Religion

[PT Stewie]

The current direction of this thread reminds me of the atheist's funeral . As he was laid out in his coffin in his finest suit dress shirt and tie, it was said that he was all dressed up and nowhere to go !

Atheists are worse than fundamentalist because they won't even acknowledge their faith. All you've done is prove my point by posting quotes from people who have abandoned the stupid atheist belief system.

you’re so silly, carry on friend.

Atheism is not a religion, it is religious thought though.
Atheist who propose atheist churches are stupid.

You can’t prove intelligent design anymore than I can prove it’s not intelligent design.

When you have numerous systems working in concert with each other in the body, with specific hormones, cells, etc having specific duties, it's highly unlikely that just happened by happenstance. No one here knows exactly who or what God is other than he's a superior being with superior intellect and power. It could well be that a superior civilization visited Earth eons ago and set things in motion. And they were Godlike to primitive man. There are so many things that have come to light in the last hundred years or so to make one wonder. To me the argument that things just developed in nature randomly is not much different than when people argued that Earth was the center of the universe and everything rotated around it. In other words man is all important and there's nothing else out there.

I have one on my route. They’re curious but for sure. They get COD packages all the time and never have the money I guess the parishioners don’t tithe very well LOL. I guess it’s OK since they’re not going to hell if they don’t

Since I was 10 and Santa did not bring me the hot wheels track, and stretch Armstrong I wanted so badly I stop believing in Santa. It never occurred to me to create a name for it because I wasn’t worried about what other people thought about me not believing about Santa. Seems like if I don’t believe in something I just won’t pay attention to it. Not really gonna spend my time writing books and having long discussions.

atheism, in general, the critique and denial of metaphysical beliefs in God or spiritual beings. As such, it is usually distinguished from theism, which affirms the reality of the divine and often seeks to demonstrate its existence. Atheism is also distinguished from agnosticism, which leaves open the question whether there is a god or not, professing to find the questions unanswered or unanswerable.

I can't. It's called faith. Can you? No, you have faith that that's what happened. At the end of the day though you're pushing a world where might makes right and one can indulge in sensual pleasure anyway he pleases. I can see why you hate Christianity.

You keep saying prove it, when you know that’s not possible. Prove being gay, transgender, lesbian. whatever is something you’re born with and not an occurrence of things that happened to you. you can’t either and, here I am not stepping all over what you believe, or others believe. Who’s more tolerant here? It’s a two-way street.

[vantexan]

That doesn't prove anything. There's a reason they're called theories. And you take it on faith that's how it happened.

 

[El Correcto]

It’s not so much that I have “faith”. Scientist have a collection of observations that hey one day could be proved wrong, but that is what the observations and evidence they collected has show.
This isn’t a “faith” it is the best theory regarding actual evidence and in some cases like evolution straight up proof through many different fields of science.

Yes there is a reason they are called theory, go learn what a theory is.

 

[El Correcto]

These things are not accepted on faith but observation through the scientific method.. Don’t know why this is so complex for the faithful to understand.

@floridays @BrownFlush @Fred's Myth
These are the fundamentalists here,
My grandfather was also one of these types.
There are other Christians who do not seek to love gays or treat them as equals though and a lot of agnostics will go along for the ride.

They don’t call for the execution of gays but view their Old Testament as context for Christianity and add it to the teachings of Christ to justify their hatred and convolute messages of love and acceptance of others. I’ve heard them say it even if they won’t admit to it when called out. They view all gays as mentally ill and not natural.

They are the worse of the worse when it comes to Christian thought.

Neighbor, you spew more hatred on here in one thread than I have since I joined BC.

My attempt at explaining the perspective of your 'detractors' is most often not my personal stance. Your response is always malicious, never thoughtful, and vitriolic.

Love thy neighbor.

The scientific method is the process of objectively establishing facts through testing and experimentation. The basic process involves making an observation, forming a hypothesis, making a prediction, conducting an experiment and finally analyzing the results.

Short version: It's a best guess/test/try again until it makes sense. And more likely than not, there are exceptions to every fact.

Nope you just added your own ignorance to it.
Just like you tried to do to the laws of thermodynamics, loool.
