What haven't I looked into?
There is no reason to believe the Abrahamic God exists, and at least one very good reason to beleive that he doesn't.
How can a mind exist independently of a brain? How can a non-physical entity interact with the physical world?
The afterlife also had issues that need to be answered: How can I perceive being in heaven or hell without my senses? If these places are unable to be perceived, then how do we know they are there?
Souls has an issue as well: What part of me contains my soul? What traits does my soul even have of the damage, deformity, or absence of some part of my physical form has been established to be able to remove basically any function commonly attributed to the soul?
Other questions abound as well, like: why did God create the things we perceive as bad in the world, like jews and blacks? Why did he create the things we perceive as good?
Why should I believe in anything the Bible says? Why should I believe in what religious authorities claim? How do you know you aren't being fooled and lied to in yet another way?

Then you make a list of cringe atheist assumptions fit for nothing more than debunking santa. Do you really think hundreds of years of white european philosophy can be thrown aside by going "HURRRRR HOW CAN GOD BE REAL IF I CANT TOUCH HIM ? HUH? CHECKMATE"?.
The brightest minds in the world, the whites that were wise to the tricks of kikes, were all christian, for a thousand years. People who lived good lives, with large families, freedom and land. You think your enslaved, ignorant ass can dismiss their wisdom without even making the slightest effort to read their writings or listen to their teachings?
Fucking atheists man, you're the worst of the worst. At least the satanic kikes know were they stand in the world, you guys are fucking clueless.
"HURR GOD MADE EVIL? ALSO GOOD? LOL CHECKMATE"
Fuck off.

I think you are a leftist shill, you talk like leftists do and you bear the same attitude, no substance, only being obnoxious and smug, while refusing to actually engage with your opponent, you instead mock and belittle them. this is how someone with soylent blood acts towards dissenters.
This is next to the guy who actually answers my questions is someone who makes Christianity look good, he treats me with the respect I've shown to him, tries to address my queries, and tells a good story that actually sounds like something I could entertain as a possibility, I'm really buying the whole "shem, japeth, ham" idea ass a plausible history of mankind.
You on the other hand, sound just like the other atheists who've shown up on here at around the same (recent) time, invested in getting atheists and Christians to hate each other on this platform by agitating each against the other, and generally being the asshole you are being right now.

Of course, you tell outright fucking lies, the pagans were woke to the jews before they built great civilization and became comfortable, leading to a decline in their vigilance and eventually succumbing to subversion, which triggered their decline.
Christians displayed the same pattern, with their leaders being corrupted into protecting the jews and providing them with special powers over the government and people, some of the worst examples of jewish corruption occurred in Christian nations:
Europe: - The establishment of the jewish quarters - The passing of special protections and privileges for jews - The persecution of anti-jew activity in the middle ages - The letting in of the ottomans into Southern Europe - 400 years of ottoman occupation left alone by the powers of church and state despite the increasing cries for reclamation coming from the people (which was ultimately what led to the first crusade, it was the people, not the church, that was behind your "deus vult" memes) - The wars between European nations (over the Christian religion, no less) - The assumption of the "White Man's Burden" during colonialism (where they acted to uplift the negro to the White Man's level of civilization instead of just conquering them properly).
America: - The acceptance of Jews into the new world colonies upon achieving independence. - The acceptance of niggers into the colonies (as indentured servants, who were up to that point exclusively White) - The passing of slavery in the United States (by a case brought forth to the supreme courts by a negro who wished to own another negro as his slave, who was represented by a kike lawyer). - The denial of the right of states to secede from the union, even though such a power was guaranteed to them by the foundational documents of the United States. - The abolition of slavery, on the false promise of the removal of all blacks from US soil. - The refusal to follow through on the promise of the eviction of blacks from the US upon the reception of the news of the failure of Liberian colonies. - The Great Depression, and the answer of the (((New Deal))), which saw the firm integration of jewish corruption into american systems, especially through the creation of a welfare state that the kikes had used for social engineering ever since. - The implementation of segregation, which was bad, and the solution of integration, which was worse, instead of separation, which was the only correct path to take if blacks were to remain in the Americas. - The 1965 Hart-Cellar immigration equality act, and the establishment of the (((melting pot))). - The Federal Reserve, and all the entanglements America had with the (((international banking cartel))) (eg. the World Bank and International Monetary Fund) ever since. - American Israeli relations being officially established and the creation of a Zionist Occupied Government in America, leading to the poisonous influence of groups like AIPAC being deeply entrenched into American politics.
World: - The first and second wars, which pitted Whites against themselves to the joy of the international jewry. - The establishment of the League of Nations, and the United Nations, and the European Union, and the North American Trade Organization. - The plans of the (((World Economic Forum))) such as the Great Reset and New World Order, had been planned in a very Christian Western first world.
All of the biggest kikery of white civilizations occurred in heavily Christian nations, all of them where implemented by leaders who were known to be strongly Christian, often Christianity was used in the arguments that persuaded people to support or tolerate these actions, and the overwhelming support for these things came from Christians who thought they were doing God's work.
Most of the people who support the jew agenda today are Christians, remember your priors, while they are the most visible and outspoken members the left is not mostly college students, there are simply not enough, also most conservatives are Christians and very much supportive of the jewish agenda as well, just with a few differences that are frankly irrelevant.
The work to fuck us over was largely done by the hands of those who prayed to Jesus as their lord and savior, the marxists are merely here to add the finishing touches, as the Christians had lost their utility. You could say they were fooled or deluded, you could say that their leaders were jewish puppets who never believed in God, and I agree, this is all likely true in most cases, but what does that say about your faith? when the majority of your fellows cannot tell the work of the devil from the work of the lord?
Most of the Christians are still fooled today.
I'd say it puts you on par with atheists, because we are experiencing the same thing, most of us are deluded into accepting ideas derived from pseudoscientific dogma as if they were ideas derived from scientific critical thought, I think if you look across the aisle, you'd find that you and they have a lot in common.
And when most of the Christians wake up, so too will most of the atheists. We are the same.

