If god is real then why isn't the heart shaped like a heart?
Between any two numbers is the repeating sequence "DICKFUCKBALLSSHIT" that goes into infinity.
For me, that is god.
numerology for nerds
Yeah, I've certainly never seen evidence of a god, if anything like it exists it's outside of our reality and set it in motion. Like anything else, eg rocks and trees, humans have defined ability and range of motion caused by our actual physical forms. We seem to just be pattern seeking biological machines created by cause and effect over a long enough period. I don't even have evidence that our thoughts are our own rather than the fault of matter and energy constituting our bodies being in certain positions. If the position of everything (particles, subatomic units, energy) is just cause and effect since when everything started, or since any point in time after everything existed regardless of how it came about, then there's obviously no free will. Unfortunately I don't think we can prove or disprove from within reality whether or not it is all deterministic.

Hard pills to swallow: atoms don't stop following the laws of physics when they're in the shape of a human brain. behavior and subjectivity are direct results of the matter in your head.
I've seen arguments from scientifically minded folks for why they believe in "free will" and they always involve misunderstanding physics, neuroscience, or free will itself.
It always comes off as cope.

It's common for an argument to hinge on the randomness of quantum mechanics (whether quantum randomness is even relevant in brain function is an open question, but it probably isn't), but that confuses free will with unpredicatbility. Do you have "free will" if your behaviors are the result of dice rolls, the outcome of which you cannot control?
yes, the patterns are The Logos, an aspect/manifestation of divine mind
Define God

Hey it could be worse, it could be those "we live in a simulation" type dudes.
Why would i give a shit wether or not I live in a simulation I still have to pay rent and do the fucking dishes again
Chop wood, carry water, etc. Doesn't necessarily invalidate the whole exercise, but yeah perhaps worth putting it into the perspective of, 'ok, if so, so what?'.
