  1. @Vomitonthecross Now, why are you acting gay? Christians never say they understand God completely. But what we know about HIM is enough to humble ourselves before Him, that which atheists don't do, they are too in the right, I guess.

  2. @Vomitonthecross "I still believe in Unicorns so that means that they put into place the laws of physics." LOL. By replacing bicycle tires n a car doesn't change the car into a bicycle. HAHAHAH. Could you explain to mewhat do you understand by these two word?: omniscient and omnipotent, while I am drinking my coffee.

  4. “You will never see a spear making a spear. You will never see a horse shoe making a blacksmith. You will never see a pot making a potter.” –Dennett.
    Well, the spear tells who made it. The horse shoe tells you who the maker is. Now, you will never see a pot laughing–mocking in the hands of its Creator without getting broken(into small pieces) or thrown outside. Don’t you see this pile of disobedient pots by my side?

  5. @Airlightf you cannot compare and contrast the nature of the contents of the universe with the nature of the universe itself. furthermore, the items you list all have identifiable uses, hence we associate them with having users. the universe on the other hand has no identifiable use. it is simplistic vanity that insists we humans must have a use, thus we must have a user (a god).

  8. @Airlightf 1. which god? 2. why do you believe that? 3. what if i also believe it, but simply don't care? 4. why does your response address none of my points?

  10. Atheists’ arguments against God are laughable and moronic: If I can give Christians a better life (than the kind of life Jesus—their king—gives them) or at least show them[convince them with facts my way is better than Jesus’] the best way to live life, then I have a right to open my mouth and speak up. But if I cannot do either, then the best thing for me to do is to shut my mouth and let Christians live their lives in Jesus’ Love, Way, and truth!!!

  14. @Airlightf your religion is a gay-bashing, woman-hating, fear-mongering cult of human sacrifice that deserves idiots such as yourself as followers. i will point out that you still haven't answered any of my very simple questions, but i doubt you'll respond honestly.

  15. @Airlightf ignorant…..

    Do you even know what your God made us of? according to the bible?

    Id rather be an evolved being (with a common ancestor with the apes) then a person without free will made of dirt….

  22. @Airlightf If u just think longer then a second. You will realise that what u just wrote proves that God is immoral if he exists….

    He knows forehand who is goin to choose so that they will go to hell.

    Knowing who will go to hell and who wont. It is immoral to create them. Just so they can live for a short while and then go to hell….

    Understand?

  25. @Airlightf Dan dennet is a so called determinist… but also a compatibilist…

    Im not sure… I would like to think that i have a free will….. (hence not a determinist, and not a believer in God) but i have no good argument for why this is true….

  27. @ThulinMartin I cannot beleive for you but i am embarrased for you 😐 Only an idiot/brainless can make a conclusion like yours" Knowing who will go to hell and who wont. It is immoral to create them. Just so they can live for a short while and then go to hell…." Did God tell you to become an atheist?" So you wan a god who doesn't know the future?

  29. @Airlightf that God would be more moral yes… But NO i dont want a God that doesnt know the future… I dont want a God at all… I want there to be free will…. But this isnt about what i want. Want and Believe is 2 different things. I dont believe in God.
    I cannot choose to believe… thats what makes him so immoral for sending people like me to hell. (that is if he does exist

    PLZ try to understand.

  30. @ThulinMartin God is Who He is. And nothing is going to change that. You will die anyway. It would be like you never existed anyway. So what mortals say don't count.

  32. @Airlightf What?? U dont understand anything of what i wrote?

    What you just wrote is totally irrelevant to the discussion….

    Put your critical thinking brain back in and then read our whole discussion again.

  34. @ThulinMartin I don't brag to know about things I didn't witness because a rational person will say "I do not know because I wasn't there at the time."

    — You know I don't believe in fantacy for adults or forced imaginatia to talk about things my eyes have never seen.

  35. IMO Religion stole these concepts from humanity.
    Just as it attempts to do with science by using ID today. It becomes a mirror but with BS, to concepts exposing it's fraud.
    Ie. the concept of the infinite & unity are not from religion, religion has people god wars. The concept of soul or spirit is corrupted by religious drivel.
    People have a tangible sense of community & festivity; the spirit of a gathering, it's soul. Religions steals & trashes our language & abuses kids with utter junk.

  36. @kapaleev Because the concepts born from science are not just products of mere speculation. They are products of careful observation, evidence, and predictions made from other preexisting theories.

  37. @kapaleev I myself am a physicist, and when we scientists hypothesize the existence of something like the Higgs boson or the homogeneity of the universe, it's not just some whim. We do so because those hypotheses are implied in some way or another from standing, well-tested particle physics or cosmological models. We assume as little as possible and are obliged to thoughtfully consider ALL evidence at hand.

  38. @CarlSagan6
    Enter Doctor Duncan MacDougall circa 1910. He and several doctors weighed the human soul in a scientifically accurate forum, it was even published in journals. Man is very blind by culture and religion that tells you what they want. Without them you'd see the power and beautiful of the soul, also that it doesn't require you donating money or hate. Because in the end, the love you make is the love you receive.

  43. Take a deep breath, the try this;

    What is a soul?
    What is it supposed to do?
    What kind of a thing is it? an idea, object or what
    Is there any real information or data?

    Here's what you'll find.

    You don't even know what you're talking about, but that's ok because noone knows even what it's supposed to be anyway? It's just 2000 years of words that nobody, including the writers have ever understood.

  44. Finally, fantastic. Ok so you are the one person who can make sense of 2000 years of confusion. cool, So
    What is a soul?
    What is it supposed to do?
    What are it's characteristics?
    How did you come to understand this?
    What special skill or knowledge do you have to claim authority?
    How can we tell if you are wrong or misleading us?

    I'm so glad you've got this sorted, I look forward to your response, Thanks

  45. I'm not trying to take the piss, but it seems to me that if this what we've managed to achieve in a pretty solid 5000 year study of spirituality and the supernatural then we need to let it go. Compare w/- just 100 yo flight. The spiritual conversation is not just a waste of time and effort, but is clearly an obsession inducing blind alley distracting us from worthwhile improvement of the human condition.

  46. I'm up to date on these issues. If you think these results are interesting, that's great, but I think you set a very low bar.
    In relation to your first sentence, I concur to a point. The moment study of theses subjects was permitted, it was engaged in with vigour, we call it The Enlightenment. Science developed and moved away from these subjects for the same reasons farmers move away from the desert. They aren't scared or confused, they are just far more interested in being productive.
