Also true, but where does that tie in to a comment saying this is a good thing? Like where did the Jesus freaks come in? We could just as easily be happy about a good thing happening.
it’s just hard for some people to appreciate the good things in life. that’s valid considering the state of the world right now, but we still need to celebrate victories where they appear. overt pessimism does no good for anyone
Not that’d it’d convince them, but that argument only makes sense if God is real, and you shouldn’t be making laws based on your religion.
To actually convince them, I’d say that, if God is real, he created us with the capacity to understand this, and his creation has the capability to be modified by us. If he didn’t want us modifying it he would have made it not modifyable, which he can do because he’s omnipotent. Clearly this is a desired outcome if he’s real.
It’s my argument for drugs and stuff too. People use religion to say it’s bad, but in my opinion it only proves that it can’t be. He created it and us. Obviously it’s intended to have these results and he wanted us to have access to it.
You’re not wrong, but why are you bringing that up in response to that?
Because the Jesus freaks will block positive progression, as always 😑
