Ok, Imagine this. There's god, right? Floating around on his little cloud. I believe god is TRYING to kill us. Well, not believe, more like, think what if. I mean, think of it. There are two teams, god and humans. God tries to kill us with uncontrolled events (Natural disasters, animals, etc.), and viruses/bacteria. While we try to find out about how we were in fact created, disprove god, and therefore take away his power, creating a utopia. although, the realization of this takes time, and money.

TL:DR Our existence is one giant Real Time strategy game.

I don't believe there is a god, I haven't seen proof of one. I belive in most science, and the theories that make sense. I have seen biological cells of many kinds with my own eyes. I've watched Alkali metals ignite upon contact with water, I have collected hydrogen in a tube by putting Magnesium in hydrochloric acid, and found out it's hydrogen by getting a small explosion when putting a flame near the tube.

What am I saying? Well I'm explaing why I belive the theories which 'make sense'. They make sense to me because I have seen demonstrations in science lessons and tried experiments out for myself, and a lot of what science talks about, I have seen with my own eyes.

God however, he, she, it whatever God is, I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes. The same goes for ghosts etc.

The big bang theory seems a little loose ended though, yeah it's more beliveable than someone saying "let there be light", but still how would the collision of two paralell universes suddenly fill this universe up with stuff?

All I can really say is that I am human, another animal, made of cells simmilar to ones I have seen. And I'm ok with knowing that I DON'T know how we got here.

Why are we even arguing? We atheists know were right, and those 'believers' are too ignorant to be convinced of anything that isn't written in their books.

Can't we all just get along? Atleast 'till religion has died out?

Do you believe in god? Why?

wanna hear something cool about the brain...

its a mass of tissues that runs on electrical pulses...
everything you do... everything you think
everything your precieve...
is electrical signals

your brain is not a radio antenna....
its not a shell for your soul...
it doesnt reliese anything when you die...
the electrical signals just stop

there is nothing anyone can be completely sure of...
except the facts!!!

and i know Mr. Factsareopinions will rear his ugly face in
and facts are proven!!!

not necisarily

maybe you spend your whole life wondering
only to die...
and there to be blackness... sure if you die and there is a heaven... then its proven...
but if you die and theres nothing... then nothing is proven...
you have no concious thought to precieve results as proven corect... there for
LIFE WASTED!!!

lets all stop wondering whats going to happen after death and worry about things that actually matter... happiness!!!!
Death will happen... but if you obsess your entire life in death... then you missed out on living...

I used to be atheist, but right now I'm agnostic. I can't completely ignore the flaws in both scientific and religious views. The truth is most likely a mix, but I don't know so who am I to say whats true?

I'm a Christian. But, being here, you may think I am a hypocrite. I'm not. God doesn't EXPECT you to follow the 10 commandments. He wants you to try. And I do. The important thing is that I accepted Jesus. And why? Fuck- everyone needs some guidelines or authority. I guess out of desperation. But the big bang is bull shit in my eyes. And God may be fake in yours. But I believe. And I don't really care if you do. :p

Also, cock joke.

Yes. But where do your thoughts come from, a lot of them. They are external are they not? Is your brain not receiving information? I suppose, it would be more accurate to call the senses the antennae.


but i knew as soon as i posted that some one would post something like that!

Of course.

I used to. When I stopped believing, it seems like everything started to go right for me. I got a good job and a great girlfriend. Just last week, I found a wad of money equaling about $450 at the local mall. Since no one claimed it, it was mine.

There is no such thing as someone who doesn't like the PS3, there is only poor people who can't afford one. PS3 owners pity you and hope you can one day get out of poverty.

Well we are heading there but I don't think it would be possible to create a man-made universe.

At least not for some billions of years.

That could happen, but that would have to be evolutionarily met, not technologically achieved.

Yeah, but they are mostly idiots. Think about this one for a second. There was a preacher that I saw one day. He was saying that if evolution was true than God didn't exist. By saying that he was saying that he could determine the circumstances for the existence of God. He was blaspheming by his own beliefs. This does not mean that they are all stupid, but I have only met two that were capable of understanding that evolution did not rule out God.
