To me at least, if someone says they're an atheist, I'd assume they're somewhat invested in their point of view and have a desire to back it up. On the other hand, if someone says they're agnostic, I just think they're uncertain, don't feel any faith, and are being honest about it.
my problem here is basically
how do i know that
your "God" is actually "
THE God"
i keep having people use "intelligent design" as supposedly proof of Christianity
but there's a missing step in the logic, if we say that "Intelligent Design" has been proven, that Intelligent design proves the existence of a "designer", then it's just a weird illogical leap to then say that the Father of Jesus is the Designer of the planet/universe beyond planet earth
long long time ago
i actually did a bunch of posts (Possibly earlier in this specific thread, IIRC) where i showed that the missing sentences in The Pentateuch actually showed that the God-of-the-Israelites is definitely clearly NOT the intelligent designer
instead of finding those posts and quoting myself
i'll just do a little bit of it from memory
Abel was already married, but still childless, when Cain killed Abel
Cain's Punishment for killing Abel was that Cain was not allowed to breed with Eve's Daughters
Seth's descendants (showing that Noah was descended from Seth) were from Seth breeding with Abel's widow
Cain's wife was NOT his sister
Cain was exiled away from Eve's daughters
Cain's wife's people already had a calendar way-the-fuck before the creation of Adam
Genesis chapter 5 shows the number of years between the creation of Adam and Noah's Flood,
this is the Deity in control of Noah's descendants doing a calendar re-set, claiming that Adam was the first human "created on the 6th day"
this calendar re-set was to prevent Noah's decedents from realizing humans existed way the fuck before Adam
preventing Noah's descendants from realizing that humans existed way way before Adam is also the explanation of why Old Testament God made rules against people talking to the ghosts of the dead, talking to animals, and why the God of the Israelites had Moses kill all of the Matriarchal tribes
The Book of Numbers mentions a Midianite woman named "Kozbi, daughter of Zur"
the text mentions her first name "Kozbi" instead of just merely calling her "Daughter of Zur" because she had a position of great power within the Midianite tribe that no female would have had in among the Isrealites
when Kozbi was killed, the God-of-the-isrealites stopped the plague, because of Kozbi's position of power within the Midianite tribe
God wouldn't have stopped the plague if Phineas has killed a random midianite woman, and Phineas might not have even felt the need to kill a random midianite woman, God Stopped the plague when Kozbi died because Phineas had killed the specific powerful woman who was resposible for the midianite women having sex with the isrealite men, for any individual midianite woman to have sex with any individual isrealite man, the 2 of them would have had to have gotten Kozbi's permission, but then Kozbi just decided to have all the midianite women have sex with the isrealite men, Kozbi having this kind of power, and using it in this way, is why the plague started, Kozbi's decision-making started the plague, and therefore Kozbi's death ended the plague
While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women, who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed d
