fiddy ghosts and invisible friends! :thumbsup

not to be the.. devils advocate :winkwink:

but the older i get, the more i realize how tenuous proof and evidence can be, considering how perception works

all i know is religion and 'God', whatever it is, has got us this far

How do you know it hasn't held us back. I see way more evidence that it has destroyed knowledge throughout the years.

Christian and Catholics have destroyed thousands of books and writing over the years because it conflicted with their teachings and in many cases may have shown their fraud.

Muslims have done the same. So many libraries have been burned it's insane. More than half of all the great Greek literature of antiquity was burned and lost to us. We have references to books and writings but we don't have those books because insane religious people burned them because they didn't agree with their bible or Qur'an. We call this period in history the dark ages. If atheism would have been allowed to flourish as it was beginning to do during the height of ancient Greece we would probably be several hundred more years advanced than we are now. At one point in Greece was over %10 atheist and there were some great atheist and deist philosophers.

pretty much sums up my view on it. But if YOU want to believe in something, and having that belief makes your life better... Knock yourself out !

Just dont come and burn down my house cause I dont feel the exact same way :)

Yes, just look at how the USSR excelled due to its godlessness. Go atheism.

Wow, a lot more atheists here than I thought there would be. Kind of comforting. They say atheists only comprise roughly 5% of the population but I've never believed that statistic. I'm sure it's more like 20% but most people prefer not to admit that they don't believe.

I'm a little old for invisible friends.

I'm not - Mine is called David :2 cents:

My invisible friends don't believe in me any more.

From Sept Last Year...

creator vs self creation

so there is examples of people from every religion destroying things? how coincidental.

i notice that atheists now number almost 20% of the US population

war doesn't seem to be slowing down however, nor the destruction of historical monuments or writing

next time maybe

Ill find out with I die, thats good enough for me but the idea of a supreme being is just that, a idea and no evidence, well at least using a scientific method. Who knows what this life is, all I know is, we are not all born equal, most have no honor or heart for others.

definitly

stupid poll for stupid atheist people

I believe there are 'higher' entities out there. Would I call 'em Gods¿? Probably.

What I'm certain is that the God christians, jews, muslims, protestants, catholics, etc praise is a fuckin' joke and a huge lie. Probably the biggest lie in human history. :2 cents:

lobster spaghetti and meatballs god?

Flying Spaghetti Monster. :) His followers are called "Pastafarians".

I'd have to lean towards no. I do accept the possibility that someone or something could have set things in motion, but definitely not some super Jew floating around on clouds. I am certain of that.

Best posts in the thread thus far.

People, believe, don't believe, put all your faith in Science, put it all in God, whatever floats your ark. But those of us who can truly say they are openminded as well as non judgemental have a leg up in life on those who aren't. This I know for certain.

Sorry but there is no God. It's all evolution & science, people, nothing else. Wake up or miss out on life.

Funny how "god" / "jesus" was parting seas, walking on water, curing the plague, raising the dead, talking thru bushes that are on fire, flooding the earth, ect, ect, ect in the good old days. But since the invention of the camera they are only found on toast or a reflection on a pane of glass.

I'm with Hawking, "No room for a creator". This is all.

Involving yourself in a "God" thread is like chopping your dick off and hoping it will grow back bigger.

The funniest part of this whole 'God' thing is that it all begins with group of goat herding nomads, called Israelites at the time, who were literally nobodies in a world where the great early civilizations were taking great leaps forward in science and technology, taking it upon themselves to fabricate a fantastic story about the entire history of the universe conveniently writing themselves in as the main characters - imagine that, the entire universe created and centered around a tiny unremarkable tract of land that these nomads wandered back and forth across it from season to season

even more incredible is that after 2,500 years, the entire Western and Middle Eastern world still continues to be obsessed with and believe in this God these ancient Jewish storytellers dreamed up. the Bible locked itself in to a creation date of 6,000 years ago, while science has proven that the universe is 12 BILLION years old - Jews are smart, they won't take the bait and get into any debates, the real dumb Christians though do all the time and make complete fools of themselves in hopeless attempts to convince themselves that anything science discovers or proves about the cosmos doesn't make the Bible any less the truth, 'it all fits together brother, intelligent design' - of course it's total bullshit but for many it allows them to hang on to something they need in their lives.

Self serving cultist cunts.

I believe in dualcorns :thumbsup

what the jews did that was different was stating that god had a personal relation/interest in each person. that had never happened before. religions before the jews focused on royalty and the common man was just a redshirt that would be reincarnated and forced to do it all again a needed.

yes of course, all action is the result of motive and opportunity and all conversation is rationalization :2 cents:

AND a dogs butt :thumbsup

You can convince a kid to believe in anything.

To Believe Evolution, Mathematically, You Have A Greater Faith Than I :2 cents:
