"Love thy neighbor" is the only truth in the whole damn book. Yet people refuse to obey even that. Apparently Jesus stuttered.

Sounds like someone’s favorite equation.

Stevie Wonder is blind. Love is blind. God is love. Therefore, Stevie Wonder is God.

Also. The ones who say “I am nothing without God” are mathematically claiming to be God.
frozensoul94
Religious people and math historically don't mix.

I expected shrimp instead of raspberries
znpy
does that mean that life is accepting god knowing the truth aka it's all bullshit ?
Rrrrgrr
Natural English Translation. Truth is Life without God. God is Life without Truth.
preparationh67
That's not how that math works
Hayven
Beyond school math there is math that allows for irreversible additions. We don't know what kind of structure GOD, LIFE and TRUTH are from.
Atomic2
If we assume Lie = -Truth. then God = Life + Lie
physicsisalwaysrelevant
This math assumes additive inverse. Maybe this set is not a group, and had no additive inverse.

AnonKneeMoose
But to religious types God = Truth which means that LIFE must be 0
AnonKneeMoose
So life is nothing
Xedi22
Basically. By trying to give life an ordained purpose they actually make it small and pointless. Diminishes the vast possibility of living.
theMonkeyTrap
yes that is the intended purpose, to convince life is nothing so afterlife and their version of 'truth' can be center-stage.

Maybe so, but at least they're not trying to use it to enshrine prejudice into law.
Ekibwurm
how dare they use logic and reason to debunk fanatic's forced beliefs
meanartcritic
How is it forced? It was on a tee shirt. They weren't preaching from the rooftops
ekimike
Preaching from the tee tops hahah
erwinmahatma
Come on, dude. I’m trying to discreetly peruse imgur at work. It’s not doing me any good to be snorting coffee onto my desk. +1
pareidoliaperson
Fanaticism is not preaching it's generizing and judging & critizing other people's lifestyle. You can see that you dont have to be religious
Nelliepoo
....it was a t-shirt.
pareidoliaperson
I'm not critizing the shirt guy, rather people in the comments who call a guy wearing t-shirt a "fanatic".
Ekibwurm
someone wearing a tshirt saying you need god to be alive sounds a bit fanatic to me... but hey i might be off...maybe....
pareidoliaperson
to be fanatic. /F
UpvotingtheHotButton
I think that last is the definition of an organized religion. People are after guidance from outside themselves. Poor bastards.
MarkySpaceMagnet
The problem with the shirt is what they really mean is God+ (their religion) = life

And: A SHIRT - A SHIRT = NO SHIRT SHERLOCK

Got stuck? Shirtlock
SirMora
So god=1/2 life and truth=1/2 life?
JackOfAllTirades
So if 1/2 life is the third statement in this comment... 3... 1/2 Life 3 CONFIRMED!
Spoopytoad
He should put on a shirt...
FCFiM
Furthermore, Sherlock - a shirt = no shirt Sherlock. Solve and it turns out Sherlock = a shirt.
lastmanonearthbutidroppedmyglasses
Should have been "NO SHIRT SHERRLOCK"
LetumComplexo
Idk I read it as No Shirt Shitlock and I think that kind of works.
BNabs
Also it implies that both truth and God are distinctly different things, not sure they really thought this through at all
Phlynch
It's a square/rectangle relation. "Truth" is all the things that don't change when your opinion of them changes. God does not change when
Phlynch
your opinion of him changes, so God is truth. However there are other things that are also truth that are not God, such as gravity.
AnythingMuchShorter
If god were real wouldn't gravity come from god?
Phlynch
Yes, but that doesn't make God gravity any more than it makes you or I God. You are not your creations.
AnythingMuchShorter
Then they used improper mathematical notation. Equal means equal. There is a different symbol for "is in the set of" but not the whole set.
yourlocaleconomicsnerd
It also implies that something is greater than God. Which is blasphemy

Except the equation doesn't say god/god
o4kill
Jesus = WAY + TRUTH + LIFE
o4kill
JESUS-WAY = TRUTH + LIFE apparently
AnythingMuchShorter
thinking things through is definitely against god
MarkySpaceMagnet
To speak against the church is to speak against god. Or as I call it a holy load of crap.
Hulagirl01
God gave you a brain.
AnythingMuchShorter
Even if god exists, religions that say "faith is vital, don't doubt or go to hell" (read: most of them) are obviously a scam.
AnythingMuchShorter
Think about it. If someone says "hey, here is a thing that gives me power. The proof only can come after you die, so no one can provide
AnythingMuchShorter
evidence. The biggest rule is that you never question it and believe, and help me spread it. If not you are tortured forever, also after

