I might believe it, what way is that? We both are carbon based lifeforms that have the number of the beast, Carbon - 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons, 666! lol just thought I'd throw that in there. We both have the ability to succeed where ever we want to succeed. Is that what you mean?

I think we're equal in that we aren't products of a higher being.. We don't have a "greater meaning". We are just animals that continue the circle of life. And I'm damn proud of that. My death will lead to another persons life and so will yours. Your knowledge will live on to another human and so will mine. There is no good or any evil.. We create whatever we want and we name it good and evil but WE do that not any other being. In the sense that me AND you create our reality, I believe we are equals.

Two balls, two nipples, two eyes, I think your on to something man! =p

This dude cheif, is a follower of the new age religion of "indigo children" that originated somewhere between 1960's and late 1970's, and just recently since the 2012 mayan prophecy has increased in popularity.

Just google "indigo children" for more information on the beliefs these wacko's hold onto.

Light beings? Really? Comon.... we are animals, no more special than the smallest biological organism, no more special than the smallest atom.

Cheif you are not special... but there (hopefully) will always be people in your life that gives you a sense of being special, but you arent lol, and neither are we.

...the volleys can't be flying for the sheer 'joy' of it What are you going to take away from these discussions?

(I haven't mentioned the agnostics, if you were to ask me why I'd have to say that "I just don't know" )

Me? I've learned to structure my thinking in a way that I didn't know about before. It's pretty cool.

You?

Good thread eye,I definetly have learned alot from everyone on RIU.I have learned alot more from the atheists/nihilists point of view than the theists,I also learned to diffuse my own fears about what I use to think was real,realizing all things thought of are in the mind first and foremost...something that simple eluded me until i started reading more posts and talking to more people on RIU,thats the truth of it.Then about the overall rationalizing mind of the human being more than anything,what you think,what you believe,and why or even how you could believe.Who ever said you couldnt learn something truely valueble on a stoner website right?

I'm for the sheer joy.

Hey man.Nice idea for a thread.
My 1st post...yeeha!

From reading post after post on this subject,what I've learned is:

1.An atheist logic is as strong as a theist belief.Yin Yang
2.Each side has subjective experiences which strengthen their claims.Moments of doubt or divinity.
3.Neither side relinquishes.
4.Both sides have become paramount advocates of ad-hom attacks and logical fallacies.lol
5.Never toke the haze when trying to reply to these threads.lol
