When I see folks refer to other faiths as a "scam" of "fairytales", it shows a lack of consideration and sets me off, but when I confront someone who claims they have "proof" either way that God exists or does not, then I really can't take anything they say seriously. C'mon now, Queen, you know that if such proof existed this matter would not be in contention. Please tell me you have another source other than that godisimaginary.com link, cause I perused that and it's just as one-sided and idiotic as any Christian site I've visited proclaiming they have definitive proof that the lawd does indeed exist.
The case that God doesn't exist is indeed where the default lies. You must prove God exists or have evidence, not the other way around.
Bertrand Russel argued that it is impossible for mankind to argue logically against a teapot orbiting around the earth at incredible speeds if the teapot is so small that it is undetectable even by the most powerful telescopes and machines we have on earth.
He also went on to say that although we cannot argue against such a tea pot it would be completely silly to argue that it exists, it is, after all, an incredibly small tea pot that we cannot see.
I for one, see no reason why I cannot claim that there is in fact, no omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent being that is somehow listening to all the prayers of all the people in the world, and is capable of fathering human beings and making snakes talk.
No, no it's not. You can't give me an analogy accurate enough, I'm afraid. You claiming there's a purple dragon in your garage can very easily be disproved if someone were to simply look in there. Your "proof" that God does not exists is based entirely on supposition. You speak of others being brainwashed, but really, you're the one sounding desperate to grasp at any straw that will keep your imagery alive. Purple dragon? No. Just admit you were wrong.
Well, I just did it(or Betrand Russel). So why don't you just admit you're wrong?
While I applaud you for your conviction, I have to say that growing up Catholic and then studying branches of Christianity does not mean you understand the religion. You're judging the faith by some of its misguided followers, when the message is one of piousness and love. Bear in mind that I find the beliefs of Christianity positively absurd, but I've seen the results that have come from genuine understanding of the words of Jesus Christ, and I gotta say he deserves better than to have some whelp like you goin around acting like you understand. Go study some more and put that fiery spirit of yours to good use, cause as it is now, your tirade is just as bad as I've seen from many a bible-thumper. Be better than that.
You fail to understand that *whatever* Jesus believed and taught
Christianity is defined by it's followers not by Christ.
See true science. Be intelligiently designed don't evolve with hitler see this.
Hitler was a Catholic. He didn't believe in evolution. He thought the Earth was 6,000 years old and he said "We must defend Christianity from the Jew". You shame Jesus by lying in His name.
Well I do hope you speak to your children like you speak to any person who believes in God (assuming your kids believe, since they usually do) and I do hope you don't hold back and really lay it on them. I also hope when a Loved one dies you really tell them what happens and not make it all sweet like you will see them in Heaven one day. hahahahahaha they should screw them up. :p
I wonder why you think children need to be condescended and lied to.
