Re: Britain a 'selfish and hedonistic wasteland' says Archbi
I think my real problem with catholicism lies mostly in the majority of their context, not all the people. I dislike the hateful demeanor, like their portrayal of homosexuality. It's been around for a long time and it's not...
yes but thats what it all comes down to. sure you can take the road of a romantic and start getting lenient with meaning. but the conflict arises between scientific truth and fact, and reading comprehension. the difference between real and unreal. fact and fiction. You can tell me the apple is...
Yes but trying to fit things into ways that you will believe them even if they are not meant that way, don't you think thats being dishonest? Trying to separate truth from belief. I can read any novel and derive a meaning from them that suits my attitude, but the author might not have ever meant...
You can change simple views all you want but as stated, by someone else, earlier, it all comes down to cherrypicking what you want to believe in. Which is just insensible.
I've already given one. the idea that Jesus is the one and only answer, and that all others are completely wrong and will go to hell unless converted, that homosexuals are morally corrupt is another. That no matter what, even tho i live my life to be as good a person i can be, because im...
Oh i never said that. do not misunderstand me. It's not the theism part that I have a problem with. I have many theistic- non religious friends. But it's his ...rule that certain things are to be ignored by christianity. That condemning others to hell through their beliefs is okay, as in jesus...
you are probably correct. I most likely will just avoid the question. Tho it's a pity. I imagine he would be able to do great things with a mind like his if it was relinquished of his homegrown bias.
true true. as i said on chat earlier when discussing this, i believe he is an atheist waiting to happen. He's way too smart for simple boundaries of religion that bind him to certain ideas. I think it's a mixture of his upbringing and fear/ desire for an afterworld/ punishment, that keeps him...
Lol nice response. but these are all obvious or out of date answers that just won't cut it. I'm talkin about a guy who tries to use science and logic to prove god exist, he's already stated he doesn't believe the earth is 6000 years old. I need something a bit edgier and more hard cut. Thanks...
on a side note is it my personal opinion that we'd be better off without all religions.....but then again...where would i find my entertainment in watching people debunk creationists...
I agree. I haven't exactly been a big observer of TF's videos, I usually watching thing that you, andromedaswake, post (because I myself love astronomy) or Aronra, and SR. but people have been talking about this quite a bit and i decided to look into it. And like everyone I didn't really get the...
I'm not really sure how this pans out but a buddy of mine posted something on Facebook asking people whether or not they believe in god/s ( because he's doing a term paper on religion). He himself is an atheist, and many people replied with the i do or i don't response. I went a bit further and...
Re: 451°C
I've already read a good deal of the Koran, ( i wanted to understand my Muslim friend) so I probably won't read it. But I live in Georgia, so I'm really close to Florida. and if I happen to see anyone attempt a book burning I will do my best to sabotage it. You have my word.
I used to say I was agnostic out of indifference. I didn't know anything, and I didn't care. I just knew religion was crap. But the whole idea of a god/s was beyond my level of concern. I now know quite a bit more than I used to and will of course tell you I'm an atheist, but i never claimed...
I play guitar. Just electric guitar. I have been known to pick up an acoustic on occasion, and can of course double as a bassist if someone needs me too. But my focus is guitar, even if at the current moment I am the vocalist of a band who keeps losing drummers. I pretty much love playing any...
