I thought about saying “you know it’s a grift when they collect personal information and leak it.” According to their Bible, you don’t need an app to pray. They say church (or a covenant, I forget, it’s been 30+ years since I read the KJV) is when any two people come together to talk about Jesus (sorry!). So, where does an app fit in? And why does that app need your personally identifiable information (referred to as PII in industry). Wouldn’t an all-knowing God already have it?
But you don’t have to know it’s a grift… I feel like this is proof the Vatican (or whoever made this app on their behalf, and thus speak on their behalf… and the Pope allegedly speaks on God’s behalf) themselves know it’s a grift. Because why would they need your PII?
I know, fools and their money are soon parted… just saw this on /all and figured the Fediverse’s top Atheism comm should have it.
Absolutely. You identify the process of evolution based on evidence (well done, some theists can’t even manage that), and then you attribute it to a creator despite there being no reason to make that jump.
Faith is weakness, an assumption made in the absence of fact and stubbornly held despite what any evidence might suggest.
You worship the god of the gaps. “We don’t know, so it’s probably god.” But it’s probably not. “We don’t know” means it could be anything. The odds of your baseless guess being correct are virtually zero.
Meanwhile, real people are being harmed as a result of your beliefs.
When you see a painting with the artist’s signature, what is more likely?
That there is an artist that painted it? or the brushes of paint rolled around the paper in a certain way due to the wind and it was created?
There is no artist’s signature on our universe. Stop making stupid false equivalences.
