Yes, and they admit this outright. Seems that god can't stand on his own merits or up to even childish scrutiny.
Cris said:Jadon,
Why? I wasn’t asked if I wanted to be created. Presumably that was God’s idea. Why then if I was created would God then not make my life happy? Perhaps if I had asked it for something and it gave me what I asked then I would be grateful. But I see no reason to be thankful for an unsolicited life that apparently, according to your mythology, is likely to end in pain.
Dunno, is that something worth considering? Cosmology seems to have believable explanations for planet formation, I haven’t seen anything better.
What have giraffe’s got to do with air and earth?
Hapsburg said:Oooh, I've was savin' this for the "harry potter" thread (you know, where Jadon said that a fictional book is incredibly dangerous because it talks about magic and witches )
It'll suffice, it's purpose will be obvious for even retarded Jadon here:
But you have misunderstood then. As I see religion go into steady decline I have renewed hope that the human race will survive and be happier.You have asked or summed up in a few words the feelings of those who have lost hope in this system of things.
Dunno, do you have any reliable statistics to show things are any different to say 1000 years ago? Of course in those times people barely lived beyond 30, diseases were widespread, there were no antibiotics, and no concept of hygiene, and of course no internet, and the world was ruled by religion, otherwise known as the dark ages – so I’d say science has done a tremendous job making our lives significantly better, healthier and happier – religion naturally played no part in any of those advances.Why are so many people unhappy today? Are they really unhappy? Do they have their priorities right?
I don’t see any evidence that it does, quite the reverse.And why does all this questioning end up with GOD?
Fine thanks.Are you Okay?
Nope. I’m not bitter towards something that doesn’t exist. My issues are with subversive institutions like Christianity who promote irrational and dangerous baseless teachings especially aimed at children and the gullible like you.Did someone do something evil towards you that has made you bitter about GOD?
Nope. But I do feel enormous sympathy for you with your rather obvious and overwhelming indoctrination you have received. I’m unsure yet how to help re-educate you, but boy you are indeed in need of some serious help.Are you hurt inside and you really wish that GOD would make your hurt go away?
I have no idea what you mean by that – it sounds quite offensive.Do you sometimes wonder if people think of you as a human being?
Don’t be silly – fantasy characters like gods can’t hurt me and for the record I’m not aware that I have any problems – that’s your erroneous assumption.You know, to blame GOD THE CREATOR for your problems, is to like blame HIM for giving you the air that you breath, to blame HIM for giving you your loved ones, to blame HIM for the good things in your life.
Only in your imagination kiddo.The Creator is real - He Loves You!!!
But you have misunderstood then. As I see religion go into steady decline I have renewed hope that the human race will survive and be happier.
I think it may have something to do with the white whiskers, and the fact that your handle is the name of an ancient European royal house!Hapsburg said:Spoiled rich adult? What the fuck do you get that from?
I'm 15, live with my parents, and I definently do not have a lot of money, nor am I spoiled.
The Decline of Religionzion said:Cris,
The world has boundries far beyond Western civilization,( where people only get seduced by religion as they see miracle). Unfortunate but apparently this is true of west. But not necessarily true of other civilizations.
Creator definition has to do with Christianity,(not an anti-christian but an objective view :wrote this to remove any flaming possibility by religious fantics. ) it is by no means the defintition for other religions. The weird truth is that people follow everything that U.S. or west does. The religion however has been an exception. Prove me wrong and bring stats to prove that you have seen a steady homogenous decline.
I don't agree that a Christian or any god exists, according to the holy scriptures. Is that more specific? You see the thing is it doesn't really matter you can't expect Atheists to accept the bible if they don't believe god exists.Your question is too general - you need to come up with something that you dont agree with concerning the Holy Scriptures, and then I will explain to you where you got your wrong ideas in the first place.
I agree with this, however how do you know if a doctrine is contaminated? A catholic can easily say your religion is contaminated. How do you know you got the right one?Word of Advice - The trick (if I could use such a word) here is to try and get yourself as far away as possible from the contaminated doctrines of different denominations, otherwise you will have no chance at all in Seeing The Truth as I have Seen It!!!!
I am an atheist. I don't know how you define a serious atheist from a non-serious, but I'm willing to consider alternate viewpoints and ideas. I think we all need to be open minded and consider all possibilities that may be logical or reasonable.But beware not to stick too close too atheists - they have their uses but their designs are similar to demonists - I presume that you are not a serious atheist (just going along with the flow?? or monkey see, monkey do??)
Firstly Genesis (I assume you mean Genesis) is not an accurate account of the sequence of which things came first. For example it states that the day and the night came before the creation of the stars and the sun which we know is very untrue.Firstly, the entire Scriptures is full of scientific proof as The Creator is the Master Scientist. If you want, the sequence of the creation days can be likened to the scientific sequence of which things came first on this planet(do not confuse with evolution - it is a every which way but goes theory).
You very obviously don't know much about probability. But just to humor me please tell me the chance that the earth, or air could form on their own? Honestly no one really knows the probability it could equal 1 or 1:10000000, we don't really have a spare universe or solar system and millions of years to test the validity of any of these numbers.Have you ever considered the odds of 'air' and 'earth' forming on their own??