Now find the root using the quadratic formula
FieldTester96
How? This is not a quadratic equation its linear
RyRyThEsUpErFLY
A=0. Still checks out!
RyRyThEsUpErFLY
As long as you allow division by 0.
FieldTester96
Division by zero is infinite though
HaloArchitect
You can use the quadratic formula on non-quadratic formulas if you're not worried about pesky things like undefined values.
probablynotanorange
Just get a dictionary and define them, duh
firesword14
Yes, truth is the constant, life a variable of first degree and god a variable of second degree.
gljames24
truth is an asymptote; you can only ever approach it
iDontKnowAllYourSecrets
The closer you get to the truth, the more wildly society diverges from it
Imgurlerker
“Truth is a constant”. Not if you’re Republican.
SFMGifs
That’s a fallacy
WinterWolf101
Whats with people consistently attacking god, Why not just leave a person's faith be?
SuperLuigiBrothers
I'll gladly do that just as soon as the Christians stop trying to put their faith into legislation.
digitiliad
Couple of prerequisites not being met here for me to care. First, they aren't capable of attacking God, just your faith. Second, they aren't
digitiliad
doing a very good job of it. It's mostly childish word games and abstractions. Some of them are even funny, like this one. It's a clever use
digitiliad
of basic math skills. Faith isn't a reasonable thing to begin with, though. If it was, it wouldn't be "faith". It follows that reason is the
digitiliad
first weapon people would use against it, however crudely. As for why, some people feel alienated by faith, some are rebelling, some are
digitiliad
trying to feel better about their own beliefs or lack thereof, and sometimes jokes just be funny. Believing in Jesus is no reason to walk
Xedi22
Because those of faith are often not letting others be..or at least, their institutions, corrupted for power and control. (See also: US GOP)
tarataqa
Because it's fun to mock simpletons like conspiracy nuts and flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers and republicans and religious types.
Ryann85
Based on your comment I can tell you are a fucking moron and a piece of shit. But you're right! It is fun to mock idiots like you. :)
DuelingBrothers
It's because no idea should be above ridicule, and there was a point in time where you'd die for blasphemy. God jokes let us know we're free
Mayfly10
The person wearing the t-shirt was also not leaving other people's faith be. Why should 'respect faith' only exist in some cases?
NoNameFred
Considering that the only references I can find to this "t-shirt" are reposts of this joke, I suspect that no one has ever actually worn it
Mayfly10
Having looked, you're right. But also I saw a good dozen pro-religious printed statements while I was out and about today.
Ryann85
So someone wearing a tee shirt infringes upon your rights? It wasn't offensive. It was expressing their belief in a non combative way...
Attaroo
So someone posting on a board infringes on your rights? And who are you to determine what others find offensive?
Ryann85
First sentence - wtf are you talking about? Second - if you find that shirt offensive then you have some issues.
Mayfly10
No, it doesn't. Nor do anti-religious statements infringe on the rights of religious people. It goes both ways.
SuperLuigiBrothers
So a comedy shitpost infringes upon a christian's rights?
Ryann85
When people make fun of religious people as a result...ya. you don't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed bud...
SuperLuigiBrothers
I'm sorry, could you explain to this dull tool what rights are being infringed on?
DracoSicarius
Because people automatically assume the nut job "religious" assholes are representive of the whole religion so it's funny and hip to bully1/
DracoSicarius
religion while also expecting religious people to never speak up, because if they do then they're being oppressive automatically. 2/2
SexGolem
Yes because religious people haven't been sticking it's dick EVERYWHERE for the past 5000 years. You pooor snowflakes!
DracoSicarius
Ah yes punish everyone today for the mistakes of others from today and the past. Same line of thinking as hating all white people today 1/

