I am angry

A place for angry people to come and be angry about things without discrimination.
Also, a place for non-angry people to come and read and comment on angry people's posts. Don't be dismissive to ragers because I am notoriously generous with the banhammer.
Note: I say Angry People, not bigoted people. Being angry at people for how they are born will get you blocked with an astounding quickness.
Lastly: NO MEMES! USE YOUR WORDS! (Some exemptions may apply)

according to the bible, your faith has to be based on faith alone, rather than evidence. which means, there is no evidence. if there were evidence, your faith would be based on evidence instead of faith.
so what causes you to believe in god?
I know it's hard for you to contemplate but what if I told you that it really doesn't matter all that much in the grand scheme if He does or does not exist?
Statement: God does or does not exist independent of my belief or desire.
Conclusion: my belief is irrelevant to His actual existence or lack thereof.
Statement the Second: Since I have begun living as if He does exist, my life is more fulfilling and purposeful.
Conclusion the Second: Regardless of the existence or lack thereof of God, it is prudent to live as if He exists if your goal is greater life satisfaction.
You have a fucktonne of these arguments you've been rehearsing in your head for when you actually get the chance to dunk on a theist and I want to warn you right now that none of them will work on me because they have zero nuance and are formulated by talking heads for views and clicks instead of being rigorous arguments.
Your insistence on this cute little 'catch 22' shows that you may have an understanding of specific passages that you and your community have combed through to pick out for these 'gotchas', but you certainly have zero grasp of the actually meaningful parts about living a good life and supporting your community.
We call that 'legalism' in my church, and it's looked down upon.
Do you really think that IF God exists, He's going to be fooled by word play?
And IF He DOESN'T exist, why waste the time? I think it is because you like the attention.
oh, you just go around making up stories about the people you're talking about in your head? I didn't realize that's what we were doing here. have fun with that, I'm not interested
I'm not even going to validate your low effort post, gtfo.
