Eden

Upon a time when I learnt how resourceful online forums can be on murky matters beyond society’s norms, I chanced upon this atheist vs theists group.

In a bid to irk Bible thumpers I said that the son of man had to be the most photogenic fellow at his time, he always has that regal look about him.

In came the stinging insults from born agains and hoots from atheists as expected, but there was someone who commented on the blind arrogance exhibited by both parties who picture the entire universe was created for their leisure.

My curiosity got the better of me so I dmed the user, asked what they meant in detail and luckily they gracefully obliged.

In broad strokes i learnt how the stunning Eden was an incubator and humans the experiment by evolved beings.

According to the user what we call Satan and God were in actuality scientists who differed on their specimen and their end goal.

God wanted submission and total docility, but Satan insisted on handing the specimen a chance to develop their own intelligence.

This developed in me the idea that morality is completely independent of religion, inch by inch I did away with the thought of a colossal being judging my every move and gravitated towards being more aware of my actions and consequences.

To be honest I’m not certain if God and Satan as we know them are real, but I will embrace wise sentiments from Marcus Aurelius.

Live in such a way that the gods if they are any will judge you favorably, and if they be and judge you harshly in spite of your morality then of what use are they?

You talked well.

it’s common knowedge amongst the enlighted ones that we’re some sort of lab rats

Bile effidense ii ni upussssss!!

Says the docile organism…

Thus said the one brain cell lab rat…

Kihiiii

What is morality? there must be a higher standard (being) that sets the absolute.

Otherwise morality in itself can be relative. What is good moral to you might not be good to me.

Eg Cannibals have no issue with the source of their diet. It doesn’t prick their conscience. Am pretty sure you would not be in agreement with them.

this is what you call agreement bias. ati scientists and specimens… further “evolved” beings… mscheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

Morality is independent of religion. Religion only reinforces and strengthens it. Absence of religion would effectively dilute the level of morality. Moving on, we may be living in a simulation. Our lives might be a form of illusion which gives us a sense of false control.

It’s impossible to consider there’s more to our world than we think

Yes, that knowledge messed me up

Thank you sir

There’s got to be more to life than procreation na fungu la kumi

Extreme example, but Religion specifically Christianity and Islam recommend the utter destruction of non believers.
And for a time they murdered none believers in droves, religion is commercial spiritualism

Consider how the human is a misstep from evolution, the human grew too self aware thus we all labor under an illusion that we are all somebody when in fact we are nobody

It is funny how we labelled ourselves as special relative to other creatures. The human is worst animal ever to exist

Just unique, human beings are a far cry from ‘normal’ animals, perhaps the DNA was tampered with

the sumerian tablets talk about this in detail.

With a story about a huge deluge that is similar to the tale of Noah

christianity is plagarism of several religions and facts.
