    Virginia Tech school shooting

    It's not that no one cares. It's just all relative. 200 people killed is probably a quiet day in Iraq so it's not news. If you had mass shootings in the US everyday after a while they would only be in the news for 5 mins too.

    Virginia Tech school shooting

    If you don't start pointing fingers to find the source of a problem then you won't find how to fix the problem.

    Virginia Tech school shooting

    See. Until people come to the point where they don't connect removing their guns with removing their testicles nothing is gonna change. Although having said that, I may be moving to the US next year for work and my list of priorities will be this. 1 - Rent apartment. 2 - Buy gun.

    Virginia Tech school shooting

    Sorry are you saying a guy walking into a school with a bomb jacket will stand out more than a guy walking into a school with an AK? As for a suicide killer escaping to do it again. Kind of defeats the purpose. The point is they want to die. Not make a career out of mass killing. First of all...

    Virginia Tech school shooting

    I'm pretty sure terrorists were well aware of the power of automatic weapons before this. They've used them in many countries before now. I'm also pretty sure that the American authorities are well aware that the terrorists are well aware. So I don't foresee any change in the near future...

    Virginia Tech school shooting

    You can't stop this sort of thing from happening because there's two parts to the problem. 1. Crazy people. 2. Guns. Sooner or later crazy people + guns = mass killing. We could try and remove crazy people from the equation but apart from locking up anyone caught wearing a trench coat or...

    Virginia Tech school shooting

    Having armed students may have resulted in less deaths. Thats one outcome. Another one is this. Once people heard the first gun shots 100 armed students in the immediate vicinity pull out their weapons. Whats gonna happen next? How are they all gonna know who the original shooter is? It's not...

    "God" = Alien

    I'm saying that the following ideas are another way of describing the events in the bible. Aliens either create or use an already existing planet and call it Earth. They then prepare the planet for life. Grow vegetation blah blah blah. Then they "create" the subjects, maybe by planting the...

    "God" = Alien

    GERONIMO!!! :thud: I'm not saying I agree with the original poster of these ideas but here's an alternate way of explaining them from a "God is really an alien/aliens posing as an all powerful being" point of view. God has a physical form - GOD IS A SPIRIT, HE DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL FORM -...

    "God" = Alien

    Definitely not offended. Like I said I enjoy hearing other peoples ideas. :)

    "God" = Alien

    As far as amusing myself goes, I do enjoy discussing these things because I have an open mind, however I'm not poking fun at the believers. We are all believers in something and I'm definitely not saying I'm right and everyone else is wrong. I am willing to admit that I don't know for certain...

    A question for fans of the god myth.

    Not really. If you wanted to throw science in there instead of religion then it would read. "How do you feel your life on earth has been made more complete through your scientific beliefs?" And I'd have to answer - because it gives me a way to understand/ control/cope with reality. Which are...

    A question for fans of the god myth.

    But your understanding of a phenomenon has total bearing on what you believe the truth of that phenomenon to be. And no I dont completely trust my physical sight. Have you never thought you saw one thing but on closer inspection it turned out to be something else?

    A question for fans of the god myth.

    I'm asking what makes you believe that your understanding of it is the correct one over someone else's understanding of it.

    A question for fans of the god myth.

    I think (just my opinion of course) you believe because you choose to believe it's true not because it is true. (And im not saying it isnt true either, just questioning your certainty ). Not being able to perceive a sun rise does not mean it's not there - true. BUT how do you know your...

    A question for fans of the god myth.

    Basically what I'm hearing from the Believers is that they believe in God because it makes them feel better than if they didn't believe. It gives them feelings of hope, direction, security etc. Which no one else should have a problem with because it's a personal thing between them and God...

    From Websters Online Dictionary. Extraterrestrial, as an adjective, refers to something that originates, occurs, or is located outside Earth or its atmosphere. As a noun, the term is used to refer to any life form which comes from outside Earth and its atmosphere. According to Christians God...

    What does an honest Atheist do in court ?

    Same for Aussie and NZ as well.

    "God" = Alien

    Couldn't they both be the same thing? ie - god is a superintelligent alien?
