Why represent the idea of God as truth if it really all comes down to personal headcanon?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Because if morality is dictated by God, and God is whatever you want, you can justify literally anything.

Why represent the lack of a God as something to aspire for? If it's all headcanon, then what does it matter what I believe, as long as I'm not forcing it down your throat, which I'm not. I'm merely having a conversation about it, just like you are with me.

Easy, because most people do. Be it by indoctrination of their children, justification of atrocities, or by feeling self righteous, it is almost always a tool of coercion.

And people who think they're above of it all, and who think their lukewarm faith is the answer, are disgusting to the creature they claim to serve, as per the Book of Revelation, chapter 3, verses 15-16.
