Atheism

[growwwww]

To be honest, when ever religious people give me shit about being an athiest...I say hey, im not here to give you shit...But one thing, if this god does exist and at the end of my life im sat down infront of him and we go through the good shit and the bad shit, whos to say my good shit isint as good as your good shit? Same with the bad...And if he asks me why i didint believe in him, simple. Not enough evidence, somehow i think if god is who they all say he is...He would admite, respect and understand the fact that athiest dont believe in him.

Peace

What say you now about the dating methods Fish, Shroomer, Babs, Maui?

I don't think they'd have anything useful to say. Science is just a big conspiracy against "god", and dating methods are made up, and burning bushes are excellent thought transmission devices

There will be no response folks.

The white flag has been raised.

Often the truth is more complex and interesting.

I believe Atheism is not about being right or wrong, or the color of flags, or creationism or evolution, or the validity of religion.

I believe Atheism is about not believing in Deities.

I ≠ Me

I = YOU

The umbrella of religion offers safe cover for tons of nutcakes. That alone would make it worth it to take away the tax exemptions.

Don't forget the taliban and other insurgents that we can't kill because they're hiding in a mosque.

 

[CrackerJax]

If I could get tax money out of the taliban ... I would.

Start a new thread and you may see them return, they have probably unsubscribed from this thread by now. Whats the point in fighting the losing battle so to say.

 

[CrackerJax]

I feel no need to start a thread to attract them.

Part of me hopes they pull out of the mythput their true thinking caps on.

 

[krustofskie]

From your experience from dealing with the likes of GreenCross do you think it ever possible to get them to change their way of thinking, if you do your in line for a nobel prize.

 

[CrackerJax]

No....

I think pulling out of the myth is very hard to do when ur older. As death nears and takes loved ones, the myth, if already instilled, goes from crutch to full life support.

 

[krustofskie]

So much for getting wiser with age then.

 

[CrackerJax]

Fear is a powerful motivator. Years of indoctrination takes its toll.

After decades of religion, ppl become akin to Patty Hearst.

 

[Woodstock.Hippie]

Who gave anyone the right to make anyone else change their thinking?

It is not about being dumb or smart.

It is a about perception.

My reality is much different than yours.

Some humans understand only squares, not circles.

Being bright humans that enjoy squares, they understand squares more than most, and much more than I.

 

[CrackerJax]

Man is his own worst enemy. Everyone else's worst enemy too. Ironic huh?

 

[PadawanBater]

Hippie, that's the exact reason we came up with the scientific method. I really can't stress enough how important it is. When we establish things based on the scientific method, those things established become true. True to me, true to you, whatever you perception of those facts may be, it does not change what they actually are.

Reality is reality whether you believe it or not. You gotta get past the idea that it's ok to have your own pesonal perception of what you think reality actually is. That's one of the main problems believers present. They think they're right, and not even the facts can change their mind. Litterally nothing will. So what's the point? If someone can't determine the difference between what is real and what isn't then they should not be commenting on aspects of reality, regarding established facts, as we've defined them.

Yes the Earth used to be flat... yes facts change, progress and evolve... but that doesn't mean the truth we've all, collectively, established to be true, isn't.

I just saw a guy on shroomtalk claim that there are 3000 scientific proofs against evolution.
Can't wait to see some of his samples.

He will probably post some of his shroom visuals as 'proof'

 

[Johnnyorganic]

It's funny because what believers call god, I call nature.

They rely the theology to understand god.

I rely on science to understand nature.

It seems like a no-brainer to me. But hey! To each his own, right?

 

[CrackerJax]

Yes JO, I'm in the same arena of thought.

It is so easy to bring evolution into the religious doctrine. G*D invented a self running program ... nature.

It's amazing to me that the zealots cannot see the simplistic beauty of that logic.

Ooops, there I go again, using dirty words like "logic".