Do you not beleive the creator is perfect? If he was why does he desire or deserve our thanks?The very earth that you stand on should make you give The Creator the thanks that He deserves - shouldn't it?
Well he is to "blame" he's is the one that created this world is he not?You know, to blame GOD THE CREATOR for your problems, is to like blame HIM for giving you the air that you breath, to blame HIM for giving you your loved ones, to blame HIM for the good things in your life.
This is based on the incorrect assumption that because you have God constantly knocking on your skull and sitting on your shoulders, that the rest of us have God similarly intertwined with our psyches and are choosing to shut our eyes and ears to it. This is not the case. We simply have no connection with God - we don't see him, we have never seen objective evidence for him, and we don't believe a Book about him a) because the Book is wildly inconsistent, and b) it is only a Book with nothing but its own contents to support its assertions.Jadon said:If you read my previous posts you would have seen that I am of the firm belief that there is no thing such as atheism - it is a stubborn attitude designed and believed by its proponents in order to deny The Creator - this is the kind of situation where 'if you keep on saying there is no Creator, your wish might become real' - unfortunately, no amount of wishing and fanciful thinking and fairytales will be able to deny The Creator and the fact that HE LOVES YOU!!!
Heheh:geeser said:jadon: you seriously need to see a doctor your heads truly f**ked up, how can you in all seriousness continully spout such inane rubbish do you take lesson or something on how to be a f**king idiot.
you are an ameoba, no thats an insult to the ameoba. your are a germ. and yes I know this is flaming, but you refuse to believe anyone when they tell you there atheist, because you simply to thick. you are quite clearly the one with his head stuck up his arse, in fantasyland and you have the audacity, to tell us to use how heads for once, when you take your head out of your arse you may make more sense.
I shall not read anymore of your posts because your idiocy, makes me angry, and that not a nice feeling.
and I'd advise everybody else to do the same, your enough to cause mass suicides.
Here you say it doesn’t exist.…. that there is no thing such as atheism
Here you say it does exist and you describe its properties.it is a stubborn attitude designed and believed by its proponents in order to deny The Creator –
Apparently then no different to the stubborn theist like you who keeps trying to wish that gods do exist.this is the kind of situation where 'if you keep on saying there is no Creator, your wish might become real' –
Are you sure you are not really an atheist and have simply mixed up the exist/not exist position?unfortunately, no amount of wishing and fanciful thinking and fairytales will be able to deny The Creator and the fact that HE LOVES YOU!!!
You mean someone showing that a god exists will never happen?Which proves my point - if you cannot put an odds to something happening perhaps it is because you really know that it is impossible? - it can never happen!!
But you don’t explain why.THE CREATOR IS PERFECT - I did not say that HE desires our thanks, did I? I said, we as humans should give HIM the thanks that HE deserves - those are two different things.
There is no need for a creator of any type, whether we want one or not. An infinite universe is quite satisfactory.… you want a creator that will agree with the child or, you are still stuck in your childhood fantasies, which is why you reason like a small child.
You seem to have this completely backwards – the scientific achievements in the past 50 years have been increasing at an incredible exponential rate, and shows no signs of slowing down; and religion has been noticeably absent from these discoveries and consequent technological developments.I believe that mans discoveries in the field of science all give more credibilty to The Creator ( if you are asking), and right now, we have reached a brick wall - there are questions about this universe that we are no longer able to answer using science - my argument is that this is so because our leading scientists of the last 50 years especially, have moved away from The Creator.
You cannot be a Christian and a scientist at the same time, the term is an oxymoron, and the two disciplines are opposites of each other. Neither is there any precedent for Christianity ever contributing anything new to our knowledge base. There seems to be no justification for your assertion.MY ARGUMENT WILL BE PROVED TRUE WHEN SOON CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS LIKE ME WILL MOVE MAN FORWARD BY MAKING SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS.
Possibly because two thirds of the people on the planet have been distracted by religious beliefs and expect their imaginary gods to make these discoveries for them. If more people stopped praying to fantasy gods and started to solve their own problems by learning hard science then we could have far more breakthroughs. Let’s start with stem-cell research with no restrictions. If Christianity had not persecuted so many scientists in the past it seems likely that we would have landed on the moon centuries ago.Why are we still confined to this planet? Why hasn't there been a discovery of travelling at the speed of light ( probably because there could be something faster?), Why haven't we been able to make moon a second home planet? Why haven't we foune the cure for AIDS and CANCER?
It isn’t. Why hasn’t Christianity ever contributed to human knowledge?WHY IS SCIENCE COMING UP WITH DEAD-ENDS?
You’re probably sleep walking and dreaming but when you wake up a creator-less universe will still be waiting for you.WHAT IS GOING ON?
Given the endless spate of religious wars in the middle-east and the militant religious fundamentalists we see in the world then I’d say you again have your facts backwards. Our best hope will be to rid the world of religion, but religion is gradually declining as science reveals real knowledge about the universe, as has happened throughout history.If and only if we as humans turn back to The Creator, man are destined to create his own doom.
