1]Sure, lets go with that.
2]If you say so.
3]Doesn't this conclusion contradict your previous statements?
4]The purpose was to argue and convey my point. How does a god effect the arguments and points that are traded between us on the internet?
5]You don't need to "live again" for all eternity in an afterlife to be proud of your accomplishments. So you can't be proud before you die? You can't be proud at your deathbed? You can remember all the good things you have done and be proud?

God/Religion/Belief systems: They either give life meaning or don't. If they don't give life meaning then what is their primary purpose?


As if religion and contradictory statements aren't reasonable enough. I don't contradict you; you contradict yourself. I simply point them (the contradictions) out.

why bother lol just stop now

Prove ghost don't exist? As the person that believes in their existence it is your job to prove you're right.

Wow mods should've closed this thread the minute they saw it, it always the same if this isn't closed it will extend more and more.



Anyways, I don't belive in god, bye

hmm. Read my previous posts please before you say something even more lame

--edit-- removed

Nope its not contradicting anything. I was using "God" as an example i should of just said afterlife. Those "ghost" you see on TV are faked, therefore, i cant prove that one exists. However, i did see a ghost, and its not arguable because its my word against yours. You don't always die peacefully, so how can you "think" of your accomplishments in your deathbed. What if get shot? What if you have a heart attack and die right there on spot?

If I live a good life then it won't matter how, when, or why I die. If I live morally and accomplish w/e I need to accomplish then death won't matter. Death doesn't matter. Because I don't believe in an afterlife all that matters is the here and now. Life is not about having a non-stop party. Life is difficult, it involves self-reliance, responsibility, and trust. Life means working hard, enjoying the fruits of your labor, and dieing. If life never ended then there is no incentive to accomplish great things. If my death is early, painful, and abrupt I won't fear because I have lived a good and moral life. I know that my actions and words had an effect on those around me. Our actions, our words, and our thoughts all have an effect on those around us. So if you know you did something worthwhile, afterlife or no afterlife, death (painful or peaceful, early or late, slow or quick) should hold no surprises.



Interesting. Normally people ask me if I lack respect for god(s). It makes the answer easy and obvious; I can't respect what I don't believe in, but to respect a manipulative and coercive concept like religion is something I could never bring myself to do. I can sit in awe of the great and terrible things religious men have done; however, I can't respect the concept of controlling another man's life. So the idea of religion? Do I respect it? No. Do I see it as an unnecessary evil? Yes.

Good answer. I can give you this one.

and this is why i can call you an idiot
just because you dont believe it doesnt mean you can disrespect it

edit : assuming bad

Wait, wait, wait; I don't think you understood my post.

Not having respect for something doesn't mean being disrespectful. I simply cannot respect an idea that is used to control the lives of other men. The idea of religion, like government, is something that I won't respect. It doesn't mean I'll post raptor jesus picture, zombie jesus picture, pictures of buddha chocking on pork, a picture of muhammed, a graph that deems religious people stupid. No you misunderstand. I simply don't care for the idea of controlling another man's life and bending him to my will. Does it mean I will point out the flaws? Yes, it does. Respecting or not respecting religion should not effect my ability to criticize it.

Also, "I can't respect what I don't believe in" (in relation to god(s), sir that quotes and argues out of context)

Means; I can't respect something that doesn't exist. How can I respect something that isn't real? (I know, it's real for you.)

That's like saying: I respect that actor; therefore, I can't criticize his performance in movies.
Now let's change actor with idea and change the second sentence:
I respect that idea; therefore, I can't point out it's flaws and criticize it.

Or.
I respect the idea of a big bang; therefore, I can't criticize it and provide a better explanation with supporting evidence.

Respecting or not respecting something should not effect my ability to argue for or against it.

and now i understand where you are coming from baro. and yes, i was understanding it as disrespect . Also, I do agree with you now, ofc pointing out the flaws is fine, but we all believe w.e we want to right?
Regardless it was indeed a nice little discussion =]

thank you very much for clearing this up 2 bad it had to wait that many pages

That's why it's called believing. >_>

Just got off from class. That's a lot of shit to read.

hai guys, i dun wanna blow up on some of u, so i'll just chill here

love and let live amirite?

Just when you thought things were settling down. -.-"

Once I'm REALLY REALLY bored I might read through all those 23 pages...

i dont believe in god im more of a buddhist still i believe in evolution and science just that im not a super religious person

Yes! I do believe in myself.

I hate when people post a stupid picture, as they sit there hoping someone will quote them with a "lol" or "lmao" >.>

Same -_-

i believe in god.. once some guy in my town was born and he rember his last life 100% true story..

To win all conversations in this topic, God is fake, We are a species same as the rest, just more mental abilities, but simple as this, all religions are made from the fear of the death, have u noticed nearly every religion has an "after life" that goes on forever, its just we are afraid of the fact that when we die it'll be like be4 we were born it seems nothing existed just u were there, we gained imagination through evolution and instinct forever, and when imagination and instinct (fear of death) collide, you get a god and afterlife, and religion helped people understand everything around them, god is fake, simple as that

Dude...dang....*decides to walk away from this one*

To win all conversations in this topic, Evolution is fake, We are the same species as the rest, just more mental abilities, but simple as this, all origin of life theories are made from the fear of god, have you noticed nearly every theory has "no beginning", its just we are afraid of the fact when we die it'll be like before, we know we came from god, but some seem to think nothing existed and we were just there, we gained imgagination through gods creation and instinct forever, and when imagination and instinct (fear of god) collide, you get evolution and big bang, and evolution helped people understand everything around them, evolution is fake, simple as that.

u r so incorrect, I admit i dont understand how the universe began, but im not gonna make up some god or many gods because i can't understand it. I admit most unverisal things are uknown to man but this knowledge may be known as our brains can compute real-life situations with comprehesion and such, which allows us to able to comprehend a infinite amount of info, anything in this universe can be comprehended because we are part of it, and you cand understand it and thats why people say ( i cant understand god cuz hes not part of this universe) but if you're not part of any universe, ours or another, you cant exist, even "ektoplasm" needs some form of a universe, just depends on it's composed of, but god(s) dont exist, all imagination. and to continue the topic on the fear of gods, we "fear" god(s) because if don't do as they wish we'll wont be in a afterlife or hell, which leads back to the fear of death, i still win, next contendor plz

right now as we speak, it our humanic instincts to communicate with each other for these reasons
food,reproduction,entertainment,to cure curiosity and to hunt and possibly more, and curiosity is a form of "chance" which is a "instinct" to be able to find food, find a mate, or find something of need to survive, curiosity is nothing from a god or anything, Once my mental abilities grew to adult levels i was able to make out the god(s) does not exist, its the same as learing santa claus isnt real (sry for u claus believers)

So your going to listen to some made up theory of evolution instead?....yah that makes sense

So your going to listen to some made up bible of drunk men instead?....yah that makes sense

edit ... also men who had the fear of death

drunk men?
