(Note: im not saying this isnt true, what im saying is that noone has any sort of evidence to prove this is the case therefore we cannot conclude that its true)
It feels like they are now looking for any reason to justify their beliefs and its frustrating. You should never make conclusions based off made up evidence. I asked her if she believed they wouldn't stop until the pictures are taken down, so i asked her and what if the earthquakes stop before. Does that mean you were wrong and all this was a hoax? No thats isnt what it means apparently. Perfect example of close mindedness, once an idea is in your head its not coming out and its a terrible practice to be in, it discourages creative thinking and willingness to take in more correct facts.
Additionally i am expected to believe news articles and stories written from unknowns (though it doesn't actually matter who it was written by) as miraculous events, when they are completely unrealistic and irrational, have no real proof and in a world full of liars and crazy people how am i expected to believe such an extreme idea. On top of all this the fact that they will instantly shut down any idea that is outside the scope of their religion, again close mindedness.
Sure religion brings some moral values but these moral values only exist within moral people anyway (e.g. they are already moral) you see religious people all the time acting immorally and it seems like only the moral religious people act morally, just like only the moral non-religious people act morally (and i wouldn't say there are that many less either). Now i have nothing against religion, if you are comforted by the idea that there is some supernatural being/beings of some sort and you believe that then good for you. But just think about things, e.g. there is a chance a statue will turn around in a church, there could have been many other factors, maybe the statue was secured in a way that it could only twist when there was an earthquake? i could go through possible scenarios all day and noone would have any facts to counter a lot of my scenarios. So my point is, dont believe anything without supporting evidence.
Its ok to ask why, infact you should ask why, if you want to be the best you can be and the most intelligent you can be then i would encourage you to ask why to everything. If you dont want become a better person (not saying that you should or have to, it's perfectly fine and reasonable if you dont want to, and when i say better i dont always mean kinder or more noble, could be smarter etc etc) then feel free to sit how you are, but if you want to improve your life as it is now open your mind and start learning from everything, learn why and you will learn more and remember more i garuntee.
Ok now that I finally got that out of the way ill take a break, ill go punch a wall or something
