I didn't say anything about morals. I just cannot fathom that we are here for no reason, that all this is just a chance happening. I've said this before- The Earth could not possibly be a better distance from the sun, we have our seasons, our moon, and us as the only intelligent life form on this blue planet. I don't believe we just exist just to live then die. That is what I meant from "my life has no meaning". This is a stage, gentlemen. A test if you will to see how you lived your life given what you were given. You must think out of the box, don't be so wrapped up in your sociological way of life. there is a bigger picture.

Statistically, more people have died in the name of God than anything else. The only problem with this is that people use the name of God so that it fits their agenda. All the Crusades were ultimately just wars to gain more land and fortune. The Holy Roman Empire used the name of God to intimidate and gain riches from the masses. Its man that is corruptible, not God. The Bible doesn't say go out and kill everyone who is not like you.

You can word it how you like but it comes down to - you can't believe this is all there is - so no evidence could convince you otherwise. It is not sociological view of life i am wrapped up in - it is a scientifically skeptical view of EVERYTHING i am wrapped up in.
I added morals because that is the more common version of your argument. |

Sorry but i have another question... does the bible explain what christianity is or is the bible completely worthless?
I would also mention that not every bible is the "King James edition". I mean there are plenty of re-translated versions available. I would think you'd take more issue with the council of trent if you are concerned with accuracy. Is that what you're saying - the version of the bible is inaccurate?

I said nothing of morals and it has absolutely nothing to do with my argument or what I even said, you linked it because you feel like you have a counter argument already prepared.
Also, there is no "evidence" to concede that we are solely dust in the wind. You turn to science when in question however ironically science is merely a feeble desperation attempt on understanding the phenomena that is our existence. You put your "faith" behind mankind, which has proven countless times that man nor science holds any answers.

Why do you think its the evil white man that were the only slave owners. Every single race on this planet has been a slave, and has owned a slave.