If you got someone who doesn't want certain things to happen, and has the power to stop them, and knows all about them, you got some explaining to do as to why he doesn't just stop these things. Likewise, if someone wants something to happen, and he has the power to make it happen, and he knows all about how to bring this about, you got some explaining to do as to why he doesn't just make it occur. For you, the reasons may be obvious, or this might just be a matter you'd prefer not to think about, but I'm the type to notice inconsistencies like these and not know how they can be resolved without just rejecting the central premise.
So, instead of defending atheism, you're saying pagans were virtuous? You're saying chaste, god-fearing, traditional peoples were admirable?
Cringe.

Us Atheists know there is more to learn.
Religious people "know" all the answers (it is all attributed to divine design) but they can't even tell apart their own lips from their assholes.
You are asking questions that have no answers, so a rational man can postulate there is no evidence for it to exist, a fool will just double down saying lack of evidence is proof in itself of an all-powerful creator.
“Abrahamic God” makes it sound like Abraham made the god. It’s the God that created the universe and all things in it. That occurred way before Abraham (and jews for the “Jewish god” argument too).
The “mind” generally refers to ones thoughts, while the brain is the physical material in the cranium.
The afterlife, as you seem to be referencing, is a pagan story with no biblical basis. According to the Bible: when you die you go to Sheol (the grave) from dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return. No dead men are up in Heaven or down in Hell. They have no thoughts, nor communicate with living men. The resurrection occurs at the end when all are judged. The damned receive the second death.
The soul is the living man, not independent. It is the body and breath together that became a living man. The concept of a separate soul is also pagan and is used to create nonsense like purgatory and praying to saints.
God didn’t create the bad things, he created free will. There is no such thing as love if you’re forced to say it and forced to act it out. People chose to decide for themselves what is right and wrong (knowledge of good and evil), and make laws dictating that collective ideology. Communism is the opposite of God. Obedience by force vs obedience by free will.
If you read the Bible and believe what it says: you won’t trust what the religious institutions and their “authorities” claim. They’re all 501 c3 tax exempt organizations, which makes them subservient to the whims of the state. They might give someone an elementary introduction to biblical principles, but you have to read it for yourself to understand anything.
Its the God that has Abraham as a common denominator patriarch.
The brain produces the mind, the structure of the brain is shown to affect the properties of the mind it produces and there is no precedent for a mind existing without a physical brain to produce it.
This is not something that makes sense, the components that make us up were once components in another living being, and after we die, those parts that make up our bodies will end up in the bodies of other living beings, if it were just between species that might be fine, but there's nothing to prevent it from being between humans, in fact, the components of long dead humans are almost definitely in you and I.
That is assuming that we ignore the fact that parts of humans end up in other humans all the time, such as on the case of donations, or cannibalism, or sex, as sexual reproduction will also transmit cells from me to you that your body will metabolize and integrate into itself.
Soul = living body Got it.
But where did the niggers and kikes come from? Where did natural disasters and diseases come from? Where did genetic disorders come from? Free will does not explain the origin of all evil, does it? Also, why would God command a covenant with Abraham and his descendants through circumcision?
What is the age of consent in the Bible? Asking because a lot of Christians on here are very big on the idea of fighting against a pedophike conspiracy, but it would be prudent to inquire as to what God considers to be pedophilia.
Also, on a related note, Sarah, wife of Abraham, was supposedly so desirable that the Pharoah, who had allied with the Hebrews and feared them because they had just cut a bloody swath through the desert, was willing to put his nation at war with this unstoppable army by trying to fuck Sarah, because he believed her to be the sister of Abraham, not his wife, cue biblical wrath and bloody war.
