Does anyone here who has a high IQ actually believe in God and an after life?

[TOUCHEDbyMany]

Sure the exact conditions of Earth can be a fluke, but why is there anything at all in the first place?

It was a fluke of nature

But why does nature exist in the first place?

The question should be: " Is anyone high IQ enough to know that having faith is good for your mental health? "

With that mindset it doesn't matter if there's a higher being(s) or not

The low IQ take is that science and religion are at odds (science like science, not "science" ie. faucism).
Or rather belief in a creator instead of religion or whatever

Then you get into quantum physics and both religion/science start to entangle

Yes. Lost my faith in the mid 2010s. Around that time I also started reading tons of physics and cosmology books and articles. Started praying again in like 2019 and the more I read especially stuff like quantum mechanics the more I feel that it's impossible that the universe wasn't intelligently designed.

If you ever put a nice hot plate of food on your table and then don't eat it, it will get cold. According to science that energy cannot just stop. It has to go somewhere. Does that mean steak and taters must have an afterlife? If not, where does the energy go?

Thread title said high IQ, which you are obviously not if you're comparing heat dissipating to electrical signals from the brain

[Mark604]

Even if you believe this, what’s the point of trying to existentially disturb others? It feels like a cope for your own nihilistic misery.

Yeah cause I go knocking on doors trying to get people to believe what I believe in.

The Bible makes a number of objectively inaccurate claims about our surrounding environment then says you just have to have faith and we are told not to question it.

Religion and conclusions reached through the scientific method absolutely contradict each other.


(this is just semantics, but the reason I worded it like that is because science does not make any claims. It is a process)

[Manc33]

Who believes in ghosts?

If you do then ever wonder why they can walk through walls but they never fall through the floor?

We're in a simulation. God is a computer programmer ded fkin Srs

The only person here with a high IQ is gaydawg

You know it’s true because of how many times he says IQ when he thinks he’s making a cogent argument

[Voidgaze]

Lmao

A simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation.


I think it was Elon Musk who presented this idea that we are no where close to being the “base” reality, or a simulation made in that reality.

[blissful88]

Not every religious person is high IQ but every Nihilistic miserable ****git is low IQ

High IQ brahs only

When we die literally nothing happens you just go to sleep. There is no after life heaven etc

All of the world religions are fake.

I believe that there is some kind of thing that communicates to people though.

I have had direct experiences where I got important information that was immediately accurate.

I have also experienced intense feelings and images of people and then almost immediately I get some contact or alert from them.

Sadhguru talks about how some advanced yogis can communicate over distances and it reminded me experiences I've had.

Whatever all of that is, that's "god" that some people experience.

[TheAdlerian]

In my last post, I talk about having some immediate experiences giving me information about something that is happening or is going to happen.

Even before the simulation theory was popular I wondered about it.

Yo high IQ ****git, its afterlife. One word.

[FrankCostanza]

The fear of death and missing loved ones can make anyone a fool.

[Kev1972]

Just look at the motivations of the people pushing "god" on you and that should tell you everything you need to know.

Don't listen to what they preach. Look at what they do. The only thing they are interested in is the accumulation of wealth and power. Do you really think any of them are working selflessly for the betterment of humanity?

No. They're all social clubs that promote the elite in their organizations to high social positions, and all of them are seeking money, clout, and power. Vows of poverty and chastity are a joke. They just pay lip service to that while they are piping down the congregation, men, women, and kids. Churches are the most diabolical and evil places on earth.

I sincerely believe there are religious people who feel legitimately passionate about the primary concepts (we are doomed to a life of eternal torture unless we acknowledge God as our lord and savior), and out of a concern for other people, try to “save” them.

But the whole chit about people who cry because they are afraid for you when you don’t accept their truth….that is just sub/semi conscious narcissism.

[TaiMaiSchutze]

I know some religious intelligent people, but the key difference is they never attack science like the retards on this board. (Attacking the big bang theory, star formation, the theory of evolution, etc)

It goes into your posting energy.

I used the scientific method to prove it.

They actually are at odds. The Earth came into existence after light did, contrary to the bible. It actually violates everything we know about physics for the Earth to have existed before light did.

While I agree with your views on institutionalized religions, its worth pointing out that they do not hold a monopoly on the idea of a higher intelligence from which we spawned, despite the fact that they will obviously claim to do so.
So, strongly disagree with the idea that looking at these groups tells you everything you need to know.

Non-authoritative spiritual philosophies have plenty to offer.

Maybe they have useful moral philosophies, but there is not a single shred of evidence this intelligence exists. And if one did, there's little reason to believe it is friendly or cares about humans at all. It seems indifferent to our suffering.

They all started the same way. Some dude starts a cult so he can get power and pussy. Over time they evolve into organizations.

Look at the Mormons or Scientology. Two religions we've seen grow right here in America from weird sex cults to gigantic institutions. The god pill is the easiest way to get morons (mormons?) to do your bidding.

A little bit of brain washing + a few dumbasses to follow you goes a long way.
