Helium is lighter than air and arms won't grow back, gravity is real and regeneration or human limbs is not.

human limbs aren't real





Helium is lighter than air and arms won't grow back, gravity is real and regeneration or human limbs is not.

Exactly, there's a an explanation as to why gravity doesn't pull a helium balloon down, and because of that, it doesn't contradict the theory.

You're not real.

reality isn't real!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

TIME PARADOX...

"Why wont God heal Amputees?" is a very fundamental question in denying a god.

Why won't he? Something like 50% of Doctors believe in miracles yet, for some reason, amputees will not magically regrow limbs. If we're to assume that a cancer patient on the brink of death makes a sudden and unexpected full recovery and goes on to live a happy, healthy life until dying of natural causes is a miracle, then surely a child stricken with necrosis who undergoes an amputation, but whom regrows a limb is also entirely possible under the power of God, right?

I've tried talking to Christians about questions like this and it never works out. For every logical jab you have to make at the imperfect perfection of their Lord they have another veil of rationalizations that need to be poked at. My grandparents outright refuse to even listen to any of it and say something like "You can't play games with Faith, you just have to believe," which is the dumbest stuff I've ever heard in my entire life.


Christianity, and Religion in general, I have decided, is dying. People are no longer believing in what their parents do because of the magic of the Internet. Having the sum of all human knowledge at your fingertips and access to every antithesis centric to supernatural beings is dealing more damage to the numbers of church-goers than direct conversations and discussions about these topics in the comfort of a living room. Children getting curious and typing in "no god" in Google (as I did when I was 9) leads to questioning which leads to discoveries which leads to the disavowal of something unprovable and outright detrimental to the Greater Good.

I do not believe that Religion will disappear in my lifetime, but I think the time is coming within the next 60 years that less than half the Earth's population will be religious, then it's just playing the waiting game until the last generation of faithful die.

There's a difference between people who are dumb, and people who don't know their own religion.
Most dumb Christians don't even know half of what they're talking about, or believe in someone told them, not what the Bible actually tells them.

who gives a stuff how well they know something that is not true

it's like people who know everything about Harry Potter, or the Tolkein Universe, or Star Trek. You might be able to impress certain people with that knowledge but most people will not care

I'm pretty sure that's just you. Lol?

Either way this argument is stupid and everyone is blindly at each other's throats over a topic that isn't going to change.

If religion didn't exist people would find another reason to have an excuse to fight with people or not agree with them. Here's a message to both sides.

Religious People: No I won't convert. I won't follow a "righteous" path just to get a free ticket into heaven. Even if that were true if I don't agree with god's methods then I'd rather be sent to hell than submit myself to his blind cult of ignorant people.

Non-Religious People: Seriously, you're no better than Christians, Mormons, etc. Your god is pretty much just a theory in which you will defend if I so much as doubt a single fact about it.

Both: Shut the forget up, I don't agree with any of you. I like to have my own opinions and believe in what I WANT to believe. The concept of theories and religion are both nice, to have something to believe in. But now it's just turned into a method to control people or a way to be a pompous douchebag and promote yourself as being smarter than what you actually are.

but imagine having a starwars is better then startrek fight with a super startrek nerd. but he dosnt know anything about startrek for some reason. but hes sitting there defending it to his death lol.


thats whats going on here.

My parents have actually had problems with certain churches over Theology disputes. This one Church actually believed subtlety everyone was actually saved despite what they believed, which the bible clearly goes against. We left that Church after a couple services.

Slight derail much?

Define ignorance in this context.

Also, what are these "methods" that you despise so much?

Comparing a religion to a fiction book is a different story.
One is all on personal beliefs, the books are clearly fake.

Except hobbits, dwarves and elves are real.

Also keo, they don't force you to convert, they convince people.
Again, forcing people to convert is just another example of a person who is dumb in their beliefs.
