Failing to redress the issues facing young men will push them further towards the far right
in several areas there is now a reverse gender gap, with boys, particularly those from poorer backgrounds, struggling to keep up with girls
Do you think this is an important issue?
People need God
I’ve been told that free markets are just as good.
Let’s worship a politician instead!
Which one?
My current top two are:
The one which kills everyone, obviously! Why half measures?
Last I checked it’s humans killing boys in Ukraine and Gaza.
What’s the point of all mighty gods if they can’t be bothered to stop misery. If they do exist - they’re assholes.
Except He will
Any time now. Or in the past 10,000 years would be great
Then we’d all be dead without a chance to repent.
And then God said:
“Lol. Lmao”
What evidence is there that proves God’s existence?
I hate this stupid question so much.
It’s the fucking atheist gotcha.
Congratulations, you have contributed nothing to the conversation except for making this idiot rant for a thousand hours.
What convinced me was the New Testament - Basically, Jesus was a quite well recorded figure, and within a short period of time a narrative appeared about Him claiming to be God, doing miracles and then literally dying and physically rising from the dead. It rapidly started a movement of hundreds of people who were convinced that they saw Him alive, and many were willing to die for that fact if they didn’t actually die themselves. There is a lot of archaeological evidence for this early Church, and I have very good reasons to believe that the Gospels of Matthew and John were eyewitness accounts and the likes of Luke and Mark were compiled by eyewitness accounts from that time and location. Basically, the New Testament was written in the first century about a Guy Who’s existence and crucifixion is undeniable, written about His teachings, miracles and claims to be God, then His tomb was found empty and they claim they saw Him physically resurrected. It started a movement shortly after with the same narrative that hasn’t changed, unlike other legends.
Good videos on it that can explain it better than me:

Don’t you think the Jesus story would be a terrible way for an omnipotent being to send an important message that’s vital for everyone to hear? Just creating a normal human and plonking them in some desert backwater - who looks and sounds just like any other human. The only difference is he hears voices in his head, and can pull off some pretty mediocre magic tricks.
If all it takes is an appealing story to convince you that something with literally no evidence is true and you should devote your life to it, there are many other stories like that, check out the Baghavad Gita for instance. Some really wonderful characters and truly fantastic events - not to mention absolutely mind-blowing magic, all of it completely true (apparently).
