Apparently GOD was wrong..

    Quote from Section_Ei8ht

    the bible is my favorite work of fiction.

    I think Lord of the Rings was better, since Tolkien went for the trouble and actually invented a brand new world that has inspired thousands of other fictive worlds.

    Bible has pretty boring world, and the whole talking consciusness or "god" was done way better by worm in Irvine Welshe's Filth.

    I give props to the distribution system who, few books have whole countries aligned behind them to promote it. I'd like to meet that authors publicist, maybe he could cut a great deal for my coming book.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    90% of people are complete idiots and want to stick to whatever they initiially believed, against all rational argumenting. This also happens in science but luckily in science the idiots get filtered out. In religion they keep having a voice because rationality does not seem to very important at all.

    So the idiot scientists who believes in god just hasnt got filtered out yet?

    I'm proud that you dont look down upon a group just because they have a different view of things then you.

    Quote from TomWithTheWeather

    If somebody chooses to be relgious, they should at least be willing to challenge their own faith with questions and a certain degree of openmindedness.

    And if somebody chooses to be an atheist, they should at least be willing to challenge their own disbeliefs with questions and a certain degree of openmindedness.... yeah TomWithTheWeather, you are openminded right?

    I would certianly hope an atheist, or anyone with any belief for that matter, would be willing to excercise a certain amount of openmindedness. How ignorant does one have to be to want to shut out the world around him? To a religious person, I'm not saying "try something else for a while". I'm just saying, realize that a lot of other people believe as strongly as you do about their own differing beliefs. Who's right? Who's wrong? You'll never truely know until you die.

    I come to my current conclusions after years of questions and uncertainty and by all means I haven't answered them all yet. Growing up with a Christian mom and a Buddhist dad, and calling myself a Christian for the majority of my younger life gives me a little bit of "been there done that" experience that has helped me form my own opinions. And by all means, these opinions are certianly subject to change in the future.

    And I'm not atheist.

    And if most Atheists are right, not even then.

    And you don't see the contempt Kosmo and Pericolos0 shows someone of your faith?

    They are not just finding that any similarities between Religion and Science is preposterous, the way they write about it clearly shows how they look down upon those who have what they lack, faith.

    I have faith, faith that when I happen to be in car crash my seatbelt and airbag will save me, faith that if I ever get severely ill, the modern medicine will have a cure, faith that justice system is good enough to put away those religious yahoos that ruin the life of every fucking person in the whole globe.

    I have faith, what I lack, is blind faith.

    Quote from Kosmo

    I have faith...that if I ever get severely ill, the modern medicine will have a cure.....what I lack, is blind faith.

    Blind as a bat.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    Did I ever say I am an atheist?

    No, and your not saying your not one either, is that to be "honest about their religious views"?

    Quote from Pericolos0

    I do look down on people that ignore or avoid counterarguments just so they can keep believing what they want to believe

    Fair enough, but has anyone avoided or ignored counterarguments now?

    Quote from Pericolos0

    And this is something i yet need to encounter in modern science

    Most major scientific theories where subject to argumentation and jealous bickering before being generally accepted.

    Just because it's science doesn’t take away human traits from those practicing it.

    Quote from mawibse

    Oh man, I'm called blind by a guy who thinks the king of fairies will take him to heaven... Mom allways warned me of these days.

    Besides, I have faith in modern medicine and science, that doesn't mean that they cay cure everything, but you know what.. if they can't, your voodoo mumbo jumbo won't either

    I have yet to meet a guy who was actually cured by some sort of religion, and I see thousands of people every day that are alive because of modern medical science.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    Alright, I'll say I do not consider myself an atheïst. Doesn't mean i have "faith" though. You don't even know if tom has faith yet you say i show contemp for a person of his faith

    Just me being presumptuous, sorry about that.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    Completely true, but these theories do eventually get dismissed and die. While in mass religion it's apparently acceptable to still have ridiculous aged views.

    And when the do change people make posts about god being wrong.

    Quote from Pericolos0

    I have no idea where this discussion is going :derp:

    Well, you saing your not an Atheist I think I'm lost...

    Quote from Kosmo

    Oh man, I'm called blind by a guy who thinks the king of fairies will take him to heaven... Mom allways warned me of these days.

    Not just blind, blind as a bat.

    Your mom warns her offspring of blindness accusations from king of the fairies beleivers? Your such a lucky guy. :wink:

    Pure luck the human race lasted until we was saved by science ehy?

    And I don't really see the efficency of medical treatment as some proof of gods non existance.
