Well, judging from the religion being newer than other older religions, and considering that most stories in the bible are adaptations of other pagan stories rewritten to fit Yahweh, then this particular god may perhaps be either made up by someone who wanted to top the other pagan gods, or...
Its too easy to falsify pictures and videos, and it doesn't help for them to add up creepy music lol
But yeah its kinda sad humanity feels the need to find something out there that is superior than us, even aliens fill that role. We could possibly be the smartest species in this galaxy, and we...
Question: "Why is there something rather than nothing?"
Answer: "The universe is, what else could it be?"
What we call nothing is not understandable by our perspective, there is always something, even the void of space is space and time, so there is something, literally everywhere, and if...
-Simple things become more complex-
By this principal we live every single day, a baby is slowly growing inside a woman, and its at first microscopic 46 chromosomes put together all the way to a full grown developed baby with a central nervous system, blood, bones, a brain, etc.
These things...
Not everyone is born a skeptic, my mother has been shown lots of evidence and everything that is contradicting in her religion and shes always making excuses out of it, always putting god behind every gap.
This is why is very important for children to be raised openly of how everything works...
I would not consider myself to be fully anti theist cause in my opinion I really don't give a crap if a person believes in a mayonnaise god that lives in Jupiter.
But I have a problem when they mix faith and knowledge, and they come to schools to preach to the science teachers the words of the...
Yes, it all comes down to the roots of society, children, they are brought about to believe in religion, and when they grow up and face the world they find themselves feeling there is a war going on, and people are after their faith. Then they harden themselves and plug their ears to not listen...
Imagine if the world was filled with 5 year olds, and you were the only adult, how would you convince all those 5 year olds that Santa Clause doesn't exist?
Maybe some 5 year old's would believe you, but the majority would reject your claims even if you present to them logical arguments...
Its far too general but agnosticism is a logical position that I dare to say we all share, atheists and theists alike, so saying that generally an agnostic is dishonest is a false statement.
But as I mentioned, a friend of mine uses the term to even come as far as to say that one cannot choose...
I use both terms to counter the theists constantly debate of atheism being the knowledge that there are no gods.
Agnostic Atheist means both the knowledge that one does not know if there is such a thing as a god, and atheist is to not believe in those unproven claims of gods.
Its like fairies...
Religion touches all of the human defects and offers an invisible remedy to your problems, then the human brain that is capable of making fantasy into a reality plays a huge role on it. In time, when you actually stop believing, you find yourself in a big world filled with information that is...
Faith does not require evidence and cannot be questioned. Science is always improving theories, and nothing is 100% certain, things can change over time.
So when it comes to science one can say, I believe in the science method, but faith only applies to religion, or when for example you have a...
I have a friend that uses the word Agnostic as a superior position to any other, including belief and disbelief, which of course has nothing to do with knowledge.
I mentioned this on another thread so I'll copy and paste it here.
Belief and Knowledge
I do not "believe" in god/gods, but I do...
atheism should have nothing to do with anything else other than not believing in god, but in the end the majority of people in the world are into some sort of religion or spiritual belief, if one speaks of reason, people will immediately come to the conclusion that one is an atheist.
The only...
Hi, new in forum, and, I have to say, I've been learning about shock for a while and I have come to realize that this guy is a pure troll for atheists.
He will never give up and never fix his stupid question. No matter of what a good answer you give him he will always say you failed. No matter...