My issue with the story is that at the time Sarah was over 90 years old, and women that old tend not to be the best lookers in any era. Was she made to be beautiful by magical means?
Mind, as defined in Strong’s Concordance, and as used in the Bible, is from the word יצר which means imagination or the form of a concept.
We are made up of matter; the same material that the ground is made from. The word adam (man) has the word blood (dam) inside, which is where the life is, according to the Bible. Adam was made from the adama (ground): therefore the ground makes the body, but the blood (and the breath) makes the man. Without the blood, and without the breath: you have basic earth material.
If God has the power to resurrect, surely the power to repair a body is possible. When Jesus and his disciples went to visit Lazarus, who had been dead for 4 days (would start decomposing): A) the disciples didn’t understand Jesus when he said Lazarus was sleeping. He had to explain that to their worldly understanding Lazarus is dead; but to Jesus he is sleeping, or ceasing to be until resurrection. Jesus walked in and resurrected Lazarus and no signs of his decomposition were present. That is how it will be for everyone.
Noah had 3 sons; Ham, Shem, and Japheth. Ham means burnt, and black. Ham is the father of Canaan, Egypt, Cush, and eventually Africa. He is the bad son in the Bible. Shem is the good son, who’s bloodline continued to walk in God’s laws and righteousness. Japheth had to decide whether to follow Ham in darkness, or Shem in righteousness. He chose Shem and was allowed to dwell in his tents (protection by righteousness). Now Japheth had a son, Gomer, who had a son Ashkenaz. I’m sure in don’t need to tell you what happened with the descendants of Ashkenaz, and if they walk in darkness or righteousness; but they still try to use Shem’s tents today. The words Semite and Semitic mean descendants of Shem. Ashkenaz is not a descendant of Shem, but of his brother Japheth.
I don’t recall seeing an age of consent in the Bible, but God is clear that man is to take one wife and that’s it. Sex is for procreation, and to give your body for your wife’s (healthy) desires and vice versa. To even lust after another woman is to commit adultery in your heart.
About Sarah: God designed Adam to live forever. Eve listened to the serpent, Adam listened to Eve, and death was introduced as the wages of sin. Adam lived to be 930 years old. Cain, who chose darkness, took a wife and had children, who eventually took husbands of Seth ( Adams 3rd son) as it is written the the sons of God knew the daughters of men. This corruption shortens lives, so each generation of mixing continued to reduce the lifespan. Lamech fathered Noah at the age of 182 for example. Now after the flood, where Noah, his sons (detailed above) and their wives survived: God shortened the average lifespan to 120 years, because men had all proven to be corruptible, given enough years on earth.
God promised Abraham and Sarah a seedline that would number the stars in Heaven, and that the messiah would come from his loins. Sarah was baren, and they eventually doubted the promise given by God. Sarah told Abraham to sleep with her maid, Hagar, reasoning maybe that’s the only way to have his seedline. He did (sinfully) and had a son, Ishmael, who fathered the Arab nations. Sarah herself laughed when she was told she’d have a son, as she was baren, and way too old anyways. This was a miracle from God, who kept his promise. Had they remained faithful, it probably would have happened sooner, and without Arab nations to this day.
Abraham had faith in God, but doubt crept in from time to time. God made a promise to Abraham that he would receive a land forever, and all his generations would inhabit the land. This was an unconditional promise; but Abraham began to doubt again, and went back to God asking for some kind of seal or guarantee. God then made the circumcision (likely a reminder to be faithful and not wander after the daughters of men etc) as the seal.
As for Sarah’s beauty at an old age: it’s not specifically written why she was beautiful, but it’s a thread throughout Abraham’s sons’ wives as well. They’re stunningly beautiful, but baren, yet God gives them children. It eludes to a parallel that the women represent the “church” (those that keep the Commandments of God), and Egypt, or whichever evil power, lusts after them (wants to corrupt righteousness with the darkness they walk in). God leaves them baren (protection from corruption) until an appointed time, as long as they keep their faith in his promises.
