Perhaps, these cartoons were a bit harsh, but a cartoon nonetheless. Moreover, taking this to the point of putting out a bounty, c'mon, over a cartoon?
That million can be put to work in so many other ways.
IF Muslims wish to establish the fact that their religion, as well as their...
Hey Onmybelief, I have great respect for AE, and do believe that he was a great mind for his century, however, I also think that he was a pompous a ss at the best of times....
comparing the universe (which he knew only soo little about) to that of human stupidity was a rather poor one...
Faint, Dove is not the first and will not be the last to offer their rendition of what or how a young girl/women should look like and dress. their view Im sure is based on a great deal of PR/polls which would advise them on the populations size and such
I really think it's not right or...
Great point, and very well said, I too, feel that science will play a bigger part in our beliefs and perhaps change many if not some of the concepts that religion has developed over the years... On the other had religion will never cease to exist, and the top ones will remain, due to its...
Yeah, Im sorry I do that sometimes when Im writing on forums or watching Popeye movies.
;)
I wish I could explain why would they believe in it at all...
yes, justice and love are worth focusing on and fighting for. ( HOPE I DIDN'T STUTTER)
Typical rhetoric? Well, by that assumption, soo many of the expressions about god that are stated can be labeled as a typical rhetoric to the qustions by atheists. and no, using that line did not mean you had a bad father. it was a tatic to to keep you obident. reguardless of what dr.vitz may...
Well, I believe, I must clarify my stance on the words I chose. For one, I apologize if my choice of words may seem inappropriate for labeling the scribes for other religions. however, they are not religions of other people, I have come from a family who lived/lives among two of the worlds...
I'm glad that you chose to respond to this, and yes some of what you said does make sense, however, there are events in our human history that no loving god/parent would absolutely allow at all costs... the holocaust for one;
But, I ask you;
-the voices in your head are yours.. not his...
LOL.. very well said, i too, sit in awe at how ridiculous thoughts like these, can keep humanity in such a tight grip... my faith YmirGF, lies in people, atheists as the world labels them, and, we have the enormous task to;
"free their minds!" Morpheus
:sarcastic...
I have to completely disagree with your statement. In no way can you equate jail to hell...
the differences (if hell existed) are far too dire then that of a jail... Heres why I assume this;
1.) jail is for life, hell, as many religions put it, is ETERNAL!!!
2.) hell is being...
no, it shouldnt matter, moreover, the more prevalent question would be;
what would knowing how god looked like tell us about him?
we are told by the Christian faith, that we were made in his likeness...
therefore there can be no debate... (speaking from a Christian point) about this...
I assume we are playing out a conversation that has been written/spoken/discussed a million times before... but Id like to point out that you yourself said there is none, natural things like the ones you described, can not in all honesty establish proof for god. And, the cute little pixies...
OK...., however, just another thought to ponder.... what if.. I say this sparingly, what if your programming was flawed... or that of mine... can your thoughts or emotions or beliefs actually materialize a supreme being into existence?
again, I plead not just with you, but the know religious...
I would kindly reply by asking the religious to provide one real speck of evidence, and I dont mean a book that was written by old fools 1343234 years ago, not a priest who claims to know god or the good book, not an emotion, not a prayer, something that is factual.... something that is not...
In Response to Bouncing Ball's question
- Religion, my friend, is a fiend, a distraction, and most importantly a lie. There is a great number reasons why I would never be able to consider myself a religious person (humor included).
1.) there is no real proof of there being a god...
Organized Religion, serves a major part in our misguided world, it stands as the voice of the bible/teachings of god. And, not only does it support it, it also tries to vindicate it, in all possible ways. However, whether or not they missed the point about god, is, IMO, a useless question. There...
