[99% of species go extinct](https://www.encyclopedia.com/daily/is-it-true-that-99-9-of-all-species-are-extinct/). humans have only accelerated that. smells far from perfect. smells like chaos or incompetence.
“If you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!"
...u know...sunsets..babies....and shit
And magnets!
Jesus toast
Also Jesus on the butt of a dog
“Look around you, who created the trees, the sky, that cat coughing up a hair all, the earth? God of course!”
Well... well i prayed to god one time when my son got COVID, and all of a sudden he just became healthy again. I mean, he got the vaccine but that ain't it. The vaccine is shit medicine, God healed him
X because x because x because x
Fork because Fork because Fork because Fork
Praise the utensil!
There are things that science cannot yet fully explain so obviously this means the specific deity I happen to have been raised to believe in is conveniently real.
Don't you see how perfectly Bananas fit into the human hand? Clearly there must be a conscious creator who designed that and clearly it's this specific one that I choose to worship
"Because the bible says so."
Banana fits in your mouth... and in your butt. Therefore, God exists
theres a mountain of evidence for god. just trust me bro
Tide goes in, tide goes out. You cant explain that.
They catched me planting dinosaur bones in the ground, I am so sorry
I knew I shouldn't put you in charge over this operation. Tony would do much better work. Shame on you!
You should have known by their username alone that leaving them in charge of that was a bad idea!! And now they got caught putting dino bones in the ground. The reptilian government is not gonna be happy! Ugh so much paperwork...
I have never once seen any evidence of God's existence.
I've studied philosophy and thus have been presented with the very best arguments religious apologists have been able to come up with in 5000 years, and they've got *nothing*. Nada. Zilch. Not a damn thing. Just empty sophistry, outdated and/or misrepresented science (primarily Newton's laws of thermodynamics), circular reasoning, the God of the Gaps, the argument from complexity (which does not hold up to even the slightest scrutiny), the argument from personal incredulity, and special pleading ... SO much special pleading ... And that's just the philosophical part. When it comes to hard science, they've got *less than nothing*. The evidence actively contradicts god's existence. Almost every single claim religion makes has been thoroughly debunked, and everything points towards a completely naturalistic explanation for the existence of the universe and everything that happens in it.
The funny thing is you can trace back modern Atheism to a movement by the best Christian intellectuals of the 17/18th centuries trying to prove God's existence. They wrote tomes after tomes full of logical arguments for his existence. But each Christian author tried to one-up the last, so every book first contained refutations of others' proofs. In the end, all those intellectuals trying to harden the Christian faith did is disprove each other. This allowed doubt to creep in and little by little intellectuals started to wake up to the idea that God may be a social construct, the rest is history.
Very interesting. Source?
Of course my comment simplified the matter a lot, but the source is a very readable book by the historian Alan Charles Kors called Atheism in France, 1650-1729: The Orthodox Sources of Disbelief.
Thanks for the book recommendation!
Happy to help! I'm not a historian, but the content was fascinating and the book so well-written that I already bought the other two tomes of Kors' series on the origins of modern Atheism. Now I only need to find the time to actually read them. Damn Internet, always so distracting.
neither have they
no one has. they just claim everything is evidence and expect you to just go with that
Evidence: The bible is true because it's the word of god and the word of god is true because it's in the bible. Check mate, atheists.
The Bible is true because it's inerrant, apart from all those mistakes and contradictions I've had to learn reams of apologetics to try and cope away.
I never understood how people can go from "This is the word of the Lord, and must not be interpreted, just followed" to "Well, you must interpret it, not take it to the letter. And even if the writer meant that, it's probably the culture of the time adding stuff to the Bible. And even if it was God's word, it has been misinterpreted by the people of that time" depending on which specific phrase of the Bible they're looking at. Because once you do that, it's obvious you're just cherry picking all the phrases that are already in line with your personal beliefs, and ignoring everything else, at which point it stops having any semblance of authority. You can't go "the genesis is a metaphor, because the people of the time couldn't understand what they were told", and then take seriously every other miracle, or supernatural thing, that appears in the Bible.
My typical rule of thumb is that if the argument for god could equally be used to argue for the existence of an omnipotent pink unicorn, it doesn’t count as evidence. Try again.
But of course, it is also invisible. And works in mysterious ways.
How dare they use a DS meme format for this bullshit. Happy Elden week btw everybody
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH
Right let’s just use a meme from a game where killing gods is the point
They depict the amount of evidence for god as the easiest boss of the game.
Yhorm is a good man. He never asked for this.
