--- Quote from: Azerath on October 09, 2009, 08:29:12 PM ---Truthfully, I don't know what to believe. I know that not all of the religious parts are true. I realize that are planet has been around for billions of years, and that creatures evolved into what we, and other species are today. But I don't understand how things were created, and how carbon-based life-forms became to be. I don't understand how time and this infinite space are possible. I don't understand what happens after death, but I would imagine your brain no longer functions, and you're dead. Pure nothingness for the rest of eternity, but you don't know that, because you're dead. When you're dead, nothing else really matters. I feel reincarnation is impossible, yet it still feels like I was something else before my human life. I don't understand how tiny atoms are controlled at all to make us work or function. Maybe it's controlled? maybe it just happens.? I believe that evolution is true... but maybe other things are too, and their story is wrong?I agree. Unless he's not as powerful as Christians think.I agree. But both Christians and Atheists try to force their belief on others. We are the same kind of people, but we think differently. I agree. --- End quote --- Ah the budding of a young mind bristling with so many questions about existence. Fills my heart with joy. This is the time of your life that you really find out what kind of person you are and what kind of person you'll try to be for the rest of your life. Keep searching for your answers as they're different for everyone. Don't let anyone guide you unless you feel it's true in your heart and mind. Trust me, if God wanted to show us he exists, he'd do something a bit more direct than an autograph on the moon. Those can be blamed on NASA all too easily. |

--- Quote ---Quote from: Rughugger on Today at 06:13:12 PM Silly Christianity! 1) The Chinese have a similar rule or law. If a spouse is caught cheating, the offended mate may kill them if only using their bare hands. Last time I checked, Chinese weren't Christian. Secondly, aethists kill spouses all the time for cheating with someone else. Not just Christian related again. Okay, I understand that now. 2) Everything I've prayed for this last year has come true to me. So if I believe in god and pray for world peace and no violence that would come true? I think not. 3) In the mid 18th century it was legal to beat your spouse with a rod no bigger than your thumb. That was pretty universal, not just limited to Christianity. Okay, I see your point there. 4) So a guy shouts a curse and two hungry bears come and slaughter a bunch of kids. Sounds like just a coincidence to me. But even so, that was the work of a prophet with a couple of well trained bears, not God. It's still the cold blooded murder of two innocent little kids, some prophet, I'm sure that will really convince people to join a religion! 5) You seem to forget exactly why this came about. Way to skip the important part and make it seem like a massacre of innocents. They had plenty of warning, 9 of them before that and they still didn't free the slaves they were commanded to release. You think the villagers had any say in whether the slaves got released or not? Either way it is still mass genocide. --- End quote --- |

--- Quote from: Youknowme on October 09, 2009, 08:26:05 PM ---My point here is, stop advertising your beliefs to the world, stop acting high and mightier then everyone else, and stop making an ass of yourself --- End quote --- Fixed as atheism is not a religion, but just a set of beliefs opposing the existence of god. --- Quote from: Nick4t on October 09, 2009, 08:27:49 PM ---Right, you would think that an all knowing being who has existed for all eternity would take the time to think about how he should create his first life forms. In a way, us humans that God created where just like someone releasing their first add-on, except God had a lot more time, like, forever. So God has no excuse for any of his mistakes. --- End quote --- I have no idea what you were trying to explain, especially the second part. --- Quote from: Block Builder on October 09, 2009, 08:22:07 PM ---Personally, if I was god and wanted my creations to believe that I exist, I would have written "Hey guys, I exist. -God" on the moon or something. As of right now, according to Christianity, I'm going to hell because I believed in something based on fact and I wanted to find answers instead of just taking the easy road and becoming Christian. --- End quote --- In the Adam and Eve story, god didn't punish them because they wanted knowledge, he is developing them. For an all-knowing being, he must have known that if he had placed the tree of knowledge and created figures of himself around each other, the figures will want to learn and eat the fruit from the tree. In a sense, Adam and Eve are his children, and he knew that one day they're going to grow up and be ready to face the world outside the garden, so he just waited for that time to come. Kind of like whenever kids are ready to get out of their playpen/safety zone, to see the world that exists beyond what they know then. It's a story of growing up. Anyway, God wants us to be independent. Explains the no signs that he exists. Though that's just christian side of a story that I can understand just don't really believe in. |

And why is calling him a homoloveual even necessary? Everyone believes in what they want to believe. They would rather die than change. Actually I changed and I didn't feel the need to die. You are another dumb forgettards who forces people to believe in nothing. He is a dumb forgettards? Wat If your in a tight spot, you need something to rely on. Not really. I had a quiz question I was stuck on and I didn't need to rely on anything but myself If you have nothing, your a lazy forget. Wat Will you forget the hell off. You discrace the world of beliefs and Imagination. Yes because having an opinion makes you, as you spell it, a "discrace" --- End quote --- |
