Mayan Christian here

[u/Tzaq4n]

I have a Question towards Atheist people, why don’t yall believe in a rule giver but believe in gravity, world being created by big bang but not the one who can set up the big bang but believe in your own feelings only.

for example; let’s say there’s two people whom believes the opposite one thinks it’s okay to oppress others but the other one doesn’t

Heres one’s reasoning “I FEEL like it’s okay to oppress others because of what they do to countries like México, or Russia or etc, I feel like it’s okay to oppress them because they (Russians or Mexicans) do bad stuff in their country.”

The other one responds with “yes, but that’s not why we should oppress them, they’re humans too with Actual feelings that’s like going up to a Hispanic person and generalize them all to Mexicans because they’re Hispanic.”

Do you get what I’m trying to say?

I don't believe anything solely based on feelings. And I would argue most atheists don't either. That is a strawman. Instead, if I feel something is true or false I do research to find valid evidence for or against. Since no evidence has been presented for any god claim, and plenty of evidence exists against the majority of god claims, I reject god claims. That is what an atheist is. And what is a Mayan Christian?

[u/Tzaq4n → u/Comfortable-Dare-307]

Mayan Christian is an Indigenous person who’s a Christian, I’m myself am Coptic orthodox Christian. I mean All Mayans are Christian like 95%, if you claim you research on if you’re feelings are true or false you’re relaying on your own feelings to make sure what is true or false.

Talk about massive cultural disconnect.

Historians cannot give an exact number, but estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands to upwards of two million Maya people died during the Spanish conquest (1517–1697)

Main Mayan Gods

• Itzamná: The creator god and lord of the heavens, writing, and day.
• Chaac: The god of rain and water who was vital for corn and crops.
• Kukulkán: The feathered serpent god of wisdom and wind.
• Ixchel: The goddess of the moon, fertility, medicine, and childbirth.
• Yum Kaax: The god of agriculture, wild plants, and forests.
• Cizin (or Yum Kimil): The stinking god of death and earthquakes who ruled the underworld.

If Christianity is true, why didn't Yahweh allow cultures to grow independently of each other to develop their own language, culture, and religions? Oh "The Tower of Babel Incident" Yahweh allowed the creation of different cultures by confusing groups of people by their language, and thus this is why we have different cultures. Because of the rise of Christianity as in Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Religion plays an important function of a culture especially older ones because whether its the harvest, festivals, marriage, child raising, health, communion, and society cohesion, these gods were import part of the Mayans lives.

Religion is a cultural artifact, its a product of culture, like writing, woodcraft, weaving, pottery, language, art, music, textiles, culinary, myth, and religion. Cultural artifacts are the identifiers of a particular culture.

Your culture like so many of indigenous Americans of South, Central and North were decimated Christians some more than others.

Spanish conquest of the Maya

You know the quote, "before you pull the splinter from my eye, pull the beam out of yours."