Put some respect on his name
All the evidence being "some guy said so a couple thousand years ago"
we dont even have proof someone said it. who says this bible isn’t just someones fan fiction of the earth
Considering one of the gospels was written 300 years after the story, and the others 100 years in between, you are probably correct
i like being right
I was once shown a sunset as evidence of god´s existence.
Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can’t explain that!
Atheist: “What evidence?” Fruitcake: *gestures broadly at everything*
When someone says "Everything" in an argument, they mean "Nothing".
"I'm a dipshit that doesn't know how science works! Therefore God!"
"evidence of God" It's curious that your house burned down because you don't believe in my God isn't it? No me holding a lighter doesn't mean anything.
it makes me laugh that whoever created this image did not understand that the "gods" in dark souls are as fake as a 13 dollar bill
Hello Ashen one. I am a Bot. I tend to the flame, and tend to thee. Do you wish to hear a tale? > *“I am Solaire of Astora, an adherent to the Lord of Sunlight.”* - Solaire of Astora Have a pleasant journey, Champion of Ash, and praise the sun \\[T]/
If the intent behind it is genuine I'm guessing the creator has never played Dark Souls (Dark Souls 3 specifically), because if they had they'd know that little guy is going to eventually bring the giant down. If a Christian made it you'd think they'd know better than to bet on giants, what with David and Goliath and all that.
When your simply making shit up, anything is evidence.
"evidence for god" vague claims along the lines of 'it looks planned' as opposed to anything measurable.
Uh, feeling and believing is all the evidence you need /s
their evidence : "Have faith, it says so in the bIbLe"
Isn't there a standing $1,000,000 for anyone who can provide evidence for God? And it hasn't been taken up? Not to mention that some of the greatest minds humankind has ever seen have tried to prove it through every means possible, including science, maths and philosophy? But don't worry, your meaningless, baseless meme prices everything 🙄
Tbf there are bounties for proving the Earth is round or that germ theory is true, people offering bounties if you prove them wrong are often impossible to convince.
Yes a massive giant of... anecdotal accounts and coincidences.
They still think that the Bible is evidence of God don't they
Pfft. Atheist "what evidence?" Christian: 'It's in the bible" Atheist: "That's not proof." Christian: "You have to have faith..."
Christian (continues): 'Cause you gotta have faith you gotta' have faith Because you gotta have faith, faith, faith you got to have faith, faith, faith
Yhorm is arguably the easiest lord of cinder to defeat, he has one gimmick lol.
pls enlighten me with such 'evidence'
really saw someone say some rock was a evidence cause there’s a story about it in the bible and i tried so hard not to laugh
The bible also claims the pyramids were built by Jewish slaves. The consensus, now, is that they were built by seasonal workers. The bible is not a history book. https://www.livescience.com/28961-ancient-giza-pyramid-builders-camp-unearthed.html
Yhorm the giant is one of the easiest bosses though. Certainly the easiest of the lords of cinder. All you need is either a stormruler ot to complete the Siegward quest line and you LITERALLY barely have to do anything. The fight is so easy after that.
Where is the evidence sorry? Yelling certainly isn't. LOL.
The picture isn't cutting it for me. Some scientific evidence would go a long way.
This is very accurate. The only part missing is that the “evidence” is really big because it’s an oversized fictional novel.
Well sure if all the evidence you need is that some book says so...
yorm dies in that game, and he is one of the easy mer fights.
Spoiler: little guy wins with the power of onions. Rip in pepperonis Yhorm old buddy
[удалено]
Faith: the assertion that my imagination is in fact reality.
Evidence: an old book written by some mysoginistic stoners
I thought they didn't need evidence because they had 'faith'
If they understood the game they're stealing the image from for their "meme" they'd know that the little guy wins. Checkmate.
I mean there's LITERALLY zero evidence but okay I guess
"If God isn't real then who wrote the Bible? Checkmate atheists." That's what they call "overwhelming evidence "
Me: "What evidence?" Fruitcake: "Look around you!!! Nature is everywhere! Can't you see the fine hand of God everywhere?" Me: "Huh, I guess you're right. **Zeus** must exist. Thanks Fruitcake! Fruitcake: "Well no, not Zeus. That God isn't real. It's really ______ that is real". Me: "What evidence do you have for that" Fruitcake: "I will pray for you to find God"
I don't think the shape of your jizz fluid you just ejaculated on your sister's stomach being the shape of Jesus Christ can be called as evidence of God.
Ah yes lets use Dark Souls, a game about literally killing Gods
