"God is dead and we killed him"; that's what the atheists have been saying for decades now, as they are proud of their handicraft in "destroying" God because it's profitable. Let's face it, atheists are literally PAID by leftists organizations to destroy the very fabric that woven the West after the Roman Empire crumbled.
And now what do we have? Their wet dreams of course. With their hatred upon the Abrahamic God and their aim to destroy it have been realized, they paved the way to THEIR religion of choice: Marxism. They're so logical, so intelligent, so reasonable, that they decided that the very fabric of culture, society, history and nations have to be destroyed because it is, according to them, also mandated by that old religion because fuck it.
God isn’t dead, this is the delusional stupidity that atheism grasps onto. Finding flaws in books written by humans doesn’t disprove a being beyond our comprehension. Dawkins is an egotistical faggot who thinks finding flaws in life equals no god. He then got canceled by trannies, so congratulations atheists.
*Islam-loving trannies at that, if I remember correctly. An RL friend I have who fancies himself an enlightened atheist and quasi-Marxist literally doesn't like Dawkins anymore (he was certainly a big enough fan back when we were in high school) because he's anti-Muslim and a racist apparently. Allah 1, fedora-tippers 0.
This was something mixed into leftist thought after 9/11 and W's invading Afghanistan and Iraq. Before that Atheists MOSTLY hated all religion equally because Christianity was the direct villain. Somewhere just after 9/11 the leftist became sympathetic to Islamists because they hated W and the Republicans - so the enemy of my enemy is my ally and there was a concerted effort to defend and become sensitive to islamic fundamentalism and defend them as being mere victims to American Oppression. This is why South Park was forced to censor their episode showing Mohammed because doing so would be supporting W and the Iraq war (which, as we all know, was haram!)
It was this self-censorship that spurred on the anti-bullying stuff which originally was to stop Islamic harassment and then quickly got extended to LGBT groups and heck anyone who was "victimized" by the evil GOP and that's how we ended up where we're at today.
As if abstract argumentation could produce any truth about the matter. True atheism leads to the tower of Babylon, while Christianity properly lived leads to the best life one could hope for (plus the promise of the eternal).
Christianity works. Everything else breeds death. You shall know them by their fruits.
We are still waiting for proof that there is a God.
I’m still waiting for proof you’re capable of original thought.
By definition, we'll never get it.
Make the leap of faith.
Is this a brilliant, beautiful, good, and amazing world? If it is, then ask yourself how it got this way.
There's more to God than organized religion.

You're right, there's appeals to emotion and magical thinking.
No one should be making a leap of faith into something that isn't there and can't support you.
If you're gonna be a Christian, don't be a fucking "Jesus take the wheel" Christian.
As a Christian, those types also drive me up the freaking wall.
From a purely pragmatic point of view, it is a terrible way of getting converts (if that is your goal), and its also a very unhealthy/unhelpful way of living your life.
More importantly, it runs contrary to what the Bible itself says, as God does not meddle in the affairs of mortals outside of a few extreme examples. Speaking to people maybe, I believe I have heard it*, but he is not going to give you vast riches because you prayed hard enough to him.
Of course, I have found that in almost every case, its overcompensation. Those with guilty consciences who hide their crimes or sins with zealotry, while those who are solid in their faith and living their life to the best of their moral ability generally do so in quiet. Which is a trait that even Jesus pointed out, saying that the man who prays in private is usually more pious than the man who prays loudly and openly in the church. And as we all know, this same observation also applies to Woke Leftist (since it is more or less a secular religion).
/*(unless you have a logical reason for why someone screamed my name, in a car with no one else in it, with no one on the sidewalk, that happened to get me to look in the direction of a car running a stop sign and getting me to react fast enough to avoid getting t-boned)
It's not, half of this sub's reason to exist would not exist if it was. Am i supposed to turn myself into Satanist now instead of keeping to agnostic atheism?
This world is a lovely place, in my view. Humans have done some stupid things however. It's time to roll those back and embrace the order of nature and the gods instead.
