If there is a god i would like to think he would make people stop classifying one "god" as the typical christian lord and rather actually go towards learning all religions before trying to disprove the existence of any divine beings. Oh yeah and im an atheist too but i can still respect the faith of others. Its not whether or not their beliefs are physically possible that matters, its whether or not it makes them happy. That's all that matters.

Jhon you post a silly argument. Right or wrong, who gives a shit? Just live your life doing what makes you happy. As long as you dont hurt anyone else why the hell do i care what anyone else thinks? Why do i care if its plausible or not? As long as it makes them happy than who honestly gives a fuck? Why must you try to ridicule someone for believing something that makes their lives more enjoyable? Or must everyone conform to your standards of living?

Freedom of choice is a good thing, learn to respect other peoples choices before you can expect anyone to respect yours.

I reject religion to a near militant degree, and I don`t respect the choice people make. When I hear, or read, someone trying to justify their religious choices, it makes me facepalm endlessly.

I`m starting to believe NuclearSilo is a troll. It`s impossible for someone to to sabotage their credibility as often as he does without doing it on purpose.

It's actually kinda nice to see that we can have discussions about matters like this, but it's not cool to bash others on their beliefs, no matter if it's different to yours. Keep it clean for real.

Would it make you happier if I put a little "(s)" after it? I'm quite aware of other religions with multiple deities.

Ehh when I hear my friends talk about their beliefs I think to myself how they can possibly believe it all. Everyone thinks differently though, so I'll respect their decisions. Besides.. there's no "proof" they're wrong, right?

I disagree. The internet is now pretty much one of the main ways to communicate and the cheapest way to communicate globally because so many people use it now.

But yea hardcore creationists are idiots. Even with a shitload of evidence piled up their ass they still stick to every word of their bible, koran, torah, vedas or w/e the **** else their religious text is.

Creationists, answer me and i'll follow you all.

1. Earth age: around 6k years for creationists X Million years Fossils?
1.1. Did god create the dinosaurs and forgot to mention it on bible?

2.
If Adam and Eve are the real 1st ones, was the world populated through incest?
2.1 Is the incest "legal" on bible?

3. Why there arent clear evidences about the most popular facts and ppl in bible?
3.1.God created everything, interfered on historical facts, showed himself up a lot in the past. why doesnt he do the same nowadays?

think its enough for now
Looking for the perfect MMORPG.

Creationist is the Christian cop-out imo. After all these years you are faced with overwhelming scientific evidence that most of the stuff written in the book supposedly passed down from god himself is wrong. Now you can either blindly continue to worship or if you want to sound sensible you can just make god a cosmic scientist instead of a cosmic douche. All of a sudden things like evolution, shifting tectonic plates, and dinosaurs are all ok. Its just that god made it that way.

Now if christians had believed god was a cosmic scientist then that would actually explain a tremendous amount of things very easily because the most important thing to a scientist isn't morals or values its the science. Christians didn't say that from the get go though. They painted an image of god as this righteous guy who can do no wrong an works all things for good. So when faced with anything they consider evil they just say it was made by this other guy, the devil who god in his infinite wisdom also saw some need to create, probably so he could use him to punish the creation he hadn't created yet whenever they disagreed with him even though choice was the only unique thing about us.

Now i used to be atheist but have since decided that since i have no proof of god doesn't exist i can't say i firmly believe he doesn't because there is a possibility he does. Do i believe in the judo-christian version of god, no. If god were to exist he's probably be a cosmic scientist because if this whole universe was just someones petri dish that would explain alot. I mean, wouldn't you tune into that dish every night just to watch the next crazy thing we come up with. So i've decided to be technically agnostic. This is not to say i don't know what i believe but more to say that frankly i don't give a damn whether is comsic einstein or cosmic douche im going to do whatever.

Saw all 29 of those vids, pretty good and interesting ones too, I find it kinda sad how they can think some of the stuff they do, and how they deliberatly turn things around and simply try to get ppl to believe what they want.


I couldn't care less what someone might believe in, but keep it yourself and those who also believe in it.

Being honest is not the problem. Being offended is the problem:)
Like you make an argument and i listen to you(even if i dont give a s-hit about it i listen to) and reflute your arguments and you take that as an offense. Sure not directly, but you would say i am this or that for calling others idiots(for example, in theory, its not real)

If it makes them happy to remove the teachings of evolution in all public schools and replace it with intelligent design... If it makes them happy to reintroduce prayers and bible studies in public schools... If it makes them happy to erect a monument of the ten commandments in government institutions... If it makes them happy to ban contraceptions and other medical drugs... If it makes them happy to turn a nation into a theocracy... If it makes them happy to pass down their ideas to innocent children... If it makes them happy...

There are numerous things religious people can do, without the need to physically harm others, to completely destroy a community and be happy themselves. The examples I gave is just the tip of it.

---

If an idea or belief is ridiculously wrong, it's beyond rescue of any form of logic or reasoning, you don't ignore it and let it propagate. You either change it, or destroy it. Doing so otherwise is intellectual treachery.

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

I just think you should be less offensive towards those who do not agree with you. If tomorrow I found out my best friend was a hardcore creationist I wouldn't mock him, I'd respect his beliefs and continue on.

...And I care why? All these stupid one liners just so you could tell me what kind of person I should be and what kind of person you are? Honestly I could care less. Why shouldn't I be offensive? Creationist take thier beliefs, oblivious to every reasoning thrown at them, shove it down the throats of the masses, and if you scutinize thier beliefs they shun and condem you to hell? Honeslty I believe I'm actually passive on this topic. Hmmm...I mighta mix destructionmama's post with Azilius, I can't remember threads been posted for 2 days now right? Didn't think Azilius woulda came back so didn't pay attention to his post...
