Perhaps the truest god/God is the one that we follow for nothing.
There should be no NEED for people to worship a god or gods.
We are no longer a primitive, tribal people (at least not in America): that is where the need for a deity to help allay fears of the unknown comes into play.
Today the questions which once led to the creation of religion have for the most part been answered and there is little mystery about the mechanics of human existence.
Climate, astronomy, procreation, disease: no mysteries any more, no need to pray for divine intervention to try to influence an outcome.
As science ascends the need of society for religion descends: that's just the way it is.
There is no PROOF that god exists: none.
Without objective proof that a concept is viable why would people devote so much time, energy, and money to religion?
Are they all that bereft of hope?
Mankind should be reaching for the stars now, not building drones and IED's to throw into unending religion-based conflicts.
Religion is akin to a veil over our collective eyes which, once removed, would allow for much clearer vision.
You talkin' to me, tough guy?
Save your breath, save your keyboarding: that fool is dead to me.
When I see you quote what he wrote I quickly look away without reading it.
Think of it this way: if I'm an asshole then he's a hemorrhoid, and who the hell wants a hemorrhoid?
This is what happens a collection of weirdo queers, atheists, agnostics, and transgender freaks rejects from WoV are allowed onto other forums. Nothing but irrational statements purporting that they're of higher intelligence than everyone else.
Mr. V. says how there'd be a lot less turmoil in the world if everybody didn't believe in God. That's very true. But he also denies that Jesus rose from the dead, something that factually did occur and is documented. So all he's doing is picking & choosing, in order that he feels best about his opinions. Isn't that what everyone does....esp. anonymous cowards?
If God ever does make an appearance here and proves His divinity, what will all the atheists then say? That's easy--they'll sit there and deny it ever occurred, similar to how the libtard California flakes deny that Hillary Clinton ever did anything illegal. They'll look stupid but they won't care.
That oughta do it for a while. We're hitting the roads in a few hours, and there's a whole lot more out there than there is here. My diesel pusher gets about 4.5mpg towing a car, so if anyone wants to donate just send it to kew and I'll pop in to pick it up when we return after summer's over. After all, he's a professional :)
This is for mickey when he's alone tonight....once again. That's Cindy with our daughter when my wife was 28. What mickey calls "heavy" at 132 lbs. today, he'd consider obese at 120 lbs. 36 yrs. ago.
Have a good time tonight mickey! :)
God help us.
Singer got that picture off the internet.
Why would anyone post pics of their family on a board like this?
Hell, we all looked pretty good when we were young.
Did you ever stop to think that religion is only the pursuit of God, and, as with the pursuit of happiness, there is no guarantee? How can a war be fought for God, with religions about God, when no one has figured out what God is? That's not even possible. Sure, you can say the all- powerful and loving being, but that is meaningless. You would be fighting a meaningless battle. I could claim that God hides "in plain rite" behind all of the idiotic religious belief. Then, who would suspect? So, to take the words of the ones you mock as sacrosanct, you mock yourself?
Perhaps, because atheism is so timid, and, itself, essentially impotent, that the atheists see religion as the root of all evil.
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...-wars-conflictQuote:
Atheists like Mao or Pol Pot have murdered millions in the name of political totalitarianism. Hitler used a quasi-mystical racist philosophy to exploit the ancient hatred of the Jews by Christians. I heard somewhere (I've never been able to discover where) that terrorism occurs when you combine a sense of military and economic inferiority with a sense of moral superiority. Religion is very good at conferring a sense of moral superiority on its followers.
Indeed, while the religious have murdered throughout history in the name of their god, I've been unable to find any evidence of atheists killing anyone in the name of atheism. Atheists are no more or less capable of evil than anyone else, but it seems that murder, particularly mass murder and war, is a sin of commission. In other words, human beings are generally only prepared to fight and kill in the name of something. It can be a god, but it can also be a political philosophy – like nazism or communism. Many fight for patriotism: for country, tribe or race. Some kill because they're psychologically disturbed, but none – so far – in the name of atheism.
So, while I don't agree that only religion causes conflict, I'd argue that all mass murder and war are fought in the name of a bigger-than-self philosophy or idea. Atheism, simply lack of belief in a god, has not yet proved compelling enough to motivate murder. So far no one has gone into a crowded public space and blown themselves up while shouting, "No god is great!".
Not sure how we truly exist, either. Repeated big bangs would erase all record of our individual existence with each and every new cycle. The one constant then would be the big bang, itself. But, again, what's behind that?
As for all the evolution stuff. The body can do anything the mind can do. It will evolve in the same crazy spits and spurts, or shape itself over the ages, and then some. Some ideas are seized upon, and others shaped.
Vbitch tries to convince us that he is brave about his beliefs. He is only brave towards Christians because he knows how they are taught. He should try getting brave with Muslims who will cut his head off for his blasphemy.
MickeyMouse Crimminal is trying to draw me into further debate; sorry, not interested.
Doing major automotive repair this weekend; go try trolling someone who gives a flying fuck.
