Why do people laugh at creationists?

[Azilius]

because they are different



/thread.

btw, Doe, no.

Ha..ha =)

Nicely said.

Maybe you should explain why it doesn't say 'Edited by Azilius' at the bottom like your first post while you're at it.

Because if there's nobody posting beneath you it won't show up?

Ah, nevertheless I knew he was referring to someone else since my second post was part of the 'discussion'.

Minority. Everyone gets a kick outta the minority. Just a fact of life.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A campaign promoting atheism on London buses this year ultimately "served God's cause" by reminding people of the importance of faith, especially to those who suffer, a top papal preacher said on Friday.

Buses bearing the slogan "There's probably no God. Now enjoy your life!" hit the streets of London in January and the atheist publicity stunt was replicated in other cities, attracting widespread media coverage.

What? Who said that the Earth is only 6000 years old?

The bible/creationists do.
I wouldn't mind religion if it wasn't mucking up the world by messing up schools(or trying to) and if it wasn't sucking up millions if not billions of tax-free dollars a year.

Did they really write "year" or just a kind of ref of the time and ppl mistake to our "year" by translating it wrongly?

I don't care about what people believe about the creation of the earth, I care about how this entire world/planet/physics all were created.

If it was created by god, then how was god created? How was god's creater created etc etc?
I do not believe in any god somewhere up there, but I have always had the strange hope of an answer heaven where all these questions and more are answered.
I just can't grasp a term like infinity. How can something not have an end? And if it can have an end, what's beyond the end?
I can understand how people can interpret these unknown things as a higher power, but I just can't see why a god would create a world like ours. Why can't we fly? Why can't we have sex on demand? Why god, why?! I think Xemnas put it somewhere along the lines of: "if there is a god, he must be one big cosmic douche". I wholeheartedly agree; if there is a god, and our current world is what he has in mind, he must be a douchebag.


So many questions, and I'll probably never get an answer. (Or maybe I will *says a quick prayer to the answer god* )

no woutR, you will get your answers, after you die. Welcome to the unknown world.

It's all relative. People in third world countries will ask "why didn't god make a world where i can have a proper meal each day? Why didn't he make a world where my life expectancy is above 30?

Yet someone from a developed world who has that wants more, "why can't i fly? Why cant i have sex 24/7?"

And the people who have that.. "why didn't god make a world where i can shoot lasers? Why didn't he make my head a dinosaur?"

The cycle never ends. Everyone wants more and more from a "lord" and its all relative to what they already have. If a god exists he gave you what you have because he wanted to. It does not make him a douche, it makes you a douche for wanting more. Learn to like what you have.

I didn't mean that in a way that I am not content with what I have, but more like that it's strange god stopped where we are right now, when he could've made life so much more practical and more enjoyable.
Also, if mankind always was happy with everything they had we wouldn't have any progression at all, so it's not really all that good to just be happy with what you have. The desire for more has made this world both a better and a worse place.

What you say about god giving us what he wanted us to have really proves the fact he's a douche. He wants people to suffer with strange diseases? What kind of person does that?

Dude, we are in Earth, not in Heaven. That's why God don't give what we want. Earth is kinda a punishment place. We've got to live on our own

no, i think hell is also a punishment place, but it's worst than earth. Like you are in prison is different with being in a torture camp of military.
And ofc, in prison, you can't ask this and that as you wish.
