You are hilarious. You have "my" sense of humour and that's awesome.Or Famine...Just saying.
Oh man Nosferatu! My dad and I used to watch all manner of cheesy horror flicks growing up. Still my favourite genre.Where did all the nasty vampires go anyways?
I've always gotten along better with Satanists than Christians...I live in San Francisco the former home of the Church of Satan.
And this dude was 1 of my best friends.
Yet I have a Phd in Theology go figure...Cheers!

Are you reading the thread? I've never expressed any bother at the beliefs of others. People are entitled to believe whatever they want to. But it appears that a whole bunch of people are in fact bothered by my atheism. To the point of calling me the most nasty and vicious names they can come up with.
Hmmmm sounds more like insecurity in your own beliefs....that be a personal issue.

Better? While I know that poverty doesn't prove god(s) don't exist, It does throw a monkey wrench in the cogs that a "loving and benevolent father-like creator" exists.
If there is a god(s) they are most certainly NOT benevolent.

Ok.
Please note. PCR wanted to debate how atheism is unscientific.
Perhaps he didn't want to discuss atheism with any actual atheists?
And you do realize that atheist don't believe in god, so that's going to be a point in the discussion?
Was it supposed to be just a discussion/debate amongst yourselves what atheist think/don't think, and that science somehow proves atheist don't know it, but they really believe in god(s) too?
I am not trying to convince anyone to 'join me'.
I'm not in a club.
You're right, this isn't a debate.
So is that all you're going to contribute?
When people I don't know ask me if I've found god my usual response is (I didn't know he was lost)Me, I have a great faith with the Good Lord......
I will leave it at that.
Never been a Bible Thumper and Never will be one.l
Those folks scare me to death!
Please choose a flavor and walk into the Sunset.
Without pissing folks off by trying to force your religion onto them!
Still trying to keep those damn Jehovah's Witnesses off of my lawn...............
Yep, I found God, Keep off of my PROPERTY!
The only thing about it I know is my wife's name is Gaelic.but since I don't know anything about gaelic
I know a much easier path to Satan.How about masturbation is a direct path to satan?
I reject the "benevolent god/deity/creator" ideal on one basis: free will. Free will gives us all the choice to pursue our lives as we see fit. To accept or deny the existence of such a deity. To make the choices that will either improve or degrade the condition of our fellow man and woman.While I know that poverty doesn't prove god(s) don't exist, It does throw a monkey wrench in the cogs that a "loving and benevolent father-like creator" exists.
If there is a god(s) they are most certainly NOT benevolent.
While in one sense I agree with this, the counter is that if someone feels they all have to offer is prayer, does rejecting or belittling it serve any purpose - other than to possibly insult them?Which is why it irks me when a person says "I'll pray for you". Rather than offering any tangible help, they offer a platitude which amounts to nothing.
After the terrorist attack in Paris, I was rather vocal about it. Don't "pray" for Paris, religion is what caused the tragedy, send money or donate blood; you know, ACTUALLY do something to help. View attachment 49199
I would love to...however so far you've proven you have no clear concept of of what it actually is.Now, would you care to discuss atheism?
If you wish to bring up the double edged sword.Let us hope that 1 isn't hanging over your head first.Hi Snake,
What about the binary nature of the existential claim that a deity exists? There exists such a binary question, and I demonstrated quite clearly that the atheist position is one of a truth statement which excludes any possibility of a deity existing if one chooses that viewpoint.
The only logical answer to the question is agnosticism. Yes, that means deists are being illogical in their faith, but that's part of the point isn't it?
Could you explain this statement please?the fact that I am still here after 17minutes of hanging out with the pale rider is proof enough for me.
OMG that made my night...And it needs to be a T-Shirt.I'd rather not have the clap, TYVM.
OMG Kant Popper Kuhn...LMAO.As far as philosophy, did you study Kant? Maybe Popper? Maybe Kuhn?
I would love to...however so far you've proven you have no clear concept of of what it actually is.
I'll give you a nice yellow slicker so the poo just slides right off without getting on your clothes.More like Aristotle, Avicenna and Plato...oh, and Sen...
I actually have read the entire thread. It seems as if you have a major grudge on this Surf Monkey fellow. He seems very intelligent to me and a much more worthy opponent than myself. Slinging poo gets us nowhere here, but, if that makes you happy, sling away, I'll duck....

I would prefer to not make an event that changed my life, fodder for a group of people looking to degrade someone for having a belief.Could you explain this statement please?
tru words....not a made for TV event. or fodder for bored dipshits.I would prefer to not make an event that changed my life, fodder for a group of people looking to degrade someone for having a belief.

Please stop...Seriously.ignoratio elenchi
Here's my problem with this line of thought.Sticking tab A into slot B shouldn't feel as good as it does.All evidence shows it should actually feel unpleasant.Reason says it's probably unsanitary as well.Yet I dare you to not do it and not like it.Now fuck off...Thanks.I reject belief in God due to a complete lack of any supporting evidence or reason around the concept.
Oh touche.If you believe something doesn't exist based on no evidence, wouldn't that be faith?
True, I TRIED to make that point a few pages back. Unfortunately that is not the case in this thread- When it gets to poking fun at the belief itself, and degrading a deity coupled to the fact that most of the group showed up at the same time, and most are only here for this one thread the true motive becomes rather easy ascertain.The only degrading I have seen has come from the side of the believers, with one exception. Most of us are not trying to take away your faith. I, for one, respect that you have faith. Just because I do not believe does not automatically make me the bad guy here. I merely express my own thoughts on the subject and I try to do it respectfully. It is a 2 way street, if you allow it.
He didn't say he believed.If you believe something doesn't exist based on no evidence, wouldn't that be faith?
Are... Are you in the right thread for that statement?Well, I am enjoying exploring the entire forum. Lots of great people here. Friendly and helpful. Glad I joined!
Show me his corpseHow can I prove to you with facts that Santa doesn't exist?
Dude I wished I could double like a postI am not a believer that something doesn't exist.
I don't believe it does exist.
Big difference.
Are... Are you in the right thread for that statement?
Yep.did this insanity just go full circle?
yeah all the aggression is a recent development. at least to the level it is at currentlySure, if it lightens things up in here. Seems we're always going to have smashers and bashers wherever we go. I gloss over them, for the most part and try to keep the peace. Almost impossible in this thread, but I believe it can be done. Each side needs to respect the OTHER side in order for any intelligent conversation to take place. I've seen way worse in other forums. Okay, maybe less swearing in those forums, but douchebaggery of the highest order has taken place and it wasn't pretty.
you need to get out of Kansas more often Dorthy or go back to ECF where the propritees of good anglo-saxon anal retention are observed,but the mudpit is just foreplay....Sure, if it lightens things up in here.

I like girlsVery true. I just don't understand how someone else believes or doesn't affects another person, unless they're shoving it down their throat. I've been friends with a lot of forum peeps for years and never had a clue what religion they followed or didn't, and it won't affect me one way or the other. Same if they're gay, straight, short, fat, old, young... Doesn't change my life a bit and we can still get along for the most part. That's why this thread is such a mess, everyone taking someone else's life personally
I think most people need to believe in something bigger than themselves.Personally I hope there is...otherwise I feel we are well and truly fucked.it will make the concept of god obsolete.
Noooo I'll never believe itI like girls
I think you're right.I'm pretty certain I'm the 1 who made the comment on the old man in the sky...Hint there is a search function on this forum.1) I have never said "sky daddy." You're remembering that wrong.
dirty...nasty...baaaaad girls....I like girls