Ryann85
Riding mount stupid of dunning kruger very hard. And I am not religious, I just know that no human is intellectual enough to know with ...
Ryann85
Any certainty whether or not there is a god.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I've rarely seen that. Some do claim it, yes, but most simply don't believe in god. Which is different than being sure there is no god.
Shinikitty
Being non-religious and scientific minded. I conduct myself based on the evidence. I agree that there is no evidence that God doesn't exist.
Ryann85
Same here. Now I certainly agree that lack of evidence and supernatural basis leads me to be skeptical. But humans know remarkably little...
Shinikitty
There is also no evidence that God does. I act on the more likely of the two that God doesn't exist and will change if new evidence comes up
Knovar
For that reason, being agnostic makes the most sense. To be so sure there is no afterlife is imo just as faithful as to be sure there is.
pandasmakemehappy
It's just edgy people being edgy. Whether you're religious or not we share this world with literally billions of people who are.
physicsisalwaysrelevant
Is very popular on imgur though. Often on front page
WinterWolf101
Mainly due to the fact left hate on Christianity, which the left dominate this platform.
physicsisalwaysrelevant
That's not true in general. Almost half of registered democrats report that they pray daily. Republican party is higher, but "mainline" >

Humans + Knowledge = God + Wrath, that's just math for you.
DaveSamsonite
That parable establishes that man was created w/ no knowledge of evil or shame in a perfect paradise with only one rule. Broken immediately
DaveSamsonite
The notion of perhaps being a perfect human was shot from the beginning, we are all flawed by virtue of descending from humans.
DaveSamsonite
It’s just foundational context. God created man. Clearly he would have just destroyed the first two and started over if actually “angry.”
DaveSamsonite
We will all disappoint those that created us. Get used to it. Try to follow the rules. Be aware of when you don’t. It’s not religion.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Not to you maybe

TheNamiKage
Trump is god. Makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. 2/2
LackadasicalGoblin
They did make the leap. Dont forget the gold statue (rather cartoonish looking) at CPAC
maskedrabbit
it was basically the "tree of thinking you know better than god himself" and fuck if that isnt a sin many "holy" men are guilty of
tyrsfavoritesword
I've heard it argued that it was the tree of knowledge including the knowledge of sin, if we didn't eat it we would have no knowledge of sin
tyrsfavoritesword
You're right though. And Christians don't follow Jesus, or there'd be no established churches.
maskedrabbit
As a quaker (member of religious society of friends) I'd say we wouldn't have clergy or established leadership. We could still have churches
tyrsfavoritesword
Shit... I forgot about y'all... you're right but rare. And to my knowledge not in texas... we should fix that.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Me too tho. Controversial take: I think slavery is wrong.
maskedrabbit
So that's a case of supposed holy men telling you what god said. The old testament was passed down so many times is basically hearsay
maskedrabbit
I mean the pro slavery thing being hearsay. Jesus said to love your fellow man and treat others as you want to be treated that anti slavery
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Buddy, by that logic the entire Bible is hearsay. Which is of course what it is, but not to believers.
Attaroo
Jesus could have told his followers right then that slavery was wrong, and didn't. And in the new testament it tells slaves of Christians
Phobetor42
Something as an apparently omniscient being he knew they were going to do anyway.
graehall
Right? That's what I realised after being raised in a super fundamentalist sect. He designed them, he'd know they'd do it. It's all nonsense
Kittynomnoms
Yep. Thinking that free will can exist when there's an omniscient being involved just means you don't understand the concept of omniscience.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
...she said twice, but didn't care to explain.
Attaroo
Plus, and this is a big one, why create it in the first place? Why put it next to them in a near infinite universe. And why lie to them
Attaroo
about what would happen if they ate from it - he said 'you'd surely die', but it was ininitely more punitive than that. You can really tell
Attaroo
that they had no concept of the omnipotent, omniscient god when this was written. The evolution of mythology.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
...and as a creator created them to do.
Attaroo
Plus why create the thing in the first place? And why put it next to people instead of say the Triangulum galaxy. shit's fucked up yo
DatDarthCaedus
Then the first humans left the garden, and they had two sons, who in turn had more children with someo... oh. Oh God, no.

This ignores free will; a gift and ultimately a test. It's a major tenet of Christianity, we are free to make our own choices, good or bad.
MrNecrophile
Note; I'm agnostic. I don't follow Christianity or believe in it, but I try to understand the moral questions it poses and why they're asked
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
There's no such thing as free will, sorry.
SexGolem
No. For the last time: an omniscient god means there can't be free will.
MrNecrophile
A bit passive aggressive. Care to explain your statement?
Ghalagor
No matter what we are going to do, god already knows all our decisions before we're even born.
Kittynomnoms
Yep. Not understanding that means you don't actually understand what omniscient means.
MrNecrophile
I could say the same to you, see omniscience and freewill; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_free_will
