Christians create the annoying atheists that they hate so much.

Why do you believe anything, breh?

Or should I say how? Are we typing in English right now? Hmmm, the Spanish call it Inglés.

Well, I believe a unicorn comes in my room every night and shyts confetti for my sins. You can't see him, but trust me. He wants me to spread the good news.

Not specifically hell it's just them saying you deserve to suffer for not having absurd beliefs.

i agree... And i believe that most people are of a certain faith because they grew up that way. All these die hard christians would be muslims if they grew up in that type of household or region where it is predominate. Or praying to zeus and nem if they grew up back then

Says god can not be understood or classified but you've already determined that it's male. With that pseduo intellectual bullshyt

to reply to your earlier comment, even if the Jesuit Priest (who also was a PhD in astrophysics which definitely helps) came up with the big bang theory, what does that have to do with his theism?

Thats like saying everything Einstein said was right.

No.

What someone asserts is independently assessed from the person who asserts it.

Yes, it is. It is only ludicrous because you insist on defining god within some narrow scope I have difficulty understanding. As the ancient buddhist saying goes, "god is a shyt stick". If you can't understand, you can't understand. Your inflexible conception of god is exactly what I meant by "religion is not to be taken literally". Don't try to define god, which you inherently cannot understand. Just let him BE.

If this is too much to wrap your head around, I recommend you read "hero of a thousand faces", "straw dogs", and dig deep into eastern texts; read zen stories, "bhagavad gita", and most importantly - jed mckenna's "spiritual enlightenment: the damndest thing". Your mind should clear up a little.

I don't think you understand that book or Campbell, if you read enough Campbell he explicitly sees all these deities as machinations of man and nothing more than a mirror into man.

Oh....and i'm not unemployed. I've got a masters and WORKING on a professional degreee (i'm at work right now actually)

Keep playing with your intellectual superiors though. I implore you to continue and temp the hand of your rhetorical god (Me.).

Well he is right about ultimate Truths (uppercase T) though

I agree a lot of atheists are confused hypocrites. I get where OP is coming from though because there are also a lot of ignorant religious folk who follow blindly and then push their beliefs on others. So maybe that's why there's so many obnoxious atheists.

But at least the religious person stands for something where as the atheist literally stands for nothing.

Who said I stand for nothing?

Being an atheist doesn't make you a socialist or an athlete.

It literally means I don't believe in any deities...are you going to infer what type of toothbrush I use too???

They'll tell you that you're wrong but won't provide an "alternative right.

There is nothing in science that can disprove God seeing as how God authored every scientific law, discovered or not, so I never understand why they offer that as an "argument"

.

Plus that's all based off their own faith or belief in whoever they got their "facts" from. "Facts" that still don't disprove God anyway. So if someone chooses not to believe they should probably just leave it at that and KIM.

The things attributed to "god" in the past have all be proven to be wrong.

Does that mean god doesn't exist?

No

Is there any evidence he does?

No.

If you want us to believe you, you have to make that case. Making appeals to what we don't know or understand doesn't change anything.

 

[Thsnnor]

Whats there to give an answer to?

There are entire people who have even heard of your deity, yet you claim dominion over them.

If that isn't the height of intellectual inconsistency, if not arrogance, then I don't know what is.

You do know Inuit and others have had a belief in God right? They have believed in "my" deity. Any other false information you want to share? Native American history in college and did very well in it.

Now what evidence do you have for the inuit in your pic?

Speak english.

Empiricism proves things as far as it asserts and no further.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I didn't say I believe them. I mean someone implying you should suffer is generally frowned upon, beliefs aside.

Meh, I think you're being sensitive about it. I doubt it's that they want you to suffer but maybe a warning type thing. Like put that blunt out, the cops are coming. But I can't speak for people I don't even know.

If kept to yourself?

Nothing.

buuuuuuuuuuut, since thats not the case, then we have a problem.

The irony of this post.

Being an atheist is a belief. Philosophy 101.

There are atheistic inuits. Whats your point?

They have believed in "my" deity. Any other false information you want to share? Native American history in college and did very well in it.

So Jesus is the sun god now?

Now what evidence do you have for the inuit in your pic?

What religion the people before christianity hit the scene?

 

[tmonster]

Because that's just what he is.

circular reasoning... a rather succinct form though

Do not ask me to try and put in words what can not be put in words. You either understand or you don't, it's like being pregnant, you is or you ain't.

da hell you doing outcheh though?

Look deep inside yourself, seek knowledge and truth and you will find Him, because he is ultimately undeniable.

Clearly, speaking about it and explaining it doesn't work, just look at all the "christians" and other "believers" who leave godless lives... They yap and they yap and they yap and yet they do not grasp the BASIC TENETS of every religion, like "do not judge".... Just look at posters like @Marvel who claim to be godly and yet go against EVERYTHING that He stands for... YOU CANNOT GRASP OR PROCESS GOD WITH YOUR LOGICAL MIND, ONLY ON A DEEPER LEVEL.

God is within you and within me, and that is where you will find understanding. You can not try to learn him by thinking or speaking or taking things literally. He just IS, and when you finally understand that - and most people only do very late in their lives - you will know.

circular reasoning marinated in a true scottsman fallacy... well disguised though

which still doesn't justify any religions claims you've made.

I can accept that
I am not afraid of that
lets talk about belief
what is your definition of belief?

agreed, You made it seem like science was spewing out ultimate Truths though. I felt that needed to be challenged.
